  1. Support for Scottish Home Rule in 1919

    If there was a plebiscite in Scotland in 1919 on the establishment of a Scottish parliament, as laid out by the 1913 Government of Scotland bill, what would the outcome be? And what would it mean for British politics? I'm playing a roleplaying forum game at the moment (link below) set in 1919...

  2. WI: No or Limited Devolution in Wales and Scotland

    Devolution has changed the substance of Welsh and Scottish politics utterly, of that there is no doubt. But what if there had never been any devolution settlement? What impact would either avoiding the twin referendums in 1997 or watering down the settlement have on politics in the UK? A...

  3. WI: Khrushchev doesn't give the Secret Speech

    So I'm currently playing Nikita Khrushchev in a forum game (Balance of Power) and I was wondering what the effects might be if Khrushchev had not given the secret speech in 1956? Could we see for example European communists doing better in elections? Might the Hungary uprising be butterflied?

  4. Scottish, Welsh and Irish Population Growth Rates

    Drawing from this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=315137 and in particular this graph posted by Queen Edward: I was wondering what the UK would look like if post 1800 Scotland, Wales and Ireland had the same population growth rates as England...

  5. AHC: Glasgow-Edinburgh Wank

    I was thinking about how the greenbelts have effected growth in Edinburgh when I started wondering what a combined Glasgow-Edinburgh city would look like. So, your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to have Edinburgh and Glasgow grow so large they almost merge into one city. Bonus...

  6. AHC: SNP are as republican as Sinn Féin

    Your goals are two fold, first the SNP are to achieve the level of success they have had in OTL and second they are to be as republican (if not necessarily as associated with terrorism) as Sinn Féin. So that means any Westminister seat won my the SNP must not be sat in due to the SNP member...

  7. British Opposition to German Reunification

    If the British had decided to seriously oppose German reunification what could they have done about it? This question comes as I am currently involved in a 1960s (1962) RP game where both Germans want to reunite and have the permission of all the major powers bar me to do so and I just...

  8. British Empire post 1961

    How many colonies can the British hope to keep after 1961? Or a easier question might be how can the UK maximise its influence worldwide post 1950s? I know Suez is often given as the easiest POD for a more powerful UK but could the UK conceivable take actions such as incorporating Malta into...

  9. WI: French take over of the Congo Free State

    In OTL the investment needed in the Congo almost bankrupt Leopold the King of the Belgians. In order to get French recognition of his colony he promised the French right of first buy. So in this WI the Belgian parliament refuses to grant him any funds to keep his colony in the Congo going and...

  10. DBWI: AHC Remove the Shah

    So we all know that the Shah of Iran was one of the only Middle Eastern leaders to survive the Arab uprisings of 2009-2010 (Saudi Arabia was in a very bad situation for a while). In OTL he gave concessions, modernised, redistributed oil income and cut military expenditure, even without this Iran...

  11. AHC: Have ChapHop reach Number 1

    You heard me gents. Have ChapHop reach number 1 in the British charts. Bonus points if it reaches number 1 in the American charts as well and extra bonus points if it is played in the London Olympic Opening Ceremony. A million points if the style of living advocated by The Chap magazine become...

  12. On Combating the Bolsheviks in Transcaspia

    Between 1918 and 1919 there was a Anglo-Indian force of some thousands in modern day Turkmenistan lead by General Wilfrid Malleson (one of the last players of the Great Game). This force had many names (the East Persian Cordon was one as was the Malleson Mission) but its ostensible job was to...
