  1. Anti-Immigrant USA: How LOW can the population be with OTL borders?

    Keep the USA the same size. What is the minimum amount of people the USA could have by 2016 for this to still be possible? How strong can this depopulated USA be? Some Founding Fathers, like Ben Franklin, were anti-immigrant, believing even Germans to be impossible to assimilate. I don't...

  2. USA owns Canada - What do the states look like?

    Suppose, for whatever reason, the USA owns the area known in OTL as Canada and it got the area relatively early in the country's life. Obviously, the USA would not arrange the land as "Alberta," "British Columbia," etc. What would the state lines look like in that particular area? Would the...

  3. Is Pearl Harbor avoided if the USA doesn't control the Philippines?

    Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because they wanted the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines were in the way. Thus, attacking Hawaii would weaken the fleet meant to protect it. Suppose butterflies make it so the USA doesn't control the Philippines after the Spanish-American War due to a stronger...

  4. 9/11 in 1993

    Suppose instead of the WTC bombing, al Qaeda decides to fly planes into the buildings in 1993 instead. The world is shocked and Bill Clinton has to deal with a major terrorist attack in his first year of presidency, similar to GWB. What happens now?

  5. How well does the "Atari Famicom" do in the USA?

    http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/07/time-to-feel-old-inside-the-nes-on-its-30th-birthday/ Nintendo and Atari were supposed to work together in the American market. Atari killed the deal because they thought Nintendo was going behind their backs to work with Coleco instead. It wasn't true...

  6. USA joined the Central Powers ... in 1917

    Usually, when this forum discusses a CP USA, it is talked about as if the USA is in the German camp from 1914. However, in OTL, Anglo-American relations were getting testy by 1916 due to the blockade of Germany. The situation only reversed itself due to the stupidity of the Germans with...

  7. Apple gets bought out in 1995

    In the mid-90s, Apple was doing terribly. It considered selling itself to other companies like Sun Microsystems and several others and it was only due to the fact that these deals fell through that Steve Jobs was able to come back. Suppose the company did get bought out. What happens to...

  8. Pokemon Red/Blue published by Sega on the Game Gear

    Game Freak, the creators of Pokemon, actually had a very strong relationship with Sega in the past before becoming second party to Nintendo. They made Pulseman for the Genesis and Sega still owns the IP rights to the game. It isn't out of the question that Sega might keep the relationship and...

  9. Britain and France Intervene in Syria in 2013 without the USA

    Cameron and Hollande were more interested in intervening in Syria than the Obama administration was. Would it have been possible for the two European powers to implement a no-fly zone without the United States at the time, or would it have been an impossibility?

  10. Grand Theft Auto is a Nintendo Franchise

    No, this isn't ASB. In the mid-90's, Nintendo attempted to create a "Dream Team" to work on the Nintendo 64. The most famous member was obviously Rare, who created the Banjo-Kazooie franchise and Goldeneye 007. A lesser known member was a small British company called DMA Design, known today...

  11. British False Flag brings the USA into WWII

    I was recently watching an episode of Deep Space 9, the episode In the Pale Moonlight. As Trek fans should know, there is a war going on, with the Federation and the Klingons fighting the Dominion. Because of significant losses, Captain Sisko and Garek create a false flag (faking evidence of an...

  12. USA owns more Pacific Islads

    The USA grabbed Hawaii, Guam, 50% of Samoa, and some minor islands (Howland, Baker, Jarvis, Wake, Midway) in the 19th century. They are all still controlled by the USA today. What other islands could have been grabbed?

  13. More French/Spanish gains from the American Revolution

    After the ARW, France gained Tobago and Senegal while Spain gained Florida and Minorca. Is it possible they could gain much more, either in the Americas or elsewhere? I know they did occupy several islands in the Caribbean before the war ended.

  14. Japanese-American War in 1897 over Hawaii

    In 1897, there was a crisis between Japan and the USA over Hawaii. McKinley was starting with the creation of an annexation treaty which pissed off the Japanese to the point where both sides were considering a war over the islands. Suppose cooler heads don't prevail and Japan goes to war to stop...

  15. Danish Rupert's Land

    Instead of Britain getting the Hudson's Bay, couldn't Denmark end up grabbing the region by extending its hold past Greenland? Suppose Denmark gets the region by 1670, butterflying British control away. How would this effect North America's development?

  16. USA takes Alaska by force

    How we get a situation so that the USA takes Alaska in a war with Russia? What would be the effects of taking it this way?

  17. Mini-WI: Sweden Keeps St. Barthelemy

    In the 19th century, Sweden owned the Caribbean island of St. Barthelemy for a short while before it became French again. Assuming Sweden kept it, how would its governance be today? Would it be integrated like France?

  18. Europeans Keep Slavery in their Colonies until 20th Century

    Suppose the abolition movement fails in Europe and survives until even the late stages of imperialism. If I recall correctly, Britain was still profiting from the slave trade, and only ended it for moral reasons. Perhaps slaver interests win in Parliament. Eventually, the "Scramble for Africa"...

  19. Spain Keeps Micronesia

    After the Spanish-American War, Spain sold Micronesia to Germany. Spain sold them because they were worthless without the Philippines. In OTL, Micronesia went Spain --> Germany --> Japan --> USA --> independence. What if, thanks to pure inertia, Spain keeps the islands after the S-A War? What...

  20. Televised Presidential Debates in 1964, 1968 and 1972 -- Any Election Changes?

    Even though the first televised presidential debate was in 1960 (Nixon vs. Kennedy), the subsequent three elections did not have any. We would have to wait until 1976 to get another. Considering how two of those elections (1964 and 1972) were landslides, I'm curious if things would have been...
