    Southpaw: The Ballgame Between the States (Archangel Michael, Georgepatton, Gryphon)

    A Wikibox Micro-TL by Georgepatton, Archangel Michael, Gryphon This is a timeline about baseball, and a world that happens to exist around baseball. In this world, the Civil War ended differently, and the Confederate States still exist. There surely would be massive changes wrought to the...

    Ten Years On: A Mini-TL

    TEN YEARS ON: THE POST-WAR WORLD Author's introduction: This is my first proper AH.COM TL. This is not an average sort of TL where you know everything that's going on. Instead, it's going to be a peek into an ATL, covering a few things here, some stuff there, and some bits and off on the...

    Could the Mongol Empire have conquered the world?

    It's a simple enough question. Given the proper PODs, could the Mongol Empire have eventually conquered the whole planet, and if so, how, and if not, why? (I'm sorry I can't be a better discussion-starter; my knowledge of the Mongols is relatively limited. I am of the understanding that, had...

    Lincoln chooses Seward as VP in 1864?

    I know about the reasons why Johnson was chosen- he brought in the votes from the other half of the country that might've gone to McClellan- but let's say, just for the sake of argument, that Lincoln picks his secretary of state, William Seward, to become his running mate (perhaps placating the...

    WI Nootka Sound incident sparks British/Spanish war

    Nootka Sound, of Maple Leaf Forever fame (cue the sound of a thousand sarcasm detectors exploding) was a hotbed of geopolitical activity for about twenty years. And then it stopped. While it was interesting, Nootka Sound was a trading area. Two such areas, actually, one British, and one...

    Effects of a shorter Civil War

    Let's say, for reasons anonymous, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas decide to stay within the Union, and the Civil War only lasts for a couple of years, say until late '62 or early '63. What effect will this have- not only on the US, but also the rest of the world? (In fact, if...

    Carriers at Pearl

    Yes, another Pearl Harbor thread. Let's say *waves hands furiously* that the Enterprise had been a little bit early in arriving at Pearl, and the Lexington a bit late in leaving, so both carriers are docked on Dec. 7. First question: is this plausible? Or am I a complete idiot for even...

    After Afghanistan

    Let's say the Soviets win quickly in Afghanistan. What happens next? For the sake of argument, say the Soviets have completely defeated the Afghani rebels by 1982, and are in complete control, having suffered moderate, but not crippling, losses. What do they do next? What does this do to...

    WI- F-16 cancelled

    So, I was thinking earlier today, "What if the F-16 was cancelled, and the Lightweight Fighter mafia failed their mission? Would the Air Force buy more F-15 Eagles? Probably. What would Europe buy? I dunno, I can't remember all the European fighters from that time period at 4:30 in the morning...

    AH European War Challenge

    (Placed in pre-1900 because most PODs will end up there, I can feel it) With a POD no earlier than 1871, and preferably as late as possible (I'll take anything up to 1908) have the Kaiserreich and the British Empire on the same side in an alliance against France, Italy, and Austria-Hungary...

    WI the Archduke was killed by...

    an Italian? Say, a young Italian (we'll call huim Bruno) is just a bit touched in the head. Bruno is upset about the Austrians doing something or other, and goes to Sarajevo and shoots the Archduke just before Principe could do the job. What happens to the world, since A-H's main trigger...

    Franco-British War in Africa?

    I have read that a war between France and the British Empire was quite possible, and "narrowly averted," in 1898. French military forces going east from Gabon and British forces moving south from Sudan encountered each other. What would have happened should this have developed into a...
