  4. AHC/WI: Iran Invades Afghanistan in 1998

    After the Taliban massacre of Iranian diplomats in Mazar-i-Sharif in 1998, the Iranians deployed more than 70,000 troops to the Afghan border.

  10. Largest possible limited nuclear war?

    What do you guys think is the largest possible nuclear war that doesn't go global? By that, I mean a war in which two nations exchange a large amount of nuclear missiles, but no one else launches theirs. The war cannot involve the US or Soviet Union (or Russia, depending on when the war...

  12. AHC: American President commits suicide

    I saw a conversation on another forum, and one of the European members made a joke saying that one day because of how harsh we Americans can be on our President one is going to commit suicide. Of course it was a joke, but it got me thinking, does anyone think that could ever actually have...

  13. WI: Henry Moseley survives

    In OTL, Henry Moseley is best known for his theories in regards to the atomic numbers of elements. I've heard him described as having an intellect that rivaled Einstein's.

  16. AHC: Atomic bomb not developed before X-Day and Y-Day

    Basically, how can you make sure that the atomic bomb is not developed before the start of X-Day (November 1, 1945) and Y-Day (March 1, 1946)?

  20. Bandits and Generals - The 20th Century and Beyond

    Perhaps the greatest example of foreshadowing in all of history is Hailey's Comet. It appeared 20 April 1910. Many Mexicans believed it was an omen of war, pestilence, and death to come. They didn't know how right they were. It would become an apt prediction of the century ahead. This is a...
