  1. The Centaur of the North: A Short Mexican Revolution TL

    The Centaur of the North Doroteo Arango looked from atop his horse to the men working about and was filled with pride again. If he was honest with himself, he had been defeated; El Perfumado had won the round. Sure, it could have been worse, he could have ordered more charges at the enemy...

  2. Civil War without the Mexican-American War?

    Let's assume for some reason Mexico collapses in the early 40s and, instead of fighting a war to get California and all that, the US simply swoops in and takes them without a fight. Then things go more or less OTL till we get the Civil War. How would the Civil War play out in this scenario...

  3. From Mexico to the World 2.0: A TL

    So, after losing all my data I had to find my resources from scratch, which actually led me to other places I didn't know, making me change quite a few parts of the original outline. Now I present to you the new and improved TL about Mexico during the Porfiriato. Enjoy, and as always comments...

  4. Tampico Affair Leads to War

    From Wikipedia: "The Tampico Affair began as a minor incident involving U.S. sailors and Mexican land forces loyal to Mexican dictator[1] General Victoriano Huerta during the guerra de las facciones (faction wars) phase of the Mexican Revolution. A misunderstanding occurred on April 9, 1914...

  5. From Mexico to the World: A TL

    Welcome to my new TL! This is a reboot of my old "Order and Progress" story. After seeing the approach the amazing "Barbarossa 1905" took I got inspired to take this up again. So, after some more research and retooling the story, I believe it's ready to see the light of day. Without further...

  6. Realistic Effects of a CSA Gettysburg "Gingrich" Victory

    I've been re-read Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen's Gettysburg Trilogy, since it's my favorite AH novels. One of the oddest things in the trilogy is the North's reaction to the Confederate victory in Gettysburg. The Army of the Potomac is pretty much gone after the fight, not to be back for...

  7. AHC: Grande Allemagne

    According to the website I found it in, this was "Published in [a] French magazine, Sure le vif in 1918, what Europe might have looked like had Germany won the First World War." Your challenge is to somehow make it happen, and speculate about the possible effects of the massive Germany and...

  8. The effect of no trust busting?

    How could you avoid the trust busing during the early 20th Century in the US, and what would be the effects of companies running rampant? I have this vague idea in my mind of a revolution in the US, but that's not my area of expertise so I'll let smarter people answer this

  9. From Bad to Better: A Confederate TL

    Welcome to my second TL! Since I'm stuck in my Mexico TL and need to do a bit more research, I decided to do my own CSA TL in the meantime. I had this planned for a while, but I was inspired to actually write it down by herrick's own TL. Without further ado, here's my TL. As always, comments...

  10. No Roosevelt?

    What would be the effects of either no Theodore Roosevelt presidency or just a single term? He did a lot for the trust busting as well as national parks, plus ended the Russo Japanese War and many other things. Though I'm more interested in the effects on businesses not limited, you can talk...

  11. Order and Progress: An Alternate History of the Porfiriato and Beyond

    Order and Progress: An Alternate History of the Porfiriato and Beyond Part 1 While everyone else celebrated the 80th anniversary of the country's independence – which also happened to be his birthday – President Porfirio Diaz fumed in his office. When he came to power in 1876 he set about...

  12. Order and Progress: An Alternate History of Mexico

    Order and Progress: An Alternate History of Mexico Foreword Porfirio Diaz is a very polarizing figure in Mexican history. While it is undeniable that it was thanks to him Mexico rose from international laughingstock to one of the most powerful countries in North America, many correctly point...

  13. American troops used as replacements in WWI?

    When the US finally entered WWI, France and England wanted to use the American troops to replace their own losses on the battlefield. American officials, though, refused and instead formed their own units, leading to the end of the war. What if they had been used as the European powers wanted...

  14. What's the fascination with the Rio Grande Republic?

    I've read my fair share of Mexico TLs in this site, and for some reason in many of them, when/if Mexico balkanizes there's always a Republic of the Rio Grande. Why is that? OTL it didn't even last a year, didn't do anything noteworthy, and collapsed when its leaders decided to take the Mexican...

  15. Lincoln without the ACW?

    As the title says, how would the Lincoln presidency have been without the American Civil War? I'm curious as to what programs he would have enacted, policies, and if he would have been re-elected. Also, how would Lincoln be remembered as a president if there hadn't been such a conflict?

  16. The Legacy of Diaz: An Alternate History of Mexico

    The Legacy of Diaz: An Alternate History of Mexico Introduction Porfirio Diaz is a very polarizing figure in Mexican history. While it is undoubtedly thanks to him that Mexico became the power it is today, critics correctly point out he accomplished what he did at the cost of freedoms and the...

  17. The French Hitler?

    Let's say Germany wins the WWI in 1918, maybe by having the Spring Offensive better planned and with actual goals and such, and enacts a Versailles-type treaty on France. If France were to turn revanchist and follow a path similar to OTL's Nazi Germany, who would be their leader? And how well...

  18. Best timing for Hitler's death?

    Best for the Germans, at least. Basically, despite his many, many, many flaws, in the early stages of WWII Hitler was quite a good leader for the German army. He was the one who chose 1939 to attack instead of 1942 as all his generals wanted, because he knew by then France and Britain would...

  19. President most likely to start a war on impulse?

    Which president, before or after 1900, do you think is the most likely to have started a war on impulse? By that I mean without a country declaring war on the US or its allies, but by insulting the president or the country in some real or imagined way. My guess would be Teddy Roosevelt, since...

  20. Would a Mexico under Maximilian really be that bad?

    I've read quite a few books and TLs about France successfully conquering Mexico (usually thanks to the CSA winning the ACW, but that's not important), and the country always ends up as a backwater shithole. Now, Maximilian I was actually a rather liberal man, trying to help the poor of Mexico...
