    Best PODs for More Federal/Divided United States

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but this is a topic I'm somewhat out of my depth in and don't really know where to start looking or researching so I figured I would ask so I could point myself in the right direction. So, what are some events in US history, preferably earlier but...

    Bomber and Tanker Accounts from the Second World War

    Hi all, I hope this is the right place to put this, but was just wondering if anyone has any good sources on accounts by the crews of bombers and tanks during the Second World War? The more personal the better, as I'm more interested in the day to day and emotions of it than the larger theory...

    Rhineland Resistance to Prussia?

    To elaborate, was there every any chance of major resistance to Prussia's rule over its western territories in the Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine, Province of Jülich-Cleves-Berg (those two later combined into the Rhine Province), and Province of Westphalia? After all, the provinces were pretty...

    Strategically Pointless Battles of the First and Second World War?

    Wasn't sure whether to post this in post-1900 or PolitiChat, but here we go. Basically battles pointless not necessarily in human lives lost (Stalingrad lost a hell of a lot of lives but made a huge difference) but that they didn't ultimately have much of an effect on either war and could have...

    Effects of New York City as the US Capital?

    Well, as more than a temporary capital, anyway, since George Washington and John Adams were in New York for at least some of their terms. Anyway, the question is as it is on the title: What would some effects on the US be if New York City is the US Capital, including effects on New York City...

    AHC/WI: Roman Empire Revival

    Given Justinian the Great's attempts to take Rome succeeded for a time, was there a chance for a true revival of most or all of the Roman Empire by Justinian the Great or his descendants, particularly if Theodora had given him an heir?

    Topographical Base Help

    So, I'm pretty desperate right now, but is there any chance that anyone has or knows where I can find a large topographic base map of North America? It doesn't have to be overly comlex, just something where I can show the topography for all of North America at the very least. Preferably a very...

    Taking Canada

    So, I have read numerous times in various historical books about references to the fact that the taking of Quebec by Revolutionary forces in the American Revolutionary War was, at the very least, possible during the American Revolutionary War. Now, with assent from the great El Yanqui, I...

    Soviet and Allied Plans for the Battle/Fall of Moscow?

    Something I'd like to ask for a new map series/mini-TL I've been looking at. I am just starting my research on it, so I figured I'd ask here if there were plans for Soviet and Allied responses to Moscow actually being invaded or even falling? The goal of this idea is to show that the war...

    British Reactions to Losing All North American Colonies post-ARW?

    Let's say, for a moment, that the revolutions in Nova Scoatia and the siege of Quebec, for various reasons, are successful and British Canada parts way with the metropole during the American Revolutionary War, whether toward independence or as part of the United States. Then, let's say...

    Best POD after 1754 for No Independent US?

    Lately, I've been researching a great deal of US history for an ongoing project that requires the 13 American colonies to never succeed in rebelling from Great Britain. While I've found some very good places to alter history to totally change things, I've had a hard time finding a single place...

    AHC: French Dominance Over Britain By End of the 18th Century

    A fairly simple challenge, have France, rather than Britain, be a dominant world power by the end of the 18th century in economy, military, colonies, etc. Mostly asking because I know a lot about Britain during the 18th century, but embarrassingly little about France in that period. :o

    After the Mongols, Why Didn't India Dominate the World?

    Something that's been bugging me for a while but that I lack the knowledge to really start on researching, but why is it that, after the Mongol invasions and devastation of China and the Middle East, it was Europe and not India who would end up dominating the world by the 19th century? Many...

    Looking For a Good Eastern Europe Interwar Map

    Specifically, one that includes Hungary, Czechoslovakia, White Russia/Belarus, Lithuania, and Poland for a map I'm doing. It's a map that will serve as the base for the map I plan to make, so the bigger the better. Preferably something like the image below, but including Hungary. I've looked all...

    Russian Army Reforms 1917

    I see the idea tossed around a lot of the Russians modernizing and upgrading their army by 1916 or 1917, but does anyone have some cold, hard numbers on what they were hoping for, and even better a source for them, be it a book or website?

    Muzzy Lane Games/Making History Series Thread

    So I've searched high and low on AH.com and couldn't find any threads to deal with the games that Muzzy Lane puts out, so I figured I'd make a thread for 'em. Kind of surprised that I haven't seen more talk about these games on the board, considering the love (and infamy) Paradox gets for its...

    White Dominions Without World War I?

    Something that I've been pondering lately, what would be the likely fate of the white dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa) without World War I? In OTL, World War I allowed the men of the white dominions to form their own national identities at places such as Gallipoli and...

    AHC: Prevent World War I After the Formation of Germany

    Yeah, a pretty simple, oft-used idea but one that I'd like to see some discussion on as I plan to make a map out of the idea. So, the challenge is to prevent World War I at any point after 18 January 1871 (leaving a little leeway in for, perhaps, a change in Germany's constitution) and before 28...

    The Decline of the British Empire

    A pretty open-ended question, but at what time would you say that the British Empire ceased to be the premier power/superpower in the world? While the British Empire certainly remained powerful for a long time (and today's UK is no slouch), when was the time period that saw Britain's decline as...

    WI: WW1 Delayed Until 1917

    Lately, I've been listening to the excellent podcast Blueprint for Armageddon by Dan Carlin of Hardcore History, which covers World War 1 in great detail and really delves into a lot of the lesser-known areas of the war. One of the things he mentioned several times was that Germany, in 1914, was...
