  1. Candidates for an American Napoleon?

    Let's say that the articles of confederation stick around a little longer, maybe a short war even breaks out between 2 states.

  2. AHC: A failed American Revolution, Napoleon takes over the UK, British Empire rebuilds in the Americas

    This was inspired by Code Geass. In that alternate history, the gist is that the American Revolution failed and Napoleon successfully took over the United Kingdom, forcing the British Empire to rebuild on the other side of the Atlantic. That anime is very fantastical overall, but it did inspire...

  5. Challenge: Colonial American history given nearly as much weight as post Revolution

    With a PoD of 1900, how can we have Colonial History get proportionately as much weight in schools as Post Independence? For my American history classes, we rarely spent more than a few days on Colonial times, usually spending more time on any given war. It seems strange that 160 years get...

    Socioeconomic and Geopolical Implications of a Monarchical United States

    ...in the wider world with this monarchical US? How would France develop? Would the French Revolution even occur at all without the American Revolution providing inspiration for Republicanism? How would this affect things such as slavery and its abolition? Would slavery be abolished earlier, or...

  16. Napoleonic American Revolution

    This may not be plausible but let me sorta propose this: Later in the American Revolution, the British are able to take the upper hand in the war, with a stronger southern campaign. The British secure the south, while Washington attempts to retake New York (which I believe was his original plan...
  17. AHC: either "NEP" or "Dengist" style American economic policy pre-50s without revolution or fascist coup

    So I was wondering, how far could America go towards a "state capitalist" economic system in Marxist transition countries, without having a fascist takeover, since there is some differences between fascist and Marxist state capitalist policies. FDR could be a good one, I don't think one...
