  1. W.I. Loki Was More Popular

    In the early Norse myths, Loki appears to be seen as a trickster spirit that while not always helpful wasn't outright evil. It appears that sometime in the middle years of Norse culture, he eventually became seen as an evil god that had to be locked away under the world and tortured for...

  3. No Isaac Brock. Who leads Upper Canada

    Major General Sir Isaac Brock really didn't want to be in Canada during his tenure between 1802 and 1812. He was hoping to gain glory, renown and cash fighting in Europe against Napoleon. If he had gotten his wish and been replaced in 1810, who do you think his replacement in Upper Canada would...

  4. Earliest Possible Australian Colonization

    I'm certain there are other threads on this topic, but the search engine isn't working for me (tried 4 times) and I don't recall any recent threads. What is the earliest possible date for a European colony in Australia? If the Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon instead of giving up after...

    Summer, 1234, City of Sem capital of the Sem'He-Too Coalition (Location OTL Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) The port bustled with the sound of commerce, boats setting sail and docking, arguing, shrieking birds and beasts of burden. The cool sea breeze was heavily laden with salt, which helped...

  7. Reindeer the North American Domesticate

    How much of an effect would domestic reindeer have on North America if they were domesticated 4000 years ago? They're herd animals that can live during mating season comfortably in the thousands, and in winter in herds of hundreds. They provide milk and meat. They can be ridden although they're...

  8. Seige of Nanjing

    A book I read recently about the Rape of Nanjing had the author, Iris Chang at the end saying that the Chinese army should have stayed and fought in Nanjing. Ms. Chang admitted that the Chinese army would have been defeated, but that the benefits would have outweighed the loses. Basically by...

  10. Real Men Wear Skirts!

    I was reading this unfortunate thread on the ASB forum I am not typing in the title, when this caught my eye: So what type of POD is required to make the male skirt fashionable with at least 80% of the world, and trousers considered appropriate womens wear?

  11. Ruperts Land not bought by Canada

    Ruperts Land was almost refused by Canada at the time of Confederation, due to many people considering it a vast wasteland that would be a drain on the fairly weak economy of Canada. So lets say that the nay sayers win, what would happen to Ruperts Land if Canada hadn't taken it?

  12. Bring out the Guinea Pigs

    Having just bought a guinea pig I started to wonder how we could get the guinea pig to return to its former position as a food animal. I know in the Andes its still an important part of poor peoples diet, but what kind of POD is required to get other groups of people to stop thinking of them as...

  13. Challange: Make the USA either Fascist or Communist

    What are some ways the USA might become some form of Fascist or Communist country with a POD no later than 1934? It doesn't have to be a full blown dictatorship, just assume the major ideals. Extra points if its a full blown dictatorship.

  14. Arsenic Bronze Age

    I know that arsenic bronze is not as good as tin-copper bronze, but is it possible for arsenic bronze alone to fuel a bronze age?

  15. American Indian Population in the 1860's

    I need some help with something. I'm currently writing a story in ASB where Superman ends up growing up as a Sioux, and he will eventually lead a spiritual/racial war against the US during the Civil War. Unfortunately I have not been able to find much useful information about the number of...

  16. Evacuating Britain in WW2

    Does anyone have any good estimates on how many people could be realistically evacuated from Britain in the event of Nazi Germany invading Britain?

  17. Plausability Check: Domesticate Animals and Disease

    In my TL Horses of Turtle Island (need to change that name), I want the Natives to domesticate more than just dogs, horses, llamas, alpaca's, guinea pigs, and turkeys.

  19. Scandinavian population boom?

    One problem the Scandinavian countries have had is a lack of people compared to the Southern European countries. When they tried to fight Russia, Prussia, Poland etc, this lack of manpower always held them back despite having some very good leaders. Now what if the Vikings who traveled to...

  20. Trail of Tears Goes North

    This is a topic I've been thinking of off and on for several years; could the American government have shifted the majority of its Native Americans North into British territory during the 19th century? It would have simplified things for them in the long run. Instead of shifting the Natives to...
