  1. Map Thread XV

    Because people keep arguing about who's going to start it. Last thread here: Map Thread XIV. A cover of @Beedok's Languages of the Spartan Republic of Rome and Tianxia Union. Alright, the premise of this is very obvious. This technically has two PoDs, although the first one is earlier so you...

  2. Alternate "Taiwans"

    I've noticed a trend among alternate histories involving the destruction of a great power during a (usually communist) revolution: the old regime fleeing to a geographically isolated region and continuing to claim the mainland, while the revolutionary government continues to claim the region...

  3. GURPS Infinite Worlds Covers

    Something that's always bothered me about some alternate history anthologies are the timelines which are only hinted on, but never fleshed out. I want to know what the rest of those worlds are like! GURPS Infinite Worlds is particularly bad about this, tantalizing us with sentence-long...

  4. WI: Ivan IV Doesn't Kill His Son?

    I know there have been a few threads about this in the past, but I have some questions about the possible consequences of Ivan IV not killing his son, Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich, in a fit of rage. A possible PoD is the Tsarevich's wife wearing something different so Ivan IV isn't incited into...

  5. WI: Alternate Second Dynasty of Egypt?

    I was fooling around with an RNG trying to get quick PoDs, and ended up with 2789 BC. Reading up on that century, I learned that during this period Egypt was undergoing a civil war of sorts between the followers of Horus and Set, with the Horus cult victorious. What if this war had gone the...

  6. War Aims of a "Nazi" China

    Similar to this thread, what would the war aims of a "Nazi" China be? Fascist Chinas a scenario I see infrequently among quick alternate history scenarios, but these tend to be less than successful. With regard to planting the Chinese flag, 20th century China has lost a lot of land compared to...

  7. Plausibility Check: Alternate Russo-Japanese War

    The Russo-Japanese War has been fascinating me recently and, after doing some reading, I think I found an interesting PoD that can have massive ramifications later on. On March 22, the Japanese battleships Fuji and Yashima were bombarding Port Arthur but did little damage. The attack was called...

  8. Effects of an Earlier Columbian Exchange

    What would be the effects of an earlier Columbian exchange? For the purposes of this thread, say Vinland is successfully settled. Would the introduction of maize into the medieval economy help or further exacerbate Europe's population problems? Would this further entrench serfdom? What about the...

  9. WI: First Mongol Invasion of Japan Succeeds

    I've been reading some old threads on "no kamikaze" and something I've seen repeatedly is that while the Japanese were prepared for that second encounter, the Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274 almost succeeded in taking all of Kyushu. The only reason this failed was because a storm caused the...

  10. Timeline-191 Militaries

    Inspired by all of the other TL-191 threads on here, I wanted to make a thread that would fill in a major blank Turtledove leaves: the nature of TL-191's militaries outside of North America. I refuse to believe that a revanchist France and unindistrialized Russia have identical militaries to...

  11. Equip Your Post-WWII Army

    Based on Tank Cdr's thread about how people would equip their WWII-era armies. How would you equip your post-war armies? Any weapon system developed after August 15, 1945 is fair game. P.S: If this is too broad a category, feel free to divide your listings up by decade/war/whatever, if you...

  12. Plausibility Check/Questions: Persian Victory in the Greco-Persian Wars

    Here's a scenario I've had in my head for a while. Ancient history is not my forte, so if I'm making any mistakes, please correct me. The scenario is the Persians win at the Battle of Salamis and the Greco-Persian Wars. The Persians do their thing (Set up some collaborator states, "Pay us...

  13. Flag Challenge Southeast Asia Voting Thread

    Thanks to everyone who entered! Great entries! Entry 1: Deutsch-Burnai Flag for German Empire-controlled North-Borneo: Deutsch-Burnai. The name of this territory Burnai is a combination of Brunei and Borneo. The round shield is an alternate simplified emblem of the German Empire...
