    Recently I have been interested in the history of the Boxer Rebellion, particulary if it had been a long and disastrous war rather then a “short, splendid little war”. If the International Legations had been stormed and the diplomats killed, China’s general had stood behind their empress and...

  6. AHC: American Invasion of Cuba Post-Cold War

    The challenge is with a POD of divergence after the fall of the USSR is to have the United States launch of Cuba.

  13. Who was the craziest/wackiest Cold War dictator?

    What it says on the tin. By this I don't mean the most mentally ill, I mean most deranged to the extant where truth seems stranger then fiction in how comically, almost cartoonishly evil some of these leaders were. Feel free to vote and debate this, also feel free to suggest any leaders I may...
  14. What if Nixon had not been caught?

    Let's assume that the point of divergence is that Nixon either does not wiretap his opponents or more likely is never caught. How would this influence American policies if Nixon was able to finish his term uninterrupted by impeachment. How would a lack of a President Ford change things.
  15. AHC: Make Tom Tancredo President in 2008

    Now Tom Tancredo would have a good chance if he had entered in 2016 and Trump had not. However the challenge is to make his presidential campaign in 2008 successful in not only getting the nomination but also defeating the Democratic nominee. Once president what would be the results of his...

  20. If Gore had won in 2000 what would his presidency look like and would he win in 2004?

    What it says on the tin, assuming that he never enters Iraq and the economy was performing well I would assume he would manage to win the 2004 election.
