Basically, how do you create a situation where the Gallipoli Campaign is successful in knocking the Ottoman Empire out of WWI? Historically, it's regarded as a gallant failure (particularly here in Australia, of course). How could you potentially change the planning or whatever else to...

Don't think this question has ever been asked, so here goes: Your challenge is to create, any time in the 20th or 21st centuries, a scenario where the USSR launches an invasion of Great Britain. It can be during WW2, a hypothetical WW3 or any time otherwise. Is this plausible, and if so...

Basically, have the 'Joh for Canberra' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joh_for_Canberra) movement succeed sometime in the 1980s or later. I personally have no idea how this could be made possible, but hopefully one of the other Aussies (especially the Queenslanders) will be able to think of...

[RIGHT]I have no idea how this is achievable, but butterfly away the WGA strike of 2007-08, or at the very least have it occur for a far shorter and less damaging period. What changes with regard to TV, pop culture, film, etc? Does this mean reality TV is far less prominent than it tragically...

Basically as above, supposing Romney goes for a safer option and picks a moderate for the bottom of the ticket, does it have any effect on the race? IIRC the Ryan pick was what finally solidified the conservative base behind Romney and helped lift the campaign for a short period. Furthermore...

As stated above, supposing Osama meets his end at Tora Bora in December, what are the consequences for the War on Terror and the 2000s as a whole? Does Iraq still happen? Presumably Bush would cruise to re-election in 2004, but what would happen to al-Qaeda without bin Laden's influence...

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster. Pretty much as it says on the tin; What PODs (preferably after January 20, 2009) can result in the Democrats holding onto slim House and Senate majorities in 2010, and what gets butterflies away as a result? Cheers in advance :)
