  1. DBWI: Disunited Italy

    Northern Italy unified only in the early 15th century by Gian Galeazzo Visconti and grew to eventually encompass the whole peninsula, but what if he died before he united his domain into a single state? Would Italy remain disunited for centuries more, eventually brought into order by HRE or...

  2. DBWI: Alexander II of Russia assassinations succeeded

    There were a number of unsuccessful attempts on his life from 1866 onwards. What if any of them succeeded?

  3. DBWI: Huey Long dies in 1935 assasination attempt?

    What it says in the title.

  4. DBWI: Communist east, Capitalist west

    We all know that by the Marxist theory communist revolutions can happen only once the critical mass of the proletariat is achieved, thus the revolutions in the east are extremely unlikely. But in the aftermarth of the Great War, when Russia was quite unstable, they had huge socialist/communist...

  5. DBWI: No repercussions for the Armenian Genocide?

    As we all know that in response to the unprecedented atrocities committed by the Ottoman Empire towards Armenians, and in fact, any kind of Christians within its borders during the Great War led to the post war enforcement of the extremely severe Sevres Treaty by the League of Nations and...

  6. Question: fate of Quebec in the US

    So, let's say Quebec joined the US or was conquered during the Revolutionary War, how would it develop? Could it be admitted as a state, and if yes what rights can it retain, from french language to the civil law? What territories of Quebec province can it retain? Or would it be largely seen as...

  7. DBAHC: Have post-1991 Russia revert into autocracy

    Your challange is to make Russia fall back into an autocratic state after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It can be difficult to imagine, what with it being the shining beacon of democracy amid western decline into populism, but maybe have a POD in the 90's?

  8. DBWI: Loyalist revisionism in independent America?

    As many Rebel leaders became accepted and some even admired in the Dominion of North America through a movement of Rebel Revisionism, would there eventually be a similar movement for rehabilitation of american loyalists and His Majesty George III if the colonies succeded in their "revolution"...

  9. AHC: Switch Romania and Bulgaria

    With a POD after 681 can you make it so that proto-romanian latin-speaking population remains south of the Danube, preferably coalescing into their own state and identity, while slavic population settles north of Danube in OTL Romania? As far as I understand both populations were pretty heavily...

  10. DBAHC: British "British Empire"

    So, the challange is simple - prevent the gradual shifting of power from British Isles to the North America(or elsewhere) and have Britain achieve a global empire. Bonus points if they still are number one power in 19th and 20th century.

  11. DBWI: Turkish Constantinople

    It seems that a year before WWI there was an unsuccessful assasination attempt on George I of Greece. What if it succeeds? His heir Constantine was a famous germanophile, and he probably would have stalled Greek enterance into the war on the side of Entente. Would it be enough for Turkey to...

  12. DBAHC: Screw Rhomania

    Since rhomans tend to fall back on their heartland in Anatolia, from which they always subsequently recower, what can put their statehood to an end?

  13. WI: Kazakhstan remains an autonomy?

    Kazakhstan most likely had russian plurality at the time of its creation in 1936, as this demographic shift happened in 1930-1933, so what if it remained an ASSR inside RSFSR under the 1936 constitution? What difference would it make inside Soviet Union? And if(when) it dissolves what would it...

  14. DBWI: Second American Rebellion is a success

    So, a generation after the first Rebellion in 1776, several southern Dominions of North America declared a second one against Britain, this time over the retention of slavery. OTL the northern Dominions managed to put it down with heavy British support, but what if the British remain tied down...

  15. DBAHC: Prevent Novgorodian Rus'

    With a POD after 1150, prevent Novgorod from consolidating power in the north and later forcing most of former Kievan Rus' into a new confederation with him at the helm. But please refrain from using a certain baltic pagan tribe escaping the Crusaders wrath, conquering most of Rus', forming a...

  16. DBAHC: Prevent modern American dynasticism

    As we all know for almost 30 years US Presidents come from two families: Clinton and Bush. With Jeb replacing Hillary in the White House earlier this year, there are already talks of Chelsea run in 2020 or 2024. Your task is to make only one person from each family reach Oval Office with POD in...

  17. WI: No gifting of Crimea in 1954?

    What if, for whatever reason, Khruschev never transfers Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR? I doubt it'd have major impact before the collapse of the SU, but after collapse of the Union(let's be deterministic here) there would be a more western-leaning Ukraine, if a bit smaller, and stronger Russian...

  18. DBWI: Planned economy persisting in USSR?

    What if USSR kept it's planned economy instead of gradually adopting capitalist principles with increasing focus on computarization we saw OTL since Kosygin's "Desyatiletka"(1970-1980)? I guess a good POD would be averting assassination of Leonid Brezhnev in 1969, as he was a big opponent of his...

  19. DBWI: Red China?

    So, what if Communists win Chinese Civil War? It obviously should help USSR, but would it be enough to avoid OTL liberalization and loss of East Block? And what would be the effects on Asia?

  20. DBWI: No Ross Perot in 1992

    As we all know it was the second US presidential election where no candidate achieved EC majority. So what if it Perot either didn't run or withdrew from the race?
