  1. AHQ/WI: Expansionist Etruscans?

    One scenario that fascinates me is what if the Romans never rose to power because the Etruscan League beat them during the Roman–Etruscan Wars, which have absolutely huge butterflies regarding world history. I ask here if had they beaten/absorbed Rome, would the Etruscan League have expanded...

  2. AHC: Create a body of Folk Myths or Folk Hero for Asian-Americans

    White Americans certainly have their fair share of folk heroes and mythological characters (think Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and Fearsome Critters), Blacks have their own (Br'er Rabbit and John Henry), and Indeginous people of course have their own mythologies. However, to my knowledge Asian...

  3. AHC/WI: Upper and Lower Egypt not united

    There is some evidence for dynastic Ancient Egypt existing even before Narmer if I remember correctly, but what if it never became one nation and remained seperate, distibct ones? What would be its impact on the Bronze Age and beyond?

  4. AHC/WI: Nova Scotia joins the US

    I've read that Nova Scotia, part of Canada now and British North America back then, had a large population of americans in the 1700s and may as well could have joined the AmericanRevolution, but unregulated piracy against them prevented them from considering such. its a pretty simplistic...

  5. AHQ/AHC: Anti-Scandinavian Sentiments a thing?

    In terms of ethnic European cultures, Anti-Slavic sentiment has long occurred throughout history, as did Ant-Italian and Amti-Irish sentiments, where all of them were discriminated and persecuted against. However, has anti-nordic sentiments ever happened, where people from Norway, Sweden...

  6. Explain the AH Meme!

    Another one of them, mixing two of out passions: history and memes (you know the kind) to make Historical memes! I'll go first:

  7. WI: Bond crew dies in BOAC Flight 911

    According to TV Tropes, Albert R. Broccoli, Harry Saltzman, Ken Adam, Lewis Gilbert, and Freddie Young were in Japan finishing scouting for You Only Live Twice, when they learnt of a show they wanted to see so much they cancelled a flight. That flight was BOAC Flight 911, and it crashed near...

  8. AHC: Make Korean Mythology and monsters more prominent in Western Pop Culture

    Compared to its neighbours China and Japan, Korean mythology and the monsters of it have never achieved the recognition of the other countries' stuff. With China you can name Journey to the West, Chi, yin and yang, and guardian dogs, and with Japan, you have stuff including a buttload of Youkai...

  9. DBAHC/WI: At least one other Abrahamic Faith permits swine-eating

    Prior to the abrahamic faiths' dominance in the western world, wild boars were tamed and domesticated, being bred for food and their skins. However, abrahamic faiths like Judaism, Christianity, Islam did not allow the consumption of such because they're unclean and don't chew cud. Now before you...

  10. AHC/WI: South Korea as a Game Developer Heaven

    I know I maybe wrong, but compared to Japan and US/Canada South Korea has never really had a big game developer a la Nintendo or Microsoft. With a POD of 1980, change this. TBH, I think Samsung could easily e a good candidate for it in the 1990s and 2000's.

  11. WI: A Large Hurricane strikes the South before Civil War

    The POD: in the 1860 Atlantic hurricane season, the first hurricane of the season, IOTL cat 4, is much larger, instead being h a cat 5 on the scale of Katrina. You obviously know what's going to happen: how would this affect the resources of the southern states, and how much if at all the...

  12. DBWI: James Garfield dies

    When it comes to US presidents, James Garfield ranks quite high. Among other things, he is credited with advancing education and rights for African-Americans and compensating for slavery, and for ending the increasingly maligned patronage system. However, its a bit less known that early on in...

  13. Literal AH Descriptions

    Not to tread on AH Cultural Descriptions, but here we'll do a more literal thing, Jeopardy-style, like some describes an AH thing, and then the next gives a title and further details. For instance, try this: "The offshoot pantheon of an Egyptian colony"

  14. AHC: Make Scottish Cossacks a thing

    Just found this comment in this amazing video. Now, you have to make a slavic or slavic-descended group inhabiting the UK who are effectively scottish cossacks.

  15. Create an ATL Museum

    This may seem random, but thanks to both my love for things from dinosaurs to Atlas Obscura, I'm interested in museums, ranging from small local museums to the big metropolitan ones. So, the goal is to make up a museum. it can be one for an ATL municipality, or for an ATL subject, whether human...

  16. DBWI: Justin Bieber went into singing

    I remember a video or maybe of Florida Panthers player Justin Bieber playing guitar as a young child. One of them is below. It actually makes me imagine what if Justin never got into hockey like IOTL. What would both the NHL and music worlds look like if Justin was a music star rather then a...

  17. DBWI: Explain this map of Australia

    Found this map of Australia online while doing research for an online class. First, it looks like Beurleau [OOC: ATL french corruption of Boorloo] is part of the Australian Commonwealth rather then an often-contested separate country [1], and is thus a british country. Second, it looks like...

  18. DBWI: Mr. Plankton and Captain Krabs Swapped Roles from the start

    One of my favourite episodes of Spongebob Squarepants is The Algae's Always Greener, where Captain Krabs, after yet another unsuccessful attempt to plunder the secret formula from the Crusty Coral and from Mr. Plankton, ends up sailing his ship into a storm that sends him to an alternate...

  19. AHC: Make Male Same-Sex Marriage Accepted and Legal, but only Male Same-Sex Marriage

    Just an idea I came up with a couple months ago. LGBT acceptance can get pretty complicated in history. The idea here is that you have to make the western world accept and legalise gay (or bisexual in male) marriage while not allowing lesbianism or anything else on LGBT+ spectrum as IOTL. Why...

  20. DBWI: Effects of someone other then Roland Emmerich directing Airbender

    Tomorrow marks the tenth anniversary of the release of Airbender, Roland Emmerich's adaptation of the iconic Nickelodeon series, and believe me, I do think its pretty good. Sure, its not the most faithful adaptation, but it was still a solid fantasy action/martial arts film, with a hilariously...
