    Most interesting scenario to you.

    I've been a fan and stickler for surviving French Second Empire TLs, even better if wanked.

    American, European, and Oceanian megafauna survive.

    I think of all the semi-large to large landmasses, it would be least ASB to have the Malagasy megafauna (such as the elephant birds and Megaladapis) survive as I believe Madagascar was the last "large" island to have a permanent human settlement. I think it would be simple to butterfly away the...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Seems that the British Isles are now under the sea.

    AHC: Korea "pulls a Meiji", Japan doesn't

    Queen Min may mean that Korea and the United States enter an alliance a-la the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of OTL as France (in my scenario above) may become a noteworthy competitor to American expansion (the Napoleons still possibly ruling at this point, with the Japanese victory being enough of a...

    AHC: Save the dodo bird

    Either the island becomes the personal property of some Arabian monarch and entry is prohibited, or the island itself isn't settled until the late 19th century/early 20th century when modern ecological conservation methods are in place. Even in the latter the dodo will still probably end up...

    AHC: Korea "pulls a Meiji", Japan doesn't

    Get France to have a heavier hand in the Boshin War (and also have Britain have lesser involvement), ensuring a Tokugawa victory. Eventually Japan becomes forced into being a de facto French protectorate by the late 1880s, around which time Korea modernizes due to the continuing decay of China...

    WI: Nintendo Bought Sega?

    The Shenmue series becomes one of Nintendo's flagship IPs among the ranks of franchises like Mario and Legend of Zelda and has more titles released than currently.

    WI: Trump runs in 2012 as an Independent

    Really depends on his running mate, but even so he'll only get a relative handful of votes and won't make a dent in the popular vote, as @Centralen says. I don't think he'd get a single electoral vote, even from a faithless elector (who would be much more likely to vote for a different candidate...

    AHC: A country on Antarctica

    A fully-independent sovereign state is pushing it but perhaps a conflict between Chile and Argentina following some spur of interest in exploring the peninsula results in a protectorate or local-rule type system on the peninsula where either Argentina or Chile is the protector, or there is a...

    A landmark court case defining fair use for material of educational purposes. The name stems from a film class’ use of clips of the Japanese monster film Godzilla for the purposes of teaching prop use and directing techniques. Mississippi Queen

    Alternate Capital Cities

    A weaker Russian performance in WWI combined with a much more successful British performance could have made Erzurum the capital of the late Ottoman Empire/Turkey.

    Domesticated Capybaras

    Natives would have to domesticate dogs to be able to hunt such an animal with the habits, that wtw mentioned.

    WI the Vikings bring Turkeys back to Europe?

    Turkeys did not occur natively so far north as Newfoundland area, I think. The Vikings would have to go far south, like Massachusetts or Long Island, to get them.

    AHC/WI: Korea was American/Russian/French/German/British colony

    I imagine had Korea come under the United States it could have ended up a lot like Cuba, or Panama: occupied as a protectorate for a very long time, restricted heavily by American economic and strategic interests. Maybe, this lessens American interests in the Philippines, leading Germany or...

    WI/AHC: US Colonial Empire in Africa

    Maybe with a smaller US? Like maybe just the New England and Mid Atlantic region? Less resources in less territory could drive a need for some African colonies, maybe Asian ones too.

    AH Challenge: “Reverse Gypsies”

    There already was, the Indo-European migration. :rolleyes: But honestly, it might be a stretch, but could the ancestors of the Magyars go south to India instead of west to Europe?

    AHC: Korean Hokkaido

    Preferably with a PoD later than 1000 CE, how can Korea colonize Hokkaido in the same way Japan did in the 1800's?
