I know they got as far as screwing with Poland and Hungary, but how much further could they go? Could the reach to the Rhine, or even the Atlantic? Could they burn through the Germanies and France? Would Italy and Iberia be in danger? Were the Byzantines in danger? The Scandinavians, even the...

Assuming Mexico and the Caribbean remain vaguely like OTL, what would be the difference in ethnic groups and ancestry in a British North America?

In a lot of medieval timelines and scenarios, you see England winning the Hundred Years War and there is a whole thing with the English remaining Norman and France becoming the center of the whole union anyway. How do the Celtic languages far in this scenario, if England still achieves control...

Yes, yes, I know: Salic Law, there's already an heir, she's a bloody peasant! But is it possible for France to be in such a ludicrously bad situation that it seems the proper thing to do is to scrap the old dynasty and put this woman on the throne? Heaven knows she deserves it, or is it just...

It is okay if the majority of Lithuania converts to Christianity, I just need there to be a way for certain populations of Lithuania to never give up Paganism. Basically, I need Lithuania to be an example of paganism successfully surviving to the modern day without having to be revived by New...

These do not have to be, and in fact should not be, from the same ATL. Any attempts to make people conform to a scenario will be met with scorn. A "feature" can be anything from a country, to a religion, to a culture, to a city, to the entire world. Descriptions of the little stuff, such as...

How can we get a United States analogue with cultural influence from the native tribes, in a similar vein as to Mexico or Peru. Perhaps one of the Great Awakenings causes successful large scale native conversion to Christianity?

How plausible is an Afrikaner style trek into the wilderness in the case of a majorly failed American Revolution?

How can we get it so that there is a substantial (say, at least 5%) minority of British descended people in the subcontinent? Note I mean all of India, so the parts that split off (Pakistan and likewise) can count as well.

How can we keep the Eastern Slavs still under the worship of the Old Gods? I am willing to weaken Byzantium and change up the native religion's structure a bit. I know surviving European pagans are a bit of a cliche but no one ever seems to consider the huge, fairly isolationist Kievan Rus as a...

Let's say, for whatever reason, Amerindians develop a sufficient immunity to Old World diseases. Why is not important. So, why does everyone assume this means the Americas are going to be colonisation resistant? Look at it this way: Africa and Asia were still colonised. Mughal India was a...

What effect would this have on various timelines? Would increased industrialisation in the area in timelines like Gurkani Alam magnify the devastation but speed up recovery?

I need the members of the Reformed Church of France to be settled in mass in the New World with a POD of no earlier than 1675. Essentially, I need to know how I can get Louis XIV more interested in increased American settlement while simultaneously not having the desire to keep the colonies...

It is known that the Icelandic people have significant amounts of Celtic ancestry. What is the latest POD we can get to have them speaking a form of Gaelic?

IGNORE. WRONG SUBFORUM.

Okay, so how can I, before the dawn of Islam, get the Arab population to convert to Judaism? I'm planning a timeline based on the results. Yes, I am going to butterfly Islam away. Sorry.

Has anyone read this tie-in graphic novel? It takes place in the universe of World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide, and it deals with all the major zombie outbreaks throughout history. It's technically a kind of "secret history" Alternate History. I read it, it is pretty good. The infected...

I know what you are all thinking right now. ASB. You're thinking that it is crazy and ridiculous for that to happen. But what people don't understand is that India was on equal terms with Europe for a very long time. What happened to India was the Mughal Empire collapsing while dragging the rest...

Let's look at some common tropes in Alternate History and Deconstruct them. This isn't so much about "this is implausible" but "this is plausible but would not work that way and you are ignoring crucial negative effects." Let us start with a common trope: The Ameriwank Now, is it plausible...

So, the moment I heard that this actually happened (did it truly happen, and when?) I thought: Must write Timeline. Is it in any way plausible for her to say yes? What would be the consequences? Wouldn't she have to convert? If it is plausible, I'm writing the timeline.
