  1. Does surviving Ottoman empire lead to a peaceful middle east?

    In an ATL where Ottoman empire survives and thrives (either in a no world war or central power victory scenario) how much more peaceful would the middle east be? I'm thinking specifically regarding a world without Saudi arabia and the Israel/Palestine conflict, both of which could be avoided...
  2. PC: Russian civil war so brutal that the caucuses, central Asia and Ukraine/Belarus secure independence

    What is the plausibility that the Russian civil war could drag on for so long that these states could break away permanently from Russia and avoid being reincorporated into the USSR or just Russia again if the whites win? Who would have the best odds of surviving long term independently?
  3. Environmentalism without the World Wars

    Climate change would become more unignorable earlier on ITTL. No WWs means Europe has a significantly larger population, in particular Russia and Germany. Rich countries disproportionately omit CO2, and with more people living in developed countries climate change would be a bigger issue earlier.
  4. AHC: USA as a (male) soccer/football super power with a 1900 POD

    While pro/reg is a tradition in Europe I don't think it is necessarily required to have a thriving league, and assuming the ASL can stay popular and financially stable through the great depression it is likely it could naturally spread throughout the entire country, and maybe down the line...
  5. AHC: USA as a (male) soccer/football super power with a 1900 POD

    With a 1900 POD how can the US be turned into a soccer/football powerhouse in the men's game? Being a world power with their national team aswell as having a league that competes with Europe?

  7. PC: China becoming first communist nation

    Is it plausible for China to become communist before Russia or in a timeline where the Bolshevik revolution in Russia fails or never happens, or is this ASB territory? China seems to have the ingredients to go communist post 1911 revolution, with alot of poor and oppressed peasants, political...
  8. AHC: Stable Haiti

    With a 1900 POD how can Haiti develop into a stable nation state with an economic living standard at minimum comparable to it's neighbor Dominican Republic?

  10. PC: Russia remains total Monarchy to present day

    With better leadership ability from Nicky, avoiding the disastrous Russo-Japanese wars which caused a mini revolution and the even more disastrous move of getting into WW1 which lead to total revolution and him and his family getting killed. What if instead he listens to his advisers more on...
  11. Was Trans Atlantic Slave Trade inevitable with European Colonization of Americas?

    Is there any plausible alternate history scenario where the European colonization of Americas could happen WITHOUT African slavery? What would have to happen in Europe's history to prevent it? Or is there something that could of happened in Africa's development that could of prevented it? Since...
  12. What would a space race in a no world wars TL look like?

    Since the space race IOTL is so deeply connected to the cold war, in a TL without world wars, how do you think a space race would develop? Would a Tsarist Russia be able to compete? Would Germany without the massive brain drain be favorites to reach the moon first or would it still be the US?
  13. Effects on Asia if China wins 1st Sino-Japanese war

  14. PC: India as rich as otl China

    With a 1900 POD can India’s economy develop as successfully as China did otl? Or is this considered ASB? Both countries have similar populations yet Chinas GDP is around 6 times greater than that of India.

  17. LGBT rights in a surviving USSR

    Needless to say, LGBT rights in most post soviet nations are pretty dire, but if the fall of the USSR never occurs in an ATL, how would things change? The USSR liked to portray itself as morally superior to the west, but in the early 2000s countries in western Europe were starting to legalize...
  18. AHC: Africa same GDP per capita as South America
