  1. A Second Civil War, Is It Possible?

    Despite being freed as slaves, Blacks in American still weren't treated with equality, hence the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1920s and post World War II, they migrated to the North and West for better jobs and oppurtunities. While they might've dealt with some discrimination, it was nothing...

  2. Would FDR Run For a Fifth Term?

    As we all know, Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as President of The United States for 12 years and 3 months, longer than any man who held that office prior to and ever since. He was also the only man to serve more than two terms(he was elected 4 times). He died shortly into his fourth term, had...

  3. How Big Did Hitler Want Nazi Germany?

    Simple question. At its peak in 1941/1942, the Third Reich controled most of Europe with the exceptions of Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden(where I'm from), the UK, Ireland, Turkeyand the eastern part of Russia. Here's a basic map of how big the Nazi Empire has gotten...

  4. How Was Worse? Stalin or Hitler?

    The two biggest superpowers in Europe during World War II, both men were synonomous with the term "evil." While both men had similar upbrinings and goals for World Domination, the two certainly weren't exchanging Christmas Cards with one another, especially after Hitler invaded the Eastern End...

  5. AHC:Get Hitler Out of Power....

    WITHOUT killing him. It can be anytime during his reign as fuhrer(1933 to 1945). During his peak, The Third Reich seemed unstoppable, but if numerous empires/monarchies/dynasties before and after has shown, no regime is bullet proof, and Nazi Germany is no different. So what are some ways...

  6. If William McKinley Wasn't Assassinated...

    Lets say the 25th President didn't go to Buffalo that night or at the very least, survived the assasination, how would history change? Would Teddy Roosevelt still be President at some point? William McKinley certainly made a name for himself in American History. Two major events in his...

  7. How Come James K. Polk Never Gets Mentioned?

    According to historical rankings, 11th United States President James K. Polk gets ranked very favorably, sometimes in the top 10. The reason being is because he accomplished all the goals he set during his presidency. When we hear about great presidents, guys like Washington, Lincoln...

  8. If The Holocaust Never Happened....

    On the eve of World War II, there was an estimated 16 to 18 million Jews Worldwide, 9 million of which lived in Europe. By the end of the war, an estimated 6 million Jews were wiped out(thats the entire Jewish population of Israel). The Jews that survived emigrated out of Europe, mostly to...

  9. If Teddy Roosevelt Ran For President in 1920(and won)?

    So there was talk that he was going to run for office in 1920, but died in 1919. If this Rough Ryder ran for office in 1920, and presumably won, how do you think his term would play out? We he bring the nation "back to normalcy" after World War 1? If he runs again and wins, do you think he'd be...

  10. What Would Abe Lincoln's Legacy Be Like If He Wasn't Assassinated?

    If there was any United States President who was both deeply loved and bitterly hated during his day, look no further than to the great emancipator himself. At an astounding 6'4, this larger than life figure refused to be intimidated and wouldn't go down without a fight, wheather its...

  11. If Israel Was Around During World War II....

    While the Holocaust sped up the creation of a Jewish State, there were movements for one as far back as the 1900s with Theodor Herzl as a founding member of the push for Zionism. Lets say the Independant State of Israel formed earlier(lets just say between the World Wars) how would that have...

  12. Historical Ironies...

    What moments in history would you consider ironic? Here are a few I can name.... The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact/Operation Barbarossa - The two biggest superpowers in Europe - Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin weren't exactly exchanging Christmas Cards with one another, but up until 1941, were...

  13. Historical Moments That Seem Surreal in Retrospect....

    I'm talking about moments that if somebody told you before it occured that this would happen, you would write it off as ASB, but turned out to be quite the opposite. Here's what I can up with... Adolf Hitler as Dictator of Germany - Its hard to believe that a glorifed criminal not only took...

  14. If JFK Wasn't Assasinated, How Would He Be Looked Upon....

    With his boyish looks and undeniable charisma, the 35th United States President is ranked highly by historians. Many here claimed that not just because of his popularity at the time, but also because of the sympathy of his death is he ranked that highly in the books. If Kennedy wasn't killed...

  15. Who Would You Save? Lincoln or Kennedy?

    2 great United States Presidents who have similar histories and both fell victim to the Curse of Tippecanoe(presidents who were elected in a year ending in 0 died in office). That being said, if you had a chance to go back in time, who would you save? I'd save Lincoln since he already proved...

  16. If Stonewall Jackson Survived The Civil War....

    So I just bought the Civil War in Color book and I was reading how Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Confederate General, was wounded and eventually died from his injuries. That was considered a huge blow to the Confederacy and possibly sped up their defeat by the Union. My question is, if...

  17. Challenge: Slavic Germany...

    Despite having similar physical features and customs(well, at least with Western Slavs since they were both part of Prussia and The Holy Roman Empire), Germany and its Slavic neighbors have gotten along like cats and dogs. Even today, we'll they put up with one another, there is still tension...

  18. How Did They Keep Track of Dates Before Christ?

    Something I'm just wondering. We all know that anytime before Jesus was born was listed as B.C. and anytime after that is A.D. which goes forward. Before Christ was born however, how did they keep track of these things. I really would like to know, thanks.

  19. Whats The Earliest The Holocaust Could've Stopped....

    WITHOUT assassinating Hitler? I'm talking about before it got out of hand and claimed the lives of 6 million Jews and countless others. I can think of two situations.... 1)When Jews who were fleeing Nazi Germany tried to seek asylum to either Cuba, United States, or Canada but were turned...

  20. Whats With All The Wilson Hate?

    I've noticed this board ranks the 28th President of The United States as one of the worst presidents of all time, yet I hardly read anything that depicts him in a negative light, aside from his prejudist views. I mean, he's usually ranked among the top 5 presidents by historians. He won the...
