  1. French Colonies after Socicalist Revolution

    So, here's the scenario I'm chewing over in my head. Firstly, Britain and France don't agree to sign the Entente cordiale however butterflies are kept to a minimum so WWI breaks out as historically. Germany however doesn't violate Belgium's neutrality and Great Britain narrowly elects to stay...

  2. Dios es Español

    Dios es Español is an expression dating back to the Mid-19th Century. The usage of the phrase "God is Spanish" on the surface suggests an expression of awe for the dominance of the Spanish State, and indeed reclamation efforts have gone some length to shift to this usage. But its origins come...

  3. No Britain in WWI: Consequence on India

    I have a question. Assuming some POD that ends up resulting in Britain choosing to not entangle itself in the Great War, or even if the Great War as traditionally viewed never happens. The common response is that this prolongs the British Empire for several decades. I wonder what the...

  4. Korea under Japan for a lot longer

    Hypothetically. Japan annexes Korea as OTL, and maintains a militaristic and racist oligarchic Government and Constitution. But. Japan, for whatever reason or POD, doesn't end up in a full on war with China, and either there's no WWII or is no Japanese involvement such that there is no...

  5. Edward I England takes over Scotland?

    Question. Could it have been possible for Edward I of England to take control of Scotland completely, in the same sense that they did in Wales? And if so, what would be the long term consequence of this?

  6. Hadrian attempts to hold Trajan's East?

    I have a technical question. Assume for the moment that Hadrian unilaterally decides to hold onto Armenia and Mesopotamia as Roman provinces. Screw the costs in terms of blood and treasure. I know that this goes against Hadrian's Character. I am asking, hypothetically, could Rome hold onto...

  7. People and their Decisions

    People and their Decisions Standing on the Deck of the SS Haimun a man stares across the ocean to the Chinese coast. The Russians know he’s sending wireless messages to his superiors. But a spy he’s not. He’s actually a reporter, a war correspondent for The Times. He loved his job too...

  8. The Occupation of France

    I'm looking for a feasibility check. Is this outline of what a defeated France looks like plausible? And is the scenario for how they were so thoroughly defeated plausible? --- The Occupation of France The nation of France to the far West of Europe is a definite abnormality from the German...

  9. Hypothetical united Iberia in North Africa

    So, after the rule of the Catholic Monarchs there are a couple of very likely POD's that see the unification of Iberia (Spain) under a the Portuguese King. This is not a new WI for the site, for example the excellent Prince of Peace, but I have a question. If we assume this timeline is somewhat...

  10. God's Own County 1931

    Here's a blank, editable map of Yorkshire's internal subdivisions in 1931. I hope some of you find it useful/interesting! Kvasir

  11. Independent Poland with a Central Powers WWI Victory

    Let me sketch you out a scenario. Germany on the Western Front is able to defeat France after about 5 years of brutal trench warfare which cripples both countries. In the East, a Brest-Litovsk happens and we see an Independent Baltic, Poland and Ukraine. The boundaries of Poland are same as...

  12. A Neutral Britain in World War I

    Let me propose to you a scenario. It's the start of the Twentieth Century and Britain fights the Second Boer War, which goes slightly better (insert previous POD which isn't important ATM). As a consequence Britiain's confidence in her own ability isn't quite as strongly shattered- and...

  13. Isolated British Isles

    I was thinking earlier on today about the History of Britain and the movement of peoples into and out of the islands over time: Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans etc. Right up to the modern day. I like living in a multicultural, Cosmopolitian Nation but I was wondering if it had to...

  14. Map Challenge: The Four Kingdoms of the British Isles

    OK, so after centuries of movement the British Isles are united and the boundaries shown below are the ones which stick. The King of Ireland is always referred to as High King while both Wales and Scotland are just ordinary Kingdoms. The Isle of Mann is a territory outside of the Four Kingdoms...

  15. WI: Britain is not invaded by the Romans?

    What kind of Rome, and what kind of Britain, would we see if the British Isles weren't invaded. What I'm suggesting is Julius Caesar (for whatever reason) chooses not to explore the Islands, get involved with the internal politics of the island and set up client states. Instead the...

  16. America loses the Spanish-American War

    Under a scenario where Spain gets its act together in the 19th Century with respect to Cuba and Puerto Rico; such that they are more stable, with more rights and better integrated within Spain, what would happen if America went to war with Spain and lost? I'm thinking America is on the rise...

  17. Classic 1066 POD

    I imagine this is such an obvious POD that it must have been discussed numerous times on this site. So I have a question. Assuming that the POD is simply that Harold Godwinson wins and his brothers Gyrth and Leofwine survive while William and possibly Eustace of Boulogne die, what happens...

  18. A Parliamentarian British Isles?

    With a POD either just before, during or right after the Civil War, can you imagine a potential timeline where the HoC is able to create a stable framework of Government in a Republic that doesn't require a strong man dictator (eg Cromwell) taking over? This is before the concept of Prime...

  19. An Al Gore victory TL: questions

    One of the simplest modern day timelines to imagine happing is a Gore wins the 2000 election timeline. Indeed it has being thought over and a general patten is normally considered. But specifics are harder. I wonder. If Al gore had won, what would the new Cabinet have looked like after...

  20. AH Challenge: Antonine Wall is maintiained as the Northern Border

    How can the Romans maintain control of Southern Scotland below the Antonine Wall right up until the evacuation of the Island of Great Britain?
