  1. WI: Meiji Ethiopia

    Carrying this over from the post-1900 thread suggestion- would it be plausible to have Ethiopia entering its equivalent of the Meiji Era in an ATL, prior to 1900? If so, how might the subsequent timeline develop, and how profoundly might it diverge from our own? And which POD would be the best...

  2. WI: The Burr Conspiracy succeeds, creating "The Empire Of The West"?

  3. WI: Michigan won the Toledo War?

  5. WI: Japanese-Ethiopian Alliance

  7. WI: Oregon declares Independence?

    Here's one which I've been thinking about: WI the early Champoeg Meetings (specifically, those in early 1842 in Oregon City, at the Oregon Lyceum), had gone differently?

  8. WI: Queen Victoria assassinated?

    After reading this very interesting article about the tale of this city which would never be realized IOTL, I decided to set this AHC for it. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create (or postulate) a plausible ATL in which the city of 'BoozeTown', USA (or another city...

  10. WI: Vikings conquer West Francia?

    Carrying over from this thread: I've been reading up on this relatively obscure Viking warrior from the late 9th century, Hastein, and I'm just wondering- which POD, involving the events surrounding this man, looks like it'd be the promising to pursue in an ATL? Would it have been plausible...

    One of the most famous Viking raids was Hastein's voyage to the Mediterranean (859-862AD), having set out with Björn Ironside, another son of Ragnar Lodbrok with 62 ships from the Loire. At first the raiding did not go well, with Hastein being defeated by the Asturians and later the Muslims of...

  12. AHC: Muslim Birmingham

    Based on the recent gaffe by Steven Emerson during a Fox News Interview, in which he described Birmingham (in the UK, not in Alabama) as a "Muslim-only city" where non-Muslims "don't go" during a Fox News interview. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a plausible...

  13. AHC: "North America Best America!"

    IOTL, there's not much doubt that it is.

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with an ATL where China regains its historical place as the world's largest economy (with the largest GDP, by PPP) by the present day, with a POD after 1900.
