  1. AH Challenge: C of Cont Army and President Benedict Arnold

    As we all know, Arnold was cheated out of glory several times.... Are there any alternate histories where he becomes Commander in Continental Army then the first US President? If your solution has Patrick Ferguson killing George Washington in Sept 1777, more kudos to you.

  2. AH Challenge: Manchukuo survives to 21st Century

    There are no Aliens or Space Bats.

  3. How would President Dukakis react to Saddam's invasion of Kuwait 1990/91

    Do you think that President Dukakis would have done any differently than Bush 41?

  4. AH Challenge: Manchukuo survives to 21st Century

    With a POD of no earlier than 1930 and (you cannot disrupt the PROC from forming in Oct 1949), have the puppet state Manchukuo survive into the 21st century as a nation that joined the UN in the 1950s. What situation would allow Manchukuo's continuation after the establishment of the PROC in 1949?

  5. Another name for South America?

    In history, were there any competitors for naming the continent that contains Brazil and Argentina? If so, I would be interested in knowing.

  6. President Bush Jr. Assassinated in December 2004, what happens?

    One definite topic for discussion... Why did Cheney dodge the draft 5 times.

  7. Bentsen wins in 1988, Republicans win in 1996.

    I will say that a rising star comes to the national stage in 2000, Bill Clinton!

  8. A very James Bondian trigger for a Cold War crisis: the Soviets shoot down Challenger

    Wow, what a great idea for a novel or alternate history movie.

  9. Nixon beats Kennedy in 1960.

    The Cuban missile crisis doesn't happen at all. One of the butterflies is that Krushchev was testing Kennedy's weakness. He wouldn't have been testing Nixon like that.

  10. Defining "Alternate History"

    My classic definition of alternate history is SIDING DOORS the Gynneth Paltrow movie, where you see a slight change mess everything up.

  11. AH Challenge: Make the American President King of Canada

    Without doing the homework, I will say President Benedict Arnold, King of Canada.

  12. Minor alternate history!

    Sorry, then what if Washington State was named Jefferson instead?

  13. Minor alternate history!

    What if Oregon was named Lincoln (in model of Washington state).?

  14. Nineties PODs

    Salt Lake City is awarded 1998 Olympics Originally, SLC was trying to get 1998 Olympics, lost the bid, and awarded 2002. It becomes a terrorist target since security is lax.

  15. George Washington Killed in Sept 1777

    Benedict Arnold, the first President of the US? I thought about Benedict Arnold and why he turncoat. I think in an alternate history, he becomes a hero of our side, and has the possibility to become the 1st President. But then, his personality might be such that he wants to be the King of America.
