After the end of the First World War, many Revolutionary movements were forming. My question is how many of these movements can launch a revolution in their respective nations. Extra points if they can hold on to power. I'm particuarly interested if any of these can be successful: The...

What would be needed and what would be the consequences of a resurgent Macedonia? POD is between 300BCE-146BCE. Ideally the resurgent Macedonia would control all of Greece, some of the Adriatic and be a major rival to Rome.

So in 1934 the BUF held the Olympia Rally where 12,000 were in attendance. During the rally, Anti-Fascist protestors were beaten badly and brutally ejected from the rally. After the violence, the Daily Mail stopped backing the BUF and the BUF were badly hit, likely never to become a major...

How did a strike in Glasgow turn into a revolution? This TL tell the story of how it happened. From the bloody slaughters of Glasgow to the post revolution world, all will be explained. To begin we need to go back to Glasgow, Friday 31st January 1919 where over 60,000 demonstrators assembled in...

Here is the manifesto for the Labour Party in 1900. So how would they have turned out if they kept most, if not all, of the policies. I understand some were kept. I have put in bold the policies that I think would drastically alter the face of Britain. Not knowing a lot about the early...

So imagine for a minute that somehow the Republicans defeated the Nationalists in the Civil War. The CNT-FAI have almost total control in Catalonia for this scenario. What would happen to Catalonia? Would Republican forces attempt to overthrow the Anarchists? Also if a Republican victory did...

"It was the game of the people. What better way to unite the people after the war than to unify the game?" -Stanley Rous, Secretary of the FA 1934-1962 1945. The Second World War had ended and soon football across the United Kingdom would return to normal. However Stanley Rous, Secretary of...

Hey just wondering if people would think it would be good to have a thread entirely devoted to alternate election maps.

June 7th 1914, Sarajevo, Bosnia, Austria-Hungary Gavrilo paced the room quickly. Why would they do this? In ten days Illic would arrive with the weapons and we would wait until that Austrian bastard arrived. We could earn our place in history and those backstabbing traitors at Belgrade call...

In Easter 1916, Dublin saw the Easter Rising. After the battle, 220 civillians had been killed aminly by the British Army, 132 British forces were killed and 64 IRB members were killed. What if, the British Army was more heavy handed (if it's possible), or the IRB seize Dublin Castle and defend...

So what if the Labour Party never becomes a major party after the Great War? I was thinking that they could be like todays Lib Dems with never more than 100 seats. What do you think?

Not sure if this is the right place but what if the Halo videogame series was published as a series of novels at the height of the Vietnam war. Halo 1,2,3 and Fall of Reach would be novels while ODST would be a short story. Would the novels be anti or pro war? The Forerunner story could be seen...

What if, sometime between 1963 (reunification) and 2000, the 4th International became a widely recognized political organization, along the lines of the Socialist International. What would the consequences be?

To begin, I would like to advertise The Lion Roars by The British Scotsman, it's an awesome TL so go read it. Anyway this TL is about what would happen if the son of King Lulach (1057-1058), Maelsnechtai, deposed King Malcolm III (1058-1093). So here we go! The year was 1067. After 9 years of...

Ok so this is probably for those in the know, of which there may be few. What if after the death of King Macbeth in battle against his rival Malcolm Canmore, King Lulach (stepson of Macbeth) had a longer reign. In OTL he reigned 7 months before being assassinated by Malcolm Canmore but what if...

Hey, not sure if this is the right place but I know its been a while since we had alternate PMs and Presidents but why not post your own list of alternate PMs or Presidents. Heres mine for the UK. 1922: H.H. Asquith (Liberal) 1923: Stanley Baldwin (Conservative) 1924: H.H. Asquith (Liberal)...

Say no bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Allies chose to go through with Operation Downfall, how long would it last? My guess would be until Autumn 1946.

Your challenge if you accept it is to make the UK Conservative Party a minor party or about the size of todays Liberal Democrats by 2010 with a POD of 1918.

Probably been done before but the challenge is to create a great Swiss Empire in Europe (non-colonial) with a POD of 1820.

I know that it's not a well known area of history but having come from a family that fleed the Civil War, I am greatly intersted in it. Whilst it is very hard to imagine a way in which they could win the war, what if the IRA had a much larger force during the War of Independence and as a result...
