  1. Is the 'strategic/terror bombing never worked' argument true?

    I know that this is not strictly speaking 'alternate history', but thought that this will be the best place to have this discussion.... As a military strategy, strategic/terror bombing is when one side deliberately targeting civilians and economic infrastructure, often even those without direct...

  2. An Age of Peace? – A 1966 Kaiserreich Sequel
    Threadmarks: Introduction + Map of the world

    An Age of Peace? – A 1966 Kaiserreich Sequel (Special thanks to @pattontank12 and @Historyman 14 for greatly contributing towards the ideas over the years that made this TL possible. Also, to both @Danifa94 and @comrade cat, for being such great friends to me.) Foreword: Ever since I first...

  3. Art commission request: Artist for designing ATL banknotes

    I am interested in commissioning an artist to draw some AH banknotes for my TL. Is there any chance anyone here would either be interested in taking up this commission, or know of a good artist that I can contact? Thanks.

  4. What was the greatest amount of impact that Valery Sablin's mutiny could have realistically had?

    For those who don't know, on 1975, Valery Sablin, the political commissar onboard the Soviet frigate Storozhevoy, a committed communist, being disillusioned with the rampant corruption and stagnation under Brezhnev's USSR, talked most of the crew into staging a mutiny onboard the ship while it...

  5. WI: The Soviets ended the Cold War arms race during the 1970s Oil Crisis

    The following is an argument that I saw proposed by a history YouTuber from Mainland China: In this video, he recognised that while the Soviet Union was unlikely to have been able to outright win the Cold War against the Western world after taking into consideration the sheer economic...

  6. The biggest AH ancient China-wank in video game history

    An over the top, yet still endlessly fascinating and entertaining piece of alternate history media from my childhood that I wanted to share with everyone here on the forum... For some context, the following video comes from the historical strategy game, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX...

  7. Map Commissions?

    I am not sure if this belongs in the 'Request' thread, so I decided to create a thread on its own. I am planning on commissioning a few maps for my TL, and just wanted to know if there are any artist here that are open to taking commissions. Alternatively, if anyone have previous experience...

  8. Realistically, how long can a "President's Secret Book"-style document stay a secret while still be passed down?

    An idea that came into my head just now while I was having lunch at work, inspired by a movie that I have not thought about in over a decade (I am posting this thread here instead of in either the Fandom or ASB sub-forums, since as far as I can tell, there is nothing that is inherently...

  9. WI: Honecker accepted the asylum offer from North Korea?

    In OTL, during the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent German reunification in 1991, Erich Honecker, the General Secretary of East Germany, sought refuge in the Chilean Embassy in Moscow, trying to apply for political asylum in the USSR, but he ended up being expelled from the country...

  10. WI: North Korea wasn't hit by floods and droughts during the mid-1990s?

    There were many underlining causes that led to the infamous famine that hit North Korea (The Arduous March) from 1994-98, which killed upwards of 3 millions people in the country. With factors such as the loss of Soviet support and oil shipments with the fall of the USSR, poor government...

  11. Keep garum as a popular condiment in Western cuisine?

    So, as a total foodie, I was reading up on food history sometime ago, and came across the story of garum: The legendary Roman fermented fish sauce that played the same integral role in ancient Roman cuisine as ketchup does in western style fast food, or soy sauce in East Asian cuisine...

  12. The consequences of Britain declaring Hong Kong an open city before December 1941?

    It is widely acknowledged by many that militarily speaking, during World War 2 Hong Kong was literally indefensible from an attack coming from the north by the Japanese, due to a number of factors including the city’s massive population, and limited access to fresh water and food in the event of...

  13. DBWI: Would a massive famine in mid-1990s toppled the North Korean regime?

    Looking back, the North Korean regime was at it’s weakest during the 1990s’, with the country losing most of their economic and trade partners in the Eastern Bloc with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The lost of subsidized cheap oil from the Soviets hit the North Koreans particularly hard, as...

  14. If World War III had broken out, how would history have remembered Samantha Smith?

    Sometime ago there was this excellent timeline here on this site, in which the Cold War turned very hot between the East and the West as a result of the Able Archer military exercise in 1983. There was a part in the timeline in which shortly after the conflict started, famous leftists and...

  15. New AH novel from China: The Nationalist won the Civil War

    Just thought that I will introduce an alternate history story that just got published in Hong Kong recently and hasn't had an English translations yet: Link in Chinese: http://cn.nytimes.com/china/20151102/c02sino-chan/zh-hant/ Basically, the novel explores an alternate timeline in a...
