  1. The Eugenic Wars (book)

    ***Minor Spoilers below*** I just finished reading volume two of the Eugenic Wars by Greg Cox. Overall, enjoyable book. However, it now seems to me that the Eugenic Wars wasn't a real war at all. It felt like a series of special forces attacks over the period of about four...

  2. American Civil War - 1854 to ?

    My knowledge of American History before 1860 is somewhat hazey, so I'm here to learn from this thread. Can we make it possible for the American Civil War start in 1854 or 1855 if the Kansas-Nebraska Act had gone the other way? If all of Kansas and Nebraska territory became free territory would...

  3. Anarcho -Capitalism

    How can we get any part in the world today to follow the principles of Anarcho-Capitalism? Basically, how can we have society completely privatized in every aspect? (private police, no taxes, legal monoplies on ANYTHING, etc.) From wikipedia: Anarcho-capitalism is a philosophy whose...

  4. Modern day ghettos in the United States

    This is sort of a mix of Star Trek, future history and alternate history. How could we make possible so that today there are ghettos controlled by the government, where people cannot leave until they find a job or a place to live. Example: The homeless all around the United States are rounded...

  5. Why do you like alternate history?

    I'm curious, what made you guys interested in alternate history? I always liked science fiction and history, so for me, alternate history was kind of putting both of them together. So why do you like this genre?

  6. Resurrection Day

    I'm going to order this book tomorrow and I'm curious what did you guys think of it? The premise looked great, but I'm wondering how was the presentation of the book?

  7. Tony Blair- Nazi (In the Presence of Mine Enemies)

    Did anyone catch the reference made about Tony Blair in the Presence of Mine Enemies? He's the Chairman of BUF (British Union of Fascists). His real name is Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, so I'm assuming it's him. Just felt like sharing.

  8. Random President List

    Ok, this is just a random list of alternate U.S. presidents. It's not supposed to make a lot of sense, I just found it fun to make. I didn't use the butterfly effect. Basiclly, the USA is much more liberal and socialism is very popular. The Republicans die out and come back again, the Democrats...

  9. Sorry Stalin, no bomb for you!

    According to the CIA Intelligence Memorandum 225, "Estimate of Status of Atomic Warfare", the Soviet Union would not be capable of devolping and test an atomic bomb until as early as mid-1950 and as late as the early 60s, the most probable date sometime in 1953 or 1954. This report was still...

  10. WI Alfred Landon wins in 1936?

    I can't think of any plausable scenerio that has Landon win in '36 since FDR won by one of the largest landslides in American presidential election history, but let's just say he is able to win, by whatever means. How would this effect history? Would it butterfly a lot of things away and could...

  11. Bonus Army

    If you don't know about the Bonus Army march on Washington D.C., here is some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_army What if this event became much more violent, where hundreds, maybe even thousands died? What could cause it, or is that really implasuable? Could something have driven...

  12. Fatherland questions

    ***Spoilers*** I had a question about the United States in Fatherland by Robert Harris. Was the USA ever at war with Germany in the book? If one of the PODs is that the Allies lose at D-Day, you would think the United States was fighting Germany. However, the book mentions that the...

  13. What would happen if the United States had lost the War of 1812?

    I've been thinking about this for a while, and I was wondering would it be like in a world where the United States had lost to Britain in the War of 1812. By losing, I mean being crushed and losing militarily. Basiclly, I want the USA to come to the peace table. What would the consquences be of...

  14. Dixicratic America

    How could we have the United States be a rascist, anti-civil rights, anti-black and jewish country? How could we have southern culture be the dominant force in America? Could we have a country that is nothing but white? What about the Dixiecrats? Maybe if they somehow win 1948, or maybe if the...

  15. Why Germany Won- Timeline of the Third Reich 1933-2010

    I wrote this timeline based off of Harry Turtledoves novel In the Presence of Mine Enemies . There were so many unanswered questions that I wanted to make them myself. Even if you didn't read the book you'll know whats going on. This is just a rough draft and focuses on the timeline of his book...

  16. Microsofts torn apart North America

    For those of you not familiar with Crimson Skies video game for the PC, or Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge for the X-Box game console, here is a pretty cool alternate history timeline about the United States. It diverges sometime in the 1920s. While it's not too plausable, its enjoyable to...

  17. WI: Teddy Roosevelt was President during WW1?

    If TR was President during WW1, what would happen? Now I dont care how he wins in 1912 and I dont want to look in the archives. Would the United States enter the war in 1914? Would TR enlarge the military? I plan to write a story with TR as President during WW1 and I need some answers. If there...

  18. James Garfield, 20th President of the USA, dies at battle of Shiloh

    What might've happen for the next 20 or 25 years had James Garfield died at the Battle of Shiloh in April of 1862? What about the election of 1880? Any thoughts?

  19. WI: No Pearl Harbor

    Lets say the Japanese fleet did not strike at Pearl Harbor on Decemeber 7th, 1941? Lets say the reason is because Japan and America were able to make a 6 month or 1 year plan in which the United States agreed to give oil to Japan in exchange for no more Japanese advances into China or...

  20. Why did Denmark get territory from Germany in WW1?

    I know I'm missing something here, but why did Denmark get territory from Germany after WW1? Denmark was neutral so I'm a little confused. Could somebody explain? Thanks.
