  1. What if - America waits 1 extra year to embargo Japan

    America was already getting pretty annoyed with Japan in the years leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor due to Japan's actions in China - the tightening of the Export Control Act, terminating the 1911 commercial treaty, and so on. But suppose that, for whatever reason, America elects to not...
  2. Earliest possible World War?

    Just wondering. I'm posting his here instead of post-1900 because there's a good chance you could get a World War pre-1900 going. In fact some argue that the Napoleonic Wars should be considered the first World War, but we'll leave that aside for now. What's the earliest possible timeframe to...
  3. WI/Plausibility check - Neutral Italy, WWII

    Title kind of says it all. Mussolini and Hitler initially hated each other's guts. The precise reasons don't really matter too much: perhaps Mussolini was just a bit smarter, maybe Hitler insulted Mussolini's mother at a Fascist powwow or something that both were attending some time in the...
  4. AHC: An Aberrant World

    Well, here we go: I went insane. Anyway. Throughout history, there have been near-misses: nations that almost achieved great power but fell short: Poland, Hungary, Ukraine...and so forth, and so on. The whole idea was based off of a variant for a board game called Diplomacy, called...
  5. AHC: Make this map real

    First, sorry for the crappy resolution. I am by no means a cartographer. Secondly, cool people will notice that this is more-or-less the Aberration map variant for Diplomacy. Anyway. The challenge is: using any, and as many, non-ASB POD's you like, make these nine nations shown here the major...
  6. Challenge/Collaborative Timeline

    Using any non-Batty POD's after Janurary 1st, 1775, make the world look like this by the year 1901. You can change the histories and personalities of some people as little as profoundly as you like. For example, you could have Italy retain control of Corsica for an extra few years, thereby...
  7. The Great War begins in 1863

    Carried over from this thread. The basics: July 13, 1863 Britain officially recognizes the Confederate States of America as a sovreign and independent nation. Later in that same day, as per her promise, the United States declares a state of war to exist between America and Great Britain...
  8. Requesting help making a flag: Empire of California

    More-or-less what is says on the tin: I need help coming up with a flag for the Empire of California, which consists of the modern-day states of California and Nevada, was founded in 1859, and the story itself that this flag is being desinged for takes place in 1901. Below is a timeline, but...
