    WI ISIS Killed Bashar Al-Assad

    With ISIS pretty much kicked out of Syria I feel comfortable asking this WI to my fellow Alternate Historians. What if ISIS/IS/Daesh was able to kill Bashar Al-Assad? Could be as simple as a sleeper cell suicide bomber. I would think a good place would be to blow up at what ever Mosque Assad...

    Independent South Yemen name

    If the Southern Transitional Council succeeds in making Southern Yemen independent. What do you think they'll call their new country? Republic of Aden? Republic of South Yemen? Restore the old Democratic Republic of Yemen? As of now I can't find an offical name for their new country if they...

    Italian Empire's Offical Name Under Mussolini

    It's been discussed here plenty of times if Mussolini won and how he could have won. So I'm not here to ask about that. If Mussolini did win though, ideally rejects Hitler as he did seen him as a clown and a barbarian no different then the Germanic peoples of Roman times. Let's say he's able...

    Vladimir Lenin a German Puppet

    Germany sent Vladimir Lenin from exile in Switzerland to Russia to take command of the Russian Revolution. Their goal was to get Russia out of the war. But I was thinking, say Germany wins WW1, and Lenin still succeeds in toppling Tsar Nicholas II. With a victorious Germany, would the Soviet...

    Etruscan Italy

    Quite simply when people think of Etrusca replacing Rome they think of an Etruscan Empire, which frankly was impossible. With that said, what if Etrusca simply won the Roman-Etruscan Wars putting Rome and her city states under Etrusca. Effectively except for a few Greek city states, who would...

    WI: No Carthage

    What if Carthage simply didn't exist? The Phoceanian traders and Dido (first queen of Carthage) didn't build Carthage or settle that area of North Africa (modern day Tunisia). What would the effects on the Mediterranean be without a Carthaginian trade power? Could a Rome as we know it even...

    Question: Cult of Immortality

    Why did many ancient cultures have a cult of immortality. I mean the Britons had naked warriors who would run out to battle wearing nothing but shorts. The Dacians and Thracians had Falx and Rhomphilia warriors who would run out wearing nothing but pants. I've read that Gauls, Berbers, Iranians...

    WI: Even More Successful Islamic Golden Age

    The Islamic Golden Age was roughly between 750 AD to 1258 AD. During this time the Islamic world and the whole world because of the advancements of the Islamic world had a period of profound technological, scientific and societal advancements. What if, the Islamic Golden Age had been even more...

    WI: Germanic Tribes Had a Stronger Sense of Unity

    The Germanic tribes/peoples in OTL had a very vague sense of unity that only really showed itself when a massive power like Rome showed itself. Even then it was very unstable. So, what if the Germanic tribes had a stronger sense of unity, similar to the Gallic tribes. The only thing I can think...

    AHC: United Celtiberia

    Just as the title says, unite the Celtiberian tribes. Likely against Rome or Carthage. I don't exactly expect this Union/Confederation to last very long but if you can make it last, that's even better.

    Celts Spread Further

    The Celts in our timeline had spread as far as Galatia in Anatolia. What if they went further then Anatolia like Persia, North Africa, Arabia, and/or the Asian steppes, maybe further? How could they affect the cultures and peoples of their new neighbors? Could we see modern Celto-Africans...

    Pontic Thracia

    Could Pontus have ever had a colony in Thracia? I mean Thracia is right next to them and it would only further secure Pontic influence over the Black Sea. Plus Thracia already had a Greco-Thracian influence because of trade with Macedon, and other Greek city-states.

    AHC: Make the Hijri Calendar the Most Widely Used Calendar

    Islam seems to be a favorite topic on here. So, allow me to give you a challenge. Make the Hijri Calendar (Islamic Calendar) as widely used as the Gregorian Calendar today. Try not to just say "Make Islam the Majority Religion", be creative, think about it, the Hijri Calendar was advanced...

    Islam replaces Judaism

    Prophet Muhammad wanted to please the Jews in his early years and when they didn't convert to Islam, he gave up on them. So, what if, Islam completely replaced Judaism? What if Jews accepted Muhammad and his religion as the true and final revelation of God?

    AHC: Zalmoxianism

    Hello everyone, I have an interesting challenge for those who like ancient religions. Zalmoxianism was the Cult of the Dacian people. Zalmoxis was a slave who over the years from his teachings turned into a god. Zalmoxis taught the immortality of the soul and of an afterlife similar to that of...

    WI: Carthage Influences Gaul

    Say the Carthaginians win the Second Punic War and just to avoid a Third Punic War they conquer Rome. Several years later they conquer Massilia for control over the Mediterranean. At this point, Carthage is the undisputed master of the Mediterranean once more. Now, with a Punic city that close...

    Zalmoxis Cult into Modern Monotheism

    The Dacians had one of the most advanced religions compared to their polytheistic neighbors, including the Romans. The Dacians primarily worshipped the Thracian quasi-god Zalmoxis with a mix of Celtic and Germanic influences. How could the Dacian Cult of Zalmoxis have developed into organized...

    Pre-Islamic Arab Empire

    Was there a leader, entire tribe or Kingdom within Arabia that had the ambition or the ability to create an Arab Empire before the Arab Muslim empire of the Rashidun Caliphate? By Arab Empire I mean the unification of the Arab people, likely against a common enemy like the Egyptian, Seleciuds...

    Professional Carthaginian Army

    How could Carthage have created a professional army, instead of mercenaries? Correct if I'm wrong but isn't the reason that they didn't was because Carthage had a lot of skilled people in the capital (Carthage). So, why didn't they just levy troops from Iberia, Berber North Africa, Sicily, or...

    Hammonism (Alternate Religion)

    I'm trying to create an alternate religion in which Carthage wipes away the old gods and instead forms a Ba'al Hammon (Lord Hammon) Monotheism, or Hammonism. As much as I try to find information on Ba'al Hammon it's shrouded in so much Roman propaganda. So, I'd like to ask some people who know...
