  1. Nelson Lives!

    What if Admiral Horatio Nelson, hero of the Battle of Trafalgar, does not suffer a bullet to the neck and survives the battle? How does this affect the remainder of the Napoleonic Wars?

  2. What got YOU into Alternate History?

    Straightforward Question: What got you into alternate history as a genre? For me, I liked fantasy, and found Turtledove's Darkness Series. After I finished that, I wanted to see if I could find anything else by him, and that got me reading Worldwar, and the rest *DUMB JOKE WARNING* is history.

  4. Loss at Chalons

    I have never seen anything about it on this website, so I will post the question. What if the Romans had lost the Battle of Chalons? Would the Huns have over-run Gaul? Would they have invaded other parts of the Empire? Please, comment.

  5. They Call it Civilization!

    What will follow is my first timeline. The Point of Departure, if it is not obvious from the first piece I post, shall be made clear in the overview which is to follow that. I appreciate all comments, be they complements, questions, or constructive criticism. I will try to update this...

  6. History Books

    Most of us on this site, being fans of alternate history, are usually fans of history first. Thus, I would be willing to bet that people could provide some good book reccomendations for OTL history, in any era or place. Speak of some of your favorites. To start, one of the best books for...

  7. How many Popes?

    At the height of the Western Schism, there was, as many know, a French Pope and a Roman Pope. Something I wasn't aware of until a few minutes ago, however, was that there was also an Antipope in Pisa. The questions are: 1) How many Popes can we get at once? 2) How long can these Papacies...

  8. WI East India Independent

    Fairly simple idea here: What if the British East India Company, instead of giving its territories to the Crown in 1858, kept them, remaining master of India? Could they last? What would the effect be on every other country? Would there ever be a need for "decolonization", seeing as it...

  9. How Plausible is History?

    I put this in pre-1900 simply because most of history, obviously, happened before 1900. The basic idea is, what historical events do you think an alternate you (don't bring up butterflies) would not believe. Think of this as a mass, OOC DBWI. For instance, if in the ATL you live in the...

  10. AH Challenge: Chinese India

    This may very well have been done before, but I have yet to see it, so here it goes. The challenge is to get Qing China (so post-1644) in charge of allof modern India by 1912 at the latest, the date of its (Qing Dynasty's) destruction. It must be firmly in charge of India. There can be no...

  11. Who would win in a fight?

    Who would win in a fight; John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough or Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington? First, they are obviously from different times with different technologies (slightly, they are about 100 years apart in their respective wars). Thus, assume they meet with technologies of the...

  12. WI French-Russian Alliance

    The contemporaries Peter Romanov (the Great), Czar of Russia, and Louis XIV, King of France, were the greatest figures of their day, and both had very important effects on their respective nations. They were very different in many ways, yet both made their nations the greatest in Europe (in...

  13. WI no Salic Law

    Well, what if? A lot can be done with this, so I don't feel the need to elaborate myself. Discuss

  14. Miracle of the House of Brandenburg

    So it ws called. In the sixth year of the Seven Years' War (so 1762), the Russian Tsarina, Elizabeth, died. She was succeeded by the German-born (and obviously pro-German) Peter III. He immediately ended the war with Germany, leaving Russia with no significant gains. But what if things had...

  15. WI Independent Bavaria

    While I do not pretend to know much about it, I do know that there was a revolt in Bavaria after the Treaty of Versailles. It temporarily succeeded and established what was known as the Bavarian Socialist Republic. Obviously, it was a socialist state. This state was short lived, as it was...

  16. WI Romans took all of Britain

    In OTL, after the battle of Mons Graupius, the Roman leader Agricola was withdrawn from Britain, as they believed that all of its tribes had been defeated. However, the decision to leave Scotland was to haunt the Roman Britons for the rest of their days, and the rest is history. My question is...

  17. WI Vienna falls in 1529

    In 1529, the Ottoman Empire besieged Vienna, but eventually failed in their attack due more to the long supply lines and weather than actual Austrian action. This marked the end of their expansion in Europe. My question is what would happen if Vienna had fallen in that year and the Turks...

  18. A Neverending Bible

    As I was perousing through the bible earlier today, right after reading up on English history, I was struck with an idea concerning the two areas. The Bible has such a unique writing style (despite being written by a number of different people), yet it's writings, aside from prophecies, end...
