    Could Gallipoli succeed?

    The year is 1915. The Western Front has become a bloodbath and all hope of Mobile Warfare has largely been lost. France has devoted most of its available forces to holding the front and practicing their Attack at all costs doctrine. The BEF is still relatively small in comparison to the French...

    Islam in Japan

    Was there a time from the 14th Century onward that Islam could have spread and become the majority religion in Japan? My understanding is the Japan has contact with Islamic traders and fisherman by the time the Portuguese arrived. Could it have been more successful than Christianity?

    TLs on Muslim Colonisation?

    Question regarding Infrastructure in Africa

    I was thinking about the massive amount of geographical diversity across the continent of Africa and the lack of to my knowledge, significant infrastructural development in the 16-1700s. My knowledge of the development within Africa is pretty limited, but what issues in Africa made the adoption...

    Earliest Discovery of Germs/Bacteria/Cells/Vaccines

    I was thinking about how far medicine has come in the last 200 years. That the discovery of the title items have led to a medical revolution, in the way we fight/deal with disease and injuries. The discovery of germs\bacteria has totally changed how we handle surgery, operations or treatment...

    Reformed Faiths

    Are there any TLs or books that document an alternate history religion? Druidism, Hellenic, Nestorism, Nordic, Finnic, Slavic, African for example. Are there any resources about the reasons as to why these religions failed to survive while Islam and Christianity prospered?

    Islam in Eastern Eruope

    If the Byzantine Empire has fallen in the initial spread of Islam along with the Persian Empire, would that have opened up Eastern Europe for an eventual conversion to Islam? How set was it that Christianity would be adopted by Germanic and Slavic peoples?

    Alternatives to Russian Siberia

    What other nations had the most chance of taking and controlling Siberia to present day? Was it a full blown conclusion that Russia would take Siberia? Could Persia, China or any other nations take control of the region?

    AHC: Russia a better showing in the Napoleonic Wars

    My limited understanding of the Napoleon's invasion of Russia is that he essentially played into the hands of the Russian Army. That might be revisionist history though. The Russians allowed the French to move further and further into Russian territory and then bled them dry in set engagements...

    AHC: Austria Wins the Austro-Prussian War

    How would Austria win the Austro-Prussian War? To a degree to me this war was decided by items before the war even started. - Prussia has better equipment. The Austrian muzzle loaded rifle was not as quick or easy to use as the Prussian rifle. - Prussia had a much more developed rail system...

    AHC: A Scandinavian Union Post-1866

    Sweden is in a pretty good position in 1866. It's started to industrialise, it has absorbed Norway and to my knowledge there is still support for the idea of a Scandinavian Union. My understanding as to the reasons why it didn't was fear of Prussia and that support in Denmark suffered, following...

    Lets consider a past where Slavery as an issue is marganlised. Either the Anti-Slavery movements fails to catch momentum.

    WI: A US without Theodore Roosevelt?

    As the title says, what would the United States be without Roosevelt? More specifically, what would have been the ramification if in 1901 before Roosevelt was sworn in, he was shot and killed by a lone gunmen. Theodore Roosevelt domestic and international policy is still a legacy felt today...

    Islamic Conquest of France

    What was the most likely dates France could have fallen to Islamic conquerors and how long could they have held it? 721 seems the most obvious. The Battle of Toulouse pretty much ended all hopes for further expansion into Europe. If the battle had been won would it wouldn't have led directly to...

    AHC: Turn the Suez Crisis into a win for Britain&Co

    The Suez Crisis was arguably the proof, or a big contributor to the dissolution to the British Empire. To the British it was a huge loss in prestige and set a pace to how the break up of the remaining British Territories was going to be handled. It was also arguably one of the defining points...
