What would the New Union Gorbachev envisioned look like? Would it be called something different? Or the same? Could I simply call it the Second Soviet Union? There is less of an escalation over the independence movements. Gorbachev is able to keep control long enough to get the republics to...

Yes, I was watching the movie... again... and I had thought of this ATL before but had never suggested it... What if such a scenario played out? Only, not entirely within the plot of the movie. Let's say that Commodus doesn't catch on to the conspiracy, and Maximus' army moves in on Rome, and...

Does anyone know how many Jewish people there were in the world, total, circa 1940 or so? I'd like to know what the the current population of the Jews might be if the Holocaust had not occurred (+6 million or so Jews) or if there had been less of a death toll (+4 million). I don't need anyone...

Please compare. What's up with this alternate universe?

Frederick Dannen was born in a tavern in Copenhagen, Denmark, on April 4th, 1743, to Adam Friedrich Dannen and his wife Maria Louise Dannen. His father, Adam was a wealthy individual belonging to the upper middle class, a naturalist, a political thinker, and a notary that had just moved to...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko He dies in 1919. What do you think the obvious changes will be, especially to the USSR?

Japan. How can you make it the most powerful nation it can be, with a POD after 1900?

Some minor accident in 1492 galvanizes opinion on the three galleons. Someone seizes power, imprisons or kills Christopher Columbus, and they begin the return to Spain. The momentous discovery would be delayed. Thoughts?

The History of the Latter-Day Saint Movement The Kirtland Safety Society (KSS) was a quasi-bank organized in 1836 by the leaders and followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was intended to serve the banking needs of the growing Mormon community in Kirtland, Ohio...

The Second Mexican-American War April 9th, 1914 – The Tampico Affair. Mexican soldiers make the poor choice of jailing nine sailors due to a language-related misunderstanding. It is sorted out, except for the fact that the Mexicans do not raise an American flag on their soil, and they do not...

Is the White Sea-Indian ocean canal possible? I'm thinking a stronger Soviet Union, stretching from Finland to India. Maybe? Maybe?

Well, its summer, I have more free time, and I'm not quite sure where to put it all... I have been interested in a few ideas, and I think it'd be cool if I got some input on what people want to see. Nothing Endures - Fourteen minutes before midnight struck, March 21, 1912, a light appeared a...

Someday I plan to begin a project in the AltHist Writer's Forum and show you guys what I am worth. I might just jump onto the Multiverse bandwagon, only with permanent gates and planar lanes, drawing from the ancient Alterverse idea (if any of you know what I am talking about). One 'plane' /...

I really liked this ATL. I'm sure you guys have read it. I just looked over it again. I was wondering what the timeline might look like up to the year 2006. Have there ever been any discussions on this?

The year is 1999. What if the Kargil War had led to a nuclear crisis? The USA doesn't get the proper intel on Pakistan for whatever reason, and doesn't realize they are moving in to ready nuclear weapons to fire. Pakistan gets the first attack. I'm sure this has been brought up before.

John Edgar Hoover sounds like a very ambitious and powerful man. He had his hands in everything, and kept a lot of dirt on many politicians to get his way. His connections to the mafia were supposed to be significant. Hoover's relentless stance on extinguishing radicals from the country also...

Why has there been only one nation that has used 'United States' in their name? After the creation of the United States of America, I'd like to see if another United States could come about. Bonus points if its in the Old World!

Is this at all possible? The challenge is: It can happen any time from 1950 to 2000. The POD must be after 1945. Austrian-German unification always sounded so cool, you know.

Prologue : A Point of Divergence Background The Germans were in the middle of one of the longest battles of the Great War, the Great Battle of Verdun. France had called to Russia to help relieve pressure on Verdun in early 1916, by launching an offensive against the Germans. The Russian...
