  1. AHC: Make Yugoslavia work...

    Here's the thing, I have something very specific in mind for this: I want to make Serbs and Croats around 2010's to think of themselves as one nation, the "Yugoslavs". The POD can be immediately post 1918, or in the 1848-1918 period. If you really have to, you can go as far back as the...

  2. AHC: Romanian Szeklers, Hungarian Slovaks

    With a POD of your choice (but the more recent the better) involving the least amount of butterfly effects as possible given the circumstances, make it that in the 20th century both these statements are true: 1) Szeklers in the old Kingdom of Hungary, but especially in Transylvania consider...

  3. WI: Surviving Ottomans, modern(ised) Harem?

    I've been thinking about the Ottoman Empire for a while, since this thread by Indagare. I also have a soft spot for Greeks, especially the Byzantine and Ottoman kind. And so I've kind of mentally map a timeline about a surviving and successfull Ottoman Empire where the Ott. Greeks are still an...

  4. AHC: Byzantine restauration in the 18th cent.

    This idea came to me while reading on the history of the Maratha Empire in the Indian Subcontinent. Basically they shattered the Mughals and created a huge Hindu Empire in the 1700's only to be finally subdued by the British. So I asked myself: what conditions would be necessary in order that...

  5. AHC: Serbian Victory

    ... in the Yugoslav wars and in Bosnia in particular. I was thinking about this as a side-story while sketching a "restored Romanovs under Putin" timeline; in Russia, things are mostly the same as OTL as far as foreign policy clout is concerned till '98-'99, so it can't really be involved in...

  6. WI: No Maria Theresa...

    ... or any other child of Charles for that matter? 1.So, WI ALL the children of Emperor Charles VI of HRE died without children before his own death? What happens when the emperor dies? What are the larger geopolitical implications (starting with the situation in OTL). 2.I am exploring the...

  7. Help Required: Is Venice or Triest the best location for a naval base?

    Hey I am working on a TL featuring a surviving Austro-Hungarian Empire. The POD is way back in the 1900s, but the help I require at this stage regards the post-1900 period. In your opinion, is Venice or Triest the best location for a large Norfolk-like naval base in the WWII and post-WWII...

  8. AHC/Help req'd: A different WWI, a different Austria-Hungary

    Hello, people! I would like to ask you of how you'd view a different WWI, in which Austria-Hungary is stronger than OTL and allied with Britain. Who would be in which camp? How can I balance the 2 camps? But first off let me tell you what I have in mind: My POD is way back in the 1200's and...

  9. Colonial Empire question

    I know that people from all over Europe migrated towards the US and the American colonies, but as far as I know British people usually would migrate just within the British empire. Question: 1. Did British people ever emigrate to non-British colonies? 2. What would make Briton emigrate to...

  10. AHC: The House of Lusignan

    AHC1: Have the first House of Lusignan survive as Kings of Cyprus and later on become Kings of (the Cilician) Armenia but with minimal butterflies. If they eventually lose Armenia or Cyprus (but not both) to the Ottomans it's ok. If they eventually convert to Eastern (Greek) Orthodoxy or to...

  11. AHC: Less enmity between the Catholic and the Orthodox with minimal butterflies

    SO how can we have somewhat less enimity between the Catholic and the Orthodox with minimal butterflies? More specifically: AHC1: Can Alexios help the Crusaders at Antioch (during the 1st Crusade) with minimal butterflies? How much of adifference would that make? AHC2: Can we (maybe as a...

  12. AH Challange: How to fix some of the Polish-Lithuanian problems, 17th century?

    Ok, having abandoned my previous timelime featuring the survival of the Byzantines, I am in the process of cooking up a new TL, which will have a more Medieval plus Renaissance feeling to it (well, at least in its beginning). This timeline involves an X-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where X stands...

  13. Timeline in the Making - Survival of the Byzantines

    No, "Survival of the Byzantines" will definitely NOT be the title of that timeline - I'd have to think more on that. What I want to do is write a timeline that will lead up to a modern day world where a) the Byzantine Empire survives; b) it is a wealthy centre of civilisation; c) has a...
