  1. Great Men of History

    Sometimes in history, it seems like there are people so blessed by their respective god(s) with talent and resources it's funny. Alexander and Temujin are the prime examples. Now, I have two lines of inquiry. One, are these great men (and at least one woman) really responsible for their success...

  2. AHC/WI: Tripolar Germany

    How would you get a third great power, other than the Netherlands, Austria and Prussia being the first two, in 18th & 19th century Germany, and what might the effects be? Could a Bavarian-Wittelsbach union be powerful enough for this?

  3. AHC: Smallest 'Unified' Germany

    What is the smallest plausible Germany that can legitimately call itself a unified, complete Germany? Largest?

  4. AHC: Batavian Republic of the East Indies

    How might you create a state which is a true democratic republic (doesn't have to be an especially good one), controls the majority of the former Dutch East Indies, and retains strong ties to Amsterdam? POD after 1700

  5. AHC: Split China

    How can you make it so that, with a POD between 1400 and 1900, China is split into two culturally separate nation-states, of comparable size and/or power, to modern day, and with little desire to reunify?

  6. AHC: Punic Cold War

    Ok, so I'm not actually trying to get a cold war. What I want to see is a relationship between Rome and Carthage like that between Britain and France; rivals, constantly going to war, competing to be most powerful and for their colonies, but never destroying one another and perhaps ultimately...

  7. Why were the mongols so successful?

    As it says, why was it that the mongols went from a backwater collection of disunified tribes to the premier military power of the world and uncontested hegemon of Asia? What might have been some other courses for the mongols after unification, and what other possible 'barbarian' mega-empires...

  8. WI: Classical Heavy Plow

    What if the heavy/moldboard plow and horse collar were invented much earlier, BC 100-0? Were there any technical limitations making this impossible?

  9. Naming Conventions without Christianity

    As an offshoot of the 'world with no Christianity' thread, what might be common names in different regions of Europe without Christianity?

  10. AHC: Zoroastrianism w/o nerfing Islam

    How would you have Zoroastrianism survive until modern times at or above about 5% of the world's population, while not making Islam smaller than Zoroastrianism, or making any serious dents in the other 3 major religions?

  11. AHC/WI: Less Racist USA

    How would you make the (esp. early) 19th century U.S. less racist, at least against Latinos and Chinese, and what would be the result?

  12. WI: United Netherland Republic

    It seems odd that most United Netherlands threads focus on the 19th century chance. What if the Spanish, in the dutch revolution of the 16th and 17th century, had never retaken the southern Netherlands, or they had been expelled? What would be the effects of the resultant united Netherlands, or...

  13. AHC/WI: Unified Netherlands

    How would you make Belgium not go back to the Spanish Hapsburgs in the Dutch Revolt? What would be the results of the subsequent unity?

  14. AHC: Danish Domination

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to make Denmark very powerful/dominant in northern Europe by 1300. Parameters: 1: A union in which Denmark is an equal member is acceptable 2: They must have at least 5 regions outside of Denmark, Scania, &Schleswig-Holstein- Finland...
