  1. Belgium Partitioned, What Happens to the Congo?

    Only years after the guns went silent in Germany, the nation of Belgium was facing a crisis of identity. The ostensible sovereign was King Leopold III, but his craven surrender of Belgium to the invading Nazis drew his legitimacy, and by extrapolation that of the monarchy, into question. This...

  2. AHC/WI: Delay The Palestinian War

    In OTL, the UN partition plan was condemned by nearly every Arab leader, and Mandatory Palestine quickly devolved into bloodshed, with the Israeli declaration of independence being met with declarations of war Is there a way to delay either Israel's genesis or the partition plan that...

  3. LTTW Question (POTENTIAL SPOILERS)

    Hello! I began reading Look to the West awhile ago, then stopped, and am now trying to find the place where I ended. I remember that Joshua Churchill was PM of Great Britain, the Popular Wars had already happened, and there was internecine conflict between the VRD and pan-Germans in...

  4. AHC: Third Spanish Republic

    The return of democracy to Spain, like many events in the latter 20th century, surprisingly peaceful considering the potential chaos that could have ensued following Franco's death. The challenge that stands before you now is to determine how the Francoist regime can be replaced not by a...

  5. We All Want to Change the World

    "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT, I PRESENT TO YOU THE CREW OF UNV JANUS!" Step out of the curtains. Give a curt, professional wave to the cold, refractory eyes of the cameras. Give a little smile for the girls back home. Shake the General Secretaries hand and resist the...

  6. AHC/WI: American Shogun

    What if during the occupation of Japan during WWII, the U.S. decided that, much like Germany, Japan should not be able to regain its independence in a complete manner? Seeing as how the Americans hated the Japanese more than the Germans, what are the chances that, taking inspiration from the...

  7. AHC: Four-Way Cold War

    During the Cold War, although the primary conflict was between Moscow and Washington, there were several nations which attempted to stand out on their own. The PRC is the most notable example of this, and French attempts to galvanize an Europe independent of American hegemony also deserves a...

  8. AHC: Lower C. Asian Birthrates

    A major issue faced by Soviet leadership was the fact that in the late 20th century, Central Asian birthrates were much higher than Slavic ones, with projections showing that Central Asians would overthrow the traditional Russian/Slavic majority by the 2000's. With a post-1945 pod, what...

  9. Soviet Israel and Washingtonian UAR, where do monarchs go?

    In a situation where a socialist (not full communist) Israel accepts ties with a somewhat less antisemitic USSR (Molotov maintains good standing with Stalin, then Stalin is succeeded by some reformist Malenkov-Molotov-Zhukov troika, with Mikoyan, Bulganin, and Kosygin biding their time) and the...

  10. AHC: No United India

    During India's quest for independence, there were several proposals for the devolution of power within the subcontinent. Amongst these was the call for an independent Tamil Nadu/Dravidistan (a region which also possessed many communist sympathizers) a united Bengal and Assam, as well as...

  11. AHC: Independent Hungary 1853

    So, if Franz Joseph is assassinated in 1853 by a Magyar nationalist, and Maximilian takes the throne, could Hungarians see the assassination of Franz Joseph as a call for a new revolution? I theorize that Maximilian, being a relatively liberal and politically savvy man, could recognize that...

  12. WI/AHC: Papal States Reemerge

    During the infamous Italian referendum of 1946, the split was pretty clearly split along geographical between monarchism and republicanism, with a pretty big chance of a split. Say the Americans delay the referendum, perhaps out of fear of a communist-dominated republic, to allow many...

  13. AHC: Cold War Bulgarian Macedonia

    Judging from the comments I've read on this board, the most prevalent opinion is that Macedonians are a subsection of Bulgarians who are now considered a separate ethnicity due to Yugoslavic machinations. In fact, many maps of the late 19th/early 20th centuries explicitly labelled Macedonians...

  14. Chinese Flag Question

    Why did the Ro. China ever drop the Five-Races flag?

  15. AHC: Integration Instead of Decolonization

    Create a world where the U.S. and UN support the integration of European colonies into the metropolé instead of decolonization, with the Allies still winning. I'd presume that this would be possible if the Soviets obtained stronger positions in the Mediterranean, thus necessitating a muc...

  16. AHC: No United India

    India is a remarkably diverse nation, possessing no single unifying language culture, and relying on a mutual Hindu unity to exist. What are the chances that the British, not trusting the Congress to maintain a unified India, and wanting to create several states so that none of them could truly...

  17. Kyujo Incident succeeds, likeliness of Soviet Japanese Occupation Zone?

    The Kyujo Incident was an attempted house arrest on Emperor Hirohito to prevent Japan's surrender after the bombardment of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So, a) What's the likeliness of the coup succeeding, and what variables are necessary for it to succeed? b) For how long would a successful coup...

  18. AHC: Have Zhdanov control the USSR without prematurely killing Stalin

    As I understand, Stalin's health suffered greatly even before his death, and by the end of the Second World War much more liberal individuals, such as Zhukov and Zhdanov, possessed enough influence and direction to take power if Stalin fell. Is there any way for Zhdanov to take unofficial...

  19. AHC: A Zoroastrian-Influenced Shi'a Islam

    Is there any possibility that Shi'a Islam accepted certain aspects of Zoroastrianism, instead of trying to suppress them?

  20. DBWI: No Chernomorye

    As we all know, the USSR broke up quite violently in OTL, with several wars in Ukraine, the Caucasus, and even a Russian nationalist rebellion in Estonia all seeking to revise the long-defunct borders of the Soviet Republics. Amongst the newly created independent states states, the Republic of...
