  1. Challenge: Have the modern afro hairstyle not only become popular prior to the 60s but also be popular in Europe.

    Ancient Rome?

  2. A Map Shitpost Thread

    Following the 1899 establishment of the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium of Sudan, ASBs make Britain end up in successive wars with every country in Africa as defined by Wikipedia and then transfer the gains to new Anglo-Egyptian Condominiums.

  3. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    It's an interesting question: "During the later decades of the fourteenth century English started to come back into official use. The Pleading in English Act 1362 sought to replace French with English for all pleas in courts. The Mercers' Petition to Parliament of 1386 is the oldest piece of...

  4. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    The 1359 Treaty of London would've ceded the Angevin Empire lands to England and, unlike during the Angevin era, would have fully removed the area from French sovereignty. It was signed by then-captive King John II of France but repudiated by the Estates General. Truly an epic France-Screw.

  5. Alternate Name for Florida

    As a Floridian, I wouldn't be opposed to Mosquito Coast. Peninsulas!: New Cornwall, Nieuw-Holland, Nouvelle Bretagne.

  6. Alternate Name for Florida

    Maybe switch up the less specific OTL Spanish placenames and go with any of Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, among others.

  7. Alternate Name for Florida

    I'm contemplating an England Hires Columbus timeline in which it is named "Flora", that being tastefully Latin and having a similar meaning. I've seen "Pascua" suggested, naming it for the discovery date on Easter.

  8. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    I love the message for 1956 if you get 0 electoral votes as Stevenson.

  9. 1359 Treaty of London / "Edward III restores the Angevin Empire"

    (not sure if ASB...) "The Treaty of London (also known as the Second Treaty of London) was proposed by England, accepted by France, and signed in 1359. After Edward the Black Prince soundly defeated the French at Poitiers (during the Hundred Years' War), where they captured John II of France...

  10. The size of BNA without the ARW

    I think it's plausible for BNA to about as large as the USA could plausibly have been, which IMO is Canada plus Sam Houston's OTL proposal during the Mexican-American War, plus maybe the canal-able land in Panama or Nicaragua if people have began making noises about that. I think All-Mexico will...

  11. What are some of the most surprisingly great locations for a civilization that didn't live up to it's potential?

    To be fair, the Fertile Crescent region went through the same cycles of unity and splintering.

  12. AHC Germanic unification in roman times

    A Germanic tribe centered in the North European Plain breed very strong, fast, cold weather-suited horses that become commonplace in the region. Some generations later, a Genghis Khan analogue emerges. (Or maybe they already had horses like that, IDK)

  13. AHC: Make this "most popular fast food chain" map a *political* map

    I like that this managed to sort of overlap with the Mormans in them thar hills premise.

  14. Create a Alternate ruler with the suffix 'The great'

    Edward III of England is luckier and enforces his original peace terms before the Treaty of Bretigny, regaining the entirety of the Angevin "Empire" lands. Then, like Richard I, he dies at some point before the kind-of-hopeless task of keeping it all together can really fall upon him.

  15. Was American Nicaragua via filibuster ever plausible?

    I guess a core part of the question is how likely are Pierce, Buchanan, Polk, Tyler, or a TTL expansionist President to get annexation through Congress after a Nicaraguan government requests annexation as a slave state, assuming said President absolutely wants to? Does it only require a large...

  16. Was American Nicaragua via filibuster ever plausible?

    I guess we have some precedent regarding proposed 19th-century American overseas territory in Central America: "...the Yucatecan delegation in Washington made a formal offer for the annexation of Yucatán to the United States...President James Knox Polk was pleased with the idea and the "Yucatán...

  17. Was American Nicaragua via filibuster ever plausible?

    There have been a few threads about Walker, but I'm especially curious on the plausibility of this from the political/cultural angle. If, circa 1845-1860, William Walker or an equivalent manages to securely take control of Nicaragua and request annexation as a slave state, how likely is that to...

  18. What are some historical pet peeves you have

    A more minor peeve: the US always seems to get the Guadeloupe-Hidalgo border even though a significantly smaller cession is entirely plausible, as is (to a lesser extent) an even larger one.

  19. AHC: Make Bush Sr. lose the 1988 Election

    I'm in the camp that "peace and prosperity" made this unlikely. But I think there's a small chance if a decent-to-good campaigner is nominated and has a premonition that Michigan will be the tipping-point state, and therefore picks either of Senators Don Riegle or Carl Levine (if the nominee is...

  20. Which Democrat could have been successful during the 1977 - 1985 Period?

    IMO if the Democrat in question can overcome the probable late '70s-early '80s recession period, their VP is likely to win 1984 and 1988 since that is a probable growth period. I suspect beginning a 16-year winning streak would make any president seem at least somewhat successful, if not to a...
