  1. WI: Anti Slavery Roman Republic

    Historically Rome had no problem with slavery, and I would argue that it was a major driver of Late Republican expansion, as well as later Republican instability. What if that was not the case? I don't think the reason really matters, maybe instead of Geese warning Rome, it's a Slave (Supplicia...

  2. AHC: Make Hati a Success Story

    What it says on the tin. I don't know if there's a nation in the Americas that has had a worse run of terrible luck, incompetent leaders, and foreign meddling. The goal is not a Utopia, but your Hati should have: Stable Government and Succession A diversified and growing economy Inequality kept...

  3. Ideal OoB and Equipment for WWI Combatants

    So I've seen this a ton for WWII nations, but almost never for WWI. Which is interesting, because I feel like there are very dramatic potential PoDs in any WWI nation having some foresight in it's equipment. Like, could Austria Hungry have invested heavily in Tanks in the pre war? Could the...

  4. WI: WWI Delayed till 1920

    How does a six year delay affect the combatants alliances, tech, and outcomes? For the purposes of the WI, assume similar trigger to OTL, ie some damn fool thing in the Balkans. For bonus points, were the Alliances of OTL even stable enough to last another six years w/o a war?

  5. ACH/WI: The US never imposes any immigration quotas?

    So this might be a bit pre 1900, with the Chinese Exclusion Act and all, but what if the US never imposed any serious quotas on immigration? Let's say that the CEA gets dropped sometime in the early 1900s, and for whatever reasons (No red scare, no WWI, strong immigrant lobbies, well timed...

  6. AHC/WI: Russo-American Special Relationship

    One of the weird historical tidbits that's always amused me is the degree of positive relations between Russia and the US during the 19th Century, given that one was a liberal Republic, and the other a bastion of reactionary monarchism. There were decent realpolitik reasons for said friendship...

  7. AHC: Different Special Relationships

    Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to give the US a "Special Relationship" with a country other than the UK in the twentieth century. The weirder and more genuine the friendship the better, so a US / China special relationship in which the US considers itself China's "Little...

  8. WI/AHC: League of the Three Emperors Alt-WWI

    What it says on the tin. How do we get an Alt-WW1 with the League of Three Emperors on one side, and what happens if we do? Obviously Russia Germany and AH together are stronger than the Central powers were OTL, but assuming the French know this, they won't have any pressure to try for the...

  9. The Forward Saga

    Has anyone been reading the Forward Saga by Neal Stephenson and a million other people? I'm on book five now and I'm really enjoying the setting (13th century Eurasia during the mongol invasions) and characters, though the authors have a GRRM level of sadism when it comes to characters you...

  10. WI: American Tank Doctrine isn't Totally Misguided

    In OTL America drew mostly the wrong lessons in tank design in the run up to WWII, the whole TD/Infantry Support split was unproductive, then when the Sherman's did decently in North Africa, the US decided to stay the course rather than to continue upgrading, and as a result was behind in tank...

  11. They Came From the Sea: WI Hitler goes for *just* the Baltics

    I just ran into this gem on polandopedia Now, I'm sure this plan would have issues as well, but what would happen if Hitler tried it? To simplify the question, lets assume that this is the plan from 1933 on and that Germany is preparing accordingly. What happens?

  12. Optimal Navies for Great Powers

    I've seen a lot thrown back and forth on what ships were mistakes, dead ends, proof of the existence and malevolence of the Devil (I'm looking at you Alaskas) and all around bad ideas. So what would be an optimal Navy? Lets Break it down to pre WWI (Say around 1908 or so) and pre WWII (Say...

  13. WWI in 1934, WWII in 1959?

    Has anyone done a TL that moves up the date for the World Wars? Either or both of them, I've seen plenty of earlier World Wars, done very well, but few late ones.

  14. AHC: Save the hats!

    Right what it says on the tin: Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to keep hats as an essential article of men's clothing.

  15. WWI... In 1939

    So if Europe somehow made it to 1939 with the 1914 powers intact (though not necessarily the 1914 power blocks) what sort of Tech would they be fighting the war with, what alliances would have endured, what sort of form would the war take, ect. I realize this is a wide open question, so...

  16. AHC: A war delayed

    So in OTL Hitler came to power in '33 and by '39 we have WWII. How can we delay Hitlers ascension to power till '36? Can we delay the war till '41? Perhaps a WW II with the US in nearly from the start (assuming the US continues to provoke Japan, which seems unlikely to change. I realize I'm...
