  1. May Day 2011. A speculative TL

    XI Corps HQ, Peshawar Cantt. 20:35 hrs, May 1st 2011. He was pissed off. Of that, anyone could tell. Or they would have if they had been around. In the event, there were only two other men present; both contractors who were doubtless being paid extra. No such amenities or bonuses would go his...
  2. WI: Large number of foreign troops go to Iraq post 2003 invasion

    In OTL the Bush administration had some success in convincing some countries to pledge troops to post War Iraq. When it turned out that it was the shitshow it was everybody backed out. Still, India had alerted one of its divisions that it might have to deploy and Pakistan military formations...
  3. DBWI: The US Presidency remains powerful

    Unlike the basically ceremonial office it is today, until the late 19th century the US Presidency was both the Chief Executive and Head of Government. Until US Grant's term. Sam Tilden OTH and his successors seemed content to let the legislature make the policy, which led to the situation as...
  4. WI Netherlands win the 2010 WC final?

    Lets say Robben drills either of his chances in normal time, how would it affect football going forward? Would Tikki Taka die a death 4 years early? If it has been found out in the grandest stage of all? OTL, the Dutch tactics in Johannesberg are basically what was the counter to tokki taka...
  5. DBWI: The Deutsches Pazifisches Korps does not get formed

    I mean when the DPK got sent to the Pacific to assist the Japanese in 1942 it was on the back of several Axis victories in Egypt and at Midway, which made the transport possible. But I think despite the ass-kicking they administered to the Australians/Americans in New Ginea, I doubt Kesselring...
  6. British establish Aircraft Manufacturing centers in Sub-Continent

    In OTL the current state owned Hindustan Aviation Limited was founded as an assembly and overhaul location during the war. A second facility was established outside Peshawar AirBase, this later became Pakistan Aeronauntical Complex, which which manufactures Jet fighters. Lets say the UK decides...
  7. Royal Navy/RAF mauls IJN fleet during Indian Ocean raid

    How about a OTL Midway style victory for the RN. 4 plus carriers sunk.Obviously butterflies Coral Sea and Midway, but what will the 1942-1943 strategy be for the US and UK. OTL it was hold, beat back, and advance slowly. In this case, with the IJN offensive striking power curtailed much sooner...
  8. DBWI: Brady stays in NE.

    As we know TB12 is considered by all as the GOAT QB. Especially the 49ners faithful, the 6 SB rings he has brought them (more than Montana and Young combined). Of course, while the 49ners seem to have a knack for an assembly line of great QBs, they actually missed Brady, he was drafted by and...
  9. DBWI: Hillary Rodham is not nominated to the SCOTUS by Clinton

    As we know, US Courts of Appeals Judge, Ms. Rodham was nominated for the seat vacated by Mr. Justice White in 1993, by Bill Clinton. Justice Rodham has gone on to be the deciding vote in many cases, for instance upholding homosexuality ban in Lawrance v White and the Governments broad detention...
  10. If China is kept out of W.T.O in 2001?

    What happens if the Chinese are kept out in 2001. Their accession was problematic and had many opponents, ostensibly on "human rights" issues, but we know truly since China was already in 2001 a USD 5 Trillion economy and therefore too big to mess with. If the US had managed to get its way, how...
  11. Nuclear Weapons in a United India

    Lets say the Indian Federation of 1935 Government of India Acts comes to fruition post War and by the later part of the forties there is a representative responsible Government at the Center. The statute of Westminister applies, but as part of the negotiations, its agreed that some British...
  12. 49ner's pick Brady

    They needed a new QB in 2000, unlike the Patriots and the Colts (the other team to look at Brady closely IOTL). Not much of a Football fan, but would it change football much?
  13. WI Israel attacks Syria in 2006

    During the Lebanon War the more hawkish elements in Washington wanted Tel Aviv to expand the conflict to include Syria, George W Bush mentions in bus memoirs thats the decision not to do so was wrong. What would happen if the Israeli do so. It's now a war against a nation state and while...
  14. What if Herculius had moved the capital to Carthage

    Herculius briefly and seriously considered moving to Carthage. How would history change if he had done so, especially in light of the coming invasion of the Arabs. Carthage hung on for nearly 60 years so if the capital was there the Romans had the ability to resist. But would it say have the...
  15. SCOTUS sits in panels

    What would happen if instead of the current and historical practice of having the entire Court sit, the decided that appeals would be heard by a bench of three or five Justices. Historically, in the early 20th Century the SCOTUS adopted several English practices from the House of Lords...
  16. Ideas for a TL, where Bhutto's appeal is allowed

    Historically, Bhutto's Appeal was dismissed by a 4-3 margin and he was duly hanged. One of the reasons that Zia did not really interfere with the process is that he had been advised that the evidence was enough to send him down anyway. And the advise was correct, at Trial. It was on appeal...
  17. Tony Blair dies suddenly in 2003

    Historically, he had some heart trouble at this time and it showed, he began to look his age for about the first time ever. What if they were worse and he died. What if, his arrhythmia led to sudden death, as they sometimes do. How would his affect British politics. Brown becomes PM four...
  18. Who else besides James VI could be selected to succeed Elzabeth

    OTL James VI got the throne because of a "who else" attitude from the English Privy Council. Now if they follow Margaret Tudor's marriage treaty fully and exclude James VI; who would they give it too.
  19. What would be the effects if all Ireland remained in the United Kingdom

    With or without Home Rule, what would the effects be. Well Dublin* and Cork get bombed in WWII, heavily. The Irish ports are quite useful to the war effort. Ireland is not isolated for a generation after the War. Anglo-US relations still have Ireland as a sticking point. Irish Parliamentry seats...
  20. Have the Mughal Empire Exist today

    Your challenge is to have a continuing MUghal Empire today. AN unbroken line from Babur till today preferable, a constitutional monarchy desirable. My take Aurangzeb spends less time in various wars against the Persians, the South, Tibet, Burma etc and concentrates on consolidating his rule...
