  1. WI: 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic kills Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton?

    I've been looking into the 1793 Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic and it got me wondering, how would US politics play out if Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton all ended up dying from it (incidentally there are threads on here asking about each of those figures dying but not all of them)? For...

  2. PC: Wokou Viking Age

    I'm thinking, could a fractured post-Yuan China and a stable Japan that avoids the Sengoku Jidai result in an East Asian Viking Age? My thinking is that a fractured China would make it much harder to defend against Wokou raiders (which I know wasn't limited to Japanese pirates). A more stable...

  3. PC: Muslim Ming Dynasty?

    Muslims played a pretty big role in the Ming government and there were numerous Muslim generals in the Red Turban Rebellion that overthrew the Yuan, at least one of whom was allegedly adopted by the Hongwu Emperor. The Hongwu Emperor's wife, Empress Xiaocigao/Ma Hou, also had a common Muslim...

  4. PC: Successful Conciliarism paving to way to reconciling the Great Schism?

    I'm working on an idea for a timeline where, amongst other things, the Conciliar Movement wins out. In addition to an earlier Reformation and more successful Ottoman Empire and Golden Horde this eventually leads to the Orthodox and Catholic Churches reconciling in order to provide a more united...

  5. PC/WI: Fourth Abrahamic Religion in Medieval Spain and North Africa?

    I have an idea for a timeline where a new Abrahamic religion emerges in Al-Andalus out of the diverse religious milieu there. They also acknowledge Muhammad as a prophet sent to purify the faith but view the Caliphate as having become corrupted and heretical, taking many Kharijite influences...

  6. Superstate Deathmatch

    A concept I've been working on for a while I informally call the Superstate Deathmatch timeline. The PoD is that in the aftermath of WW1 the German and Hungarian revolutions are mostly successful and are able to link up with the Russians. This kicks off a new round of conflict against the...

  7. WI: The Catholic Church Acquires Microsoft?

    I've been looking into hoaxes, pseudohistory and conspiracy theories lately for a timeline idea I'm mulling over. One of the fun things I came across was that one of the first internet memes/hoaxes to gain a mass audience was the claim that Microsoft had acquired the Catholic Church in 1994. It...

  8. WI/AHC: All the Kennedy Assassination Conspiracies are true at the same time?

    Not sure if this should go here or in ASB, mods feel free to move it if you think that's a better place, but I've had this idea for a crazy scenario where all of the theories of Kennedy's Assassination are at least partially true. They don't necessarily have to be in cahoots with each other but...

  9. AHC: Reconstruct Pseudohistory and Debunked Theories

    I've been thinking of is taking various pseudohistorical claims and debunked historical hypotheses, such as the Pagan Witch-Cult hypothesis or the various theories about the fates of the Lost Tribes of Israel, and it's given me an idea for an alternate history challenge/thought experiment. Take...

  10. PC: 14th and 15th Century Bourgoeis Revolutions?

    I've been doing a bit of research into the Peasants Revolt for a quest I'm working on and the more I research the time period the more I'm beginning to think that there could have been potential for a proto-Liberal Bourgeois Revolution during the 14th and 15th Centuries. The whole period was...

  11. AHC: Have the 1905 Revolutions spill over into Germany and Austria-Hungary

    I've been thinking about how to get the Second International, or at least a larger section of it, to take a Revolutionary Defeatist stance during WW1 instead of most of them backing their own countries and break up the International. One thing I've been thinking of is that the 1905 Russian...

  12. AHC/WI: No COINTELPRO

    How would one go about preventing, or at least significantly weakening the FBI's COINTELPRO program? What would be the main consequences of this?

  13. AHC/WI: Abbasid Revolution installs an Alid as Caliph?

    As I understand it the Abbasid Revolution had a lot of support from various Shia movements who were opposed to Umayyad rule, with some of them hoping that they would install an Alid as Caliph. This ultimately didn't happen, partly because the primary Shia opposition leaders had been killed and...

  14. WI: Jacobin-majority Directorate

    I've been doing a lot of looking into the First French Republic lately and one thing I've been thinking about is what would the consequences of the Jacobins securing a majority over the Directorate? In the years before 18 Brumaire the previous two Directors elected had been Jacobins which...

  15. PC: Umayyad conquest of Constantinople results in an earlier Christianisation of Bulgaria

    I often think about the consequences of an Muslim conquest of Constantinople and one thing I think could happen is that the Bulgars might end up converting to Christianity earlier. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, they already had a sizable Christian community, which would be...

  16. WI: Liao Zhongkai survives

    What would be the consequences for interwar Chinese politics if Liao Zhongkai had survived his assassination relatively unscathed? How would this effect the balance of power in the KMT and would Hu Hanmin take the fall for the attempt?

  17. PC: Christian-Hindu Syncretism?

    An idea I've been mulling over for a while is what if early Christianity established a stronger presence in India ended up syncretised with Hinduism and/or Buddhism? Jesus is reimagined as an Avatar of Vishnu, the Trinity is syncretised with the Trimurti and salvation through Jesus' sacrifice...

  18. WI: Successful Fürstenenteignung in Weimar Germany?

    The Fürstenenteignung was a proposed expropriation of the dynastic properties of the former ruling houses of Germany during the Weimar Republic. Due to the difficulties in getting it passed through parliamentary means the KPD campaigned to have a petition on expropriation without compensation...

  19. WI: Cold War Draka

    I have an idea for a timeline where the Draka exist but, rather than being a continent-spanning mega empire that roflstomps everyone, they're confined to being a regional power in Southern Africa controlling all of the OTL British territory south of Tanganyika. The main focus would be on...

  20. PC: Irish Zionism

    Over the long series of unfortunate events that make up the history of Anglo-Irish relations vast numbers of Irish left the emerald isle to make a better life for themselves what with all the famine and centuries of being kicked around by Perfidious Albion. As a result whilst there are roughly...
