  1. England divided into Provinces following Redcliffe-Maud Report

    In OTL, between 1966 and 69, a report was published advocating a radical overhaul of Local Government in England - it called for the existing system that had existed since 1889 to be scrapped and for England to be divided into Provinces, which would in turn be subdivided into Unitary...

  2. WI: African Decolonisation much more thorough and 'normal'

    In a way, the British, French, Belgian and Portuguese Empires in Africa died the strangest deaths in all of Empire-breakup history. In many ways it was a non-death. Compare it to the earlier 20th century deaths of the Ottoman, Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires, where you saw actual...

  3. WI: British relations with former colonies more like Russia-Baltic relations

    Here's an interesting thought experiment. What if the post-colonial relations between Britain and former colonies in Africa and Asia were more like post-Soviet relations between Russia and the Baltic States. By that I mean: No Commonwealth or any 'post-colonial' organisation uniting the...

  4. If you could change the decolonisation of Africa, what would you change?

    What the thread says on the tin.

  5. WI: Developed Country semi-abolishes compulsory education post-primary

    What if in the 21st century, the government of any developed country (let's say the UK or Germany) decided to radically reform their secondary education by, say, announcing the following: Only National Language/Literacy and Maths classes shall be compulsory from ages 11-16 Other utilitarian...

  6. 'Switzerland on sea' - A very different British TL

    In a 21st Britain quite different from our own, thousands of families across the country are getting out of bed to start the normal school run. Not so very different at all, I hear you ask. Well no, but how about the schools themselves? You see, Britain, or rather the Empire of the British...

  7. Largest possible number of German-speaking countries today

    How many German-speaking countries can we have in the 21st century without Germany's own borders in the periods 1945-1990 and 1990-present being any different from OTL? At the moment we have four majority German-speaking countries: Germany Austria Switzerland Liechtenstein Along with two other...

  8. WI: Volga German independent state post 1991

    Here is a map of the interwar Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which existed between 1918 and 1941, when, in response to the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, Stalin deported the Volga Germans: In 1939, it had a population of 606,352, of whom 60% were Volga Germans. In...

  9. WI: Molotov-Ribbentrop pact gives Nazis everything

    What if the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact had given the Nazis all of Poland and the Baltic States. Stalin's aim would be to not look like the aggressor and 'Liberate' Eastern Europe at a later date.

  10. WI: Russian Federation becomes a 'proper' Liberal Democracy

    What if the Russian Federation had become a proper functioning Liberal Democracy after the fall of the Soviet Union, meaning that: *Genuine party political pluralism exists, and there is no one party/dominant party system. *An incumbent political party has to loose at least one Presidential AND...

  11. WI: Orkney and Shetland stay linguistically Scandinavian into C20

    This is a linguistic map of Scotland from the Fifteenth Century. As you may have guessed, Blue is Gaelic and Yellow is English/Scots. But you may be wondering what orange is? Orange is Norn, the Scandinavian language of Orkney and Shetland, spoken there ever since the Vikings first took over...

  12. WI: Czechoslovakia divided between West and East in 1945?

    What if Czechoslovakia had been divided between the Western Allies and the Red Army after WW2 so that the present day Czech republic had been a non-communist state?

  13. WI: Edward's Conquest of Wales hadn't happened

    What if Llywelyn ap Gruffudd had not decided to provoke Edward I of England and had managed to preserve the power that he had from the treaty of Montgomery? How would Welsh and British history be different if say the independent Principality of Wales had survived at least until the 14th Century?

  14. Have more Finland-style Bilingual countries in Europe

    How can we have some more Finland-style bilingual countries in Europe, in which the country has two official languages, one being the language of a small minority that's less than 10% of the population? Try to keep the POD to 1900 but you do have my permission to go back further.

  15. WI: British Civil War between 1909 and 1914

    What if either the House of Lord's rejection of the people's budget, or the Irish Home War Crisis, had let to Civil War in Britain? This Civil War would be between the Tories, Ulster Unionists, Monarchy and Aristocracy on one side and the Liberals, Labour and Irish Nationalists on the other. The...

    What if there had been no Armenian Genocide?

  17. WI: Berwick upon Tweed the British Capital after 1603/1707

    What if Berwick Upon Tweed had been made the capital of Great Britain upon the union of England and Scotland, meaning that King James moves there in 1603 followed by Parliament in 1707? This means that the British do what the Spanish did after the Union of Aragon and Castille and create a...

    What if the Romans had spoken Etruscan instead of Latin?
