  1. WI: Voznesensky and Kuznetsov Survive?

  2. WI: Mussolini Stays A Socialist

  3. Nixon Doesn't Interfere in 1968: Would Vietnam Have Ended?

    Richard Nixon famously sabotaged the Vietnam peace talks during the 1968, promising the South Vietnamese government a better deal once he was elected. Let's say Nixon hadn't done that (the reasons he doesn't do it don't really matter). Would Johnson have been able to achieve peace in Vietnam?

  4. AHC: Make a Left-Wing Uprising Against the Bolsheviks Successful

  6. Twilight of the Red Tsar
    Threadmarks: The Alpha and the Omega

    The Alpha and the Omega-March 1st, 1953 At first glance the man sleeping in the Kuntsevo Dacha was a wholly unimpressive figure. He was fairly short (something that surprised those who met him), with a pockmarked face, a visible paunch, and a withered left arm. But the minute he walked into a...

  7. M-R Pact WI: Stalin Tries To Take The Turkish Straits

    During the negotiations for the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact the Soviets mentioned that they wanted to establish military control of the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits in Turkey. Let's say Stalin decides to do that, and instead of the Winter War launches an attack on Turkey. How does it turn out?

  8. Minority Rule in Other African States

    IOTL Rhodesia and South Africa were ruled by white minorities, who undertook brutal wars to keep their rule alive. Could any other African states have been ruled by their white minorities? What would be the effect on Africa, and how long would these states last?

  9. Behind the Mask: The Rise and Fall of President Lyndon LaRouche

    Thanks to Sabot Cat for helping with the premise. Some notes: Don Merrill was a fellow soldier of LaRouche's who introduced him to Marxism. The POD is that Merrill reads Trotsky's articles on The French Turn and entryism, and shows them to LaRouche. - Part One: Rise March 5th, 1946...

  12. AHC: Make Lyndon LaRouche POTUS

    I was reading Zhirinovsky's Russian Empire and I asked: who is the American equivalent of Zhirinovsky? I think the answer is Lyndon LaRouche. So your challenge is to make Lyndon LaRouche President of the United States. However his views have to stay the same as they are IRL.

  13. TLIAW: The Hand of Orcus

    What is this? This is a short timeline that asks the question "What would have happened if HIV/AIDS had spread to humans around the time the Roman Republic was founded?" Sounds..umm...fun. Hopefully it will be interesting. I'm hoping that the social and political effects will be...

  14. Hitler moves on Poland First

  15. A Two Front WWII from the Invasion of Poland?

    For my TL The Imperious Chairman the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is almost certainly going to be butterflied away, so if Germany decided to invade Poland it would cause a war between the Germans on one hand and the Soviet and Allies on the other. My question is: what date could Germany have a...

  16. Can Communism Work?

    I know that this site is very left-leaning, and I am just curious how many people here think that Communism can work?

  17. The Imperious Chairman-A TL

    Moscow, March 2nd 1919 Despite being utterly exhausted Yakov Sverdlov could not sleep. Even as he lay in bed his mind was trying to solve dozens of problems, from the current civil war to who the best person for a particular bureaucratic position was. Around 5 am he finally fell asleep, only to...

  18. The Unwritten Letter

    Henry Clay's Decision The pale light of a July morning filtered through Henry Clay's windows. “Damn Texas” he thought as he crossed out another sentence.

    Carrizal Venustiano Carranza had enough of the Americans. First, they had invaded Veracruz and now they had decided to invade again and attack Carranza's own troops.
