  1. WI the West had enacted race-blind policies?

    Rather then the stupidity which is affirmative action.
  2. A challenge: Have New Guinea advance significantly further on its own.

    They were one of the first regions to develop agriculture, and indeed they advanced well beyond the primitive stage independantly- according to Wackypedia " Complex mulches, crop rotations and tillages were used in rotation on terraces with complex irrigation systems. Western agronomists still...
  3. Did the British have an ulterior method for crushing the slave trade?

    It surprises me that the government would take such a clearly moral stance...I suppose I'm too cynical, but I can't help but wonder if they had an ulterior motive? And, as an AH scenario, what if they hadn't?
  4. In the event of a succesful Napoleonic Invasion of Russia: Results?

    In case the title doesn't make it obvious- assuming the scenario that Napoleons invasion of Russia prior to the war of the 6th Coalition was succesful(for simplicities sake, assume a decisive victory at Borodino rather then the pyrrhic one of OTL), what treaty terms would likely be agreed upon...
  5. Could the Arabic civilisation have remained the preeminent one?

    Could it have done so? The asiest way might be for the Islamic Spaniards to maintain their position in Spain-but would that be enough for the Arab's to remain the supreme civilisation of Western Eurasia?
  6. Could the Incan Empire survive less the Spanish conquest?

    Could the Incan Empire survive even if it avoided the Spanish conquest? The Incan Empire, was also perhaps the olny Amerindian state that had a real chance of maintaining its independance in the face of Spanish Imperialism. One of the biggest problems is, however, the Eurasian diseases. These...
  7. What if British India had been divided differently?

  8. Putting some spice on white bread- A less bland Australian history?

    From my understanding of it, and most of you will probably agree, Australia's history has been fairly bland. The aboriginals dwelt here but did very little for 20000 years or so... then the British came, fended of some meager French competion, settled Australia. They persecuted some natives...
  9. Some Potential POD's leading to an independant Aceh

    Hey. I was reading a forum known as "All Empires", and found an interesting post from a guy called Sander. He is quoted below. I don't know about you, but this seems to have a number of cool possible divergences. Namely: 1)What if Aceh had succeeded in besieging Portuguese Mallacca, thus...
  10. What if extensive unclaimed land still existed?

    Up until very recently, much of Africa(and other parts of the world) was unclaimed by any state. Apart from a chunk of Antartica, however, that is no longer the case. So, would their be a reasonable chance with any divergence within the last 250 years for their to remain extensive...
  11. Mayan Conquests- A timeline about(you guessed it) Mayan conquests.

    Hey- as you can probably see, my name-tag is Fatal Wit. I'm not quite sure how I should introduce myself- I suppose "I find alternate history interesting" will suffice? Anyway, I've been planning a TL for a few weeks- I may have the first part ready by the end of today but I doubt it...
