Had another one of my crazy thoughts while trying to fall asleep. What if the conquest of the Inca was seriously delayed. Say Pizzaro met with a misfortune. He came close enough on more than one occasion. Anyway, let's say the conquest was delayed, and instead of outright domination, the Incan...

An Alternate History of the Netherlands started its existence in 2008. After too many hours wasted playing as the Dutch in Europa Universalis II, I spent a few months researching Dutch history, both before and after the point of divergence in this alternate history. I could not simply write this...

Trying to fall asleep, I had a strange thought (my mind wanders quite a bit). How would have Trotsky handled WWII? -Would the Soviet Union have industrialized as fast without Stalin's brutal force? -What would the Soviet Union even look like in 1940? -Would the Gulag system be as expansive...

I was listening to this audiobook today (Revolution 1989), and started thinking about what the internet would look like in the Soviet Union. I'm not caring about how it survived, but what if it did survive until today? How would modern technology impact the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact...

Another idea I had at work, this time from listening to an audio book from the Cold War. I pictured a squad or platoon fighting its way to its objective in a charred and gray Cuba in 1962. It was a short story idea, of these soldiers heading towards their assigned target, fighting across a...

I had an idea while listening to Roots (the audiobook). There were a number of kingdoms in West Africa that rose and fell. But what if one of the empires didn't fall. I want to work with Songhai, since it was a contemperary to Europe's beginning conquest of the world. In reality, it fell in...

Here are the four major parties in the United States from An Alternate History of the Netherlands... wait, just bear with me a moment. I have the four parties and some of their stances, and just am curious as to how you would vote if you lived in this alternate United States. Yeah, the...

Yes, this about is about that Sweden. I want to know what my fans want to know about Swedish history post 1709, after Poltava. Thus far I have bits written about the Cossacks, about the Swedish take over and about the Swedish Orthodox Church. I am also imagining a Wild East, once Sweden cements...

Has anybody other than me played the game Making History. For those who do not know, it's a grand strategy game that takes place between 1933 and 1946. Basically, it's a WWII game, where you can play any nation. There is also an editor, which is the point of this thread. Has anybody ever made...

Like the title says, what is next? I think I'll end up only having enough material for a history report, as opposed to chapters. There is the VOC (might have enough for chapters here), Abbyssinia, and just what in the world happened to Sweden. As always, suggestions are open. As to just when...

For those of you who care, I have a few different directions I've been going with An Alternate History of the Netherlands, and want some feedback from my fans (and not just the Dutch ones) as to which direction you would like to see as Chapter 20.

This thread will consist only of the chapters of An Alternate History of the Netherlands. Do not post any comments or anything here; instead, visit the other thread. Prologue Today, the Dutch Commonwealth of Nations is the world’s Superpower. None can challenge it in the marketplace...

Well, since we are on the subject of states, what have you done to Washington in your timeline? The state, not the city!

I'm sure this has been posted at least once before, but what do you think would be a plausable or even creative State of the United States? This can be alternate states, proposed states, and even 51st states. I'll start with: 1) State of New Amsterdam Feel free to post your maps too.

The thread about the timeline 191 made me think of something. What would propaganda posters from the Worldwar and Colonization series look like? I want to see American, German and Russian and maybe even the Race's attempt at it.

I recall reading something many years ago (I won't say how many, for that would reveal my age :D ) that said something about trying to get America to join the Axis in 1940. Has anyone else ever heard of this? And if it did happen, what would the world look like? More over, how could it happen...

Simple concept. What If we had to invade Japan in 1945. Would it work? I don't think it would. I think it would have been a blood bath. The Japanese had thousands of aircraft stashed away in caves, saving them for the inevitable invasion. They would have targetted troop transports. How many...

This is from my Alternate History of the Netherlands, that I wrote last year. I'm still working on various other parts of the world. Right now I'm starting my chapters on the Union of Balkan Socialist Republics. Keep in mind this is only the 1st Edition. That means you don't have to nit-pick it...

Here's a thought. What if France, of Spain or Austria, or whomever, crushed the Protestant Reformation?

I have had an idea for a timeline bouncing around in my head for a while (not the sort of place you'd want to spend any time) and doubt I'll ever get to it. It goes like this; what would the world be like if England won the Hundred Years War and conquered France. How would that impact the age...
