  1. Felipe IV Dies Childless

    What would occur in terms of the Spanish succession Felipe IV manages to become ill and die childless in 1660, leaving the illegitimate Juan Jose as the strongest Spanish claimant to the throne. Do the French and Austrians get involved and attempt to claim the Spanish throne, as they plotted to...

  2. Carving up Charles II's Spain

    During the the War of Devolution, Louis XIV and Leopold I signed a treaty which would partition Spain in the event of the death of Charles II (the event which OTL started the War of the Spanish Succession). France claimed the France-Comte, the Spanish Netherlands, Navarre, and Naples-Sicily...

  3. AHC: Discover Radioactivity by 1800

    Radioactivity OTL was discovered by Madame Curie and by Becquerel in the early 20th century. Given that it is a famous example of a serendipitous discovery in Becquerel's case, could a similar discovery have happened years before? The Joachimsthal mines in what was Austria have been producing...

  4. WI: Mr. Hamilton's War

    So I had this idea for an Ameri-screw that I thought might actually make an interesting timeline. If this has been done before, please point me in the right direction. Let's assume that, for some reason, John Adams is persuaded into prosecuting and engaging the Quasi-War. Since Napoleon's...

  5. AHC: Reach Space by 1900

    I don't know if this has been done before, but it might be an interesting thought experiment. Which PoD(s) could allow humans to exit the earth's orbit orbit by the year 1900? What's the latest PoD which would allow this?

  6. Flag Challenge No. 59 Voting

    This is twenty minutes "early," but if you check my post time it's been exactly a week. Here we go (two days for voting, isn't it?): Flag Challenge No. 59 Countless separatist movements have existed, and countless have failed. Your goal is to create a flag for a new state created as the...

  7. Romania + Bulgaria?

    Is it plausible to have Russia create a Jugoslavija-style buffer state in the eastern Balkans, perhaps as the result of a Russo-Turkish war? If so, would it have any shot at stability? I'm thinking the Great Turkish War might work, as it's comfortably before the era of nationalism and the ethnic...

  8. Ameri-Screw?

    Has there ever been a timeline in which the US is smaller than IOTL? I've seen plenty of timelines in which the USA becomes slightly larger or much larger than its OTL size, but I've yet to see a timeline where the country does not somehow dominate the continent. There are so many things that...

  9. WI: Corps of Discovery Fails?

    Please tell me if there has already been anything covering this, as it seems like it would a a fairly-often-encountered PoD: Historically, the Lewis and Clark expedition encountered a good amount of friction with the Lakota. What would be the effects of a full-blown conflict early in the...

  10. Fallout Spain

    You know the drill. What happens when Spain gets nuked to the brink of oblivion? For that matter, do we know anything about Spain in the Fallout universe?

  11. What's with the US getting BC/Baja California/Sonora?

    It's come to my attention the number of TLs that include the US annexing BC, Sonora and/or Baja California. I dislike this notion, as as far as I can tell it would be impossible post-1900 unless some truly apocalyptic event forced it. My question is simple: why is it such an attractive/plausible...

  12. Antarctic Colonies?

    Let's assume that James Cook discovers and claims Antarctica for Britain in 1773. The ARW proceeds as OTL, and Britain needs a new penal colony. Would there be any reason for attempting to set up prisons in the sub-antarctic islands or on the continent itself?

  13. Dutch Bengal?

    Is it plausible for William III to have, in order to maintain popular favor in the Netherlands, reorganized the British/Dutch trading companies? Specifically, say, giving British holdings in India to the VOC and uniting the British East and West India companies for trade exclusively in the...

  14. British Rio de la Plata?

    In 1806 and 1807 the United Kingdom attempted to invade the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata. In the first invasion, British forces captured Buenos Aires and were met rather amiably by the ruling class. Had the British managed to retain control over the viceroyalty and defeat the Spanish at sea...

  15. The Great Deluge, or a Summary of Swedish Involvement in the Second Northern War

    It's back. After reading the comments on my first thread, letting it die, and revising my writing, I've decided to give it another go. This time I'll include more graphic elements, such as UCS maps and portraits, in addition to being more organized with the writing. Forgive me if some of the...

  16. WI: Austro-Russian War 1898?

    Or a similar time. Would Austria-Hungary's expansionism still exist by then, or would Russia feel the sudden urge to liberate Slavs from their rule? What sort of PoD would most likely cause this? Is it at all possible?

  17. The Great Deluge - An Alternate Second Northern War

    OOC: Hello, I'm new. After a week or so of lurking, I've decided to make a thread and get my feet wet. I put some research into the Second Northern War, and I decided to make a Swedenwank-ish TL. Please don't blame me if this gets boring or goes way off course from reality. The Great Deluge...
