  1. AHC: Allegiance Changes in WW1

    This challenge is essentially what it says in the title; how could there be an 'allegiance' change during the course of WW1? To my knowledge, during the Great War no governments on either side of conflict had decided to switch their allegiance to the enemy's alliance after having already joined...

  2. Washington 'bans' political parties

    As has been noted many times in the past, several of the founding fathers didn't have too many good words to say about political parties, the chief among these being George Washington himself who said that they "must be restrained in a popularly elected government because of their tendency to...

  3. Declawed: A Modern History of Australian Football

    Melbourne - September 3, 2006 Mark Thompson threw his hands in the air as the final siren rang out around the Telstra Dome, the low pitched blaring of the horn emanating throughout the ground signalling an end to Geelong's season. Taking to his feet from the coaching bench, he looked out into...

  4. Mincemeat not swallowed?

    What would happen if in 1943, just prior to the Husky landings, Operation Mincemeat wasn't 'swallowed' by the Germans? Would this actually have had much of an impact on the landings at all (would the Allies, if they caught onto the fact that Germany didn't buy the deception, call off the...

  5. Shadows of Vinegar Hill

    Shadows of Vinegar Hill Another Australian Timeline Well, here it is, the timeline that was promised; this is going to be my lucky thirteenth timeline in as little as two years one the site, and in a change of direction the updates aren't going to be as excessively long or rambling as some of...

  6. Early Cotton Gin?

    I know there have been a number of "later cotton gin" and "no cotton gin" threads on the site, and a usual conclusion reached in those threads are that a later cotton gin (delayed by decades) would have adverse affects on the slave states, with places like Maryland, Delaware (and possibly...

  7. A British Revolution?

    What would happen if there was some form of British (republican) uprising occurring some time following the Napoleonic wars (or towards the end of them if you so wish) all the way to the 1830's? Obviously, I'm not much of a genius in this period of history, however to my understanding Britain...

  8. DBWI: Jesus?

    Well, I've been recently looking up a number of ancients religions lately, and in doing so, I came across this book detailing a strange case from a period during the rule of Tiberius. Apparently, there was this Jewish teacher (the book named him Jesus) preaching around the Levant, garnering...

  9. USSR vs Russia

    With a POD occurring during the Gorbachev administration, how would a modern Soviet Union stack up against modern Russia. In terms of political freedom, freedom of speech, military power, safety and economic freedom, would a surviving USSR be "better" than today's Russia in these categories?

  10. Evolution of Popular Culture with no Internet

    Where would popular culture be right now if there was no internet, or if there was no public network, and what would be the state of the music, television, film and gaming industry's?

  11. The Romans Abide

    THE ROMANS ABIDE By RichMill The date was January 24, 41 AD, during the very beginnings of the illustrious Roman Empire’s decline, and atop Rome’s highest hill, the Palatine, citizens of the great nation beared witness to one of the most devastating and darkest moments in the cities history...

  12. Let There Be Rock: A Rock Althistory

    With ideas from my timeline originating on althistory wiki. Chapter 1 - Earliest Years of a New Era Apart from its earliest years, the history of rock and metal reached its most climactic during the late 80's and early 90's. Glam/hair metal, as well as the European New Wave movement, resulted...

  13. Unser Kampf

    Foward: I seriously hate writing timelines sometimes; it wastes time, take forever, and often ends with giving up. Then again, sometimes timeline writing can be fulfilling after an incredibly boring day. For me, I would really like to one day actually finish something I start, and that's what I...

  14. A Walk in the Valley of Death

    A Walk in the Valley of Death It was May 14, 1942; and the war had screeched to a halt in Europe. Across hundreds of Kilometres, fought between millions of men, Germany and Russia were engaged in a titanic struggle for the life of its nation, or the death of its people. Caught in-between...

  15. What could of been done to improve Andrew Johnson's legacy?

    While searching not only this thread, but also a number of sites for information on Andrew Johnson, I came to the realization that people don't like him that much :rolleyes:. That being said, it is often saddening to see all but one thread on this site dedicated to Johnson's hanging...

  16. What if Al-Qaeda doesn't admit to 9/11?

    Because I lack absolute knowledge of history immediately after 9/11, please excuse me if this sound ridiculous; what if, following the 9/11 attacks, Al-Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden never come out in response to the attacks, and never admit they perpetrated them? Would the government eventually find...

  17. Alternatives to Grunge

    Everybody on this forum probably knows (if their over the age of 10) what grunge is, and the swift rise of bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains during the early 1990's after the fall of Hair Metal. However, what other sub-genres could of taken over the rock/metal scene in 1990/1991...

  18. Christianity as a sect of Judaism

    Here is a simple question, perhaps not simple to answer but give it a shot; what if Christianity did not split with Judaism in the first and second centuries, and remained essentially a sect of the religion? Could keeping the two beliefs together be possible, and if so, what would be the...

  19. Alternate forms of Discrimination

    Ok,so I know there have been "Discrimination based on eye colour" threads in the past, but I wanted to expand upon that theory. It seems that human nature tends to see a certain group of humans place themselves another, such as the historic example of skin colour. However, what other forms of...

  20. The 1860 election goes to the house - Who Wins?

    The 1860 U.S presidential election is pretty well known for, you know, being the election that elected Abraham Lincoln. The election, held between 4 major candidates, mainly those sprouting from the split between the Democrats, was won by Lincoln with 180 electoral votes, 28 above the needed...
