  1. AHC: Could humans have colonized Antarctica?

    The challenge here is to give Antarctica an indigenous human population. Obviously, OTL, it doesn't have one, and is the only continent on Earth to never have an indigenous population of human beings. It makes sense that it doesn't; it's a barren, hostile land devoid of most important resources...

  2. AHC: The British Empire, not the USA, as the Western superpower in the Cold War

    Is it possible, with a PoD ideally after 1922 (the formation of the Soviet Union, though it can be as early as 1917 if the SU still eventually forms, or some similarly recognizable alternative), for the British Empire to remain the premier superpower of the Western world, and take the place of...

  3. AHC/WI: Majority-Hindu Southeast Asia

    Hinduism has a long history in Southeast Asia, owing to its proximity to India, and it was once practiced even as far as the ancient Philippines. Is it possible for Hinduism to become the majority religion in Southeast Asia, and for Hindus to remain the majority until the 21st century? What...

  4. Largest Possible Soviet Union

    What is the greatest extent to which the Soviet Union could expand its borders (directly, i.e. not through puppet governments like the Warsaw Pact, but through annexing more SSRs or annexing additional land to existing SSRs) without straying into ASB territory?

  5. AHC: Communist Norway

    Is it possible for the Soviets to 'liberate' Norway during WW2 and install a communist puppet government as they did with other nations they occupied during the war? Could the Soviets also do the same to Finland? What would be the effects of a communist, Soviet-aligned Norway on the Cold War...

  6. Largest Possible Canada

    With a POD after 1800, how large could you realistically get Canada to be? Alaska seems obvious, and probably isn't difficult - just have the Russians decide to sell it to the British, and the British decide to buy it. What about all or part of Michigan? Maine? What about the pacific northwest?

  7. AHC: British Empire as the 3rd Superpower in a Tri-Polar Cold War?

    The British Empire is often considered to be the world's first superpower (and for a while, the only superpower) - is it possible for them to retain this status, even while the Soviet Union and the United States both emerge as superpowers in their own right? In such an alternate Cold War, how...

  8. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Canada

    How could you get Canada to become a core part of the United Kingdom, with the same status as Scotland, England, etc? Assume a POD around 1860 (arbitrary, feel free to use whatever year you feel would work, but the later the POD, the better). Perhaps Britain decides that, rather than giving...

  9. Would a League of Nations analogue be formed if the Central Powers won WWI?

    Title says it all, really. Would a similar organization to the League or the UN be formed in the wake of a Central Powers victory? Assume the war lasts around as long as it did OTL, give or take up to a year.

  10. Latest that the Soviets could have defeated NATO in a conventional war

    What is the latest year that the Warsaw Pact could have decisively defeated NATO in a conventional, non-nuclear war?

  11. AHC: Britain-Wank

    In many ways, the 19th century was a OTL Britain-wank. The challenge here is to continue that well into the 20th, and ideally 21st, centuries; have Britain remain in its place as the world's premier power, either via keeping the empire intact, expanding it, or some other means. What might the...

  12. Without the World Wars, where would Europe turn for further colonization?

    If both World Wars and any similar wars are butterflied away, where, if anywhere, would European empire set their sights on for colonization next? By the 20th century most of Africa had already been colonized, along with most of India and the East Indies. Would Europe continue to establish new...

  13. How long can European hegemony and colonialism last?

    How long can decolonization and the decline of European power be averted? Could European colonial empires last in their traditional form (i.e. without federalizing or giving colonies native rule) into the 21st century? How close could they get, if not?

  14. AHC: Have more nations colonize Australia

    The British were the only European power to seriously try to colonize Australia (and New Zealand). However, they were by no means the only country that had the opportunity or ability to do so; the Dutch (via the Dutch East Indies) and the Spanish (via the Philippines) already had a presence in...

  15. Effects on Canada if the UK never enters WWI?

    Whats up guys, I'm pretty new to this forum but I've lurked for a while. I'm Canadian, and I have to do a project for English class for Remembrance Day relating to WWI, stuff like "what if a soldier hadn't died in WWI, what would he live to see" etc. I decided to do "what if Canada wasn't in the...
