  1. HBO miniseries adaptation of Philip Roth's 'Plot Against America' announced

    David Simon announces fictional miniseries about the rise of fascism and antisemitism in America "Philip Roth died earlier this year, leaving behind a legacy of novels that are likely to be celebrated for generations to come, and a whole bunch of film adaptations that, well, not so much...

  2. Which were your favourite episodes of Sliders?

    If you're an alternate history fan of a certain age, you probably remember this show - either because you enjoyed it or because it infuriated you or both. Which were your favourite episodes of Sliders? You can select multiple options. If you choose other, please specify which episode(s) you had...

  3. WI: The Big Nuking of 1959: How the US Would Have Nuked East Asia

    So, my question is, is this list reflective of what would have actually happened in the event of a nuclear war in '59? How do you think East Asia would have recovered from such a war? What would China, Japan, Korea, and the Russian Far East look like today in such an occurrence? What would have...

  4. AHC & WI: Surviving Independent Mormon State, no ACW PODs

    Your challenge is to have an independent Mormon state survive until, well, now without a POD of the North somehow being forced to accept Deseret's independence in the ACW or an analogue. It doesn't have to be in the OTL location of Deseret and it doesn't even have to be within OTL US borders...

  5. What's your favourite published Axis victory AH in any medium?

    The Axis victory timeline. We spend a lot of time on this site arguing about the ways in which it could not have been achieved, but let's consider for a moment those published pieces of fiction with an Axis victory as a premise. The end product if you will. Love it or hate it, Axis victory AH is...

  6. Philadelphia Experiment II

    Has anyone seen Philadelphia Experiment II? It's almost painful how much of a missed opportunity that film is. It predates the Fatherland TV film by a year and is really the first depiction of an Axis victory TL in American television or film. Unfortunately, it's just so bad. Spoilers below, I...

  7. AHC: 'Slave Power' Britain in an ARW loss TL

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to outline a mini-TL where Britain is and remains a reactionary power on the issue of slavery until as close to the end of the 19th century as possible (rather than becoming the kind of country which pressured Brazil to abolish slavery as in...

  8. AHC: Southern Brazil Secedes

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to outline a lead-up of events which leads to circumstances in which southern Brazil (Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) could and would secede post-1900. Have at it.

  9. WI: France doesn't reinstate slavery and its effect on Haiti and Louisiana

    I'm not well versed on why Napoleon reinstated slavery. One reason I've encountered is that his wife Josephine was a West Indian creole whose family still had interests there, so possibly the POD could involve getting her out of the picture. Whatever the POD, I want to discuss what the effects...

  10. Cinema in a CP Victory TL

    What would cinema be like in a CP victory TL? Presumably we would have a much larger German film industry with the Zollverein as a market, captive or not. What would happen to F.W. Murnau and Fritz Lang? Would German Expressionism be strangled in the cradle by more optimistic fare or would the...

  11. PC: Dust Bowl in Alternate North Americas and its effects

    How differently would the Dust Bowl have affected the nations of the following alternate North Americas or combinations thereof? Obviously a lot will depend on the particular circumstances of each scenario, but I don't want to elaborate too much on that for fear of derailing the thread. • A...

  12. AHC & WI: Kansas is admitted as a slave state and secedes

    The challenge is to have Kansas admitted as a slave state and then secede as part of the CSA, preferably with majority popular support within the state. As I understand it, the odds of this happening are quite low, so try to show your work. Secondly, how would this affect an alternate ACW if...

  13. WI: No Mississippian Culture Implosion

    Springboarding off something raised in another thread: What if this culture hadn't imploded? In the areas where the remnants of this culture did come into contact with Europeans, they were no pushovers. How would it have affected European encroachment in the Americas?

  14. AHC & WI: Byzantine Iconoclasts Win

    How can the iconoclasts 'win' so that icon veneration is never restored and iconoclasm becomes an ingrained part of the Orthodox faith? How does it affect the Empire and the ideology of the state? Are they further weakened in the west and/or strengthened in the east? How does it affect the...

  15. AHC & WI: All the Border States try to Secede Along with the South

    The challenge is to have all the border states attempt to secede with the South. Even if one or more of the border states fail to secede, the OTL CSA must succeed. For the purposes of this thread, the border states are defined as: Delaware Kentucky Maryland Missouri It can be due to a...

  16. AHC: Austromarxist Revolution in the Austro-Hungarian Empire

    The challenge is a revolution (or any kind of takeover really) of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by the Austromarxist movement or analoguous movement. Nineteenth century PODs are permitted. If you choose to use an analoguous ideology, it must contain a national personal autonomy principle/'personal...

  17. AHC: Bundist millets/statelets within another state

    The challenge is to create Bundist millets or statelets (whatever you want to term them) within another state or states. Although the General Jewish Labour Bund was only founded in 1897, I'm putting the challenge in pre-1900 to allow more chances to boost the movement or an equivalent ideology...

  18. AHC & WI: No White Australia Policy

    The challenge is to prevent the White Australia Policy. Captain Obvious says, "This may require a very different colonisation of Australia with very different roles for civil administrators and workers in early Australian society. The Australian labour movement will probably have to be...

  19. AHC & WI: Maximum Territory of a Single, Unified Fulani Jihad State

    The challenge is the creation of the largest, plausible, single and unified 'Fulani jihad state'. Show your work and feel free to speculate what the repercussions would be. It can be achieved through a federation of Fulani jihad states or a single empire with continuity expanding continuously.

  20. AHC: Independent, German-speaking, Socialist Upper Midwest

    Not sure if I got the adjective order in the title right. I'm rather fond of the 'Deutsche Athen' cultural millieu and the 48ers. I won't require an independent nation cut out from the Union, because that would be a mighty feat indeed, but the challenge is to create an independent...
