  1. Robert E Lee as U S President

    I don't know if this idea has been posted before, but what if Robert E Lee after the American Civil War became the American President. Ignoring any miraculous Confederate conquest of the North. The other possibilities involve Lee deciding to side with the North after believing they'll win and...

  2. Texas doesn't join in 1845, when does it join America

    Suppose Texas doesn't join America in 1845 and holds off for a few more years. The Mexican-American war happens as normal and America expands as normal (I imagine Texas's original borders). Both Mexico and America accept the yellow area as Texas's borders. How does Texas develop? I figure...

  3. Nuclear Development without dropping the bomb.

    How would development of nuclear energy have continued if WW2 was ended before the testing of the atomic bomb? For whatever reasons both Germany and Japan are beaten or beaten enough that use of such of a weapon isn't even considered.

  4. Soviet Expansion with out WW2

    Which directions could the USSR expand without World War 2? Assuming that Stalin doesn't want to start a world war then where can it go to avoid major powers?

  5. Martian Victory- War of the Worlds

    What would the effect on later books and later fiction if H. G Wells ended his novel with a Martian victory? The victory could mean the eventual extermination of humankind or just it's enslavement.

  6. Alternate American Civil War starting point.

    What could be some alternate starting points for the American Civil war? I would still like it to happen after Lincoln becomes president.

  7. Crossbows in Greece and Rome

    How would it affect both groups if the crossbow imported from China had made it into the Greek and Roman armies' hands? I know Rome had their own version as siege weapons, but what about one for an auxiliary to carry.

  8. Star Trek WI: No Gods

    Star Trek has been fairly stable by showing humans apparently giving up religion. What if starting out in the original series Gene Roddenberry avoided putting any godlike beings in the series? No Apollo, no humans gaining great power for example. How would a more "grounded" Star Trek universe...

  9. Africa by Three

    After researching Africa in WW1 for one of my own stories I wondered if Africa could have divided between three powers before the 1900s. I figured England and French would control most of the continent. If only one other European country was to gain the rest of Africa which would it most likely be?

  10. Drakaverse or Guns of the South

    Which of these book series is most worth my time? I don't care about plausibility, just entertainment value.

  11. Popes becomes Saints as Vatican policy

    Would a policy of automatically making former Popes saints as official part of Vatican policy affect the world?

  12. New York Sides with the Confederacy

    Could at any time before or during the Civil War New York had sided with the Confederacy? While I wouldn't expect it to raise an army maybe it could help out in some other way.

  13. WI: Soviet War Plans

    What if researchers in Russia discovered plans by Stalin of invading Europe, but his invasion was only a couple of months away when Operation Barbarossa began? I know there's a lot of arguments against this, but I consider two things I've read. The USSA did invade Poland about the same time...

  14. A Negotiated Settlement

    After reading a Gettysburg article in an Armchair General issue I ask. If Lee won the battle of Gettysburg and made it Philadelphia could this scenario happen: U.S.A or the CSA asks for negotiations to begin with Britain and France helping out both sides. Each of the four sides has terms for a...

  15. Hollywood More or less racist

    Which is more likely that Hollywood could be more racist or less racist? I'm not trying to start a flame war. But think of all the movies and characters that have been white washed. Here's a couple of things that can help you decide...

  16. Supeman Comic Hiatus and Captain America active in the 1950s

    For most of the period right after WW2 Captain America disappeared from comics until he was brought back for the Avengers. Superman was active during that period with some potentially weird storylines and Lois Lane having a comic of her own. What could have caused Superman and Captain America...

  17. Soviet Two Front war

    When would the most likely times that the Soviet Union could face a two front war?

  18. AH Novels to Avoid

    What books should we avoid in the area of alternate history? As cool as Harry Turtledove is I suggest avoiding Into the Darkness. It's essentially WW2 with magic. I didn't get far enough into it to know if Japan shows up in it. But it's a World War two novel series where magic replaces...

  19. Operation Moscow

    What if Nazi Germany had decided that Moscow must be captured first before diverting resources to Leningrad and Stalingrad?

  20. Industrial Disaster

    How bad could an industrial accident get before the government actually forces companies to pay full compensation and actually enforce greater legislation?
