  1. Close, But No Cigar: The Fall and Rise and Fall of the Reform Party

    Close, But No Cigar: The Fall and Rise and Fall of the Reform Party A Timeline in a While, by @Plumber, Japhy, and @Revolutionary Avocado
  2. AH Vignette: Madam President?

    MADAM PRESIDENT? Monday, Aug. 4, 2003 From the Watergate affair to the Children’s Defense Fund, from the “mean streets” of Chicago to the Illinois governor’s mansion to the United States Senate, Senator Hillary Rodham-Marks has always, in the words of her 1969 Wellesley College commencement...
  3. AH Vignette: Channel Dogs (1969)

    CHANNEL DOGS “Channel Dogs is a 1969 neo-Western film directed by Kerry McGowan and starring Max Hampstead, Masaharu Atsumi, Cassius Smalls Jr. and Kelsey Jackson. The film is based on the 1921 hijacking of the Areuto Maru, a Japanese-owned merchant steamer, by the predominantly White Alaskan...
  4. AH Vignette: This Tree of Liberty, a Trunk of Hickory

    This Tree of Liberty, a Trunk of Hickory Colonel Neville Hammond could barely hear. The roar of the guns had sent his eardrums into a state of nervous collapse, huddling in on themselves and ringing like all the bells in St. Luke’s Cathedral. The campaign had been short but grueling. He had...
  5. TLIAD: La Patrie ou La Mort, Nous Vaincrons

    La Patrie ou La Mort, Nous Vaincrons Another one? Yeah, I'm doing another timeline in a day. You said your last one would take a week. It's been six months. We're on an alternate history forum. Let's just say time is mutable. Also, I have a job. Tough to find time and all. This shouldn't...
  6. Vignette Collection: If I Forget Thee, Oh Jerusalem

    So, in the spirit of Japhy's excellent vignette series "Worlds at War", and inspired by the great joy I've had in writing my own vignettes (here and here), I present to you If I Forget Thee, Oh Jerusalem. This will be a series of vignettes set in alternate cities of Jerusalem, with a wide...
  7. AH Vignette: Ishmael ve'Yitzhak

    Meir Ya’ari shifted in his tunic, uncomfortable and sweaty in the heavy, starched cotton. Still, the occasion called for a degree of ceremony, and the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Palestine was not much for formal wear of the Arab or Western variety. That left military uniforms, once pulled...
  8. TLIAW: La Revolućion Vive!

    La Revolućion Vive! What is this? It's a TLIAW; unclear as to whether or not the 'W' stand for 'while' or 'week'. But what about Fear Not the Revolution, Habibi? It's coming. ........ Give me time. And space. And what's this about anyway? Spanish Civil War? I don't roll with that...
  9. WI: The Somozas Leaves Power Early

    What it says. Basically, what happens if the Somoza dynasty leaves power before 1979 and "democracy" is restored in Nicaragua? POD can be no earlier than the election of Anastasio Somoza Debayle as president in 1967.
  10. AHC: Anyone But McGovern in '72

    George McGovern, while an excellent man in my opinion, was far too radical for his time. His candidacy for president in 1972 doomed the Democrats to a truly horrifying election loss to Richard Nixon. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to have the Democratic nominee in 1972 be...
  11. WI: King Alexander II of Yugoslavia is not assassinated

    What it says on the tin. What happens? Does the slow process of re-democratization continue? Do the reforms enacted under Milan Stojadinovic still happen? Does Yugoslavia align with the Axis reluctantly? If they do, I could see them turning on the Germans as soon as they get a decent chance...
  12. WI/AHC: Somalia Wins the Ogaden War

    Is it possible for the Somalis to win the war? They, at one point, held 90% of the Ogaden region, and had destroyed significant parts of the Ethiopian military in the initial attack. Say the Derg was somewhat less stable or organized at the point of invasion, thus leading to a more rapid initial...
  13. Fear Not the Revolution, Habibi: A Middle East Timeline

    Part One: A Coup in Syria 25 January 1969 Hafez al-Assad, Minister of Defense of the Syrian Arab Republic, checked his watch. It was 10:31. He had been waiting for a meeting with his ally and friend Mustafa Tlass, the Army Chief of Staff. Tlass, as per usual, was late. “The idiot can...
  14. WI: Đinđić Dodges The Bullet?

    What it says. What happens if Zoran Đinđić, the liberal reformist Prime Minister of Serbia, is not assassinated in 2003? Say his bodyguard gets in the way, and the shot that killed him OTL kills the bodyguard but only wounds him. Đinđić then uses the political capital created by this to launch a...
  15. PC: Burma as Asian Congo

    I was wondering whether or not it is plausible that Burma, despite being screwed up (although improving) today, becomes substantially worse and by the modern day reaches the point of chaos, internal bloodshed and underdevelopment that characterizes the DRC? The factors that I think give it this...
  16. WI/AHC: Salah Jadid Remains in Power?

    What it says on the tin. What if Salah Jadid had remained in power? How would he sideline or purge Bashar al-Assad and his more moderate "Corrective Revolution" clique in the Ba'athist Party? What shape would a more radically Ba'athist Syria take? How would Syria look economically and socially...
  17. PC: East Prussia as Taiwan?

    Here's an interesting idea. Say the Spartacist uprising in Germany in 1919 succeeds, maybe with a dual PoD. The first PoD being that the SPD decides to support the revolution wholeheartedly, planning to act as a moderating influence post-conflict. The second PoD being increased radicalization of...
