  1. Alternate History Timeline: China the Superpower (The Drug Wars of Southeast Asia)

    Hi! I am currently writing an alternate history timeline in which the KMT defeated the Communists and re-united China (including Taiwan and the Diaoyu Islands but not Mongolia and Tuva). In this timeline, Tibet is a Chinese protectorate, as China chose to vassalize Tibet instead of annexing it...

    Dark Skies Over Goldsboro: A TLIAW

    Hi so me and @PrezZF have decided to come together and do a little collab of a Timeline between the two of us. Sort of like the collabs between @Vidal and @Enigma-Conundrum, me and Prez have decided upon the POD and we have a rough outline of Presidents but for the most part, we're improvising...

    AHC: More stable Brazilian 1960s

    With a POD of 1959, your challenge is to make the Brazilian 1960s a more stable decade instead of being a recurring sequence of unstable events (such as an attempted coup in 1961 and a successful one in 1964). This also implies that you must keep Brazilian democracy alive, even in the context of...

    TLIAW: Camelot Lost
    Threadmarks: A Foreword

    ***** When it comes to the men on white horses who dot American history, John Fitzgerald Kennedy ranks highly among them. There’s plenty of reasons why this might be the case. Maybe it’s the seminal moments of his presidency: his steady leadership through the Cuban Missile Crisis, his...

  11. Pop Culture Sans Vietnam

    For the sake of a concrete POD, let's say around March 1965. Operation Rolling Thunder still commences, but LBJ decides against putting boots on the ground, instead sticking to the current policy of military "advisors" and slowly winding down the amount of US troops in the region over the next...
  12. Potential "Libertarian" Republican canidate in 1976 after two terms of Henry "Scoop" Jackson?

    My scenario is following: Nixon wins 1960 election and initiates a full-scale invasion of Cuba in 1961 after a Tonkin-like provocation instead of IRL Bay of Pigs. Soviets still errect the Berlin Wall, but utilize it as a convinient response to the American invasion. The lack of Cuban Missile...
  13. Hubert Humphrey wins in 1968 : how does the Vietnam War end ?

    If Hubert Humphrey had won the 1968 election, how would the Vietnam War have ended? Would it have ended earlier than OTL, or rather at the same time? How would the peace negotiations have gone?

    AHC/WI: Estes Kefauver for President in 1960

    Before the 1960 election, the frontrunner was Senator Estes Kefauver, who'd run twice before and been nominated for Vice-President. He had a knack turning the Senate into his own personal soapbox, with the unfortuate side-effect of pissing off everybody else in the room. He was a natural...
  15. Nixon wins in 1960 and 1964: Democratic nominee in 1968?

    There are several threads about 1960 Nixon victory against JFK and its consequences, but I haven't seen any about potential democratic president after Nixon. Ok, let's say that Nixon victory in 1960 leads to the successful US invasion of Cuba instead of IRL Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile...

    Camelot Is Just A Fantasy: An alternate 1960s and beyond
    Threadmarks: Preamble

    You know the 1960s is one of my favorite decades, so much tragedy and triumph in one decade from the assassination of Kennedy and Vietnam to the Civil Right movement and the Moon Landings. Of course, this all got me thinking what if someone else was in charge instead of JFK or LBJ? I would like...

    (This is my first ATL, so I hope it turns out well) February 7th, 1964: While on their way to John F. Kennedy Airport, the Beatles' plane crashes into the Atlantic Ocean. There are no survivors reported. (Feel free to add whatever events or PODs you want, just as long as it's not ASB)
