I gather from the Wiki that this is something of a cliché here, but anyway, let´s take a look at it. Let´s say that, either just the Yongle Emperor or all the early Ming emperors, Hongwu and Jianwen as well as Yongle, have this deep-seated fascination with and desire to find Mount Penglai...

From what I can gather about Britain in the 5th century, around the time that the last regular Roman troops (and provincial officials loyal to Rome rather than the province itself) left Britain, the Picts started raiding the province. After a while, a Briton king named Vortigern invited...

The challenge: create a situation where the Armenian genocide is as prominent in 20th century history as the Holocaust in OTL, and causes repercussions for the perpetrators - both the Ottoman Empire and "the Turks" - similar to the Holocaust for the Nazis and the Germans as a whole. Latest...

OTL situation: As we know, Mohammed Mursi won the 2012 election in Egypt and assumed power. He fairly quickly turned out NOT to be an EX-member of the Muslim Brotherhood, and after a year, the people had enough, eventually leading to a military coup against him, although one with the...

So, after a long absence I thought I´d like to give my pet timeline another try. Rather than continue where I left off the last time, I would prefer to start over from the beginning; I´ve lost my my note for the previous attempt at the timeline any. Also, rather than having a firm scenario in...

Okay, this is quite a bit tongue-in-cheek, but who says we can´t have a bit of levity? The challenge is this: take one of the following events, create a POD related to it and a chain of events leading from there to a war involving at least 2 internationally recognized nations. The POD cannot...

The purpose of this thread is to discuss ideas for the events of the Russian Civil War in my Century of Fire timeline (https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=183712). The short version of significant departures is this: - World War I was narrowly averted - Russia and...

This timeline is a revised version of the similar one I posted last year, which was called "A Different Wilhelm II". Prelude This timeline has two significant PODs, which are independent from each other. The first, less significant one is that the Confederates win the Battle of...

Exactly what it says in the thread title... what is the latest plausible date up to which the development of nuclear weapons can be delayed? I´m thinking that, had then nuclear physicists in Nazi service decided to take their research in a direction not prone to be weaponized, or agreed among...

The title says it all, I think. What were the factors that caused the Allies and Soviet Union to insist in the unconditional surrender of Axis forces? Specifically, what was different from WW1?

What would interwar-era warship design and building programmes have been like, had there been no Washington and London Naval Treaties? I can see three major consequences. The first, and most obvious, would be that many nations would have built more battleships - other ships, too, but...

Hi there, I´ve been playing with idea for an alternate timeline for the last couple of months, which was more or less what ultimately brought me here. The timeline starts with the idea that Wilhelm II, last Emperor of Germany, is not the sort of cocksure, megalomaniac fool he has shown...
