  1. HELP needed deciphering a map - may be ATL or OTL

    Map captioned in Polish gotten from a Polish source, which seems hopelessly confused (it's about the Erasmus programme). Hint number one: Soviets Hint number two: China under an Emperor Hint number three: Brunei Sultanate Hint number four: Mongolian People's Republic Hint number five: Japan...

  2. Things that look like alternate history but aren't IV

    Since the thread no. III died out in January this year, I decided to start a new one. You know there are living descendants of the Paleiologos in the 21st century? There's a Demetrius-Paleiologos family living in Poland. From what I was able to find, it started with a Paleiologos who died...

  3. After Kadesh – a Nineteenth Dynasty Timeline
    Threadmarks: Intro

    "That vile town of Kadesh." Detail from the War scenes. On the ramparts of the citadel, the citizens despair in the face of defeat. - Source: The Karnak Great Hypostyle Hall Project 1284 BC Year 4 King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Menmatre. 3rd month of the second season, day 4. Lo, his majesty...

  4. WI Alexander the Great was succeeded by his illegitimate son?

    I subscribe to the theory that Heracles of Macedon was Alexander's son. Given that Roxana's child was not yet born at the time, and Heracles was a youth (18 IIRC), and we assume he is acknowledged as Alexander's... What would happen?

  5. Ptolemaic dynasty without Roman interventions

    I've read a book about "four Cleopatras" (Cleo III, Cleo IV, Cleo V, Cleo VII) while on a holiday and it sparked an idea. If we could butterfly away Roman interventions in Egyptian/Ptolemaic affairs, the dynasty would be stronger and wouldn't probably end in 30 BC. The first intervention...

  6. WI: Nicholas II Romanov lives

    Inspired by the fact that apparently the Russians celebrate 400th anniversary of the founding of the Romanov dynasty, and the Polish TV announcer saying "400 years of the Romanov dynasty" and me saying "well, he should make it 300 years since Nicholas Romanov was shot in 1919" What if Nicholas...

  7. WI: The Crusaders do not fight Saladin

    What if the Crusaders do not fight Saladin, but focus on strengthening their presence in the Outremer? I am not saying they should abandon the goal of fighting the Muslims entirely (hopefully in the ATL future), but they don't confront Saladin. With a good, wise leader of the Crusade, who...

  8. WI: Saud dynasty starts a breeding program

    What if Muhammad bin Saud starts a breeding program as soon as he's consolidated his power in what would become the First Saudi State? I think I'd keep Abdul Aziz's wedding to the daughter of Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab. I'd butterfly Wahhabism away, for added benefits. I think I'll start...

  9. WI: Said dynasty of Oman starts a breeding program

    Ok, a rehash of my breeding program idea. This time, the instigator would be Said bin Sultan. He ruled from 1804 to 1856. He had 34 children (*grins*) and his descendants still rule Oman. I'd butterfly away the 1840 moving of the capital, but I'd keep the 1856 splitting of the realm. Why Said...

  10. AHC: Kangxi's eugenics program

    Kangxi Emperor was the longest reigning Emperor of China in recorded history, and the one who could boast most children. He ruled from 1661 (7 years old at the time) to 1722 and the Kangxi Dictionary is among his accomplishments. He welcomed the Jesuits to China and was grateful for their...

  11. Henry Fitzroy becomes King

    Let's say Henry VIII legitimizes his bastard son Henry Fitzroy sometime after he is made Duke of Richmond in 1525, but before Henry VIII starts planning a second marriage (which was around 1528). Would this make Fitzroy first in the order of succession? What of the plans to make him King of...

  12. Two states founded in 1946 - Israel and Palestine

    The POD as stated in the title. What are the possible borders? I want maps, please. *** The idea of Jerusalem as international city presented here is nice and possible too. *** Similar thread with a later POD here.

  13. WI: No Battle of Grunwald/Tannenberg in 1410

    As the topic says. Either the Teutonic Knights never try to christianize Zmudz (thus never antagonizing Vytautas/Witold, never leading to the war with Jagiello/Jogaila), or Jagiello doesn't come to Witold's help. What would happen to the Central-Eastern Europe in the allohistory 15th century?

  14. WI: Puyi's restoration in 1917 was successful?

    As the thread title says. Alternately, the change could be that Puyi never abdicates. Thoughts? Ideas?

  15. WI: Nazi Germany attacks France instead of Poland

    As the title says. What would have happened? Would GB have helped France instead of having OTL 'bizarre war' (i.e. DoWing Germany but not taking any action at all for several months)

  16. WI Earth was hit by an asteroid

    Inspired by a paradocumentary 'Dangerous Earth' (or at least this is what the Polish title was; the film was originally American - about various catastrophes which happened and which might happen. Today, the last episode aired, and they asked, what if an asteroid comparable to the one which...
