  1. Han Dynasty after Qing

    Would it have been possible for a Han Chinese dynasty to replace the Qing in the late 19th or early 20th Century? If so, what might it be called? Could it have more luck modernising? Related, would it be possible for a North/South split to occur at the same time? With the new dynasty in the...

  2. AHC/WI Italian Elector/s

    Would it have been possible for one or more Italian princes to be granted the status of an Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. I see Savoy as the easiest, since it was considered to technically be part of Germany, and the Electors only ever elected the King of the Germans. Could Savoy have been...

  3. Alternate Designs for Westminster

    So, unfortunate timing, but I had been reading the wiki article (I know, I know...) on the Palace of Westminster, and it mentioned that after the 1834 fire there were 97 designs submitted. I was wondering if anybody knew where I might be able to find them. Sadly, the wiki footnotes lead to a...

  4. No Christianity - Continuation of Oracles?

    If Christianity never emerges or remains only very small minority, would the practice of consulting oracles continue? Would famous oracles like Delphi, Siwa and Dodona maintain their prestige, and how might their nature and practices change? Would new oracles be created on the fringes of the...

  5. No World Wars - is the world richer?

    Being as we're coming up on the anniversary of the beginning of WWI, I think it interesting to imagine a world without it. So, without the massive wastage of resources and manpower and the damage caused to infrastructure, would the world be more prosperous? Would this extend over the whole...

  6. AHC: Griffin Plan actually carried out

    In honour of the 100th birthday of the Australian capital, I present this challenge to the most esteemed After 1900 forum; with a POD after 1908, have Canberra built to the plan submitted by Walter and Marion Griffin. Bonus points if this is not dystopian, and if you give some indication of what...

  7. Supposing the Edwardian world just keeps puttering on...

    By which I mean that there are no continent-ravishing, era-defining conflicts, what would the world actually look like? How would most people live? Would it be in inner cities, suburbs or small towns? What would be the dominant mode of transport? What would the dominant form of media be? What...

  8. A question about a world without the great war

    I'm new here, so I apologise if this has already been asked. I've used google to try and find threads about this and the consensus seems to be that the first world war was by no means inevitable until the first shots were fired. My question is, what, bar a pan-European war or any war involving a...
