  2. Could Mexico retake Texas?

  3. WI Rome also had Theodosian Walls ?

  5. What would an Anarchist Russian Revolution look like?

    As we know the Bolsheviks won out, and the grisly, bloody history of Soviet Russia totalitarian dictatorship took over much of Europe before bowing out with a fizzle rather than a bang. How would an Anarchist led Russia have fared, would it be just as bloody as the Bolsheviks or could things...

  10. What reforms could russian rulers enact to prevent the Russian Revolution?

    I thought I'd pop this question in pre-1900 as I think that any changes made by russia would take a long time to develop. What realistic reforms could russian rulers enact in the 18th and 19th century that would lead to a happier population and prevent the 1905 and revolution?
  11. WWII: Could the Allies invade Germany in spring 1940?

    Instead of sitting back behind Maginot what if the French and British launch a full frontal attack on Germany? Could this be done and how far would they get, or could they go all the way and knock Germany out earlier in the war?
  12. Could Electricity, and / or refrigeration be 'invented' in the middle ages?

    Refrigeration; it's a marvelous thing isn't it? I suppose electricity and the generating of such power was important in the development of refrigeration and modern food supply chains, leading to the virtual ending of world hunger (mostly). Could electricity be discovered much earlier, say in...

    Having recently looked at a map I couldn't help but notice the countries names which end in -stan in asia are all geographically next to each other and covers a very large area.
