    Robert Curthose, King of England?

    Let us say that the Rebellion of 1088, which failed partially due to bad weather on the Channel preventing Robert from actually sending troops to England, and partially due to bad organization, actually manages to succeed. Perhaps the bad weather of OTL is not so, and Robert's troops arrive in...

    Interest in a New Courland TL?

    Hey, guys. I've been inactive for quite a while, but I've had an idea bouncing around in my head for a bit now and I was wondering if the community would be interested in it. Basically, the Couronian colony established on Tobago in 1654 succeeds. The POD would be the Dutch colonizing ship being...

    Northern Epirus war in 1993?

    In 1993, the freshly democratic Albanian government arrested the archbishop of the Greek Orthodox church within Albania, citing charges of separatist agitation. They then nearly passed a law restricting leadership positions in religious organizations to Albanians. Though this law was not passed...

    WI: Lincoln dies in 1861?

    Just a random idea because of the CSA-kills-Lincoln thread, but what if Lincoln died accidentally in 1861? What would happen?

    History, Rewritten (2.0)

    Hi there. A little bit ago, this thread inspired myself and several others to attempt to create (unsuccessfully) an alternate entire world from the very beginning. I want to do that again. Who wants to rewrite history?

    WI: Portugal reaches the Americas first?

    Now, I know there's a lot of controversy over reaching the Americas 'first'--the Native Americans, of course, were first, but I mean in the context of late medieval Europe. Is it plausible that Portugal could have reached the Americas before Spain? Why or why not? And what would be the effects?

    Rise of the Krung Tai: Empire of the South 2.0

    I wrote this timeline a long time ago, but stopped and started feverishly for a while until I finally gave up. But now, I'm restarting it! Rewritten and everything! Rise of the Krung Tai A Timeline by Darren Bitter Excerpt from "Sons of Indraditya: A History of the Ayutthayan Empire"...

    AHC: Wank All Three North American Nations in One TL!

    You heard me. With no more than three PODs, post-1900 and pre-2000, I want you to wank all three North American nations. A note, however; the USA does need to be better off by 2010 than it is right now (i.e., no recession, not as huge of a debt), but not by much. Mexico and Canada, on the other...

    WI: Marijuana a staple of Western diets?

    Now, before anybody goes crazy on me, cannabis has been consumed as a food for thousands of years, but only really in Africa and Asia, as it is quite common there. Now let's say that weed somehow spreads to Europe in the early Roman era (say, near the end of the Republic), possibly as a trading...

    Wi: Partitioned Colonial Australia?

    Every single thread on this website that I've seen has Australia colonized by only one major power--usually Britain. But what if and how could Australia be colonized by multiple colonial powers and end up partitioned into different nations?

    Better Arab-Western Relations post-Ottomans?

    Exactly what it says on the tin. With what POD could you get better Arab-Western relations after the fall of the Ottoman Empire?

    WI: US decides to decapitate the snake?

    WI, rather than nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the US instead drops the bomb on Tokyo itself, to cut the head off of Japan? Is this at all plausible?

    WI: Balkanized Sweden?

    What if Sweden had remained divided into its tiny original nations beyond the Middle Ages? (i.e. Goetaland, Jaemtland, Svealand, Gotland, and Ostmark.)

    How fast could Japan have lost?

    Most of us here at AH.com know that Japan's great success in the first few years of the Pacific War was simply because of fantastic luck and decades of preparation. So my question is, how badly could it have gone for the Japanese without all that luck?

    AHC: Islamic World

    With a POD no earlier than 1000 A.D., make Islam the dominant world religion, with a similar percentage of followers as OTL Christianity and half of OTL Islam combined. Further, make Hinduism and Buddhism the next largest religions, in that order.

    WI: Brazilian civilian space program from the get-go?

    What if, rather than being controlled by the Brazilian military for the first thirty-odd years of its existence, the Brazilian space program was civilian-run from the start? Obviously, this would allow for better relations with NASA and other nuclear-wary space agencies worldwide. Thinking of...

    Alternate Space Powers?

    So, with a POD within the bounds of this forum, what alternate spacefaring powers could there have been? What I'm looking for is not just having touched space, but specifically having launched something home-made into space permanently (like a satellite).

    Rise of the Macedonian: Pre-TL Thread

    Hi. I'm going to do another TL, cause I'm blocked on my current one (see below). I had an idea for a crime TL. Something I don't think anyone's ever done before. The POD is twofold: firstly, Alexander Vikotorvich Solonik, AKA the Macedonian fakes his death (rather than actually dying) to...

    So, I found this random war/conflict generator. This AHC is: post whether you want a war or a just a campaign, and I will give you a name. Then, you have to make up the corresponding campaign/war.
