    AHC: California remains a red state

    How would you keep the state that elected Reagan as governor still majority Republican even to the modern day, and what would change as a result of it?

    WI: Charles I dies in 1641

    In August 1641, a minor plague broke out in Westminster while Charles I was facing rebels in Scotland. What if he delayed that trip, and the plague was worse? Also, two sub-what if's: - his children don't get the plague and are next in line - they do get in and die and someone else gets in line

    AHC: Technocracy Movement successful

    The Technocracy Movement was got some traction in the early 20th century but was a largely marginal movement. What might cause it to take off and become a major national movement? I'm guessing that eliminating Howard Scott's embarrassing 1933 speech and making a better case would make a better...

    Red Flood

    Noticed that there wasn't a thread for this, so I'm making one. For those who don't know, Red Flood is a Hearts of Iron IV mod, originally a spin-off of the Kaiserreich mod before spinning off into its own thing. In it, no one really wins WWI, creating a world where a successful Spartacist...

    1969 Nuclear War Between China and Russia

    https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/1969-russia-and-china-nearly-went-nuclear-war-199000 This is a pretty interesting scenario. Do people here agree with this outcome?

    No Second World War

    Adolf Hitler dies in the trenches of the Great War. As a result there is no WWII, obviously, but let's go a little further and just assume that there is no conflict as great as the Great War again (but there are probably smaller wars, naturally). How would the world look today?

    Worst non-nuclear case scenario for a "JFK Lives" Timeline

    John F. Kennedy not getting assassinated is often given as a source of wish fulfillment if you will, to avert the symbolic death of the supposed innocence of the post-war era. But considering Kennedy was a very flawed man who cheated on his wife, publicly lied about his health, and escalated the...

    AHC: Operation Dropshot is carried out

    Operation Dropshot was a contingency plan for a possible preemptive nuclear and conventional war with the Soviet Union and its allies in order to counter the anticipated Soviet takeover of Western Europe, the Near East and parts of Eastern Asia expected to start around 1957. In the real world...

    AHC: Korean War as bad as Vietnam

    The Korean War, in spite of being a loss for the West, is often forgotten in favor of the wars it's sandwiched between (WWII and Vietnam). How could the Korean War have had as big a negative impact on the U.S. as OTL's Vietnam War? By which I mean it a) is incredibly draining on the economy and...

    AHC: Confederacy wins war, then falls apart.

    What I've seen in Confederacy Wins TL's is that the Confederacy wins and becomes an equal rival to the U.S., with maybe Texas leaving and doing its own thing. However, considering the whole "states right to secede" thing, isn't it likely that other states might secede too? Could the Confederacy...

    DBWI: 1950's were a less insane decade

    With the race riots, mass homelessness, the Red Scare, beatnik culture everywhere you looked, teen crime at it's highest peak in the 20th century (both before and after the fifties), southeast Asian refugee's bringing in new ideas, and the sexual revolution, the 1950's are still regarded as an...

    AHC: 1950's economic collapse

    What could cause a big economic collapse in the 1950's with a POD of after WII? Like, maybe not Great Depression level big, but big enough that we get a big increase in crime and teenage rebellion as a result?

    AHC: Muslim Europe, Christian Middle East

    What PODs could lead Europe becoming majority Muslim while the Middle East becomes majority Christian? What could be the ramifications of this switch throughout the world?

    AHC: Barry Goldwater wins Presidency in 1964

    How could this happen? What would his presidency be like? How would this affect the culture of the sixties?

    AHC: Women in America get the right to vote in the 19th Century

    By which I mean a women's suffrage movement creates something like the Nineteenth Amendment officially making it so that American women everywhere have the right to vote (or are supposed to). The earliest this can happen, the better.

    60's counterculture with no Vietnam

    If the U.S. never gets into the Vietnam War for whatever reason, how would this affect the counterculture movement, if there even is one?

    AHC: Make Beatniks a larger movement

    Could the Beatniks have been a larger, more influential counterculture movement rather than being seen mostly as the prelude to hippies? What PODs would have let this happen? And what would be the long term effects?

    Did the Emberverse series end?

    Noticed the wikipedia page said that the last book has been out for a while. I stopped reading a while ago, what happened?

    WI: Rome Never Existed

    Like it says. What if Rome the city never existed, or was otherwise destroyed before it could make a difference? The Gauls are not conquered, Jesus is not born in the Roman Empire if He is ever born at all, and Carthage has no rival. How might we see the world develop from these MASSIVE changes?
