  1. AHC: Japan-like militarist USA

    An obvious POD would be Jimmy K. Polk having a few screws loose and pushing to annex Mexico. If we assume nothing goes agains this- like a guerrilla war against the american oppressors- happens, then we're looking at a greatly expanded sense of "Manifest Destiny" halfway through the 19th...

  2. Ed Dawn

    Best. Title. Ever.

  3. The "Big 3" of debt default

    What if the 3 most indebted countries in the 1980s- Brazil, Mexico and Argentina- defaulted at the same time? It doesn't even need to be a conspiracy, say one defaults, then the banks have to increase interests, and the other two say "to hell with it" and default. Let's say the default happens...

  4. The "Big 3" of debt default

    nevermind. I meant to post this in after 1900.

  5. US Repays Debt

    makes sense.

  6. AHC: Chile goes Haiti

    In the last few years, both Chile and Haiti were hit by earthquakes. Both earthquakes caused damage, but whereas the number of victims in Chile numbered in the hundreds and the nation quickly bounced back from the disaster, Haiti's earthquake caused thousand upon thousands of deaths and worsened...

  7. No 9/11 = Fight Club?

    Very interesting points raised by everybody! This one made me think: What if the anti-globalization movement did gain steam, and became an issue in US elections by, say, 2004 and 2006? A representative or two elected to "fight against globalization", and not just NAFTA?

  8. No 9/11 = Fight Club?

    Yeah, or that. Damn.

  9. WI:Central Powers Victory

    So you mean total victory?

  10. No 9/11 = Fight Club?

    Good point, but the mini-recession was already basically under way when 9/11 happened. If I'm not mistaken, 9/11 did worsen it, but it began sometime in Spring 2000 when the Dot-Com Bubble burst. With that in mind, I can't quite see why it would happen earlier than it did in OTL. The haphazard...

  11. WI: Argentine invasion of the Falklands in 2000?

    Do you think she would have lasted though? With the state she was in by 1982 I highly doubt she could have survived the Miner's Strike.

  12. WI: Argentine invasion of the Falklands in 2000?

    There is indeed a large chance that without the popularity boost provided by the Falklands War, Margaret Thatcer would have lost reelection. I only wonder to who, because Michael Foot was pretty much unelectable. If Foot and his party wins, oh my... It would be a very different Britain indeed...

  13. No 9/11 = Fight Club?

    I've always wondered whether the film Fight Club was set in what was then the near-future, or what now would be an ATL where 9/11 didn't happen. A lot of cultural commentators seem to note that American culture seemed to be sort of directionless by the late 90s, that the "End of History" was...

  14. Why didn't civilization develop along the Mississippi?

    Can I sig that? He's pretty much my favorite historian :D

  15. Which AH.com TL would you like to see adapted?

    The Chaos timeline would work.

  16. AHC: a functioning FTAA by 2012.

    A favourite of the US foreign policy, an FTAA(Free Trade Area of the Americas) was pushed for several times, but never succeeded, for a variety of reasons. With a POD no earlier than 1990, have the entire American continent be part of a free trade area by 2012.

  17. CH: Kill Clinton's Third Way

    Neo-liberalism had plenty of chances to be humiliated IRL... one could say that the balls-out catastrophic meltdown that Argentina suffered in 2001 was one such humiliation, as was the horrible Russian financial crisis in '98, which, coincidentally, also basically annihilated the still-emerging...

  18. DBWI: Bush elected in 2000

    What would happen if, in 2000, the SC handed the election to Bush rather than Gore? Would the bombings in Afghanistan in late 2001 happen, or would there have been a more direct military action? Would Bin Laden be captured earlier? Would the Earth Liberation Front and the Militia have gained as...

  19. AHC: Have the Iraq War 2003 have International Support.

    Seconded. Even then, it would still be pretty difficult to get a lot of nations to join.

  20. What If Hitler Hadn't Invaded Russia?

    Hello. There are indeed threads about this, but, let's forget about that. The problem with Hitler not invading Russia is that you have to change the core philosophy of Nazism, which was to create a large, unpopulated space to the East, which would cleanse the world of "undesirables"(ie Slavs)...
