These questions are individual. Not corresponding to each-other unless otherwise noted. Some may be considered challenges. The PoD could be as early as 1848, if necessary, though I ask you stay as close to the date of the event in question as possible. Up until the Russian Revolutions, what...

I have a problem. I'm working on gimp for a school extra credit project and have run into an obstacle. How to explain my problem. Let me use an analogy. Let earth be made of two components: the mantle and the core; forget the other components. My concern is that I want to keep the core the same...

Alternative to the Manhattan Project? Suppose Albert Einstein is killed before he is introduced to Georg Alexander Pick; so roughly around 1911. This will prevent Einstein from successfully formulating General Relativity and would turn the man we know today as "as the father of modern physics...

Since the dawn of Alternate History, we have been wondering many things. However, we keep coming back to one thing in particular, a world where the Central Powers win the Great War. Threads pop up every single time somebody has a new thought on the subject, and I am willing to bet that most of...

Welcome to the Scratch Project; a collaborative mission to build our very own planet from scratch. We will begin from the ground up – from merely plotting our idea of Scratch’s outlines to designing a mosaic marvel of specific intricacies that make Earth so prodigious. All are welcome to...

Many of us speculate on this board if the Central Powers could win or not with Italy. We consider an earlier fall of Russia, a later if any entrance of the United States, and a later if any surrender of Austria Hungary. But what if the Central Powers still lose? What would the peace settlement...

I need help with a mini TL I'm writing: I'll try not too leak out too many specifics: With a POD no earlier than 1895, make Italy's power on par with OTL France 1939. Rules & Boundaries: -Must be diplomatically, economically, and militarily independent from Germany by 1940. -France is...

Civilization Network & Civlization V I recently posted about Civilization Network. Now Civilization V is announced. I am combining these two announcements into one thread instead of making two. Civilization V Announcement, Feb 18, 2010: Screenshots Official Site...

I usually hop around from one historical event to the next, but this question has been on my mind for a while now: How much land could Japan get in the Russo-Japanese War, by anyway possible? Here is the actual Treaty of Portsmouth: The primary objective of this thread is to determine just...

How do you look at WWII? Many Americans believe they did the most work in WWII. As do people living in the UK or Russia (believing that their respective countries did the most or won single-handedly). Now I can not understand how somebody can think one country won, or could have won...

I am about to start my first game of Web Diplomacy and was wondering if anybody else ever heard of it. It apparently is a risk-like game centered on WWI Europe and without the element of luck. I was hoping if you heard of it, you could help me out or if you haven't, we can join games together...

Now I'm sure I'm not alone when I say (type) that TR was my favorite American president in history. Now, I'm just wondering what his third term would be like had he won. During this time, there are numerous diplomatic dilemmas in which he would change the world: -Veracruz Incident -Lusitania...

People say they love Socrates; that he is one of the Big Three Greek Philosophers. And he was. But his influences were not great. Although not directly his fault, one of his student's students, Aristotle, paused progression for 2000 years. (I'll quote a book later). (I should have wrote a world...

The Alabama Claims: I made this thread to ask how much more could the US milk from Britain. I have no doubt in this mind that asking Britain to cede Canada was ridiculous, but could the US have got a lot of territory? Such as the Oregon territory? South of the St Lawrence River? South of the...
