Hey everyone, so I've been tinkering around with this idea for a while, when it's been proposed in the past it's generated some interest, but not as much as I'd initially thought. The basic gist of it is...taking the initial POD for the Draka books and moving on from there without having any...

Here's a question for those more familiar with American Civil Rights movement than I. In OTL King applied to a number of conservative seminaries in his area, but was denied because of his race. However, not all conservative seminaries were so closed minded, two springing to mind are Westminster...

For your Reference... As far as I can tell this idea, which is admittedly a bad one, has been discussed before, but not as fully as I would like... Your challenge if you choose to accept it, is to have a Flight Deck Cruiser or "CF" built by at least one if not more navies. But that's too...

So...right now I'm sitting in my room in Tirana Albania of all places, taking a break from my language studies. I'm here in order to learn the language and do some research for my future graduate level research on Albanians who saved Jews during the Holocaust... But that's not the point...

Ok just an idea I had floating around in my head... wanted to bounce it off all of y'all to see what you think. Now as the 1960's drew to a close the RCAF was left with a pair of less than ideal aircraft the CF-101 Voodoo, and the CF-104 Starfighter. Later they would be joined by the CF-116 a...

An Idea came to my mind today, I want to bounce it off the rest of you guys to see what you think. Could the Venetian Republic have survived the catastrophic events of 1797 which brought an end to it in OTL? Here's what I was thinking, during the lead up to the French invasion British...

I was re-reading Peter Hopkirk's book The Great Game and came across and interesting tidbit that I thought would make for an interesting TL. Namely the fact that prior to the First Anglo-Afghani War the Emir of Afghanistan, Dost Mohammed Khan actively sought an Alliance with the British. Having...

Let's say that the 18th Amendment is "watered down" to only prohibit the sale of hard liquor, leaving lighter alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine unaffected. Does this significantly change anything?

Random thought popped into my head...forgive my total ignorance on the subject. Let's posit an ATL in which Humphrey wins in 1968, however the first two years of his presidency turn out to be an absolute trainwreck. Thus the GOP wins big in 1970 and manages to gain control of both houses of...

So let's say William III's horse doesn't trip on the mole burrow throwing him from his horse in 1702. He doesn't break his collarbone and develop pneumonia in TTL and instead is able to live another 13 years till he's about 65. How would this affect... -The War of the Spanish Succession...

While reading Flight from the Reich the author, Deborah Dwork, identifies the Peel Commission as "...one of the heartbreaking 'what ifs' of the miserable history of refugee Jews from Nazi Europe." She argues that had the 20th Zionist congress recognized the opportunity presented to them in the...

Ok, so let's presuppose as a POD that somehow the Allies manage to keep the Burma Road open during the Japanese invasion of Burma in 1942. (Any specific POD). They then proceed to reinforce the Burma Front with the express intention of keeping the Road open to allow for more Lend-Lease aid to...

Hey everyone, while reviewing an old story of mine about an alternate Charles Lindbergh who decided to fly with the AVG in WWII instead of staying put, I came across some of my own notes regarding the future of the story. The idea was to have Lindbergh influence the Burma campaign in such a way...

Hey...been wondering about having MacArthur and his posse getting their PT boats sunk while en route away from the Philippines. Who does the US send to organize their efforts in the SW Pacific? Would Eisenhower be a possibility given his prior service under MacArthur? Or is he destined for...

To be honest, I've always had a bit of a soft-spot for "Scoop" Jackson, and for a while in my politically formative years I considered myself a Hawkish Democrat much along the lines of the Senator from Washington. I've always been intrigued about what would have happened if Jackson instead of...

A random thought popped into my head today, thought I'd ask the board's resident Kennedy experts before skipping a study session and checking out even more books from the library. LBJ wasn't the healthiest of guys, he died shortly after he left office, what if he'd kicked the bucket a decade...

Littlejohn adapter I was reading about this the other night in an old book of my grandfathers. In OTL it took the British a long time to adopt this idea of a squeezebore adapter. The idea itself wasn't new by any stretch of the imagination and Janecek had been in the country since 1938. I...

What's a plausible POD to avoid the Korean War? (The later the better) What would be some ramifications? Would the lack of a Korean War drastically affect the nature of the Cold War or would some other Hotspot clause a similar escalation only later?

Just an idea rattling around in my head... It's common knowledge that the Supermarine Spitfire, though an excellent fighter, was not well suited to carrier operations. Nevertheless, a conversion was carried out and the Supermarine Seafire was born and though not well suited to carrier...

Background Alright so in OTL Wallace survived (barely) getting shot 5 times by Arthur Bremner. Let's say in TTL the bullets' trajectories are a bit different and they end up striking Wallace's vital organs. For the sake of the scenario let's say Wallace is mortally wounded and is dead by the...
