  2. Possible outcome of Titanic not sinking

    We all know the story and we all know the facts. I have spent 18 years studying every rivet, deck, passenger and crew member on that voyage. Although there was no single fatal error that caused the maiden voyage to end suddenly, there were many small errors that caused the liner to sink and...

  3. Star Trek Enterprise ranks explained!

    This is more of a lightbulb moment for me after thinking about it for days. The two things that drove me nuts for the longest time were both rank insignia oriented issues. First were the lack of a Lt JG and the Lt Cmdr ranks, second were the overwhelming lack of enlisted leadership, IE, you...

  4. Who wants to draw a starship?

    Like it says on the tin. I have a friend of mine writing an ST novel and has designed his own ship but can't draw it, but has described it in detail. I neither have the talent or patience for any form of art including photoshop. Anyway, here is the concept: A Luna class body type with the...

  5. USAF founded earlier?

    In our timeline, quite a number of countries had their own separate air force well before WW2. Many countries saw the advantage of a branch of military where it's sole purpose was air power. What if General Billy Mitchell pushed even harder for air power when he was made Director of Military...

  6. Random post 1900 small what ifs thread!

    I have always had half a dozen what ifs running through my head, for example today its: What would happen if McCarthyism didn't exist? What would be the long term implications of no Disney? What if we tried to get the UN involved in Vietnam? What if we pushed further after the liberation...

  7. Alternate Militaries Thread

    This is a thread where the intent is to display your entire alternate or future military in one quick blow! Using the templates below, it should be easy to outline your military. I used Wikipedia's article outline to use as an organizational tool. For Air Force: 1 Mission 1.1 Operational...

  8. U.S. Decides against the Lend Lease Act

    What if the United States decides to take a more capitalistic approach with the philosophy of "no buck, no bang" and state that if the United Kingdom or any country that wants any form of supplies or equipment, they will have to pay for the item in full first. But they only get downgraded parts...

  9. A non neutral Switzerland

    Since my trip to Switzerland, I have often been curious what the makeup of Europe, even the international world if Switzerland was not neutral. Now I know that this theory depends heavily on the POD, a few dates that I have thought of were 1. They never were neutral, 2. They emerged in 1914...

    What type of conspiracy theories from other TLs would be interesting to hear or see about?

  11. A non neutral Switzerland

    Switzerland has been neutral since the mid 1870s, what would the PoD need to be for Switzerland to not have such a hardlined opinion of neutrality? Would one of them be the disbandment of their direct democracy in favor or a representative democracy? What type of butterflies could we expect...

  12. WI slavery is not practiced in the United States?

    I was watching a CNN special on Africa and slavery. I got me thinking, what if when the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights were being written; OTL's 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were automatically included with the original bill of rights, creating the "Original 13 Amendments of the...

  13. Challenge: Make the Chinese Empire last!

    Challenge is simple, make the Chinese Empire last well into the 21st century with a POD no earlier than the Qin Dynasty and no later than the Ming Dynasty. This should be relatively easy considering you have a window that ranges from 220 BC to 1644 BC. Caveats: An Emperor must be in charge...

By June (of) 1946, the commission completed a plan for the elimination of nuclear weaponry based on inspectors that would travel the...

  16. DBWI: Operation Overload Successful?

    IC: I know it has been considered ASB in the past along with a certain sea mammal, but would Overlord be successful if ever attempted? What PODs would be needed to make such an operation not only possible, but successful? OOC: Pretty straight forward DBWI, no D-Day.

  17. Ignore

    Ignore this thread.

  18. DBWI: How do you feel about this idea of of women getting the vote?

    OOC: This is set in an ATL where society on both a national and global scale was extremely patriarchal and women in America are getting the right to vote in 2008 rather than 1920. IC: It's been all over the damned news all day that those suffragists finally got the right to vote. They have...

  20. A different thought

    We always see and hear discussions of the Ameriwank, usually followed with phrases like "MURRIKA! FUCK YEAH!" And with this idea, visions of the United States spanning the entire Pan-Americas like a tidal wave. Well, what about this? Stifle America. How could America be stifled to only going as...
