  1. AHC/WI: Nazis take power, but don't get a world war

    Not sure if this has been done to death already, but I was wondering if, following the Nazis' rise to power in Germany, there was any chance of averting WWII, by either having more conciliatory allied powers (not sure if there was anything they could give that could make Hitler stop, but the...

  2. Plausibility Check: Industrialized Mahgreb

    Pretty self-explanatory, with a PoD after the rise of Islam, can the Mahgreb region industrialize successfully around the same time as the Europeans? As a follow up question, which regions are best suited to doing so? Would the region have a better chance united under one empire, or could one or...

  3. AHC: China Conquers India

    With a PoD after 1000 A.D./C.E., have a Han Chineese Empire conquer and hold the vast majority of India for at least fifty years (no Mongols, it has to be Han). Bonus points if it happens post Yuan Dynasty, and additional bonus points if Indo-China remains largely independant.

  4. WI: More peaceful Balkans?

    So yeah, if the Ottomans don't take control of the Balkans, and the area instead manages to achieve some level of internal balance while retaining independance (in the sence of not having too much interference from Turks, Russians, or Western Europeans), what does it look like? For our purposes...

  5. Plausibility Check: More Populous Iceland

    How populous can a pre-industrial era Iceland realistically get if the Danish government decided to put effort into developing it? I literally have no idea beyond knowing that modern Iceland houses around 300,000 people. Could it even support that many before industrialization, or is it a matter...

  6. AHC: Equal Numbers of Shiites and Sunnis

    Just as the title says, make roughly even numbers (both must account for at least 40% of Islam) preferably with Islam encompasing a similar geographic range to OTL. Any form of Shia will do (as in it doesn't have to be Twelver Shia).

  7. AHC: Fewer Middle Eastern States

    With a PoD after the fall of the Abassid Caliphate in 1258, how can we reasonably cut down and combine middle eastern polities? Ideally, I'm looking for cohesive nation states, not unweildy empires, and no colonization by foreign powers, but other than that anything goes.

  8. AHC: French population of one hundred million

    Just what it says. Can France reasonably reach a population of a hundred million by modern times? PoD should be after 1500.

  9. AHC: Culturally Czech country outside of Europe

    Exactly what it says in the title, how can we get a country outside of Europe to be culturally Czech, with the Czech language, and preferably a majority of ethnic Czech people among the population. I realize this is incredibly unlikely, so whatever you can come up with is welcome, so long as the...

  10. If No Columbus, what does Spain do?

    If Columbus doesn't sail for Spain, what happens to the Spanish? Obviously butterflies are massive, as at this point the Catholic Monarchs still have three living children ahead of Joanna la Loca in succession, all of whom had deaths that are presumably easily butterflied, or at least delayed...

  11. A Question for Our Scandinavia Experts

    Something that I've been wondering about lately (mostly because I think it may become relevant at some point in my own TL) with regards to the early modern or late medieval monarchies in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, is, basically, who can be elected as the new monarch? I understand that it was...

  12. Countries that benefit the most in AH

    So what countries do you feel benefit the most often in TLs relative to their OTL fortunes? Offhand, I'd put Austria-Hungary, Portugal, Russia, and of course our old friends, Byzantium and the Ottomans. Any others you think get allot of AH help?

  13. AHC: Rome the largest city in the Med

    With a PoD no earlier than 1400 A.D./C.E., make Rome the largest city on the Mediterranean (including adjacent smaller seas) by population, and let it stay that way into modern times. Bonus points for making it the largest city in Europe. Please, no responses to the effect of having Rome just...

  14. Surviving Byzantines Question

    Not so much a question about how the empire could survive, but a question about if it had. Since I don't want to suffer from the question of how it survives, I'll briefly detail a scenario that fulfills my requirements. We have a successful Alexios II (say Manuel I lives an extra decade and...

  15. AHC: Byzantine Empire With Modern Turkish Borders

    Pretty self explanatory, PoD must be after the Arab Invasions, bonus points if they stay that way until the 21st century.

  16. Countries that could have successfully united but didn't

    Just what it says. Lots of countries have formed successful long term or permenant political unions without outright conquest. Does anyone have any thoughts on countries that this could have worked for that never united IOTL? I'll start by saying Spain and Portugal, considering that the former...

  17. Plausibility Check: Interracial Royal Marriage

    Would it be possible for a royal political marriage to occur between a major european monarch and a princess from a powerful black african kingdom with a pod of 1500 A.D.? Also, the marriage should occur before 1900. I was thinking that the first step would be to have a powerful black monarchy...

  18. AHC: Sino-Roman War

    With a PoD of no earlier than the year 100 A.D., make the Roman and Chineese Empires fight a war against eachother. The war must take place before the year 1,000 A.D., and there must be some actual combat between them, though the location and whether it is land or naval combat don't matter. The...

  19. Plausability Check: Antarctica as a Prestige Colony?

    Just suddenly curious, does anyone here have a good idea of whether Antarctica could be used as a colony by a nation desperately trying to be recognized on the world stage between 1600 and 1900, in a way functionally similar to claiming large swathes of worthless dessert in Africa for prestige...

  20. WI: Romans don't decimate Europe's wildlife?

    What if the Romans, preferably after the empire has been established, decide to abolish animal fights in the arenas and/or otherwise institute game laws that result in larger surviving populations of European Lions, Bears, and Wolves, as well as anything else that disappeared or began its final...
