    PC: North-south bias to *Canadian US states?

    hey, all. this idea occurred to me last night and i wanted to get some peer review on it. a longstanding idea for my ASB ATL is that TTL's US annexed (roughly) western and northern Canada through methods that, frankly, are irrelevant to the thread question. it's pretty frequently brought up...

    "Minor Alternate History" PODs

    some of you may remember that there was a thread way back when that was subjected to necromancy relatively recently. it predictably got locked, but i thought the idea was well and good enough to deserve revisiting, so here's a new version of that. i also compiled nearly all of the original...

    How best to "preserve" the Chinese monarchy?

    hey, all. been a while since i made a thread like this, huh? for the record, i'm putting this here because the Chinese monarchy ended post-1900, but i'm open to any and all PODs that could lead to this result one of the bigger problems i've noticed with basically all of my worldbuilding...

    PC: Samuel Adams as first President of the United States

    hey, all. been a while since i posted any threads like this. i'm cataloguing some books i recently acquired and one of them is a biography on Sam Adams which is subtitled with Son of Liberty, Father of Revolution. while i haven't read it yet, (though maybe i'll actually prioritize it as part of...

    Help on developing alternate US states?

    hey, all. i've gotten back into mapmaking recently and, in particularly, i've spent a fair bit of the past few days working on what the alternate US states in my ASB ATL could look like. i'm generally satisfied with the names, number, and general placement that i've gotten for them so far, but i...

    Would any parts of a victorious Napoleonic France eventually break off?

    hey, all. third thread of mine today :p i'm going over my notes once again and trying to figure out exactly what the territory of European France in my ASB ATL actually looks like by the present-day rather than the ambiguous "it's bigger than OTL" that i'd had before (it has to do with a...

    Who could take Washington’s place?

    Hey, all. I want to try to cover all my bases for the United States in my ASB ATL and, a while back, I’d remembered hearing that George Washington might nearly have been killed before he was even born, having to do with a bolt of lightning coming dangerously close to his mother while he was...

    If Napoléon won, would Denmark-Norway still split?

    Hey, all. I forget where it was, but recently I learned that the former union of Denmark and Norway broke up as a result of the Napoleonic Wars (as a refresher, it had to do with the British destroying most of their navy to keep Napoléon from doing it, leading them to join the French instead...

    PC: In a failed Norman Conquest, would an influx of continental Germans make English "Anglish"?

    making sure i got this into the right subforum this time, (XD) i wanted to ask what everyone thought of an idea that occurred to me recently. i'm trying to find ways to further justify the English language ITTL being closer to Old English and therefore being called "Anglish" (more accurately...

    Would Leipzig be enough for Napoleon to win?

    hey, all. a long-standing concept for my ASB ATL is that Napoleon "permanently" won and was never sent into exile, ultimately leading to a French Hegemony over Europe which dominates much of TTL's 19th century history--for narrative reasons, i'm not going to change that. what i eventually...

    Were there any opportunities for Australian independence pre-decolonization?

    hey, all. i've been reconsidering some of what my ASB ATL looks like in part to deliberately make it a bit closer to one of its formative influences, Code Geass (that was the series that really got me into alternate history and the TL has had alot of similarities to it from the beginning, and...

    Plausible Russian/Soviet Secessions?

    Hey, all. I’ve been revising my plans for a distinct color scheme to my ASB ATL lately and I decided I want to cover all my bases on the potential alternate geography of Russia in particular. So, using these Wikipedia pages for some context and to try and stir up ideas…...

    If the Mughal Empire survived, what would it be called?

    hey, all. i'm going over my notes once again and i wanted to get some input on this bit of it in particular. i've long been planning for the Mughal Empire to survive through to the present ITTL, the gist of it being that the butterfly effect results in the Sepoy Mutiny turning into a full-blown...

    PC: War of 1812 - "US annexes Canada? Let's get back to that later."

    hey, all. this idea just occurred to me for justifying how and why the area of Canada could be divided between America and Britain in the way i want it to for narrative reasons. what came to me here is the idea that, since most of Canada was unsettled at the time, (at least as far as the...

    Realistic consequences of a successful Gunpowder Plot?

    Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, The gunpowder treason and plot. I can think of no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be ever forgot. Happy Guy Fawkes Night, everyone! ....c'mon, i can't be the only one thinking it :P for a site like this, i'd also hope i'm not the only one...

    Conserved Boundaries (or, "The Anti-Damned Kazakh Border")

    hey, all. in looking for new ideas for my ASB ATL, i read not too long ago that the Pinsk Marshes in eastern Europe have been so (relatively) impassible that they've formed a defensive border between Belarus and Ukraine for centuries. based on that, i decided that that particular border still...

    PC: If Mexico and Central America were united and US-aligned, would United Fruit be a thing?

    hey, all. this question is more spur of the moment than anything, but i think the idea itself occurred to me a while ago (the concept only just came back to my mind) anyway, as some of you may know, one of the long-standing concepts in my ASB ATL is that there's a revived Aztec Empire which is...

    PC: If William lost at Hastings, would he try again?

    hey, all. i'm going over some notes that i made earlier this year on the Norman Conquest and was reminded of a question that i'd written down to eventual revisit. to explain, one of the more important PODs for my ASB ATL is that the Norman Conquest fails, meaning that Anglo-Saxon England...

    "Required" colonies/ports to have others?

    hey, all. i read recently that part of the reason the Dutch colonized South Africa, particularly the existence of the Cape Colony, was because it was a major layover port for their much more economically-important Southeast Asian colonies. since i have it in my ASB ATL that France controls much...

    PC: Spain keeps Louisiana, and Britain sells Rupert's Land? (also Louisiana still becomes American)

    hey, all. this question isn't nearly as sophisticated as some of the others i've had (in part because i'm still waking up as i type this :P ) and just wanted to get some input on if it would even be feasible. so i've been trying to re-evaluate the territorial evolution of the United States in...
