  1. Instead of a Republic of India, an Indian Empire instead?

    What would it take (pre or post-1900) to have the British Raj become an independent empire with an Indian emperor and a constitutional monarchy?

  2. What would have happened if the Protectorate of South Arabia had been allowed its UN referendum?

    The Protectorate of South Arabia was originally a British protectorate that did not join the Federation of South Arabia (what would become South Yemen). The constituent kingdoms were originally promised a UN referendum on their future but communists invaded and essentially put an end to such a...

  3. What would happen to American politics if the Civil War started in 1850-1851?

    Assuming there was no compromise of 1850, what changes politically about the USA and CSA? Who are the new presidents? Does this butterfly away Lincoln, Johnson, Buchanan, and Grant? Is Jefferson Davis still the presumptive leader of the CSA? Do more slave states join the CSA since the civil war...

  4. Never Setting Sun (Redux): A "Western British Empire" Timeline

    If anyone remembers, years ago I started a TL called 'Never Setting Sun' which involved Canada becoming far more important than OTL within the scope of the British Empire. I had wanted to somewhat parallel the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, but the TL got away from me and it simply wasn't...

  5. Help me with my timeline: the Western British Empire

    So this is something I've been working on for many years, but some things still just don't feel correct or fit as nicely as I'd like to. I'm hoping a fresh set of eyes will yield some new ideas and workability. Basically, I will be posting various 'sections' of the TL in chronological format...

  6. Is there any relatively plausible way to keep the "Indian Empire" together?

    For starters, I don't think (nor am I asking) for ideas on how to keep India a part of the British Empire; that takes an ASB post 1857. Perhaps the Indian subcontinent gets its independence and remains a united subcontinent. This could be earlier or later than OTL, but I'm interested in reading...

  7. What would happen if America acquired little territory from the Mexican-American War?

    What would happen to the Compromise of 1850? Would it simply be butterflied away if America only got a much smaller Texas? Would the Civil War have happened a decade earlier? It's for a TL where America doesn't gain control of either the Oregon Country, most of Texas, and the Mexican...

  8. Despicable Me 2: A Wasted Opportunity

    So I sort of did an impromptu movie review, as well as a way to make it better. Consider it "alternate film development". ---------- So earlier today I finished watching Despicable Me 2 with two of my younger sisters. While it's not a terrible film, there was so much more potential just...

  9. Greater British presence in South America post-Napoleon?

    This is part of my "Western British Empire" TL that I've been rewriting and working on bit by bit, but I was wondering how realistic it would be to have a greater British presence/control in South America? I know that Guyana and Belize are givens by this point (post 1815). Given a weaker...

  10. AHC: Have three "Romes" claim to be the Third Rome.

    This came out of a recent discussion with a few friends. We were talking about Russia and the Ottomans claiming to be the "Third Rome" for various reasons. I eventually got to wondering about how someone could get serious claims to being the "Third Rome". So the challenge is the following...

  11. A truly Canadian Royal Family

    So I'm looking for informed input into a part of one of my TL's that I'm prepping. Essentially, it's a more powerful Canada that comes out of the War of 1812. A concerted effort is made to boost Canada's population, infrastructure, military, etc. due to British worry at once again losing their...

  12. Could Fascist/Authoritarian Portugal and Spain have merged into Iberia in the 30's?

    Just a thought that occured to me. How likely and/or possible is it for the two essentially fascist regimes of Iberia to merge into a single unified republic with overseas territories?

  13. What if Lenin doesn't have a stroke?

    I was having this conversation with two friends earlier, talking about what would happen to Europe and the Soviet Union if Lenin had survived much longer and didn't have two debilitating strokes. My friend Tyler suggested that if Lenin had been able to continue in a healthy state, then WWII...

  14. Some alt. history from CTV...

    From the following article: http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Politics/20111013/royal-succession-rules-david-cameron-changes-111013/ How likely would it have been for Britain to have changed the Act of Settlement in time for Wilhelm to have been Emperor of Germany and Britain? I think it could've...

  15. North Atlantic Union Flag Poll: Final

    Alright, so here are the top three contenders. Please choose your favourite one. Thanks again to Krall for the excellent flags.

  16. Official North Atlantic Union Flag poll

    Alright, so here are the final designs for the North Atlantic Union. Since mine weren't that popular and many wanted(and rightly so) to see what Krall could come up with, lo and behold, here are the flags: EDIT: The North Atlantic Union is a union between the Canadian Federation...

  17. Challenge: No partition of India

    How could this be accomplished? I'm really curious as to how India could achieve its independence from Great Britain while still staying unified as a country. Bonus points if you can prevent Gandhi's assassination or at least delay it for a while.

  18. Expanded British South America?

    I've run into writer's block for a TL of mine that involves a newly created Western British Empire meddling in the collapsing territories of the Spanish Empire in the Americas. I'm looking for suggestions and plausibilities of how best to allow the Western British Empire to expand in South...

  19. North Atlantic Union flag poll

    The following are the top three flags that made it through the first round of nominations and now a final one has to be chosen. Apparently Krall was/is working on another one, but I think he may have forgotten. :p In any case, please vote and pick only one option. Thank you all for helping me...

  20. Flag Poll: North Atlantic Union

    So I've been trying to come up with a flag for the North Atlantic Union in one of my time lines. So far, I have the general colour scheme but can't seem to settle on an appropriate pattern. Please help me make a decision! I know they're terribly bland at the moment, but depending on which ones...
