  1. Map project: alternate medieval Great Britain

    Hi! I was thinking of starting a new map project: creating an alternate, Holy Roman Empire-esque Great Britain, full of kingdoms, Viking fiefdoms, small tribal kingdoms, earldoms, mormaerdoms and perhaps even feudal duchies, principalities etc. Thus, Anglo-Saxon is not to be unfied by...

  2. Double AHC: surviving, strong Aragon; and stronger republics of Venice and Genoa

    See the map below. Your challenge is - should you choose to accept it - to think of a backstory, a timeline, points of divergence from actual history etc. so that (1) Aragon never unites with the rest of Spain (whether under Castilian supremacy or another kingdom's), becomes the main power in...

  3. What if the Spanish lost the Rif War?

    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rif_War. So what if the Spanish were defeated? What if the French didn't come and help? What would the consequences be? How about the Spanish Civil War, would it start sooner? How about the Germans (usually involved in Moroccan issues in the twentieth century...

  4. What if the Ottoman Empire wins Great Turkish War?

  5. What if Lenin dies in an accident in 1914?

    What if Lenin dies in a train accident travelling to Switzerland? What will the consequences be for World War I and the Russian Revolution? Can the October Revolution be butterflied away? Is it possible that a different revolution starts? Perhaps even as early as 1915, after which the Whites...

  6. Collaborative Map Challenge: Federation of Israel-Palestine

    So, today I was thinking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, after some comments on my first map on the map thread, I made this version: However, I quickly realised this would never work out well, so I started thinking about a one-state solution... After some discussion on the map...

  9. Could the Congo Crisis (1960-65) have led to World War III?

    Is there any possibility the crisis could have become a world war? If not, what's the worst it could have got, under certain circumstances? A Korea-like war? Or only a more disastrous, more bloody conflict within the borders of Congo, with limited foreign involvement? (Bonus points if Katanga...

    What if? What if the Battle of Vienna had been succesful?

  11. Challenge: Make a TL for this map

    Hi, So, I made the map below and figured it would be a nice idea to create the challenge for you guys to think of a backstory for the scenario. The earliest POD must be post-1760 (unless that really is impossible; however, the later the better). You are allowed to make small changes to the...

  12. AHC: Postpone World War I until the 1920s and...

    Okay, here's a challenge: write a (plausible) small 'timeline' in which World War I is averted. Start with your POD, which should be post-1900, and end in the 1950s. There are the following requirements: - The war must start over a territorial conflict in Europe, such as the Sudeten Crisis, the...

  13. AHC/WI - Second Great War starts over the Sudetencrisis, but Hitler dies

    I had the following mini-TL in mind. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to think of conditions that would make this possible, and explore the consquences. :) --- January 1938 - Unlike in our timeline, Germany's first priority is not Sudetenland, but the Memel Region...

  14. AHC/WI: Different post-WWII Poland and Germany

    What if the allies had agreed upon the below? You can fill in yourselves what the zones of influence will be and if there are any occupation zones. And how could this be an option? The POD must be post-1940.

  16. WI: a set of 19th century PODs

    What would be the consequences of the following PODs (not all of them are PODs, it's more of a TL-outline) happening in one single ATL? (By the way, feel free to discuss the plausibility of the PODs too, but please focus on consequences. Also, see if there are important butterflies I missed...

  17. AHC: Portuguese-Venetian Union

    Would a union between Portugal and the Venetian Republic be possible at all? Think of a plausible timeline! Bonus points if the union also has Sardinia and Corsica, and Tyrol.

    How could the April Uprising in Bulgaria have caused a global war?

  19. AHC: Belgian Solomon Islands

    This is a piece of history I read about the islands: So what if for some reason the Belgians would be first to land on the islands? Or think of another reason to make them Belgian. What would happen? How would the islands be administered? Would Belgium be able to keep hold of them? What...
