  1. Challenge: Unite Persia and the Ottoman Empire after Persia converts to Shia Islam

    This is probably bordering on ASB but I had a weird day dream in class that I wanted yall's take on. Is there any way, through any series of events, that we can unite Persia and the Ottoman Empire, even if it is briefly. I don't care who does the uniting and the level of equality....you can make...

  2. Erie Railroad v. Tompkins Affirmed?

    So right now I'm currently doing my 1L first semester in law school and am working on my civil procedure briefs and reading. Tomorrow we are covering the Erie Railroad v. Tompkins case. For those who don't know (most of you I would assume) this case overturned the long standing decision of Swift...

  3. Encyclopedia Alternate-Historia

    Sometimes we have good ideas for AH but the idea doesn't have the "pop" to become a full drawn out timeline or story...but its to good to be scrapped or put into "map" form. Hence the creation of the Encyclopedia Alternate Historia...the depository for AH wiki articles, encyclopedia pages and...

  4. The Dream That Changed The World

    Chapter 1 Merely a Dream In 1164 forty German monks and ten sailors boarded a transport in Genoa and departed across the Mediterranean on the most unlikely voyage of its day. The bustling medieval port was surely abuzz that day because these monks were not off to some mission in the Holy Land...

  5. An Armed Civil Rights Resistance

    My coworkers and I were talking today and an interesting what-if was posed. What would have happened if during the midst of the Civil Rights movement, things got so bad that the black leadership including MLK (I understand its completely not within his character but talking theoretically) took...

  6. AH Pantheon of Villians

    I was lost on tvtropes and noticed this little entry from Thande's Look to the West page It got me to thinking, just who are the arch-villians of Alternate History? Some that come to mind for me are Draka LTTW Rev. France Featherston's "Nazi" Confederacy The Race (Maybe) But I...

  7. Map Help

    Ok, so while I haven't had a lot of time to b here on AH recently, one project I have been working on is an 1806 basemap of South Asia. Here is what I have so far. The only AHish difference is that the French factory towns are American since this is for Ameriwank. Other than that everything is...

  8. Hanover Unites Germany

    I had a random thought today in class, while there are a plethora of Saxony, Prussia, and Austria unite Germany threads, could Hanover perhaps have filled this role in some way? I'm not sure of the legal and political practicalities, but perhaps if the George's saw Britain's power as a way to...

  9. No College Conferences

    What if, for whatever reason, college athletics (in America) never developed the conference schedule? Think about it, no SEC, SWC/Big 12, no Notre Dame special treats (in football at least), no conference-television ties. What does this do to athletics in terms of recurits, rivalries...

  10. Calling All Ottoman Experts!

    Ok so I'm currently doing the rewrite for the highly botched original Barbary War for Ameriwank. The summary of the history is In Tripoltania, the Navy and Marines take Tripoli and install Hamet Karamalani over the (now) dead Yussif Karamanli. The Dey of Tunis is basically bought off to...

  11. The Chiefdom of Comancheria

    Now heres a topic no one has done. Idea popped in my head during finals and I drew an outline during my procrastination. I wrote up most of it yesterday so i could get the idea out of my head. Enjoy! The Chiefdom of Comancheria Chapter I: A New Nation Originally part of the Shoshone of...

  12. A different Bush Presidency

    Random thought that came to me during my sleepless drunk around 4 in the morning while peer reviewing a paper on the climatology of Denver... What would Bush's presidency have been like if there had been no 9-11 attacks and no subsequent Afghanistan and Iraq wars? What would the world look...

  13. AH Challenge: Prussian Africa!

    Give me a scenario where the Brandenburg Africa Company is successful long term and Prussia's Gold Coast colonies are maintined for at least 100 years (bonus points if you can keep them up to 1900)!

  14. The Elmira Express Rolls On

    We've all seen (we'll if you live in the US anyways, but then again if you don't live in the US you probably won't care about this WI) the Ernie Davis movie comemricals flying around so I got to wondering, what if Davis hadn't died of Leukemia right out of Syracuse and had been able to replace...

  15. Different Ottoman Break Up

    Might be a little ASB but its a bit of an intersting question. So after WWI the Allies break up the Ottomans like OTL, but then they do nothing. No randomly drawn boundaries, no Balfour Agreement, no inital seeds of Israel, they just leave it alone (don't worry why, they just do). What...

  16. Motel Rwanda: An African AH

    Because there are no good African AH's and because I just got done studying the Rwandan Genocide, heres something quick and different. It's a four part series, thats already completed. I'll post each part over the next four days. Enjoy!:D

  17. Operation Resurrection Proceeds

    I suppose I'm far to young to have even heard of this but I was digging through wiki and found it, really intersting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algiers_putsch_of_1958 Basically it was a French Semi-coup in 58' that stemmed from France's plan to leave Algeria. If De Gaulle wasn't put into...

  18. Eastern Battle of the Bulge

    We all know that Hitler threw his last remaining resources against the American and English allies in France in the Winter of 44'. What happens if Hitler decides to throw his last remaining supplies and calls a massive counter offensive in the late summer of 44' against the Soviets who were in...

  19. Prussia/Russia crushes Napoleon, not Britain

    Let's say for whatever reason, the British don't get nearly involved in the seventh coalition. They still send troops but Wellesley doesn't go and instead of armies its just a handful of volunteers and maybe some advisors. So Napoleon goes to Waterloo and defeats the Prussians under Blucher...

  20. Darius III & Alexander make Peace

    So in 332 BC Darius III wrote Alexander the Great a letter of friendship. Basically he gives Alexander everything west of the Euphrates on a silver platter and asks Alexander to marry his daughter to ensure peace and alliance. In OTL Alexander gives him the Macedonian Middle Finger and goes to...
