  1. How scary can 1920s-1930s Soviet Union be to Europe and the United States?

    With a post 1918 POD (more or less) I'm trying to get a balance between Otl and the Extremely Reluctant Furher with both France and Germany as powers in 1940 without either being at war or expecting a war between them at any moment. In order to have *that* you would need something that would...

  2. Best US result at Pearl Harbor -> Philippines saved?

    What would need to happen on December 7th, 1941 (at Pearl Harbor) to allow the United States to keep the Philippines from falling? Are we looking at things that would butterflies of small changes or are we at ASB needed?

  3. Maximum European help to the Union in the Civil War?

    Most ATL US Civil War consider the idea that the UK and or France might get involved or more general European support for the Confederacy. What would max European help to the *Union* look like and how do we get there? (Assume a POD no earlier than 1856) For starters, no Trent of any type, but...

  4. AHC: After Apollo 11, the US launches a *single* astronaut mission.

    The Television show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (on air 1979-1981) had Captain Buck Rogers launched in 1987 as the *only* astronaut on the Mission. The last time the United States launched was the last of the Mercury missions in May of 1963. I'm not quite sure the last time the...

  5. No Monarchies in Europe as of 1900?

    With a POD after 1800, what would have to happen for there to be *no* monarchies in Europe as of 1900. Is it more likely with an 1840s divergence to a *very* successful 1848-1849 revolutions or *perhaps* a victorious Napoleon and then a duplication of 1789 against him in some way? Ideas?

  6. AHC:Smallest 1913 US Army with POD after Fort Sumter.

    Your challenge is to create a TL where the US Army in 1913 is smaller than it was iOTL. The POD must be after Fort Sumter, the United States must control Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Boston as well as land connecting them. Additionally, the size of the US Army must not be limited by...

  7. ATL with road/rail through the Darien Gap?

    I *think* the only TL that I've seen with a road/rail connection through the Darien Gap (so you can Drive/Ride from the US to South America) is Decades of Darkness. In that TL, you have slave labor and a Military reason for having to move things south... Does anyone have any others? I'd...

  8. Best 20th Century Naval Battles on the North American Great Lakes?

    iOTL, the last battles on the Great Lakes were two generations of Naval Ships prior to the first iron ships. In some alternate TLs the USA and Canada in the 20th Century are either at war (or are staring at each other across the Great Lakes preparing for possible war on the Lakes. Who did those...

  9. Partition of Paraguay?

    While Paraguay sometimes gets compared to Prussia, I think there may be another country it could be compared to: Poland. Can we have Paraguay partitioned by Brazil & Argentina (and possibly a rump state which gets merged with Bolivia). Just as Warsaw getting taken over represents the end of the...

  10. Post WWI - No Throne Loss.

    With a POD after January 1, 1915, have World War I end with all of the thrones which existed prior to the war continuing to exist. Forcing Monarchs to abdicate in favor of sons/brothers is fine.

  11. AHC: Unified French Mandate.

    AHC: With a POD after 1923 have the French Mandate that iOTL was split between Syria and Lebanon gain independence as one country (and remain that way for at least a year). For these purposes Lebanon includes all of its current territory and Syria must contain at least the Hama and Damascus...

  12. Islam and the West African Coast?

    iOTL, it appears that Islam's spread in Africa "almost" reached the southern coast of Western Africa before the Western Europeans reached there. Was this a case of simply not enough time (if the Europeans hadn't arrived for another 100 years, it would have) or were there more specific reasons...

  13. Looking for a Britishscrew Timeline with princes killing princes...

    I don't remember whether it was a minor timeline or a particularly Britishscrew part of a more major TL, but a Crown Prince (or young British King) killed one of his brothers, wounded another and then committed Suicide (or something similar), the event was in either the Late 1700s or early 1800s.

  14. AHC: Confederacy wins without Virginia (or foreign assistance)

    AHC: With a POD after the beginning of the Mexican American War, have a victorious (slave holding) Confederacy that does not contain Virginia and that did not get overt help from a Foreign Power.

  15. Railroad connection across the Bering Strait

    I've seen a few Timelines where having a rail link through the Darien Gap makes sense (Decades of Darkness is the only one that springs immediately to mind) mostly for a USA taking most of the Americas. After seeing Snowpiercer , I'm wondering what possible history would hive a Railroad...

  16. War of the Belgian succession possible?

    At the turn of the 20th century, the line of succession of the Crown of the Belgians was *very* short. In 1900 Leopold II (died in 1909) 's heir presumptive was his brother Prince Philippe (who died in 1905) . Philippe had one living son, OTL Albert I, who himself had a son (OTL Leopold III) in...

  17. Any "Victoria born male" TLs?

    Has anyone seen any TL written where Queen Victoria is born male and thus becomes king of Hanover as well? On the one hand this adds another power Prussia needs to defeat to unify Germany, but I'm not sure that Prussia can't manage the one at a time that it did iOTL.

  18. AHC:Washington DC: Swing "State"

    OTL 2016 had Hilary taking 90.86% of the vote in Washington DC, Donald Trump took 4.09%, Gary Johnson 1.6% and Jill Stein 1.4%. It is not out of the question that Trump may finish third in Washington DC in 2020 (and still win the election). Challenge: With a POD after 1950 have the following 1)...

  19. Have significant areas first seen by Satellite.

    In Civilization III, the discovery of the technological advance Satellites reveals the entire world to the player, however in pretty much any game I've ever played, World and territory maps are cheap (if you aren't at war with a civ, you can trade for them for less money than building most...

  20. AHC:Australia one of the worst places to live in the world.

    With a POD of 1901 (Australian Nationhood), make Australia in 2019 the worst place in the world to live. Either OTL North Korea-esque or (preferably) OTL Somalia-esque. Rules: 1) No more than 10 times the nukes used in anger than OTL, and *none* of the nukes can detonate on Australia. 2) An...
