  1. WI: Ba'athists vs. Hashemites?

    During the early Cold War/early post-colonial Middle East, there was a wave of pan-Arabism that lead to the founding of the United Arab Republic, composed of Egypt and Syria, with popular support for the union and indeed for some sort of pan-Arab state. As a response to the formation of the...

  2. WI: The 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan succeeded?

    The year after Reagan was elected, he was shot by a guy trying to get Jodie Foster's attention, and nearly bled to death on the way to the hospital.

  7. WI: Alexander the Great doesn't die in 232 BC?

    So, Alexander the Great has been spared from whatever disease killed him. What is his next move? Conquer more? Sit back and enjoy the fruits of his new empire? Also, what happens to the Hellenic Civilization he - unintentionally - founded? Does the Hellenization of Anatolia/the Levant take...

  8. A Man, A Plan, Nicaragua! - An alternate history of the Filibuster

    A Man, A Plan, Nicaragua! What if William Walker didn't fail? May, 1856 It had been seven months since the filibuster William Walker had seized effective control over the government of Nicaragua. Though he never fully and directly seized control of the Latin American republic, his and his...
