  1. AHC: Nile-Congo-Malawi Canal system

    The Nile, Congo, and Zambezi (through Lake Malawi) all drain different parts of the East African Rift Valley. If these waterways could be made navigable, they could connect the Rift Valley to the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans respectively. The challenge, if you choose to accept...

  2. AHC: Germany United by ........ Switerland

    We've had a lot of "AHC: the Netherlands unify Germany" threads over the years. I'm thinking now of the other West Germanic nation which is about equally as "German" as the Netherlands: Switzerland. Is there any way they could have become the dominant player in a German Confederation and somehow...

  3. What Should I do with Donnacona's Dream

    So, my TL: Donnacona's Dream has been getting bogged down a little bit lately with perhaps more detail than is necessary outside of the TL's real focus in North America. Due to some comments I have gotten from readers recently, I'm wondering whether it's time to reboot it.

  4. WI: Optical Telegraph in 1684

    Ok, through a quick browse on wikipedia, I noticed that Robert Hooke proposed an optical telegraph line to the Royal Society in 1684. It was turned down, but what if it had been adopted? Would the British have had any use for it? I guess really my real question is how early would optical...

  5. War-less States

    Ok, so I've just finished reading Ursula K. LeGuin's The Left Hand of Darkness, and the novel featured a planet in which had reached a 20th-century level of technological and social development, however, war was a foreign concept on this world. This doesn't meant that there wasn't conflict...

  6. AHC: Navarrese Colonies

    Can anyone come up with a situation in which the Kingdom of Navarre could have it's OWN colonies in the New World?? Restrictions: 1) POD after 1400. Bonus points for a POD after 1500. EXTRA bonus points for a POD after 1589. 2) Navarre must be independent: can't be in Personal Union with...

  7. Donnacona's Dream

    This thread will contain my new TL: Donnacona's Dream. This timeline is an attempt to wank the St. Lawrence Iroquoians: the people who Jacques Cartier encountered in the St. Lawrence Valley in the 16th century. IOTL, these people had disappeared by the time of Champlain 70 years later, and those...

  8. Hochelaga-wank: plausibility check

    So, I'm working out ideas for a new timeline to do, and as much of my interest is centred around the history of what is now Eastern Canada in the age of exploration and early colonial period, I'm thinking of what would have happened if the St. Lawrence Iroquoians had survived and prospered as...

  9. Fiontir 101 - a History of the New World

    This is a reworking of a TL that I've already put a lot of work into in the thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=271574 I'm realizing that working out a lot of the 15th-century precursors to what I see as the "really interesting" parts of this TL in the...

  10. WI: Burgundian Netherlands stays united

    I've been having discussions in a number of other threads about the Dutch revolt, and the subsequent division of the Netherlands between the Dutch Republic and the Spanish/Austrian Netherlands (which ended up becoming Belgium basically). I'm thinking what if the Burgundian Netherlands was...

  11. Fiontir - Country of Liberty: an Irish TL

    This is not the first thread about this TL. I started one earlier, only to realize that the title I had chosen was pretty pathetic. Thus, I've retitled it, and removed the brief outline at the beginning so that there will be no spoilers :D (and also because I've changed many names and dates from...

  12. An Idea for an Irish American Republic TL

    So, after reading many wonderful TLs on this forum, I have decided I want to try out an idea of my own. The main idea: What would be the consequences of a mass exodus of Irish to the New World during the Tudor conquest of Ireland? In ome sense this TL will be a bit of an Irish-wank as I'm...
