    AHC: Iran's Mediterranean Coast

    I debated putting this in post 1900, and even still I don't know how plausible this idea is. I was wondering if Iran could extend its authority over the Kurds, with geographic borders covering "Kurdistan" going to the Mersin to Antioch area of modern Turkey (not necessarily all of it). How...

    AHC: American Free WW1

    What would be required for the United States to not just stay out of the fighting in WW1, but to embargo arms sales to combatants, and outlaw making loans to the combatants? The US government must be publicly committed to neutrality from at least the start of the war. I have a suspicion that...

    Free Quebec - Irish Immigration?

    So Canada becomes a sovereign country after the American Revolution, and gets at least the territory of Upper Canada. When the Potato Blight hits Ireland, will the Canadiens welcome Catholic Irish to help settle the rest of their territory? How many do you think will come in?

    Greek Ionia, Russian Marmara, No Revanchism

    This straddles the 1900 divide. Presuming at some point, Turkey has an unforuntate turn of events. Greece obtains Thrace, Cyprus, Dodecanese, and a Megali portion of Ionia. Imperial Russia obtains a coastal strip of Anatolia from the Bosphorus to Dardanelles. Do you think they can avoid a...

    US State Density Requirement

    How do you think a population density requirement for state admission would have affected the history of America? Would this have delayed the sectional crisis? Would this have made more environmentally and economically efficient states? Would this have made less corrupt, more responsive...

    WI No AIOC Nationalization

    Suppose that: After WW2 Britain and Iran negotiated a deal that was much more profitable to Iran. Prime Minister Haj Ali Razmara took it back to Iran's parliament where it was approved.

    WI Britain stays out of Crimean War

    Rather than committing itself to the Ottoman Empire, let's suppose the British government concludes the situation is not worth sending young British men to die for. Britain makes its neutrality known, but still fails to mediate a peace. What happens to the world as a result?
