What would be the best way of totally screwing Japan, PoD of 1864? Bonus points if it remains a third world nation to this day. Double bonus if China does a bit better in the Bargain. Probably not the best way to do research for a potential TL, but I've got my biases...

Before I begin this thread, I would like to give my deepest thanks to a few members of this board. First, I would like to thank @Oppo, who has been and will continue to be an extremely valuable sounding board, as well as the creator of these beautiful graphics. In his humility, he didn't want...

How could the WCW (and the Monday Night Wars) have survived to the modern day? Would Pro Wrestling benefit more from the competition or struggle due to a diluted talent pool?

Student: George Foles (Class 2019) University of Massachusetts at Amherst Course Materials for Hist 511- Ecological Parties and Politics in America and Europe Professor J. Stein I. COURSE OUTLINE The intention of this course is to study how Ecological politics have affected the landscape in the...

What it says on the tin. Is his moribund leadership given a jolt? Is Tony's career cut short? Does Britain even get involved in Iraq? Are the Tories blamed for '08?

Well guys, given that it is close to the 100th anniversary of the Kingdom of Arabia, I have a challenge for you. How would you guys fracture the Kingdom, with a PoD near the end of WWI? Would any of the states have something resembling the unique (except, arguably for Britain) form of...

William Hulbert was fed up. Fed up with the weak and dysfunctional league he had to lead his team in. He was reading the telegram from Keokuk, doing everything he could to keep from shaking with rage. How the fuck could a team fold like that, after only thirteen goddamn games, no less? He...

Prime Minister Edward Kennedy (L- 1971-1978, 1981-1985) shaking hands with United States of the South President James Carter. Governor General Thomas O'Neill and Californian President Ed Brown stand in the background.

If the SoCreds had managed to win a government, how would they have governed? Would they have followed SoCred fiscal dogma? Would they have governed as right-populists? And didn't one branch pass single-payer in Alberta? Would they have thus been of the left?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give a plausible PoD a great war that involves most of the nations of Africa, post-decolonization.

You Again? Allegedly. Where were you? Places. What is this? A timeline. Any more detail? You'll see. Really? Of course. Will I? Yes. You said that the last three times. I have become a better man. Really? Maybe... So what is this about? We start in 1980's Germany. Cold War? PoD is much earlier...

I was recently watching Adam Curtis' excellent documentary HyperNormalization. In it, I came across Curtis' idea that Hafez Al-Assad, not Gaddafi, was behind the Lockerbie Bombing, and that Gaddafi was blamed by American security forces because he was a cartoonish buffoon and not a smart, crafty...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make the UK National Front a major force, with seats in Parliament and local councils, and a major influence on British affairs. POD before, say, 1990.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to have Bush go after Cuba, Venezuela, and the DPRK instead of the Middle East. Bonus points if you can make Lincoln Chafee a main player.

So, I enjoyed TL191, as a whole, but I just found some of the political stuff shoddy. So, I'd like to endeavor to fix some of it up and build a complete history. Should be fun.

Soon...

Exactly what it says on the tin.

What if Tom Eagleton, due to his bouts with depression, hadn't run for the Senate in 1968, instead going into academia and maybe becoming a newscaster (he was pretty charismatic). Who does McGovern choose as a running mate? How does that ticket do? What if McGovern had stuck with Eagleton...

"Oops." That word rang in Charles Koch's mind every night. It was the moment that ruined the plan he'd carefully laid out for years. The GOP was weak, discredited by the crash. It didn't help that the only guy willing to serve as sacrificial lamb was a moron like Gary Johnson. Biden was...

What if Nixon chose Chinese-American Sen. Hiram Fong (who ran a favorite-son campaign for President in Hawaii in '68, making him the first Asian-American to win delegates for President at a major party convention) as his running mate in 1968? Would this have impacted the southern strategy...
