  1. What if the Boxer Rebellion was longer and more significant?

    Recently I have been interested in the history of the Boxer Rebellion, particulary if it had been a long and disastrous war rather then a “short, splendid little war”. If the International Legations had been stormed and the diplomats killed, China’s general had stood behind their empress and...
  2. What if there was a more extreme and longer Boxer Rebellion?

    Recently I have been interested in the history of the Boxer Rebellion, particulary if it had been a long and disastrous war rather then a “short, splendid little war”. If the International Legations had been stormed and the diplomats killed, China’s general had stood behind their empress and...
  3. AHC: American Army has Italian levels of competence in WW2

    With a POD no earlier then 1934, make it so that when the United States enters into war against Nazi Germany they have levels of military competency comparable to Fascist Italy.
  4. AHC: More “White” Countries

    I’ve also completely forgot the op said no POD’s before 1850’s, which makes this much harder.
  5. AHC: More “White” Countries

    I think the best way to find a divergence where a recognizable version of whiteness could be found is Christoph Meiners “The Outline of History of Mankind”. This is where the word Caucasian is used for the first time, even if it some ways his idea of ‘white people’ is slightly different to that...
  6. AHC: More “White” Countries

    Expanding the concept of ‘white’ by preventing the rise of Islam is definitely the best idea to lead to more white nations. By doing so Arabia, Egypt, Persia and Turkey would most likely be considered white or at least the Byzantine Empire could possibly retain more of their holdings in the face...
  7. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    A powerful quote, made instantly hilarious that its from a Teen Titans fanfiction. What kind of fanfiction was that.
  8. AHC: European defeat, Pacific victory.

    Sorry, its Friday and I’m drunk off my ass.
  9. AHC: European defeat, Pacific victory.

    @Cabear has a decent timeline on this, even though there is European victory in 1960.
  10. Retain as much European colonies as possible

    With a Post-1945 divergence that can be resolved. China can’t threaten Hong Kong if China is a divided, poor unstable backwater. The best possibility is to follow the scenario laid out in Twilight of the Red Tsar. The Soviet Union collaspses into Civil War, China is nuked and Britain/France...
  11. WI: Anti-Colonialist Fascism?

    Didn’t Mosely heavily support British Imperialism? He wanted a united and sufficient British Empire. Seems like the opposite of what we’re looking for.
  12. Fate of Canada in case of Central Powers US?

    No. The point of propping up Canada and the Caribbean is simple, both these areas are invaluble and loosing them would be a massive blow to the British Empire. As for Gallipoli, look what the British were doing to there own troops at the battle of the Somme. It didn’t matter where in the...
  13. Fate of Canada in case of Central Powers US?

    I’m curious in this timeline what would be happening in the Caribean, given the British Naval assets and colonies there. In the event of any invasion of Canada the British would begin Naval bombardment of Southern Port Cities such as Louisiana, Mobile and Miami. Remember around this time...
  14. Which scenario was more likely in the 20th century?

    Either way, both would result in equal amounts of suffering and bloodshed. /s
