  1. AH Asian Cup

    With the AFC Asian Cup, the Asian football/soccer championships, beginning soon, and in the spirit of the AHWC, I thought that it might be fun to repeat the game, this time simulating the Asian Championships. I was thinking that we would basically use the same format of the real-world...

  2. VP Lieberman

    Ah, yes. Another "Gore Wins in 2000" thread. Because we obviously haven't discussed this before. I want to take things in a slightly different direction. The means by which Gore is elected are irrelevant (the election was so close that nearly anything could tip the balance). But one of...

  3. The Other Tsar

    In 1682, Ivan Alexeyvitch Romanov and his half-brother Peter were crowned co-tsars, with Ivan V being nominally the over-king. However, Ivan was physically and mentally infirm, and was dominated by his sister, teh regent sophia. He died in 1696, and Peter I (the great) assumed full control...

  4. Different German Unification Challenge...

    I realize that the german unification has been done before, evolving a few cliches of its own over time. But there is one aspect about it that I have been meaning to explore. King Wilhelm I once remarked that unifying Germany would be "A task for my Grandson" (said grandson being the future...

  5. Alternate Battle of Samar

    On October 24, 1944, during the battle of Leyte Gulf, the Japanese Center force under Admiral Takeo Kurita attempted to force their way through the San Bernardino strait, to interfere with the ongoing American landings on the island of Leyte. The center force had already been harried by...

  6. AH Challenge: Isolationist Japan

    Your Challenge: With a POD no earlier then July 8, 1852, Cause Japan to announce to the outside world on the 100th anniversery of the landing of Matthew Perry (July 8, 1952 for those who can't do the math) that it is closing itself off from the outside world. No diplomatic relations, no...

  7. Swiss Nuclear Weapons-A history

    Switzerland today is perhaps best known for it's pacifism, banking, and knives. So many, especially outside of diplomatic and alternate history circles, would be suprised to hear that it had a nuclear weapons program. However, such a program did exist, as will be shown below. Switzerland...

  8. An New Twist on the 2000 election

    This is the result of some research on the structure of American Presidential Elections. Now, this rule is not very well known, but electors in the electoral College are forbidden from casting both their votes for president and vice-president for candidates from the same state. Normally, this...

  9. US Presidential Challenge

    Your challenge, should you chose to accept it, is to have Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and John Calhoun become presidents of the United States. The exact dates are variable, but all three must reach the office of POTUS. The POD can be no earlier then the commencement of the War of 1812.

  10. President Hamilton

    Your challenge: With a POD no later then Febuary 21, 1787, Make Alexander Hamilton President of the US. Kudos to anyone who makes him be remembered as one of the greatest presidents, preferably with Jefferson being remembered the way Hamilton is now, and have his ideas be adopted widely...

  11. Bring the Jubilee-reactions

    I was bored recently, and skimmed Bring the Jubilee by Ward Moore. For those of you who do not know it, it is set after the confederacy wins the battle of Gettysburg. It should be noted that this is not one of those "confederate victory makes UK and France enter war" stories. According to the...

  12. Blank Map Requests

    The title should make it obvious. If not, just put in requests for blank maps here. If there is already one of these, sorry. To start thinks off, I was wondering if anyone here had a map of Europe and the surrounding area (North Aftica, Middle east) from around 1939. If possible, have...

  13. Royal Titles

    What titles have Royals throughout history claimed? What could they have claimed? Additions should go into one of two types: 1. General forms of adress. Things such as your majesty, your highness, etc... Can be real or fictional, but please say which. 2. Titles. Defender of the Faith...

  14. What Was the American Civil War about?

    What was the American Civil War about? I want to get an idea of what the general feelings on this board are.

  15. Worst Dictator of All time

    Someone has probably already done this. However, I would like to throw this out. If you vote other, please indicate who.

  16. Worst Dictator of All time

    Adolf Hitler Joseph Stalin Mao Tse-Tung Pol Pot Idi Amin Francisco Lopez Benito Mussolini Ivan the Terrible Nicolai Ceausescu Slobodan Milosevic Saddam Hussein Kim Jong-il Teodoro Obiang Mobutu Sese Seko Saparmurat Niyazov Other

  17. Carthage wins the Battle of the Metarus River

    Despite the best Roman efforts, 1 messenger got through. Hannibal knew where his brother, Hasdrubal, was. And Nero's march to the river Metarus became a race against time. A race neither side could afford to lose, with the 2ed War in the Balance. When battle was joined, it was desperite...
