  1. How would Confederate Arizona be developed if the Confederacy won the Civil War?

    I am sure that this is probably ASB, as even if the Confederacy were to "win" by somehow holding back the Union advances I doubt they'd be able to claim that much territory. However, what if they were able to somehow win and they were given the Arizona territory how would such a place be...

  2. So if FDR wins a third and fourth term, is there any reason why the 22nd amendment DOESN'T pass?

    Its a common idea in alternate history for the 22nd amendment that created presidential term limited to never come into effect. As most know, the big reason it passed was due to the Republicans controlling congress in the late 40's and basically reacting to FDR being president for so long...

  3. What if, the 22nd Amendment is not passed, but Bill Clinton is the first to try for a third term?

    So lets say that the 22nd amendment isn't passed. I don't know if things would go as OTL, but lets say things do but no president tries for a third term until Bill Clinton?

However, Britain remains free, either because the Germans are still unable to cross successfully or British air and Sea power keeps it safe...

  12. What if John R Brinkley (the goat gland implanting doctor) was elected governor of Kansas in 1932?

    So this is a bit of a deep dive, but a fun one.

He promoted this on popular KFKB radio in Milford Kansas and was...

  15. AHC: Wank the Reform Party (USA)

    So in 1992 Ross Perot ran for president and in 1996 he started the Reform Party. Basically the party only did well due to Perot and while it had high profile members like Pat Buchanan and Donald Trump, and even had success with Jesse Ventura in Minnesota, it’s struggles led it to fall apart...

    Where would they settle? Would the US try to give them a state or even have a kind of homestead act for them? I know there were ideas to have them settle in Texas or Alaska iirc, but what would be most likely? Also what would be the impact on Israel if a number of Jews simply moved to the US?
