  1. AHC: Cyrillic alphabet more widespread than in OTL

    A simple challenge. What is the more widespread Cyrillic alphabet can get? Bonus points if it doesn't involve any kind of Russo-wank. (And of course, the POD must be before 1900, so no Soviet-wank either)
  2. AH Challenge: Independent Chechnya

    The challenge is, with a POD after December 26th, 1991 (the official date of the dissolution of the Soviet Union), to have a fully independent and internationally recognized Chechnya by present day. Bonus points if you make other regions of the former Soviet republics independent aswell.
  3. AHC: Jewish General Secretary of the CPSU

    The challenge is, with a POD after October, 1917, to have at any time a Jewish General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (or an equivalent, since the title was created by Stalin on 1922). A zillion bonus points if you don't play the obvious card: Trotsky.
  4. Sports in a "Nazis win WWII" world

    OK, let's assume the Nazis won World War II. How, it doesn't matter here. My question is, how would sports look in a world like this? Do you think we will see a hot rivalry between the Nazis and the Free World like during OTL Cold War? Do you think the Nazis would eventually have founded its...
  5. Keeping Alaska Russian

    Like the title says. What is the best way to keeping Alaska Russian and avoid its purchase by the United States? Is it plausible?
  6. Balkanization of Bolivia

    Hi everybody, this is for a TL I'm planning. Do you think the 2008 Bolivian crisis could have escalated into a civil war between the Evo Morales government and the Media Luna departments, which would eventually look for independence? I was thinking of a 2006 POD. Inmediately after Morales...
  7. AH Challenge: Strong Jewish working class/left wing politics

    Before WWII, there was a strong European Jewish working class. There used to be plenty of Jewish labor unions (see Bundism, for example) and Socialist/Communist Jewish organizations all across Europe and even the United States. Even Marx himself was Jewish, and so were others like Trotsky or...
  8. WI Kissinger never emigrates to the US?

    Henry Kissinger was born Heinz Alfred Kissinger to a Jewish family in Furth, Bavaria, on 1923. In 1938, the Kissingers emigrated to the United States, settling in New York. So, what if the family stay in Germany and Heinz Kissinger dies in the Holocaust? How would the world look today?
  9. WI Hitler discovered alive!

    Alright, let's pretend some conspiracy theories are true and Hitler did survive the Fall of Berlin and somehow managed to escape from both the Soviets and the Western Allies. But the world thinks Hitler commited suicide just like in OTL. Now let's pretend somewhere in the 1960's, an...
  10. AH Challenge: American Football popular in Europe

    So, like the title says, your challenge is to make American football a fairly popular sport in Europe, not as much as football/soccer (whatever you want to call it), but just as basketball or ice hockey. The POD, of course, must be after 1900. Let's play ;)
  11. AH Challenge: Republic of Alaska

    So, the challenge is having a Republic of Alaska with a POD after 1800. And also, how would this sovereign nation look today?
  12. AH Challenge: Hungarian Texas

    OK, this is probably a nonsense. The challenge is to make Texas (or the territory now known as Texas) an Hungarian colony (or Austro-Hungarian, but it's better if it is only Hungarian). I don't care about the year and that stuff. Play ;)
  13. Germany wins at East, loses at West?

    WI Germany wins at the East Front but is defeated by the Allied forces at West? What would be the consequences? For now, I'm thinking in a Cold War with a Greater German Reich instead of the Warsaw Pact (I think this is pretty obvious), with France being divided like OTL's Germany: a pro-Nazi...
  14. Theocratic Israel

    What is the best way to have a theocratic State of Israel by present day? Would such a state survive? How would be this state's real attitude towards his Arab neighbours? I am thinking of a country ran by people like these guys. Is there a way for such a state or are we talking about...
  15. WI Jews stay in Spain?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra_decree WI the Alhambra decree was never issued, and Jews were never expelled from the Iberian Peninsula? Which would be the consequences 'til present day?
  16. Sporty AH Challenge: Soccer in the US

    Here's the challenge: with a POD no earlier than 1920, make soccer the most popular sport in the United States today. ;)
  17. American Hitler

    How can we have a Hitler-like American dictator (around the same time as the original Hitler), with his regime including hardcore racism (I suppose against blacks and Jews), concentration camps, expansionism, paramilitary forces a la SS and other Nazi typical stuff? Who is the best candidate...
  18. Brezhnev dies in 1969

    On January 22, 1969, a Red Army officer called Viktor Ilyin attacked a car outside the Kremlin with two Makarovs, thinking Leonid Brezhnev was in. But in the car there were only some cosmonauts, and nobody died. But what if Ilyin attacked the right car, and with a more powerful weapon (let's say...
  19. AH Challenge

    Your challenge, should you accept it, is to find a way so we can have at least one or two of these fully independent nations in the world today. - Republic of Corsica - Republic of Lapland - Kingdom of Hawaii - Nunavut - Republic of Tasmania :eek: (I don't know how and why...) The POD must...
  20. WI: No Gulf War in 1990, but...

    WI Saddam, in 1990, instead of invading another Arab nation as Kuwait, offers Syria military help to recover the Golan Heights, and the Syrians accept? Might this help Saddam to place himself as a Pan-Arab leader, at least among the people? How would the Western, and specially the US react...
