  1. Sovereign Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem of the West Indies

    This is a scenario I posited for a flag challenge, but I think it is interesting enough to get its own thread. ITTL, the Knights of Malta sell only St. Croix and St. Kitts to the French West India Company, retaining the islands of St. Martin and St. Barthelemy. The Order later loses Malta in...

  2. Owens Sprains Ankle, Glickman and Stroller Win Gold

    Owens sprains his ankle at the finish of the 200 and comes in second to Mack Robinson (Jackie's older brother). He finishes the Olympics with two golds and a silver. Glickman and Stoller are not replaced and go on to win gold as part of the 4x100 relay. Does having Jews and Blacks win gold...

  3. A Different Christianity in the Roman Empire

    I am looking for another major break point in a sort-of-timeline I am working on (Ancient Jewish Refuge in Madagascar), but this is not my area of expertise. With a POD after the death of Jesus, and preferably mid 2nd Century or within the folowing 50-100 years, have different sects/traditions...

  4. Ancient Jewish Refuge in Madagascar

    I have seen a thread discussing the start of a tmeline with a concept of Jews fleeing from the Roman Empire starting over in Australia. I commented that the distance, over 10,000 kilometers, was way too far. I think that Madagascar, while still an immense distance at over 5,000 kilometers...

  5. French Canada and a Successful American Revolution

    In another thread, the initial post writer is discussiing a possible timeline where the British keep Guadaloupe and return Canada after the Seven Years War. Presuming this is the case, will there still be an American Revolution? I think that there might well be, and if so, with the French in...

  6. Flag Challenge #101: Voting Thread

    Backstories as follows (pictures below): 1. Khazionia Quote: From Vol. 1, Epilogue, 'The Wandering Races: Judeo, Anglo and Lnuko' by Dr. Erdward Stanebridge, Professor of Ethnology, St Bede's College, University of Amberston± Press, 1905. …Therefore I can only consider myself successful...

  7. A Northwest Passage

    What if a Northwest Passage exists as shown on the map attached to this post (Canadian provincial boundaries shown for convenience of discussion only). The passage is navigable for its length, when not frozen in during winter. Applying a generous dollop of handwavium, assume no drastic effects...

  8. Danke Schön, Freiherr von der Goltz

    Back after a long absence. This is an idea that has been simmering for a while. The POD is fairly pedestrian, with von Schliefen catching influenza, and dying late in 1901. The Kaiser makes von der Goltz head of the General Staff, rather than von Moltke. German military planning for the...

  9. Non-Silly Canals

    The canal threads are really getting out of hand. Discussion, in the Pre-1900 forum, about proposed canals which are an order or orders of magnitude larger than any ever built. How about a Black Sea-Yellow Sea Canal? LOL Anyway, what I would like to see is a discussion of canals which might...

  10. POD: Agriculture in Ancient Australia

    Specifically, the POD is that ancestors of the Wiradjuri tribe of Australian aboriginees domesticate Weeping Grass around 3,000 B.C.E. in the Murray River Valley. See the links for detailed information on this native Australian grain crop...

  11. What if the Nile flowed to the Red Sea?

    Inspired by the recent discussion of the Pharoanic Canal. What if the Nile flowed east through what would have no longer been the Bitter Lakes, then south to the Gulf of Suez? Would silt deposits have pushed the coast southward through the narrow Gulf, eventually leading to the formation of...

  12. Swiss Admirals?

    What would be a reasonable and late POD for Switzerland to have a seaport, in territory contiguous with OTL Switzerland? (The thread title is from a comment of mine in another thread--in New York City, fancily dressed doormen at posh buildings were colloquially known as 'Swiss Admirals'.)

  13. No Plimoth Plantation

    The Mayflower was originally bound for the English colony of Virginia. By reason of several bad storms and less-than-perfect navigation, they landed in what was to become Massachusetts, and decided to stay. But what if they had either arrived directly in Virginia, or upon figuring out where...

  14. Sometimes you get the bear...

    ...and sometimes the bear gets you. So the old saying goes, and so Fafila, King of Asturias, found out to his regret in 739. I have been a lurker here for a very long time, and thought I'd finally take a shot at wrting a detailed AH scenario. In OTL, Fafila was killed by a bear while on a...
