  1. Other locations for agriucultural development?

    According to sources I've found, locations where agriculture was developed independently are; the Fertile Crescent, China, The New Guinea Highlands, somewhere in the Sahel, central Mexico, the Northern Andes and in Eastern North America. I have two questions. 1) Are there any other locations...

  2. WI: No Corn Law Split?

    During the period from 1820 onwards, there was strong opposition to the existence of the Corn Laws, particularly after 1841 when Richard Cobden was elected to Parliament. It was he who Peel described as the main driving force behind the Repeal of the Corn Laws, and John Bright was his main ally...

  3. WI: No Plague of Justinian?

    As the title says, what if the Plague of Justinian never occurred (this includes any reruns down the centuries). While this might be ASB, for the sake of the discussion assume no disease steps in to fill the gap. Would the Eastern Roman Empire have been more successful? Could it have retaken...

  4. AHC: Russia -British Cold War

    Here's a challenge for you - find a way to make it so that, after the end of a WWII analog, the two major powers in the World are Russia (Tsarist, Communist, whatever) and the British Empire/Commonwealth, and that they promptly get into a Cold War. The British Empire has to have broadly the same...

  5. Stalin Dies in London in 1907?

    I was just reading Andrew Marrs The Making of Modern Britain, and in the chapter on trade unions and the growth of Labour pre-WWI it descibes a meeting between leading communists (Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin etc) in London in 1907. Apparently Stalin, already a hardened gangster, almost got beaten...

  6. AHC: More Widespread Judaism

    Here is a challenge for you. Wikipedia currently states that Judaism has 13.4 million adherents as of 2010, and the only nation where it is a state religion/major religion is Israel. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have Judaism have at least 65 million adherents (5...

  7. Mohism victorious?

    Not sure if this has been asked before, but what would China and the world be like if Mohism had become the dominant school of thought in China, rather than Confucianism? Also, what PoD could cause this?

  8. Balkanised France

    How would you go about Balkanising France, i.e. what PoD, and what effects would it have. Note that by France, I mean that the area still has to be regarded as France, even with multiple nations, so the PoD is probable 1000 AD or later.

  9. France Loses Battle of Bouvines

    I was wondering what would happen if France lost the Battle of Bouvines in 1214. As far as I can see, the alliance under Otto had more men and it was a lack of discipline under Otto and better French generalship that caused France to win. So what if they lost. I wonder if King John would do...

  10. Stronger Russia pre-WW1

    Me and a friend are planning a TL, mostly for our own amusement, where Russia develops, economically and politically, a lot faster in the decades pre-WW1. One of our possible PoDs is Alexander II surviving his assassination and surviving to implement the Duma (although this isn't definite)...
