  1. Asian Nobles immigrating to the United States in the late 18th, early 19th centuries?

    Would it be possible for some Asian nobles to immigrate to the early USA? They would give up their titles of course, or hold them only ceremonially. Unless they arrive before 1787, then they could get an exception. By Asian I don't mean Chinese or East Asian in general, I mean all of Asia. So a...

  2. AHC: Entire Mediterranean gets invaded

    How could the entire Mediterranean be invaded at the same time, in one war?

  3. AHC: Post-colonial state takes form of neo-Roman Republic

    How could a post colonial state (like any of the nations in the Americas) be so Classical-influenced that it takes the form of a neo-Roman Republic (or perhaps Empire)? Preferably, they should brand their nation as a new Roman Republic, but if not, they can "merely" have most government and...

  4. AHC/WI: All Latin American independence movements are indigenous

    How could every single independence movement in mainland Latin America be headed by the "indios"? There can be criollo or mestizo rebellions, but they must fail.

  7. AHC/WI: Imperial Germany tries and fails to invade America

    What if Imperial Germany does try to invade America, but fails? Could Mexico or Britain participate on either side? Maybe even Spain? How long could the invasion last before it gets turned back and the US Army liberates occupied lands? What is the aftermath? Greater nationalism and...

  8. AHC/WI: Smiley faces in ancient/medieval literary tradition?

    What if, and how could, it become customary to append simplified 'emoticons' in written messages and inscriptions, in some culture between the years 300 BC and 1400 AD? Would this practice spread? What effects does this have?

  9. AHC: Roman obsession in Japan

    Have the Japanese nobility or middle class, with a POD after 1500, fall in love with the history and culture of the Roman Empire. Bonus points if they admire the pagan Roman Empire rather than the Christian Roman Empire (which would be rather easy, if they are converted to Catholicism by the...

  10. WI: No demographic transition, or frozen demographic transition

    Two scenarios. I admit that both are fairly ASB, because they ignore trends highly likely to reoccur in an alternate timeline, but they are not technically physically impossible. The statements in parentheses are attempted explanations of the scenarios, but they are not certainties, just an...

  11. AHC: The peasant king... of Kerala

    Kerala was one of the most caste-divided states in India before the British. The challenge: put a farmer on the throne.

  12. More extensive American assistance against French intervention in Mexico?

    How could the United States' assistance to the Mexican Republicans be more extensive? Say, 15,000 expeditionaries at least. Obviously this requires an earlier end to the Civil War, right? What long-term effects would this US-Mexican alliance have?

  17. AHC: North American Christians adopt Native American rites

    How could a majority of Christians in North America adopt Native American religious ceremonies and adopt them to Christian purposes? If needed, this could be restricted to Protestants, or to Catholics. (Protestants would be more willing to incorporate something new to the faith while Catholics'...

  18. AHC: Delay industrial revolution as long as possible

    How late can the Industrial Revolution be delayed? The later the POD the better, and the less plagues are involved the better.

  19. DBWI: Frederick Barbarossa died on his way to the Holy Land?

    What if Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I never made it to the Holy Land to bolster the Christian forces? Would Saladin have pushed the Crusaders to the sea?
