  1. A Few Acres of Snow: A Map and Graphic Timeline
    Threadmarks: Introduction

    A Few Acres of Snow What if New France became a great power? Hello all! Some of you may have followed my previous timeline Another America, and those of you who did may have noticed that it's been inactive for quite some time. The reason for that is that I changed and retconned it so many...

  2. "Meiji" Shogunate Japan?

    What I mean by this oxymoron is: if the shogunate forces had won the Boshin War, or if the Boshin War and Meiji Restoration had never happened, would it still be possible for Japan as a shogunate to modernize and become a great power as it did in OTL? And if so, how might its politics, economy...

  3. Another America: A Map and Graphic Setting
    Threadmarks: Intro

    Yes, it's another thread of maps and graphics in an AH setting based around North America! I've been making maps and flags and heraldry in this setting for quite some time so I figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon and make a thread, which will hopefully also inspire me to keep making...

  4. WI: Biden runs against Hillary?

    What if Biden had decided to run in the 2016 Democratic primaries? What demographics and/or regions would have supported him or Hillary, and which candidate would win? I'm assuming that if Biden entered, he would suck up all the oxygen from Bernie who wouldn't have nearly as much appeal as the...

  5. We Happy Few

    We Happy Few is an upcoming survival horror video game set in the dystopian retrofuturistic alternate 1964 British town of Wellington Wells. Apparently in the game world's history, England was invaded by Nazi Germany during World War II (yes, the forbidden marine mammal, I know) and during the...

  6. Whither the Hypsistarians?

    Information on them is a little scarce, but the Hypsistarians appear to have been a Jewish-influenced monotheistic sect in Asia Minor from the second century BC to fourth century AD, worshipping the Hypsistos ("most high god", possibly a merger between Zeus Sabazios and Yahweh Sabaoth). They...

  7. AHC/WI: US supports Suez action

    What would it take to get the United States to support (diplomatically) Anglo-French and/or Israeli military intervention against Nasser's Egypt in the Suez Crisis, and what would be the effects if it did?

  8. WI: No Christianity

    Jesus is never born and no successful Jewish messiah figure ever emerges. How will the world's religious landscape evolve? What are the political effects down the road on the Roman Empire et al?

  9. WI: Wilhelm II abdicates after Daily Telegraph affair

    In 1908, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany gave an interview to the Daily Telegraph full of outbursts and outlandish statements that offended everyone in Europe. There were serious calls in Germany for him to abdicate, and while that didn't happen he did lose most of his prestige and power after the...

  10. 80 Days

    Th excellent narrative game 80 Days just came out on Steam for PC, and it's definitely something that should interest people here. As the name suggests it's a take on Around the World in 80 Days; the player, as Passepartout, helps Phileas Fogg circumnavigate an alternate steampunk world. The...

  11. AHC: Brazilian music as dominant as American music

    Is there any way to make Brazilian music (in terms of musical styles and/or artists) as dominant, popular, influential, etc. worldwide as American music is OTL? Or at least as popular as you can manage to get it? This forum seemed like the best place to put this but the PoD can be before 1900 if...

  12. AHC: Independent Spanish Florida

    Your challenge is to have an independent state in Florida (not necessarily all of it, and using the colonial definition of Florida that includes parts of other OTL states), with Spanish as its main language, with a PoD between 1565 and 1821.

  13. AHC/PC: Jewish state in Grodno Governorate?

    I'm of a mind, totally unrelated to any opinions that I may or may not have about Israel, Zionism, etc., that a possible place for a Jewish state other than Israel could be the Grodno Governorate of the Russian Empire, or the Bialystok-Grodno District of Gemany's Ober-Ost. In addition to having...

  14. AHC/WI: Pre-European population of Mascarenes

    Is there any way to get a permanent settled population on Mauritius and Reunion before Europeans? Could they be settled by Austronesians at around the same time as Madagascar, from Indonesia or from refugees from Madagascar pushed out by migration? Or would it be a better bet to wait until later...

  15. AHC/WI: White Russia, Red Germany

    Is there any way to change the German and Russian Revolutions (and/or Russian Civil War) so that Germany is ruled by communists or socialists while Russia is ruled by the Whites or some other far-right faction? And if so, what are the effects?

  16. AHC: Lafayette as national founder

    This is a long shot, but I find the idea irresistibly cool, so is there any way for the Marquis de Lafayette to become the national founding father of a country in the Americas, in the same vein as George Washington or Simon Bolivar OTL? Bonus points if that country is French-speaking.

  17. AHC: Germany with Austria, without Prussia

    Your challenge, with a PoD between 1648 and 1871, is to create a united German state that includes Austria but not Prussia, in the same way that OTL Germany includes Prussia but not Austria (not in the sense of physical borders but in the sense of the political entity having been incorporated...

  18. WI: Einstein as President of Israel?

    When President of Israel Chaim Weizmann died in 1952, David Ben-Gurion offered his position to Weizmann's fellow Jewish, pro-Zionist scientist Albert Einstein. Einstein declined, but said that he was "'deeply moved', and 'at once saddened and ashamed' that he could not accept it." What if he had...

  19. AHC: Better Haitian Revolution?

    Is there any way to change the Haitian Revolution so that things end up better for Haiti than they did in the Haiti-screw known as OTL? And if so, what's the best way to do it?

  20. WI: Vinland introduces Old World diseases to New World

    Most discussions about Vinland-related PoDs seem to center around Vinland itself and its effects on Europe, moreso than its effects on the Americans, so I'm wondering: what if through contact with the Norse in Vinland (which would presumably need to be at least a little more robust in this...
