  1. WI: No UCS

    What would people do with their time with no 700+ post threads discussing whether Russia should be green or gold?
  2. WI Lady Gaga did not want to take a ride on your disco stick?

    Would it interfere with her mission of heavy touching?
  3. WI George Washington had autism?

    For the sake of argument, let's assume history goes as OTL until Apr 20, 1789, when he becomes president. If George Washington had a social disorder, how would that effect his presidency. On one hand, speeches were primarily read in newspapers, so odd speaking habits probably wouldn't be as much...
  4. Stalin Note

    What might the Cold War have looked like if the 1952 Stalin Note had been accepted, and Germany was unite 40 years early? Is it at all possible for the west to have accepted it? From my understanding, the West was afraid that a demilitarized, united "neutral" Germany would rapidly be pulled into...
  5. Manhattan Commune

    I'm currently reading The Difference Engine, a steampunk alt-history taking place in 1855. I've also been playing Victoria: Empire Under the Sun. Both of them feature a Victorian-era "Manhattan Commune" (in the latter, it only pops up if there's a major rebellion in New York, or the owner...
  6. The possible role of computers in WWI

    OTL, computers began serious development around the WW2 era, where they originally served in grinding out artillery firing tables (eg, ENIAC) and bombsights on aircraft (eg, Norden bombsight). What if we were able to bring similar computers back to WWI? How would that effect the role of...
  7. Dawn of World War, forum-based nationsim

    A friend of mine is starting up a nation sim, Dawn of World War, and asked me to post this plug for him: I'm going to be playing as a slightly left/central Weimar Republic. It looks like it's going to be pretty fun, and the admin was a pretty dedicated player in the one nationsim we've played...
  8. DBWI: How could Axis Powers lose World War 2?

    I think something would need to happen to Herr Fuhrer Hitler. He was too intelligent and wise for the stupid allies to overcome.
  9. DBWI: Smaller Vermont

    As I'm sure you've all learned in your Vermont History courses (at least, those of you here who live in Vermont), before we became a powerhouse nation of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River, we were merely a small chunk of territory in what were, at the time, the British colonies of...
  10. Does anyone else find this ironic?

    --Colonization: Down to Earth, by Harry Turtledove.
  11. Large New York

    Piggy backing off of the "Big bad New England" thread, how could New York get all of the Midwest (including territory not in its original claim, like Wisconsin)?
  12. Sealand gets territory on the British mainland

    How could Sealand get territory on the British mainland? It must include, at the very least, a full village of 1000+ people, so it can't just be a house the royal family owns and claims is part of Sealand. This territory must be recognized by Britain as Sealand's. POD no earlier than 1940.
  13. What could've swung America into joining the Central Powers in WWI?

    I'm just curious; I recall that America was kind of torn between the two sides (obviously more pro-Entente, but with strong pro-Central sympathies). What could've pushed us into the Central camp? Preferably as small a change as possible, please.
  14. DBWI: What if left-handed people weren't recognized as the prophets they are?

    As you all know, left-handed people have the gift of the gods; they are far superior to right-handers like myself, and most of the posters here. Now, as hard as it is to imagine, thousands of years ago, left-handed people were actually considered evil, because they were considered abnormal...
  15. Recommendations for an AH newb

    Greetings! I'm relatively new to alternate history. I've read all of Harry Turtledove's Timeline-191 series up to Settling Accounts quadrilogy (I'm planning on starting that in a couple of days), Turtledove's Ruled Britannica, Newt Gingrich's "Gettysburg," (I have Grant Comes East, and am going...
