how could you limit how far the conquistadors went north from what is now Mexico city? How can you increase french settlements in niorth America? I had some ideas like, stronger creole/Cajun cultures and a Russian Alaska longer than OTL. How can you increase the strength of Creole and...

Bonus if you can get Cuba, Jamaica, Hispanola and Puerto Rico too. At the minimum, OTL USA, Canada and Mexico must be unified by the USA and not Spain :p

Well in my atl haiti is unified/has all of hispanola and black. The haitians push out the US and align with the USSR and allow nukes to be placed in hispanola. The same thing happens, the us threatens to intervene etc. And it does. From cuba and puerto rico the US invades haiti and uses tactical...

I have the Czechs be fully germanized to the point that they are no different than the Dutch. Germany wins WWI, gets the Netherlands to join Germany as well as the Czechs, German Swiss and Austrians. The Germans are ethnically cleansing Poles from border regions by deporting them and whatnot...

I wondered why that never happened.

in OTL Ukraine and Belarus became separate then 'great russians'. how far can you create new national identities? no dialect leveling? e.g. can you build a novrogodia or arkhanelsk identity or preserve it? can identities come out of principalities that last longer? Can you use the old...

I wondered: how would a Balkanization of the us into 50 member states (am not getting into ethnic of racial or religious states......yet) deal with splitting the nuclear arsenal? Would you all feel safe if Texas and the resurrected confederate states had nukes? What about Mexico s reaction to...

I wondered how effective this will be? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_propaganda_during_World_War_II#Negro_Propaganda_Operations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._E._B._Du_Bois#Imperial_Japan_and_Nazi_Germany http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Movement_of_the_Eastern_World

There were certain diversions in OTL where WWII was not so violent and destructive. Let's change some: Paris is WRECKED when the allies take it as the SS demolishes everything a la original orders of hitler. The rhine bridges are fully demolished as well as other POD like the soviet army going...

in OTL the mormons had a lot of shit to deal with the central government, and the governors sent had to deal with a lot of shit. This ended up going to the point of a war with the central government with skirmishes and battles and massacres. Now, how can you make this war stronger? Have the...

I wonder how you can do this. Yes i know part of this is future history but a lot of this is present and past. Say a war on Iran or flight 93 hitting the target. Remember you are mainly using the 'official' 9/11 story though you can get a decent amount of flexibility on that! Inspired by this...

I've seen threads on balkanizing Mexico by having the other northern rebellions successful during Santa Abbas reign or something similar. Anyone else have any other ideas like that timeline where northern Mexico becomes us member states.? Also why are there cities as separate districts in...

I was wondering what can happen for more non Russians to be in the russian empire as a percentage of the population. I know say the circassians can not be ethnically cleansed leaving what is Stavropol krai to be Circassian territory. Also Crimea could have more Turks on it and that the Turkic...

I was wondering what would happen to Berlin in that situation. Im sure the Soviets would try to conquer the rest of the city, but what else?

All right, I remember there being plenty of threads on changing da borders all around other countries, but what about AFRICA? How do we change the borders to be more 'natural' and fitting the ethnic groups living in the regions? Here are some examples I remember that might be good. An...

Well I was wondering how you can balkanize Iran. I know you can have the UK and Russia go and keep on partitioning Persia to the point of non-existence and the Soviet Union sets up nice ethnically homogenous states when its' formed. Would you say the Caspian peoples (like Manzaderni) to be a...

As you know, Russia engaged in intrigue and political dick-waving with Britain with Central Asia. How could you change history that Russia manages to outright annex Iran as well (possible given how Iran was chopped off at the edges by Russia appealing to disenfranchised Satraps) as exhibit...

I remember hearing of this obscure psychological condition that existed in the 1800s and it seems very close to what asperger would be today, just under a different name. Anyone remember this and think what the butterflies could do if that term sticks earlier? And/or Asperger's research is...

Well based off what people said about Ira Hayes he seemed very autistic (shy around girls; didnt interact with them a lot, high reading/"intelligence" abilities, could not stand the propaganda tour he was placed on after Iwo Jima to the point that he'd rather go on to Okinawa to fight there...

How would you go about making Japanese return to the nationalist military ways? Given in OTL many of the militarists got free after the end of WW2. I was thinking after the end of the Cold War Japan rearms, or does it after a resurgent China forces Japan to do so. Or a second half of the Korean...
