  1. WI: Carthage Decisively wins the Third Sicilian War

    What if Carthage won a total victory at the Battle of White Tunis? Say they lose 2,000 men and Syracuse loses 10,000 with the rest captured. Then Syracuse falls in its siege. What would be the consequences of this victory? How might this affect the Punic Wars and Pyrrhic War?
  2. WI: Inca Silver Mining at Potosí

    What if the Inca found that this area had lots of silver and began mass mining around 1500 CE?
  3. WI: McCain does not attend the first presidential debate

    No idea. I was too young at the time to know enough. Would it be worse for McCain if Obama was alone or with third-party candidates with him?
  4. WI: McCain does not attend the first presidential debate

    On September 24th, 2008, McCain announced that he would not attend the debate (September 26) because of the financial crisis, but Obama called him out. What if he had not attended anyway, and the first debate just turned into an interview of Obama with McCain's post empty?
  5. AHC: Simultaneous American and Japanese Economic Wanks

    With the earliest PoDs after WWII, but preferably the latest possible, improve the economic power of both the US and Japan without damaging each other (i.e. Japan still takes over the automobile industry, and thrives in information technology). It can be through anyway, whether trade deals...
  6. WI: ERE falls with the West

    What if the Eastern Roman Empire fell with the west? By the year 500, barbarians (let's say mostly the Huns and Vandals) and the Sassanids have control over all of the east with Constantinople, Antioch, and Alexandria razed. The whole of the ERE is pillaged and falls to being as wealthy and...
  7. Liberal Democrat Reagan in 1980

    Some have said that a Democratic president during the 1980s would have been a great thing for America and none of the Democrat Reagan threads really get into him having a presidency. That is why I was specific about him still being elected and also still being elected the same year.
  8. Liberal Democrat Reagan in 1980

    Somehow (no Nancy?) Reagan does not become conservative and join the Republican Party. After an unsuccessful presidency Jimmy Carter decides to not run again in 1980, opening it to Reagan. Despite the shadow of Carter hanging over him, Reagan is elected in 1980 as a Democrat. During his...
  9. AHC: Sci-Fi Wank

  10. AHC: Sci-Fi Wank

    Basically what it says on the tin; how could Science Fiction be more popular today in books, movies and video games?
  11. AHC: Nazi Germany viewed more negatively than OTL

    I am thinking of what it would have been like if they were worse. Just imagining a dystopia and how bad things could have gone.
  12. AHC: Nazi Germany viewed more negatively than OTL

    A challenge to have Nazi Germany and Hitler be even more infamous than OTL. A few things from WWII and before I was thinking was: - Albert Einstein executed - Large purges similar to Jewish Holocaust of more people deemed inferior; targeting more ethnic groups - Some cities razed because of...

    What if the pass around the end did not get intercepted and the Seahawks scored a touchdown?
