    Socialist America brainstorming thread

    Yesterday I posted a map about the rise of a socialist party in the United States. After getting some feedback from there and other places I concluded that while I'm satisfied with my PoD and events that happen in the USA, I'm not so happy with how I handled the rest of the world. I guess I was...

    Can the German Empire hold Europe?

    Let's say that Wilson can't be budged from neutrality and there's a massive mutiny in the French army by mid 1918. Britain and France negotiate with Germany and agree to the following terms: Germany's colonial empire is dismantled. Britain and France will not pay the Central Powers any war...

    France after a central powers victory

    I have a new map project in mind where an event similar to the House Grey Memorandum leads to an end to WWI with a return to the status quo in the west (except for a chunk of Alsace-Lorraine being ceded to France) while Germany disarms the High Seas Fleet but keeps its gains from the treaty of...

    Could Poland survive with late 18th century PoD

    A long time ago someone commented on a map-art that I made that asked me why I hated Poland so much. Which stuck with me because I didn't have any strong feelings towards Poland but looking back to the gallery I made it did seem that Poland always get the short end of the stick. I chalked this...

    Xiongnu conquest of China

    I've been reading up on Chinese history about the start of the Han dynasty and I came across a POD that would have split China between three states controlled by Liu Bang, Han Xin, and Xiang Yu respectively. While OTL Liu Bang swayed Han Xin and founded the Han dynasty, it wasn't long after that...

    TL-191 why did Britain join the Second Great War?

    I only read one book in the settling accounts series so I don't remember if the European theater was detailed at some point. If not then how do you think Britain was drawn into a second war against Germany? I don't see any obvious reason why Churchill would join France or what victory gets...

    Would a failed ARW create a larger British Empire?

    A lot of people here seem to believe that if the Americans lost the Revolutionary War then the British Empire would dominate the world. But I was always under the impression that the American colonies were more of a net drain for Britain. All the acts the British parliament passed during the...

    Soviet Russia after an early end to WW1?

    Could Lenin or other Communists rise to power in Russia if Germany surrendered late 1917 or early 1918 instead of November 11, 1918? Assuming Lenin still ends up in Russia somehow.

    US postwar politics if Roosevelt won in 1912

    How would the Democrat and Republican parties be different if president Taft decided to not seek reelection for whatever reason and ex-president Theodore Roosevelt went on to win the Republican nomination and the 1912 election? Particularly how it would affect the Republican party in 1920...

    What would the Norse have named places in North America

    Copying @Greg Lobo's thread idea because naming stuff is fun and Vinland has always been a popular subject here. So let's say that Norse colonists get sponsored from Norway or Cnut's England and are able to establish a solid foothold on the continent and explore. What would they name various...

    Hnefatafl as popular as Chess

    Lately I've been spending a lot of time playing a game called Hnefatafl or Viking Chess as some might call it. For those unfamiliar, Hnefatafl is an asymmetric chess like game where the goal for white to get it's king to safety and for black to capture white's king. Under the Copenhagen rules...

    Challenge: Egypt a great power without Ali Pasha

    With a PoD after 1750, could Egypt have became an independent great power on the scale of Japan even without the modernizing efforts of Ali Pasha?

    Castles in Godwinson's England

    Stone castles have been something I've taken for granted regarding the Middle Ages. But it recently occurred to me that castles weren't really a thing in England until after the Norman invasion which were used as a way to control the Anglo-Saxons. Before then the closest example of sophisticated...

    Class warfare without the FRW

    As I was enjoying watching this fellow review Extra Credits Bismark series and hearing him describe how all the monarchs of Europe would go to war against France if they disposed the king in the 1848 revolutions. It suddenly occurred to me that this environment of monarchs banding together to...

    Navy of an Axis Ottoman empire WWII

    Let's speculate that the Ottoman empire remained neutral during wwi and this doesn't butterflies a second global war. During the interwar period the empire becomes a totalitarian state and expands into Arabia and joins Germany and Italy in the Axis powers. My question is, how big could the...

    Chinese Soviet Republic

    I challenge posters to come up with a scenario in which the CSR doesn't collapse but is able to defeat the Nationalists and do it without any sort of Japanese intervention.

    Vinlandic Language

    So I've been playing a scenario in my head for the past week about a more successful Vinland colony lead by Lief Eriksson on Prince Edward Island. It's basically a colony of a more successful North Sea Empire for 70 years before going it's own way. So I see some strong Anglo-Saxon intermingling...
