What is the most likely scenario where one European country ends up controlling all of the Americas until at least the late 1700s. How do two entire continents under one flag develop from there? The first part of this scenario is the challenge I pose, and it can be done by any means. The second...

Dutch and French colonization model in North America differed from English one-number of settlers in their colonies was much smaller, making it more difficutl to overwhelm Natives with sheer numbers. What if simillar model is followed by England (less settlement, more trade with Natives)? If...

In one of my timelines, there are some larger countries in North America, Central America and South America, but few of these countries are comparable in size to the United States or Canada, i.e. there are few transcontinentally spanning independent countries in that part of the world in my...

What if the English and French colonies in North America were flipped? By this, I mean that the French colonize the eastern seaboard from Georgia up to Maine and the English colonize Canada and Louisiana. The Canadian Maritimes could go either way. How large would the populations of a French...

I wonder is there any scenerio when Denmark with Norway is more ambitious player in colonial race. After all, they are not strangers to colonization - they had colonies in New World via Danish West Indies. Iceland and Greenland are at least in theory not bad places to support travel to North...

Unblighted Americas This is an alternate history scenario where England doesn’t colonize the (mainland) Americas, mainly focusing on North America. The name is a pun on blighty, a nickname for Britain, and unblighted, a word meaning to not have a negative effect on. This is because, without the...

Traditionally the West and East Coasts are the most developed and densely populated areas in North America. So your challenge should you choose to accept is to make the reverse true and create a scenario where the the regions and cities along the Mississippi River and its tributaries in the...

Hello all! I am once again attempting to write a timeline. My previous attempt, "Even If You Stand Alone", became difficult to follow for myself, and had no background structure to it. For this timeline, which is a direct reboot of said previous timeline, I have worked on a Google Document to...

We all know the Master System, right? Its a 8-bit home video game console released by Sega in 1985 to compete with the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was a success in Europe and Brazil with the Master System's lifespan still going on in the latter country. However, it was a failure in Japan...

IOTL, Spain had had camel populations since the 11th century, brought over by the Arabs. After they began colonizing the New World, there were limited introductions of camels in the 17th and 18th centuries but nothing large scale. So, what if the Spanish had gone through with earlier large...

Map of North America in 2020 Map By AP246 (He is really cool dude go check him out!!) After a few posts relating to this particular timeline, and after a few asked for one, I decided to make a thread! This is New Luxembourg! Something that started out as a one off map I made turned into...

Chapter 1: The Great Kingdom It was a bright summer day in the city of Kahoquah. It was the a type of day where the warmth was cooled by a soft summer breeze that soothed the soul and refreshed all those who felt it; the type of day where merchants and vendors would gather at the markets...

Assuming a conflict arose at some point in the first half of the 20th century, likely from the USA facing off against the British, and for whatever reason Canada was unable to successfully proclaim neutrality (either because of American mistrust, some false-flag operation like the USS Maine, or...

A group of other AH fans and I work on an alternate history scenario on Discord and I want to hear your thoughts. It goes as such. Over 100 million years ago, the Farallon Plate subducted at a shallow angle under America. The definite reason why is still a mystery to science. This subduction...

Map Conditions: The US, by 2020 in this timeline, must have a population of at least 660 million. The US must have a similar GDP per capita and standard of living. The US cannot control more than its OTL borders, plus Canada, northern Mexico, and the Caribbean. This world's history has to be...
