  1. WI: Localized European Conflict in 1914

    Granted, there seem to be a lot of CP victory WI's up lately, and yes this was inspired by them, but I think it has a different set of parameters then those, as I want a look into the future from all of your responses and maybe make this into a TL. Using these posts as influence towards my...

  2. WI: Hohenzollern Spain?

    What if Leopold, Prince of Hohenzollern accepted the crown of Spain? Perhaps Bismarck foresaw that war with France was inevitable (and didn't he kind of want it?) and suggests that Leopold and Wilhelm call Napoleon's bluff. Prussia already won a great victory against the French, and maybe with...

  3. WI: No Lindbergh kidnapping?

    I just recently stumbled onto this event, and I wondered what would have been the repercussions if Col. Lindbergh had discovered the apparent abductor and "apprehended him" (beat the life out of him for trying to steal his first son and male heir). What would happen if the "Crime of the Century"...

  4. Pre-TL Thread: Political AH

    King Nazar and I would like to give writing a political TL a shot. We have a specific area zoned in, but cannot define a specific PoD to focus on. Thus, we give you a poll to help us decide. We will also value any input and criticisms on the PoD's for their accuracy and plausibility. Rocky and...

  5. Bad Company: A Timeline

    King Nazar & yourtowndrunk present... Bad Company: A Timeline "It is better to be alone than in bad company." -George Washington PoD: 1798, The French continue attacking US ships even after Adams tries to reconcile with the French. Adams takes the advice of an old Friend, Alexander Hamilton...

  6. WI and AHC: President Alexander Hamilton?

    Get Alexander Hamilton as President, preferably after Madison goes. Getting him to not die in the duel is simple enough; just have him not miss, getting him into the White House is the hard part.

  7. WI: South Seceeds 1820?

    What if the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850 didn't go the way of the South, and Dred Scott v Sanford went the other way (I know Justice Taney and most of his fellow Justices were slave-owning southerners, but just stick with me here), would the South have seceded 40 years earlier...

  8. Plausible Successful Assassination of Hitler

    IIRC there were over fifteen attempts on the Fuhrer's life. I'm looking for the one with the most plausible chance of succeeding. It should also be before the Declarations of War on the USSR and the US. Bonus points in Heydrich is his successor :D

  9. WI: Falkirk Goes As Planned?

    I just got done watching Braveheart for the umpteenth time, and it got me wondering... The Battle of Falkirk in the First War of Scottish Independence could've been a crushing defeat for the English, but none of the Scottish Magnates or Robert the Bruce showed support at the battle. What if...

  10. WI: Antilles never separated?

    What if the island formations known as the Greater and Lesser Antilles never separated into the many islands it exists as today? Would the Caribbean Sea still be a sea? What would the climate of this new land be, like Mexico? When would this happen and how would it affect the Future?

  11. Belisarius defects?!

    What could be the causes and effects of Belisarius defecting from Justinian's command? How far could he go, how long could he last, and what would he hold with his troops? I don't know when he would actually defect, but being a smart man, he'd wait until the time was right (ie: he had an army at...

  12. WI: August Bebel lived for 4 more years?

    August Bebel was the leader of the SPD in Germany before Friedrich Edbert assumed his place upon Bebel's death, leading to him becoming the first President of the Weimar Republic. What if Bebel lived another four years, not dying of that heart attack that killed him in Switzerland, and served as...

  13. Isolationist USA

    (This has probably been asked before, but the sites search function sucks ass, so I wouldn't know) What would be the major internal effects of an Isolationist USA during both world wars? Obviously the loss of life not happening is a big factor, but also, wouldn't the US profit from selling...

  14. WI: Japan declares war on the USSR

    Idk if this has been asked, many times or not. I just skimmed across some threads that spoke about WWII in general, and they got me thinking. Japan wanted a war, so what if they turned their expansion from the Pacific to Siberia. I know that its mostly a barren wasteland, but Vladivostok would...

  15. Strong American nations other than the US?

    I'm bouncing around ideas for a new TL, and I'd like to dedicate as much time and effort into this one as I can, but I'll need some questions answered first before I go any further. First, can the First Mexican Empire stay an Empire and still be competent? Maybe Agustin I gives up some power to...

  16. AHC: Successful Post-War Germany

    Germany was in the crap tank after the Great War. They were given the short end of the stick and it was inevitable they would be angry and want to do something about it, right? But the NSDP had to go ruin it all by being psychotic idiots, especially Hitler. Your challenge is this, have Germany...

  17. WI: Wall of Augustus?

    What if, after Augustus conquered Germania, he initiated plans to build a wall across the most easily defensible border on the east, possibly from the Vistula river to the Black Sea? Of course the wall would probably take longer than he would live, but if its completed and maintained, what...

  18. Angevin Empire

    I find the fact that English Kings once held land on continental Europe awesome, but then they lost it. I blame John, successor to Richard, but correct me if that's not the case. The other alternative to John was Richard I's first choice of an heir, Arthur of Brittany. I remember that the...

  19. The Iron Crown and the Eagle

    (OOC: I first tried this TL in the After 1900 discussion, but I failed to have a decent PoD and my ideas were all over the place. Hopefully with an earlier, improved PoD the TL would make more sense. If anyone has read my first attempt let me know if the PoD improved at all, I tried to make it...

  20. Past ten years with a Gore Presidency?

    What if Gore won in 2000? Let's say Clinton campaigned for him in the south and he got more votes, enough to win, how would the past ten years have gone for America? I ask because I just finished watching the movie W., and although I think most of it was fictional, I came to the conclusion...
