  1. AHC: The Mali Empire, Songhai Empire, and a powerful Fulani state all coexist in modern West Africa

    How plausible is it for these three large states to exist in West Africa? Bonus points if the Mali and Songhai have coastlines.

  2. What if Baha'ullah took a place in the Qajar government?

    Prime Minister Amir Kabir offered Mirza Hossein Ali—better known as Baha'ullah—a place in the Qajar government. How would it have shaped history if Mirza Hossein took a post and championed progressive policies, such as his views on the education of women.

  3. Is a Central and North Asia comprised of these nations ASB?

    Looking at an extremely culturally and religiously mixed Central and North Asia but still with nation states. Iranic nations: Bactria (OTL extreme northern Afghanistan, most of Tajikistan and parts of Uzbekistan) - descendants of Greco-Bactrian kingdom. Practice Devangarism, which is a Buddhist...

  4. AHC: Napoleon as Emperor of Persia

    It was known that Napoleon had an Orientalist bent IOTL. This didn't amount to much after Egypt, but what would it take for Napoleon to firmly set his eyes in the East, take inspiration from Alexander and crown himself Emperor of Persia?

  5. Prime Minister Salmond

    If Alex Salmond did not join the SNP in 1973 and instead joined the Labour Party, would he still rise as high? Let's say his personality and skills as a politician remain the same, would it be feasible for him to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?

  6. More Indian Americans

    With a POD no earlier than 1900, what is feasibly the highest percentage of Americans who have East Indian ancestry be and how would this come about?

  7. DBWI - The Democrats as liberal and GOP as conservative

    I'm not sure if this is ASB but could we manage a polar flip in the alignments of the two major US political parties? As we all know the Republicans are the party of Lincoln and have the vast majority of support from blacks and other ethnic minorities. Republicans are more in favour of social...

  8. DBWI: China as a single-party Communist state, India as a democracy

    In our timeline it is known that India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, leaps and bounds ahead of the other regional powerhouse China who is only now managing to catch up. Some say the reason for this is that China's multi-party democracy slows down decision-making processes...

  9. AHC - Turkey as a stable, developed country

    With a POD no earlier than 1923, make Turkey into a stable "first world" country with a GDP and standard of living comparable to Western Europe. In this TL, Turkey should be considered a European country and have a HDI larger than Greece's. Turkey should be a multi-party, liberal democracy and...

  10. Could Blue Labour win in 2015?

    I'm wondering if this is a plausible scenario: Labour under Brown loses the 2010 election as OTL. The Conservatives and LibDems form a coalition under Cameron and Clegg. Jon Cruddas decides to stand in the 2010 Labour leadership election and wins on the second ballot. Both Miliband...

  11. AHC - Populous Newfoundland

    With a POD no earlier than 1759 (Battle of the Plains of Abraham) can we make the isle of Newfoundland as least as populous as New Zealand OTL in the present day (about 4.2 million)? Bonus points if we can make the island as populous as Ireland in 1840 (about 8.2 million). For reference the...

  12. Could technocracy become a viable political movement?

    Could technocracy become a viable political movement in America during and after the Great Depression? Say could the Technocracy Movement hold on in a world with a failed New Deal and if this happened could technocracy become viable in Western Europe, or even Japan or South Korea during the 1990's?

  13. AHC - Superpower Abyssinia

    How is it that we can see a superpower Abyssinia by the 20th century which is still majority Eastern Orthodox and still ruled by the Solomonic Dynasty. The majority of the population should be Amharic and the country should have at least 100 million in population. Other pre-requisites is for...

  14. Alternate Parliaments Thread

    Here is a place to post alternate parliaments. Here is an alternate parliament for an independent England (no acts of union). The largest party is the Conservative Party led by David Cameron with 288 seats. The Tories are still a centre-right and economically liberal party. The second...

  15. Any way for the SDP-Liberal Alliance to obtain a majority in parliament?

    Is there any way that the SDP-Liberal Alliance could obtain a majority in 1983, or failing that 1987? If they do would the merger between them still occur and we see a majority LibDem governmnet? Bonus points if the Conservatives are pushed into third place and the main two parties are the...

  16. AHC - "Native" Egypt Surviving

    What would be the requirements of a native Egyptian state (that is non-Arab) surviving in the modern day? Would Islamic rule need to be completely avoided or could the native Egyptian population convert to Islam while still maintaining their distinct Egyptian identity á la Persia? Or would we...

  17. Rise of the Hui - Timur's Dream

    AN: This is my first timeline so please be as harsh as possible! This was inspired by my thread on the "Islamic China" challenge where a discussion arose as to how an Islamic state in China would look and function. I'm still trying to work out the details but hopefully we can iron things out as...

  18. AHC - Islamic China

    Would there be a way for a Persianate Musim empire to control China? The POD in question should be before 1500. I'm thinking Timur and his Northern Yuan buddies succesfully manage to conquer Northern China with some luck and hey ho we get a Muslim, Persianiate Yuan 2.0 ruling the north. Timur...

  19. Idea - As Long as There's One Hundred

    Although not my first idea for an alternate history, this is the first one I've seriously considered making a thread on here about and am hoping to start. This will be my first attempt at writing an alternate history so I apologize if it isn't up to scratch. My idea is for an alternate...
