  1. Mass Emigration From Britain to Continent?

    In modern times (POD later than 1500 or so), what would it take for there to be at least one major ethnic group in Continental Europe that traces its ancestry to immigrants from England, Wales, Scotland, or Ireland, speaks English or a Celtic tongue (or a modified creole dialect of the host...

  2. Romance-Speaking Balkans?

    What changes would it take to have the entirety of the Balkan region (former Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania) speaking languages descended from Roman-era Latin, bar for minority "holdout" languages in the isolated bits?

  3. Possible Colonial Power: Moorish Empire?

    Is it possible at all for a state that controls both Al-Andalus and the Maghreb, along with a chunk of West Africa (the Ghana) and the Balearic Isles to hold onto power into the 15th century and become an important part of the development of the colonial and imperial eras? Such a Moorish...

  4. Earliest Possible ACW?

    When is the earliest possible time period that a full-fledged shooting war between the equivalent of the Union and the Confederacy could occur? To be considered an alt-analogue of the ACW, the following criteria should be met: secession must be attempted, the existence of a separate "Southern"...

  5. German Empire Survives?

    Is there any way for the Treaty of Versailles as we know it not to exist in TL where the Central Powers still lose the Great War? I'm not sure what the POD would be, but maybe something that delays American entry until long enough after the collapse of the Russian state that it doesn't matter...

  6. Proxy War in Warlord China?

    What sort of POD could result in an alt-Great War/WW1 where a considerable bulk of the fighting takes place in China, between warlord/party* factions backed by the opposing European alliances? Basically, I'm interested in a World War spread out across more than just the European theater...

  7. AHC: True Balkanization

    One of my pet peeves regarding this site is the liberal usage of the term "balkanized" to mean any situation where a state fragments into multiple successors. The reason OTL Yugoslavia was so notable is because its fragmentation was intertwined by the incredible diversity of the region in...

  8. Migrant workers in the Caribbean?

    What would requirements would it take, and what ramifications would occur, if there was an influx of migrant workers from Mexico and Central America to the English-speaking Caribbean islands?

  9. Is a second Volkwanderung possible?

    In other words, how late can we fabricate a large-scale re-shuffling of geo-demographics in Europe?

  10. Is American Independence Inevitable?

    I ask this because it seems that every scenario where the ARW is averted resolves the conflict by having the 13 colonies becoming a protectorate or proto-Dominion of Britain, with the implication being that American nationalism and independence is almost inevitable, and an only be subverted by...

  11. AHC: White Indian Population Higher Than Population of Britain

    The challenge is twofold: to have a cultural minority in the Indian subcontinent directly descended from Europeans that speaks English, are visibly Caucasian and practice Christianity and other distinctly non-Indian cultural traits, AND to have this minority outnumber English-speakers in Europe...

  12. American Banlieus

    What would have to happen for poverty in the USA to be associated with suburbs rather than the inner cities? The inverse* does not necessarily have to apply, but it would also be interesting. *Inner cities being associated with white, white-collar communities rather than suburbs and gated...

  13. Cultural WI: No Crack Epidemic

    It doesn't really matter why there is no epidemic, but let's just say it's more of a matter of crack not existing in this TL than going even further back to change the circumstances that made crack cocaine such a destructive force among inner-city black communities in the 80s. What I'm...

  14. French Netherlands?

    Is it possible at all for the Netherlands to transfer from Spain to France at some point before the 80 Years War begins? What would it take? What would be some possible effects on the Northern European trade and political scape?

  15. Catholic Tartarstan?

    Inspired by an EUIII game in which Austria has expanded to Mongolia and has converted the majority of the Eurasian steppe and Central Asia. The essential part of this challenge is that the Russian states are not involved in this religious/cultural change. Some other state or nation must...

  16. AHC: Catholicising Islam

    For centuries, Christianity was virtually synonymous with Catholicism, and thus Christianity was a structured, hierarchical and patriarchal religion based out of a city in a different culture group from the origin point of Christianity. How can we get all that to apply to Islam? Bonus points if...

  17. AHC: Majority of US population lives in territories

    With a POD after 1777, how could we achieve a situation where, by modern day, the majority of the US population lives in territories or protectorates that aren't legally states? The population that lives inside of States must be politically dominant. Extra points if the "territorials" are a...

  18. Maltese Empire?

    Historically, Malta has been contested between dozens of different European and Mediterranean powers due to its strategic location. Is it possible for a local state or ruling family to use Malta's spot in one of the busiest parts of the Mediterranean to rise to power and have significant...

  19. The Vivaldi Journeys (2.0 Roberto Remix)

    In 1291, brothers Vandino and Ugolino Vivaldi, two Geonese merchants and captains, embarked on an expedition to search for the route to India. Their plan to leave the Mediterranean and circle Africa was revolutionary, and rumors quickly spread about the fate of these intrepid explorers as the...

  20. AHC: White sultans of India

    What would it take to yield a significant portion of the Indian subcontinent (at least 20% of the population and land area) covered by an independent state ruled by white royalty or aristocracy that is un-associated with any European nation? I'm specifically envisioning this having emerged...
