Timelines and Scenarios

This is a database of alternate histories created on this discussion board by its members. We try to update it as often as we can.

All the timelines are listed alphabetically in each of these groups. The group the timeline ends up in is based on the timeline's Point of Divergence (PoD). For example: If the timeline's PoD is in the year 1377, it should be listed on the “Dark Ages and Medieval” page. Therefore, while many timelines may span centuries or even millennia, they are listed according to when or how they started to diverge from OTL.

• Ancient and Classical: PoDs before 476 A.D.

• Dark Ages and Medieval: PoDs from 476 A.D. to 1492 A.D.

• Early Modern: PoDs from 1492 to 1800.

• 19th Century: PoDs from 1800 to 1900.

• Early 20th Century: PoDs from 1900 to 1945.

• Late 20th Century: PoDs from 1945 to 2000.

• 21st Century: PoDs from 2000 to the present day.

• Future: Future history. Roughly the present and everything beyond.

• ASB: PoDs using explicit Alien Space Bats, regardless of period. Includes TLs derived from published works.

• TLIADs: TLIADs, or TimeLines In A Day, a particular vignette style of timeline that became popular in 2013.

• Vignettes: Shorter, one-shot, one-post forms of timelines and AH narratives.

• Old Board: Timelines from the era of the Old Board.

• Non-AH.com Timelines: Interesting or notable timelines created outside of the board (but often by its members on their personal websites).

• List of Countries by Timeline: A list of all countries and territories in the world, with each having a subpage detailing the country's appearances in a timeline (sorted according to whether the country plays a key role in the timeline or only makes occassional appearances).

• List of Timelines by Theme: Timelines listed according to their main topics and main thematic elements.
