So... Based on a previous post I made, could it be possible for the US-Mexican war to have achieved a different result? Basically, the premise here is that Mexico suceeds in at least defending part of Alta California and maybe some of Nuevo Mexico. Could the US then just instead opt to...

As the title says, how likely would it be to have Boers (or any other Dutch immigrant in the same vein) set foot on North America? I'm particularly interested in seeing how would these Boers influence the (fairly similar) culture of the Deep South ante-bellum. Thanks in advance for any...

As the title says: How possible could it be for a war between the Spanish Empire and Japan to break out around the mid-1740s? Considering how isolationist the Japanese were at the time, you'd only need some ships to stray too close to Japan and be attacked, have someone important aboard get...

Could an Alternate Meiji Restoration have started earlier (Late XVIII to Early XIX, maybe even in the same timeframe as the Atlantic Revolutions than OTL? If so, what factors should be taken into account to make it possible?

We all know how the slaveholder's rebellion went. The fire-eaters just went in guns blazing to war, carelessly expecting to throttle the vastly superior Union and got smacked around as a result. The successes of the Virginia Campaign were nothing compared to the crushing defeats they got on the...

Today's question is: How could it be possible for Japanese exiles to find themselves on the Mexican Territory of Alta California and Nuevo Mexico in-between 1821 and 1846? I'm personally thinking this might either be Japanese Christians running away from persecution into a fellow Catholic...

Back in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, the Japanese Empire's Military were notorious for their honorable and humane behaviour when dealing with Russia, and later Germany, the POW were treated with utmost respect and humanity (The Russians practically like guests; and the Germans became...

Exactly what it says on the title. What if California's enormous Gold Reserves had been discovered earlier, during the 1820's as it was a Mexican territory or even before when it was a Spanish posession? Would Spain and/or Mexico actually developed the region? Would it have fallen faster to the...

The Rise of a New World Book 1: The Immortal Apu-Inca Prologue: The year was 1742… The place was an area in the west of what was then known as the viceroyalty of Peru, known as “El Gran Pajonal” (The Great Grasslands), which was the entry to the Peruvian Amazon… And...

So, I've been checking out some TLs that had Quebec join the Independence efforts of the 13 colonies (and even becoming part of the Union), and I can't help but ponder how plausible it might be... I can see Quebec fighting for Independence if the Quebec act doesn't pass and/or the Brits decide...

Ok... I will admit this idea is something I got from a game (Age of Empires III to be precise), and it might even border onto ASB... But I'm itching to know: How plausible would it be for Amazonian Native Americans to be able to domesticate wild cats such as the Jaguar (mainly for warfare...

Hello everyone. I'm working on a timeline with a POD in the 1740's. So I've been wondering, does anybody knows of the political boundaries of that time? I ask this because the Alt-History resources have maps of the world at 1700 and 1750. So I wanna know if there were any important differences...
