  1. Best Roman Emperors that never were?

    My vote is for Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus. A competent man, who rose through merit, and might have been a sixth Good Emperor had he not declined the crown on three separate occasions when it was offered to him. I have mainly been thinking about potential Western Roman Emperors, but throw out...

  2. Remain boycott leads to Irish unification in 1973

    The 1973 Northern Ireland border poll was a referendum asking if Northern Ireland should either "remain part of the United Kingdom" or "join with the Republic of Ireland". Republicans boycotted so "remain" got 99% of the vote (with a 59% turnout). ITTL the republicans participate while a few...

  3. AHC: United States nationalizes the military industrial complex

    Bloc of text below, readers are invited to skip down to the TL;DR at the bottom if they like. Formed after World War I, the Nye Committee, officially known as the Special Committee on Investigation of the Munitions Industry, asserted that arms manufacturers had lobbied for American entry into...

  4. Reagan assassinated in 1981, who does Bush Sr. choose as VP?

    As it says on the tin, John Hinckley Jr. assassinates the president. Newly sworn George H.W. Bush must appoint a vice president, who does he choose?

  5. AHC: Hubert Humphrey... in 1952

    Hubert Humphrey ran for the Democratic nomination as Minnesota's favorite son in 1952, predictably only getting 26 votes at the convention. Is is possible for Humphrey to mount a national campaign for president in 1952 and win the nomination? Note: he doesn't have to win the general election.

  6. Would President McCain invade Iraq in 2003?

    As it says on the tin. McCain beats Bush in the 2000 GOP primary and then defeats Gore in the general. Assuming 9/11 still occurs, would McCain expand the war on terror to include both Iraq and Afghanistan?

  7. Goldsboro
    Threadmarks: Title Card

    Not you again, don't you already have a timeline? Hiatus. Will this one die too? Probably. Can we at least expect regular updates on this thing? No. So when does this thing end? When I run out of ideas, or when people start to hate it. It could end at any time really. No stopping you...

  8. Stalin dies in 1945, effects on Cold War?

    Stalin suffered a heart attack in 1945, shortly after the end of WWII. If it kills him, who succeeds him and how does said successor handle the Cold War?

  9. Could a Democrat win in 1952?

    Changing nothing about the Truman Presidency, can a Democrat win the 1952 Presidential Election? Changing the race is fairgame, so Ike can lose the nomination to Taft etc.

  10. Independent Alberta?

    With a post-1945 POD is it possible for Alberta to become an independent nation? Or is the concept just too far out there?

  11. 1993 World Trade Center bombing succeeds?

    The 1993 a truck bomb was detonated below the North Tower. The intent was to bring both towers down by sending the North Tower crashing into the South, it failed to do so but killed six people and injured more than a thousand. So three questions. 1) Can a better bomb bring the one tower...

  12. Better running mate for Goldwater?

    It's fairly clear Goldwater isn't going to win the election in 64'. But with that in mind, can he pick a running mate that would give him a more respectable defeat than OTL? Did he have a shortlist IOTL with some better choices than William "who?" Miller.

  13. Nixon doesn't run in 1960, who wins the nomination?

    VP Nixon doesn't seek the presidency in 1960. Doesn't matter why. Maybe he gets in a car accident, maybe he gets sucked into a wormhole. Either way he's out of the race. Who then wins the GOP nomination?

  14. Alternate running mates for JFK?

    As it says on the tin. I've heard Symington was seriously considered over LBJ in 60'. Were there any other prominent choices?

  15. Mao assassinated?

    Mao had seldom few close encounters with death for a Communist dictator. There was only one assassination attempt on him in 1971 and his health was never a life threatening issue until about the time he died. Am I missing something? Was there a serious attempt on his life after 1949? Did he...

  16. No Khrushchev, who succeeds Stalin?

    Simple premise, Khrushchev dies during the Great Patriotic War. Who leads the USSR assuming Stalin dies on schedule in 1953?

  17. TLIAPOT

    What is this suppose to be? A timeline where this guy becomes president. So I can expect a well researched TL on post-war Germany? Well actually this is a US-centric TL… Wait. Your title has the word "Germany" in it but you're going to focus on the US? Yes. … is this thing at least...

  18. How long can France keep its colonies?

    France tried to hold on to its colonies, notably Algeria and Vietnam, but de Gaulle eventually decided they were more trouble than they were worth and cut just about all of them loose in 1960. With a post WWII POD, what bits of the French colonial empire can stay with France the longest?

  19. US doesn't defend Taiwan, does the RoC fall?

    In the 1950's the PRC was angling for an invasion of Taiwan but this became virtually impossible after the intervention of the US navy. ITTL the US doesn't defend Taiwan (President Taft or something, just take this point for granted) can Mao successfully invade with his pitiful navy? If yes...

  20. Nazi victory, is the US more or less liberal?

    The Nazis win a Fatherland style victory in Europe (ASB I know but roll with it), is the US more leftist/socially liberal ITTL or less? In other words does the existence of a big scary fascist superpower make the US move more left in response or give the US an excuse to stay right because the...
