    Archduchess Elisabeth Marie Marries Future King Albert I

    So I recently discovered that Archduchess Elisabeth Marie sought, and nearly married, future king Albert I of Belgium. Leopold II disapproved due to the recent morganatic marriage of his daughter Stephanie. Say Stephanie does not marry again, forever scarred by the venereal disease that Rudolf...

    A Different Egyptian Independence

    The Kingdom of Egypt claimed Sudan throughout it's British occupation, the latter refusing to ever consider turning over the Sudan. Was the idea ever considered, especially as colonialism began to wind down, to turn over Northern Sudan in exchange for the Sinai peninsula and land around the Suez...

    UNIA-ACL Keeps Their Dollar an Acre

    The organization was funding a back to Africa movement focused on Liberia sending representatives to inspect and lease land for those interested in returning to Africa. Firestone ended up coming in and making a far sweeter deal on the proposed land quashing the entire endeavor. The question is...

    Salvage the World Boxing Association

    Is there any way to prevent Dr. Elias Cordova and Rodrigo Sanchez from seizing control of the WBA? From what I can gather, their seizure of the organization through rather dubious means proved the catalyst for the growth in alphabet belts as well as worsening corruption (though not new to the...

    The Bell Monopoly Never Happens

    I recently watched the documentary Genius on Hold regarding the rise of the AT&T monopoly and the battles Walter Shaw and others had breaking said monopoly. According to the documentary AT&T and it's competitors had differing methods of growth. AT&T chose to build their infrastructure in the...

    President Hitler

    A POD I can't remember ever being pursued was the 1932 German election. Hindenburg was in failing health, hated the position, and had to be cajoled to stand for re-election. Say he refuses to run or he dies sooner. Hitler was the frontrunner and without Hindenburg in his way, chances were good...

    Hitler Triumphant

    Here is a site I've been putting together for some time. A tad cliche in parts, and maybe ASB in others, it serves as a guide to a possible Hitler victory in WWII. I know, so what. Well, it is an interesting read I wish I could expand on it because there is a classic tale in this. Here it...

    Is Tomorrow Hitler's?

    Some time back I bought this book, "Is Tomorrow Hitler's?" by HR Knickerbocker which was printed in 1941. It is an intensely interesting book that posits the future of the world should the United States not stand up and attack Nazi Germany. Having been written during the darkest days of the war...

    An interesting administration...

    I don't think I've ever seen this idea mentioned but what if Douglas MacArthur, after the glory he achieved in the Pacific, ran for the presidency and won in 1948 and then appointed a still living George S. Patton as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs? What would the American agenda have been in the...

    Christopher Reeve: What Might Have Been

    This is a rather odd AH, but I am a huge fan of Christopher Reeve and going through his bio/history I was surprised to see the number of important movies he turned down: The Mutiny, Officer and a Gentleman, American Gigolo, Arthur, World According to Garp, Urban Cowboy, Romancing the Stone. I...

    Hey, Matt Moses here. First time poster, longtime lover of alternate history. So, after reading through the various threads here as well as reading alt his fiction since I was a wee lad (two decades of reading, God I'm so old!), I finally knuckled down and began putting together a little...
