  1. AHC: Earlier Bone Wars and Paleontology Craze

    The Difference by Gibson and Sterling is one of my favorite AH novels. One of the more interesting plot points to me is that the POD creates a butterfly effect that leads to various scientific and engineering developments having been made earlier then OTL by the time the plot is set in 1855...

  2. AHC: Provide foreign aid to the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857

    All these points make me consider again that changing the date of the rebellion would likely be best. If it starts sooner then maybe the Russians would find a way to ship supplies to some rebel groups. Then again, if the rebellion is delayed by several years then there might be more time for...

  3. AHC: Provide foreign aid to the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857

    I am studying more about the Rebellion in India against the British East India company starting in 1857. As well as other wars involving the British Empire around that time in such as the First Anglo Afghan War, the First and Second Anglo-Sikh wars, Crimean war, Anglo-Persian War, 2nd Opium war...

  4. AHC: Make a TL like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly historically plausible

    Thank you. I think I should still add a few more details to flesh it out. I also couldn't think of a better POD to have a Railroad built threw NM before the ACW or have as many towns and settlements as there seem to be in the film. I'm not sure how many towns existed in New Mexico in OTL during...

  5. AHC: Make a TL like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly historically plausible

    Agreed, though I don't want to try and resolve every single anachronism. Just as many as I can. The fact that Tuco handles a Bodao 1889 revolver at the gun store makes that almost impossible to resolve. Other weapon anachronisms, that are at least more manageable in my mind, includes the...

  6. AHC: Make a TL like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly historically plausible

    I had to go threw the movie again to check and luckily the version on Amazon answers the question. The only other clue that hints to a date is that the grave they are looking for is shown to have February 1862 marked on it

  7. WI: A delayed American Civil War and a Douglas/Johnson Presidency

    1. Makes me wonder how this alternate ACW may effect textile workers in the UK differently from OTL 2. Thank you for reminding me of Egypt, that is another interesting butterfly effect. Do you have any thoughts on how this may alter Egypt's military reforms? Or if it may still attempt a war with...

  8. WI: A delayed American Civil War and a Douglas/Johnson Presidency

    🤣🤣🤣DERP!

  9. WI: A delayed American Civil War and a Douglas/Johnson Presidency

    I can agree with that, but the focus of my thread is What If he did win as Mr. Beat has in his ATL and what are the consequences on a global scale

  10. AHC: Make a TL like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly historically plausible

    I'm a big fan of westerns like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Even if it his historically inaccurate. So I'd like to create a challenge to make an ATL in which the events shown in the film would be more plausible. The major inaccuracy is how the Civil War is portrayed in the film. The plot...

  11. WI: A delayed American Civil War and a Douglas/Johnson Presidency

    Please look at the link in my OP to Mr.Beat's youtube video in which he lays out his ATL that I want to expand upon. He imagines Douglas dying as he did in OTL and his VP Herschal Walker becoming POTUS Edit: I meant Herschel Johnson 😅

  12. AHC: Make Billy the Kid president

    I went with the option of having him defend Hispanic land rights since he had a Hispanic girlfriend before he was killed and was supposedly close to other Hispanic people. So I kept that in keeping with his OTL history of behavior. The idea of him aid robber-barons, and resigning due to...

  13. WI: A delayed American Civil War and a Douglas/Johnson Presidency

    I don't know much about Chase. How do you think he'd be different I think 4 more years might give Lincoln more time to evolve in his thoughts on slavery so that by 1864 he believes as he did in OTL that it must be ended. 4 years is plenty of time for people like Frederick Douglass and Martin...

  14. WI: A delayed American Civil War and a Douglas/Johnson Presidency

    I agree with Mr Beat that Douglass was the most likely candidate after Lincoln for POTUS. As for position of POTCS, I'll assume the CSA of TL still has one term presidencies

  15. WI: A delayed American Civil War and a Douglas/Johnson Presidency

    I made a post about this before, but it did not get much traction. Likely due to the title. So I want to post about this scenario again, with a few added details. I would also like to link to past threads I have found addressing the topic that I think add some interesting points...

  16. AHC: Make Billy the Kid president

    I did a quick check on his biography and remembered that his birth name was Henry McCarty and he was born to Irish Catholic parents. After his father died his mother remarried to a man named William Henry Harrison Antrim, with the ceremony at a Presbyterian church. After the family moved ot New...

  17. Expanding on Mr. Beat's "What if Abraham Lincoln LOST the election of 1860"

    The Youtuber Mr. Beat created an AH scenario that I find interesting. Having Stephen Douglass win the Presidential election of 1860, but then have Lincoln run again and win in 1864. Leading to an ACW starting 4 years later than OTL (1). So I would like to ask others what they think the most...

  18. WI: Bismark dies from Cohen-Blind's assassination attempt in 1866

    Since no one has commented yet, I would like to add another detail. According to some of what I read, after the successes the Prussians had in the war, Bismark insisted Wilhelm I make peace in order to avoid France or Russia coming to Austria's aid. As well as to avoid fostering Austrian...

  19. WI: Bismark dies from Cohen-Blind's assassination attempt in 1866

    I recently finished a youtube video on the Austro-Prussian War and learned something interesting that was new to me. Before the start of the war the Public knew of Bismark's attempts to start hostilities with Austria. A 22 year old man named Ferdinand Cohen-Blind chose to attempt preventing the...

  20. Could the War of the Tri. Alliance/Paraguayan War have been avoided if Pres. Carlos Solano López had lived longer?

    My point is that if Carlos lived beyond the Colorados takeover of Uruguay, then that means the circumstances that lead to the War would be butterflied away. No Solano-Blanco alliance means Solano would not interfere. As well as it being more likely that Solano would then try to make an ally out...
