  1. How might the Soviet Union deal with global warming had it survived to the present and beyond?

    Embark on an anti-climate change megaproject that makes it terribly worse.

  2. Could the Allies have replaced the Hohenzollerns after WWI?

    In this scenario, who is King of Prussia? The government of the Empire and of the Kingdom of Prussia were closely intertwined, and Prussia covered 3/5 of the Empire’s territory and contained 2/3 of its population (before being reduced after the war). Assuming any of this could be pulled off (big...

  3. What if Hitler's inappropriate pictures were leaked?

    The idea of the Allies air dropping Hitler porn over German cities is hilarious.

  4. WI: Straight Edge Stalin and Soviet Prohibition

    “Nay let a man euery houre of the day, or as oft as many in this countrey vse to take Tobacco, let a man I say, but take as oft the best sorts of nourishments in meate and drinke that can bee deuised, hee shall with the continuall vse thereof weaken both his head and his stomacke: all his...

  5. WI: Ron Paul elected President in 2008?

    Paul would, at best, get to appoint two Justices, and that’s assuming they don’t decide to hang on to keep him from filling the vacancy. I would imagine Stevens at least would do so

  6. WI: Ron Paul elected President in 2008?

    The President can’t just unilaterally cut taxes.

  7. WI: Ron Paul elected President in 2008?

    There’s a big difference between Ron Paul stumbling his way into the White House vs. the Republican Party adopting his philosophy wholesale. I imagine he’d get next to nothing done - there are compromises he could make to whittle down Social Security or Medicare, but he is not a big compromise...

  8. AHC: More Black slaveowners

    I can imagine a US where, for whatever reason, the concepts of 'black' and 'white' are codified into law earlier and more clearly. You can have this happen in the constitution, or in an early Dred Scott style case establishing the principle of the "perpetual and impassable barrier [...] erected...

  9. AHC: Lord Wellington assumes the Spanish throne

    The Spanish dish Carne de Wellington takes the world by storm.

  10. What Unique/Anti-Cliche Confederate Victory could i use for my ATL?

    William Seward is President instead of Lincoln and after secession institutes his dumbass plan to declare war on France and/or Spain to reunite the nation.

  11. Realistic Expansion of the Republic of Texas

    I feel like Texas's best bet is biding its time and getting its house in order, then striking during Mexico's next big freakout. If we assume there's a Mexican-American War, that's a good time to go after something, but obviously the US is going to take the bigger bite. If there's not a Mexican...

  12. AHC: Clinton loses the 1996 election through policy or political miscalculation

    I’ve always found it hard to believe that the party regularly returning Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms to the Senate would have turned out enthusiastically for Powell, especially against a southerner.

  13. Confederate Victory: When does the Confederacy become a pariah state?

    What I mean is, when and where did the US State Department say the Confederacy was “more favourable to Jews and Native Americans”?

  14. Confederate Victory: When does the Confederacy become a pariah state?

    When was this?

  15. Have Canada be considered a non-western country

    People are asking what “Western” is, what I’m wondering is what “Canada” is for purposes of this challenge? A state filling most or all of the borders of OTL Canada, and/or one that has some kind of significant shared history with OTL Canada? What I’m thinking is some kind of mid-18th century...

  16. What if Paganism survived?

    I guess the decline of polytheism really is inevitable.

  17. AHC: A Female Dictator

    Jiang Qing perhaps, if the Cultural Revolution shook out differently.

  18. Who would be presidential candidates for 1960 elections if Henry Wallace had succeeded Roosevelt instead of Truman because of Nazi victory

    Were they? Serious question. Lots of Americans didn’t like the Nazis, but I’m not aware of any kind of widespread terror of the supposed Nazi military threat against America.

  19. Japan buys Baja California in the late 80s

    Hard to see how this would help Japan, making the whole venture into more of a… Baka California?

  20. What if the Comanche were more successful in the 19th century?

    Just pop it right here in the thread! It will inform the discussion.
