  1. WI:Russia as a Candian Province

    As it says on the tin, how could the entire Russian Empire become a province of Canada? Bonus points if you can somehow justify keeping the Tsar around, and a cookie of your choice if this can be accomplished without ASB intervention. Go at it!;) (Note:this does include the scenario of making...

  3. AHC:Brtiain sells its American Colonies to Spain

    So what would it take for Britain (or perhaps when it was still just the English Empire) to sell its mainland North American colonies to the Spanish Empire? Also what would be the latest for Spain to be able to actually hold them. By the time the French and Indian War/Seven Years War came...

  7. Children of the Sun

    Yeah here's a new TL. I told some members about it already, and where the original inspiration came from, even though the idea has taken on considerable more realism of course (and even in that case, DO NOT spoil it for those who don't know about that crazy dream! ;):p). Anyways, it is in a...

  9. Maratha States

    Does anyone know what the major states that made up the Maratha Confederacy, and better yet, a map of such?

  10. Wooden Guns

    Is it possible for really crappy muskets (arquebus might be a better comparison) to be made with wood? I know the Chinese did it with bamboo, and was wondering if something similar could be made with other types of wood? *Note: I know about wooden cannons too.

  11. Caliph=Islamic Pope

    Is it possible for the Caliph to become a position like the Pope, and if so, what are some possible PODs for this occur?

  12. 18th century warfare in Central Asia

    As it says on the tin, what was warfare like with the steppe people? Did they still have mounted archers or use carbines more? Until repeaters were developed, I've read that archery was still effective, as seen by the Native American plains tribes. And was the Jezail musket used before the...

  13. Silk Road Help

    Need some help deciding on some big trade items that would float along the Silk Road (or Neo-Silk Road might be the case:confused:), since it becomes important to trade once again due to my POD. Specifically from China to India, and to the Middle East and onto Europe in the late 18th century.

  14. Pict Survival

    Is it possible to keep Pict culture, identity, and language around? Of course, they would go through all the general cultural evolutions of Europe, and adapt Christianity, but could they have survived to the the modern day? (And I know they didn't call themselves Picts, but just so everyone...

  15. WI: William or Harry marry a black girl

    So what if one of the British princes ended up dating and possibly wanting to marry a black girl? Let's assume this hypothetical female is a British citizen and comes from a well to do family. I'm sure the media and certain segments of British society, and the world, would make a big deal out...

  16. Personal Armor in 19th Century Warfare

    Is there any way to have personal armor developed to be at least worth the investment during the 1800s? I've read about iron vests during the ACW, but they never caught on due to weight, varied results, and views of cowardice by the majority of soldiers who didn't use them. At least in regards...

  17. AH.com's TL-191

    This is a discussed collaborative TL about a divergence from the perspective of an ATL. In this case, what if Lee's Special Order 191 was captured by the Union. A simple answer is OTL would occur, but again this is from the perspective of someone from Turtledove's TL-191 pondering on what...

  18. Constantinople Survives

    WI: Constantinople Survives What if somehow the Constantinople could linger on as a city state? How far back would the POD be for something like this to occur? How do you think this would effect Greek Orthodoxy, and even a Greece - assuming of course some independence struggle still occurs...

  19. BOOM!

    BOOM! October 26th, 1605 Lord William Parker rode through the night shrouded and narrow dirt streets of London, flattened and churned by constant travel, barely parting the hedge of wooden structures that arose around the baron. He was quite troubled by the letter read to him at supper, an...

  20. Music & Youth/Pop Culture in a "No-9/11 World"

    I originally brought up how would music change, as a part of pop culture being effected by no 9/11 (and assuming no other terrorist attack occurs). Since it turned into a circle jerk debate about if Bush would have been re-elected or not, I was hoping to strike up some conversation about this...
