  1. Ideas for British Argentina TL

    Hi guys, Summer is coming here in the South, so vacations are near and I'm planning to start from scratch my British Argentina TL. So, one thing I came to question is why would the British really settle after a 1806/7 invasion, and even if they did, how far would they go. My first conclusion...
  2. New Union Treaty: Aftermath

    As many may know, in 1991 in the USSR the government tried to save the union by what was called the New Union Treaty. Most off the member republics voted to join it and IIRC Ukraine was on its way to do so. The August coup meant this idea never got to be followed and we know how things followed...
  3. AHC/WI: East Germanic tribes staying in the Vistula

    As it says in the title, can the East Germanic tribes like the Goths, Vandals, Burgundians and Gepids stay in the area around the Vistula, nowdays Poland, instead of migrating? And if you think they can, what effects do you think this may have(assuming they don't go invading the Roman world)...
  4. WI: Pope Francis elected in 2005

    In the 2005 ballot among the cardinals Jorge Bergoglio came in 2nd place. Assuming in TTL he wins there, how do you think his papacy will be? Will he start a face washing for the church like he is doing now? Or will he be more conservative? Also, he would be 8 years younger, a lot for a pope...
  5. WI: George Gershwin lives

    The idea is that he doesn't get a tumor in his head at all, so he goes on with his life. How do you think this will effect the evolution of music?
  6. AHC and WI: USA with 90% White American population

    According to wikipedia, back in 1930 and 1940, almost 90% of USA's population were white americans. So your challenge is to make that percentage be the same in 2013, in a USA with the same borders, and see how that changes the evolution of American society and economy. The percentage can...
  7. Women taller than men

    What would the effects of women being taller than men be in the development of societies, the family, culture, work and gender relations? In this ATL, women are about 10 to 15 cm taller than men in average.
  8. AHC: Different German Partition

    With a pod no earlier than 1944, get Germany to be partitioned like this:
  9. Nazi Population Policies

    Suppose the Germans go white peace(they keep France and all the conquered territories) with the Allies due to submarine warfare, and to the USSR after a succesful Blitzrieg where they take Moscow and Stalin commits suicide. They take everything West of Urals and Ural river. Also suppose the...
  10. WI: Gardel lived

    A question mainly for South Americans and anybody who knows some of Gardel work or life. What if Gardel's plane didn't crash? -How do you think his career will develop? -How do you think tango will evolve? Will he stay in tango or change to other music style? -What do you think will be...
  11. AHC and WI: de Hauteville in England, de Normandie in Sicily

    The challenge is to give a POD which could make the "de Hauteville" as rulers of England and the "de Normandie" as rulers of Sicily. Then, what do you think would be the effects in history? Just different names?
  12. Italian Argentina

    OTL, most of the Italians immigrants who came to Argentina where from Northern Italy, especially in the XIX Century. What do you think would be the consequences if the North Italians all spoke the very same language and not different ones as in OTL? Do you think that Argentina could become...
  13. PC: Favorable peace treaty to Argentina after war with Brazil

    So, how plausible is that after the war with Brazil, Argentina keeps both the Banda Oriental and the Misiones Orientales? A possible POD, would be that while the war becomes more and more unpopular in Brazil and more rebellions occurs, thus diverting forces, in Argentina, the results make the...
  14. Algo habran hecho por la historia Argentina

    I will write a new TL, focusing in Argentina, going to change its history and trying to get the best of each possibility. Expect more information during this week. The POD is in the British Invasion. I won't have the British turning the country into a colony but rather giving it...
  15. Failed Cape Invasion 1806

    In 1795 the British invaded Cape Colony for the first time. They won an small battle and returned it after 7 years of their control. After that they invaded it again in 1806 with a bigger force. But what if this time Boers disliked the British rule and so they prepared for a future British...
  16. CSA secedes in 1820

    The Missouri compromise does not happens and because of tensions between Free and Slaves States, the Slave States secede and form the Confederate States of America. The separation is peaceful and the border to the West is set to be the Platte river, following the South Platte River to the border...
  17. British Tierra del Fuego

    The other day I was thinking why didn't the British settled in this Archipelago and did so in the Falklands, when the resources and climate of the former are a lot better than those of the Falklands. They also have a better position here as they have direct control of the Magalleanic Channel, as...
  18. East Germanic survives

    I was reading about the Goths in Wikipedia and it sayed they where from a third Germanic language group, the East Germanic group. So I was wondering what would be needed for them to survive till present as an important language group(at least 10 million speakers). Would it be easier if the...
  19. Italian Argentina

    Well this is my first thread so I hope I do it right. The situation is to imagine a way where Argentina can become an Italian speaking nation, with more than 75% of the population being of Italian Ancestry, and more or less how the country might evolve. It has to be after the 1853...
