  1. George Wallace does not select LeMay as VP Nominee in 1968

    What the title says. George Wallace former governor of Alabama, 3rd party candidate in the 1968 election, chose retired Airforce General Curtis LeMay as his running mate. This is widely seen today as a mistake, as LeMay immediately proceeded to talk about how much he wanted to start nuking...

  2. Historical Atlas of North America

    My style of map making looks a lot like those found in modern Historical Atlases. So I decided to try and make an actual historical atlas, or at least a chapter on of one. It's a CSA victory TL, boring I know, but it's actually part of my continuing plan of take ATL, add socialist revolution...

  3. Under the Aegis of the White Wyrm

    A Map: This is a scenario I’ve been bopping around with for a while. It was an attempt to make sort of a Khmer Rouge style regime in Europe, particularly Western Europe. It’s rather depressing, and not very well thought out. Honestly I’m more using it to make maps then anything. So I’m...

  4. Brazilian Formosa: A dream

    Last night I had an alternate history dream. In this dream, I was making a history of Brazilian Formosa. I think this is less implausible than it seems, as Brazilian Formosa in the dream was originally a Portuguese Colony (which I think is totally possible, though I'm not well versed in the...

  5. Magnetic storage spread in the 1930s

    Apparently, Bell Labs developed magnetic sotrage in the 1930s and then... totall repressed it. See here. So what if they hadn't? Their paranoia was unfounded, we can probably just change things slightly, so now we have answering machines in the '30s.

  6. A proposal about the OTL Maps

    I am getting very tired of there being four OTL Maps threads. However, at this point I'm not sure anyone's willing to tackle the mess (all 9,038 posts and growing) all by themselves. So I have a suggestion for a project that will end this silliness: Archive & Destroy. 1) A group of us divide...

  7. GIMP basemaps

    So, as I've been making my maps, I've generated a number of .xcf (GIMP's native file format) basemaps that I thought some of you might want. For instance here's the one I just made of North America: Obviously, every element is a separate layer so there shouldn't be a problem with the...

  8. Everyone who participated in MoF4!:1o9 linked to you

    A couple of you are in Gawker's Sci-Fi Blog: io9 here. Just thought you might want to get credited, plus its cool that we are mentioned. Sorry for the typo in the title.

  9. Effects of a Disunited America upon Language.

    Presume that after the American revolution the various states split up into smaller confederations. We should also presume that Britain does not reconquer these disparate states, and it may also be worth saying that we can presume that the Ohio territory is probably settled by these *Americans...

  10. 5500 years v2

    Tired. Intro will be short: 5500 years was an old time line of mine discussing what would happen if the Native Americans had not been influenced by the old World. This is a re-boot to make it shorter and easier for me to make. Thats why the style changed. 5500 Years: A time line of...

  11. Views of a defeated American revolution

    I was thinking about how historians might view a defeated American Revolution. I was thinking that it might be viewed as a slightly different war of suprmacy, although if the Americans are Defeated it might be likely that the various other powers involved might not have been involved, making the...

  12. St. John slaves defeat French

    In 1718 the Danish west India and guinea Company settled the Island of St. John, in the Carribean, now part of the U.S. virgin Islands . It rapidly became an a sugar island, with 1,00 slaves on 109 plantations. In 1733 the slaves rebelled, killd most of the Whites, captured the only Fort, and...

  13. The Sky people-Kartahownian

    I posted this on the S.M. stirling Yahoo! Group before, but thought you guys might like it to. Notes on Kartahownian, as drawn from the work of S. M. Stirling. In Mr. Stirling's book, the Sky People, which I have recently read and enjoyed, there are severals mentions of Karahtownian, the...

  14. Wayna Capac survises

    Wayna Capac (also spelled Huayna Capac) was the son of Tupac Inca, and the leader of the Incas just before the arrival of Europeans. He led the conquest of much of Ecuador and established the Incan stronghold of Quito. In OTL he died in one of the first smallpox epidemics to come to South...

  15. Challenge HREGN and Austria-Hungaria exist at the same time.

    From a comment in the thread about martin Luther king's statue. Your challenge is thus: You must have the Holy-Roman Empire of the German Nation coexist with a nation that is a union of Austria and Hungary, although doesn't nessecarily have to be called Austria-Hungaria. Bonus points if the...

  16. The Mohawk/Iriqouis lose

    In OTL the Mohawk pushed the Mahicans out of upstate New York in 1628, thereby gaining access to Dutch (later British) guns. The Iroquois then pushed out out of their home in New York in the 1640s and 1650s and depopulated huge swathes of territory across the great Lakes. The Huron, Neutrals...

  17. WI the American Populist party nominated first?

    The Historical Populist Party was a major third party in American politics. In the election of 1896 they fused with the democrats in support of Williams Jennings Brian My POD is this: WI the populist Party held their convention first and nominated William Jennings Brian? He too was their top...

  18. Succesor to the Fremont Culture

    A bit of Background: The Fremont were a diverse group of horticulturalists and hunter gatherers who shared common material like one-rod-and-bundle baskets, and pit houses. They lived in Utah, western Colorado, and Southern Idaho from about 750-1250 A.D. Today they aren't very well known,and...

  19. Sails in Pre-Columbian North America

    In OTL sails were limited in spread in Pre-Columbian America. They could have been very useful, especially for the more maritime peoples in NA. The three I can think of most are the: a) Pacific North westerners. Maybe they could have larger whale hunts? In OTL these peoples adopted sails very...

  20. No French and Indians War

    The circumstances leading up to it might not have happened. So lets have Lt. Gov. Dinwiddle of Virginia back down and let the French have Ft. Duquesne. Or the French party could arrive late when the British where constructing Ft. Prince George. Or we could have the skirmish at Jumonville Glen...
