  1. Determining a "Point of No Return" for September 11th

    I've been thinking of doing a no 9/11 timeline for awhile now, but a major sticking point continues to be how to prevent the attack from taking place. Now I am realistic enough to know that, outside of ASB, it's not going to be stopped that Tuesday morning, but I would like some board thought...

  2. Plausibility Question: The Maritimes in US or New England

    So a question that I've had in my mind for the past few days: whether OTL, the world of Decades of Darkness, or other TLs and adventures, what reasons would need to exist or what events would need to take place in order for the United Kingdom to give up the Maritimes, either to the United States...

  3. 'Tis Time To Part (Version 2.0)

    "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." -Samuel Beckett, "Westward Ho", 1983 While hopefully we shall avoid that last bit, the only way to find out if you'll fail a second time is to start again after the first attempt. So, with that in mind - it's back:

  4. Odds of Preventing 9/11

    For some reason the search function isn't working for me at the moment, so I'm sure this has been brought up before, but is there any logical way for the 9/11 attacks to be prevented? One month out all of the hijackers are in the United States and Bush has been given the memo stating that bin...

  5. TL Planning - No 9/11: Effects

    I've developed writter's block while working on `Tis Time To Part, and while I'm still trying to figure out how to move on from where I am stuck I started sketching out an idea for a no 9/11 TL. What I'm looking for are both events and happenings that happened because 9/11 took place and events...

  6. 'Tis Time To Part Planning/Speculation Thread

    EDIT: Here is a link to said TL Seeing as my neck of the woods is getting pwned by the snow, I've had some time to work on my TL which has sadly taken a back seat since the semester has started. I decided to start a seperate thread from the TL itself for me to post my questions to you guys...

  7. `Tis Time To Part: A Timeline

    So, as a few of you may know, I'm PCSwitaj (just Switaj is fine) and I've been here for a few years. I first came aboard back in 2007 with flags, and over time became interested in the maps and stories that were created and crafted here. During this time, I also had an idea for a TL myself, but...

  8. Quebec in a French Louisiana TL

    I was working on developing a TL of mine farther down past the POD and came across a question that I'd like to post to the board: Assuming that a French-speaking territory/nation were to be created and survive in Louisiana, the size maybe affecting your answer but let's assume larger then the...

  9. Why the Dollar?

    Sorry for the poor title, I'm not feeling too well today. What alternate currency names could the United States adopted instead of using the dollar (based off of, among other currencies, the Spanish dollar) without using the pound. Suppose they want to come up with a true "American" name. Go...

  10. Patagonian Colonization

    An ideal I'm considering for a TL project, but I don't know much about the topic: What European powers would be most likely to establish a colony in the Patagonia region prior to the expansion of Argentina and Chile? If such an establishment is possible, when is it most likely to happen? I'm...

  11. No Disappointment: Alternate Pacific Northwest History

    In real history, reports of a mighty river in the Pacific Northwest had been reported when the Spanish under Bruno de Heceta sighted the river in 1775. However, he did not go up river, and it wouldn't be until 12 May 1792 when American Robert Gray set sail up the river. However, in 1788 a...

  12. Continetal Congress / Confederation Congress Help

    Continental Congress / Confederation Congress Help Anyone recommend any good books dealing with the Continental Congress during the American Revolutionary War and the Confederation Congress under the Articles of Confederation? I’m trying to read up on for the times between 1775 through 1789 for...

  13. Butterfly Effect / Chaos Theory: Your Views

    Since different people seem to have different vies on to what extent the butterfly theory applies or how fast it takes effect, I was wondering what some peoples views on it were, including: How fast the butterfly effect spreads from a POD (both time and distance)? To borrow a phrase I saw in...

  14. Red Storm Rising: How Realistic?

    Well, the title asks the question really - On a scale of one to a hundred, how realistic are the events in Tom Clancy's (and to some respects Larry Bond's as well, who helped create the storyline for World in Conflict) Red Storm Rising to something that could have happened in OTL?

  15. AH Challenge: Alternate British Roundel

    When the British first began using aircraft for military purposes, they used the Union Jack on their wings as a means of identification. However, during WWI this was quickly changed to the red, white, and blue roundel that is used to this day; the reason being that ground forces (read: Anti-air...

  16. No D.C. - Potomac Development?

    Suppose that, for whatever reason you wish (different Compromise, failed American Revolution, etc) that Washington, D.C. is never built/laied out? What do we find in it's place? Does Alexandria take its place as the largest city there? Bethesda? Georgetown? Also, how reduced would such...

  17. Balkanized North American Space Program?

    I know that this is a broad topic, and depends on several factors such as how the nation is divided and how many nations cooperate and such, but still a few questions: 1. Is it possible to see a space program develope like the EU is doing, and could it possibly make a space shuttle based...

  18. Joe Smith who?

    Winter 1812-1813: While undergoing an operation to remove part of an infected shin bone, Joseph Smith Jr. seems to be on the road to improvement. However, soon after the operation, Smith comes down with a high fever and eventually dies. How does this effect history? Do we see any religion...

  19. Upcoming Project!

    This is a project that is in the works. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :D Potential Timeline Summary of 'Tis Time To Part POD: 15 November 1777 While meeting in York, Pennsylvania, the Continental Congress fails to pass the Articles of Confederation. While efforts are made over...

  20. Flag Alternate History Development - Crosses

    I was thinking, suprisingly enough, and wondered what it would take for the flags of Christain nations to have a cross on their flag, much in the way the cresent and star and/or color green are found on several national flags of Islamic nations? Would it have to be from the Crusades being...
