It's always a shame only Korea and China had the honour to have a divided country. *wink wink* I'm thinking something due to Soviet concessions in Europe, etc. Most likely just Hokkaido and a "Joint Occupation" that turns to become a divided nation after relations between USSR/USA turns sour.

OTL the French Revolution and the political chaos thereafter was hijacked by Napoleon, where he ultimately declared an Empire. The AHC is that, similar to the American Revolution, France becomes a stable republic where the government doesnt see a coup or a similar attempt for the next 100 years.

AFAIK Bismark understood Austria-Hungary to be a strategically necessary ally. With hindsight on WWI and how that turned out for A-H, to what capacity can Bismark or the German Empire after him help reform and modernize Austria-Hungary? Bonus if this makes help form a strong Austro-Hungarian...

Calling upon anybody who knows enough on European history. Both Germany and Korea sit upon the crossroads of their respective regions. (Europe vs. East Asia) Both Germany and Korea suffered massively from wars they had no control over(30 years war vs. Japanese/Qing invasions of Korea). Yet by...

Republicanism has always been connected with nationalism: as aristocratic and religious power decreased, power began to be centralised to kingdoms and kings - and with it grew a hatred towards kings. Would it be possible, however, to form republicanism in a non-nationalist way, leading to...

What if Harry Truman, President of the United States between 1945 and 1953, was killed around 1946~1947 by a Communist? I imagine it was far easier then to approach the president than nowadays; I can't think of this as ASB-level. Truman's replacement is either Sam Rayburn or Joseph William...

Inspired by this video: Now I just have to see it. What are the ramifications of the rare possibility where Norway turns Communist(Soviets take over Trondheim and Bergen, say, with submarines from Murmansk during WWII)?

With a POD in 0 AD, make Europe speak the same language family in 2000 years.

Was watching Man Men, never knew it was such a close race. So a WI. What if Nixon wins? How different would America's future be?

Which one? 1. The Korean War ends early as Kim takes over the peninsula, and the South Korean government-in-exile is relocated to Western Honshu. "New Korea" becomes Israel-ified as Korean refugees come to outnumber the Japanese and the once-majority becomes the minority. 2. Post-Cold War...

Around 1848 there were a series of revolutions led within major European cities which came to be brutally suppressed by European governments. What if these revolutions became successful? With a POD in the end of the Napoleonic War(1815), make the revolutions successful and democracy take over...

POD from the 1890s, here is the challenge: 1. Major alliances don't change, WWI begins in 1914. 2. The US enters WWI on the side of the Triple Entente(or equivalent) by 1915. Bonus points if Ottoman Empire is neutral.

Just a thought. Say that, out of some strange thought process by the Imperial High Command, the Japanese attempt a Pearl Harbour in the early-to-mid-1930s. How would Roosevelt, or Hoover for that matter, respond to the invasion? Would they recall the fleet to stateside and Panama? Would they...

Just a thought. Maybe before the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong, and hopefully as an established system, the British enact military conscription for Hong Kong. Bonus if it continues to present day.

With a POD in 1939, make the Polish Underground State survive the end of WWII and continue into the Cold War era. Bonus if they survive to the end of the USSR.

I was just wondering how it'd play out, if at all. POD is after Argentina first invades Falklands, and the challenge is to make them win the war against the British.

IOTL after the two invasion attempts by the Mongol Empire against Japan, the Kamakura Shogunate fell into disarray, as the samurai class realised the central government was not to give them rewards for the display of loyalty. What if an invasion was conducted in the early 1300s or 1310s to...

POD is 1800. I was wondering how different colonial policies by the imperial powers would be applied to Korea and be comparable with OTL Japan's. Focus should preferably be on how Korea as a colony would be ruled, rather than how that would come to occur. :p Get wild. Note...
