An interesting bit of trivia about Nintendo’s Star Fighter video game series: Now I can think of a number of tales, both modern and folk, featuring anthropomorphic foxes, wolves or birds-of-prey as protagonists. I can’t really think of many featuring sheep. So what if Nintendo decided to make...

Let’s say the British Uganda Programme succeeds in creating a Jewish homeland in Africa in early 20th century. Butterfly net ensures WW1, the events of 1920s and 1930s still occur more or less like OTL. With rising anti-Jewish sentiments and legislature in place in Germany many Jews flee to...

Just as the title says: create a TL were Theodore Roosevelt is widely disliked by many Americans & non-Americans and is considered to be one of the worst presidents in history of the United States of America.

A broad question: what internet memes that did not become popular OTL could become popular in an ATL? What internet phenomena could catch on in different timelines? What PODs would be needed for this to happen?

As the title says. Find a way to turn nations of Afghanistan, Somalia and Iraq into popular tourist destinations.

A strange challenge idea that popped into my head: Create a TL where Poland becomes a militaristic, totalitarian, “hermit kingdom” dictatorship. Average Polish citizen should have minimal contact with the outside world and propaganda should rally the population to defend their nation against...

With a POD after the American Revolution, is there any way for U.S.A. to become a country of ethnic-based states (e.g.: a majority-Irish state, a majority-Chinese state, a majority-German state, etc. where much of the Irish/Chinese/German culture and customs are preserved and...

I have seen many people on this site speculate and daydream about how an Ottoman Empire that avoided collapse would have become a global superpower once it starts exploiting its oil deposits (sadly I have not seen any timelines on the subject but that’s another matter). It is also often...

I'm sick of hearing "Islam is an evil religion; while other faiths may have some extremists Islam breeds terrorists left and right & only Muslims have widespread and supported organizations like Al-Qaeda and Taliban" argument. So here is a challange: with a post-1900 POD create a Christian...

With a POD no earlier then July 1898 (yes, technically pre-1900 but since most of the events would be post-1900, I post it here) have Nadezhda Krupskaya, Vladimir Lenin's wife, become the leader of U.S.S.R. Also, what do you think U.S.S.R. under her rule would look like and how would it develop?

There are plenty of threads about Soviet Union liberalizing economically earlier than OTL and surviving into the 21st century. But recently a thought struck me: if this was to occur, what impact would it have on the Soviet population? Although the population drain from the region in the 90s...

Just an ideal thought: Soviet Union had produced cartoon of many different styles – from Disney-esc to stop-motion to styles I don’t know the names of. But I don’t know of any Japanese-like anime cartoons made in the U.S.S.R.; nothing like, say, North Korea’s Squirrel and Hedgehog. So what...

Probably has been done before but hey, why not talk about it again? Your challenge is to come up with a scenario where Empire of Japan becomes a superpower in 20th century like U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. became in OTL. POD has to be after 1900, obviously.

In 1990s after the fall of Soviet Union and the mess that followed Russian Federation was seen for a while as a “satellite state” of U.S.A. This of course all changed with Putin. But even during its time as an American satellite Russia was never regarded by U.S. as a true ally* and remained a...
