  1. Search: Switch Australia and South America

    I'm looking for a thread that I can't seem to come across in the search engine because it was a while ago and I don't remember the exact terminology used. Basically someone asked what would be the result if Australia and South America were switched. I believe one of the responses was a well...
  2. Best Zombie Setting

    I just rewatched The Walking Dead and flipped through my Max Brooks collection and started thinking of potential TimeLines to myself. So I was just wondering what AH.com thought, which of these would make the best setting for a Zombie Apoc story? Note: the location listed is simply Ground Zero...
  3. Reverse Reformation

    The map above is wormyguy's map of world religions. In case you couldn't tell, the yellow is Catholicism, the purple is Protestantism. Here's the rest of the key. Anyway, the idea of this thread is how can we reverse the geographical positions of Catholicism and Protestantism? Obviously, this...
  4. Reconstruction Makes No Sense?

    Just a couple questions: - Georgia was readmitted to the Union on July 15, 1870... but they were allowed to vote in 1868? Why weren't Mississippi, Virginia, and Texas allowed to vote in that case? What made Georgia special? All I can find is that Georgia cast votes with no real reason behind...

  6. Election of 1789

    POD: November 1788. Washington is shot and killed by an insane man. The Constitution has been drafted, Washington and the Colonies have won the war, and let's say that it quickens the ratification process by a few weeks. So the United States is (are) formed. November 1789 approaches and...
  7. Superb Hancock takes control

    Meade was the commanding General of the Army of the Potomac throughout the remainder of the war since his appointment mid 1863. Is there a way we could get W.S. Hancock in Meade's position, or at least the position Grant would soon occupy? Once it's Hancock instead of Grant signing the...
  8. Let's make a battle...

    Ok, the scene: generic battlefield. Two opposing sides. The conflict: who gives a shit? We're having a battle! Two sides, you add on. I'll start: Blue Team: Major General Winfield Scott Hancock
  9. Napoleon-less world = Jackson-less world?

    So I did some thinking. Andrew Jackson basically went into politics based off his fame in the War of 1812. So without a Napoleon (and without a subsequent War of 1812 and Battle of New Orleans) would a world where the French Revolution went without a masterminded Corsican result with one less...
  10. A Serious Assessment: President George B. McClellan

    1864: George McClellan ran as the Democratic candidate for President against Abraham Lincoln. He won two states, New Jersey and Kentucky. Most often cited as his defeat were the string of victories Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan all enjoyed in the war just prior to the election. So assuming the...
  11. Republican Domination?

    I'm not entirely aware of the Bush/Perot situation that went on in the early 90s, so maybe somebody could shed some light on here. But I was always under the impression that Perot basically stole a lot of conservative votes that H. W. Bush would otherwise have gotten. So maybe go with something...
  12. Subtract One Isaac Newton

    Obviously, we'd subtract any of the works that Newton contributed towards. Most notably: Principia Matematica. So what does this change? -Assume his work on Calculus was already done by Gottfried Leibniz. Thus this work on Mathematics is unchanged. -Gravitational Theory. Newton took...
  13. Clause 2

    I have my own ideas but let me see what ya'll come up with: After much debate and arguing, the Founders finally decide to have James Madison write a second clause to Article III Section 1 which reads, "The supreme Court of the United States shall have absolute enforcement power in defence of...
  14. 5 Most Vicious Civilizations

    There have been many civilizations in history, but there are a few that are the most destructive, most abusive, and most horrifying enemies that anyone's ever had to face. Which of them is the most vicious? In chronological order: 1. The Islamics While I'm just about sure this is going...
  15. DBWI: The Georgia Invasion

    President Cheney recently stepped down from power to let good ol' boy Mike Huckabee get swept into the White House. This comes, of course, at a time when Huckabee's home state of Virginia is beginning to feel a little separation anxiety from the Old Confederacy. Of course, Cheney's casual...
  16. DBWI: Vice Presidents?

    With the Republicans finally deciding on Mitt Romney for their Presidential pick this year, the question comes up of course, who will be his VP? Mike Huckabee is a possibility, but they're both pretty religious which might be a little too over the top for moderate voters (although he is...
  17. Assistance on TL?

    I've posted a few threads on here about a President Douglas in 1860. My POD is in the 1850s where the Southern Democrats and the Northern Democrats reach an agreement on the Kansas-Nebraska Bill and don't split in the election of 1860. Here's a quick TL I have solidified from 1854-1902...
  18. Alternate Lives

    It's pretty much what Alternate History is, but I was thinking about some of the real alternate situations we could put historical people in. For example: Abraham Lincoln. In a TL where Benedict Arnold becomes the first President, prolongs the Federalist Party's existence and eventually...
  19. Alternate Halo

    For anyone who's read "The Fall of Reach" this WI should come to mind: What if John-117 recognized that the Reach mission was far more dangerous and decided to lead the ground Op and had Kelly-087 lead the space Op? How would the ground and space ops be any different? Who would Kelly choose...
  20. Election of 1832

    First, a short list of our American Presidents: Benedict Arnold (No Party) 1787-1797 Alexander Hamilton (F) 1797-1801 John Adams (F) 1801-1809 Timothy Pickering (F) 1809-1817 John Quincy Adams (F) 1817-1825 William Crawford (R) 1825-1829 Stephen Decatur (R) 1829-1831 Martin Van Buren (R) 1831-...
