2000s

Okay, so the goal is pretty simple Start with a POD sometime after 12:00 AM 01/01/2000, and from it, make the next decade as bad for the United States of America as you can. Cause as much chaos, misery, and misfortune for the US - both for the government and the people - as could possibly...

For some reason, the US fails/never bothers to support Chinese entry and the PRC never enters the World Trade Organization. What would be the impact of that on the world? For sure, the 2000s commodities boom won't be as big as it was IOTL. This would have major implications in Latin American...

So I’ve lately been working on @TheBeanieBaron’s DC Comics Cinematic Universe collab TL (you can find it here), and after it started mentioning the Spiderman films and that TL’s version of the MCU, it got me thinking - what if 2000’s X-Men, 2002’s Spider-Man, and 2003’s The Hulk had created an...

Welcome to Just Like Starting Over! A new pop culture timeline that asks, “What if John and Paul just couldn’t resist $3,000?” I joke, but I truly hope I can bring a great pop culture timeline to you all, starting right here, right now. Some information before we begin: If you have an idea...

Shanghai clique ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_clique#2012:_Xi_Jinping_takes_power ) was an informal circle of CCP officials whose rise to prominence was achieved through the patronage of Jiang Zeming. In today's China this group recieved a name of ''Shanghai gang'' due to the...

(Following the success of my first collab TL, which is still in progress, (you can check it out here: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-the-beatles-died-in-1964-a-collaborative-tl.525360/), I figured I'd make another one, and it's about a much more recent even that could've gone...

(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)

So what if there had never been a Facebook, does MySpace survive?

On December 16th 2002 Former Vice President Al Gore appeared on 60 Minutes saying that he was still unsure about a 2004 Presidential run and he and his wife Tipper would think about it and make a decision early next year. In March 2003 Gore would start a presidential exploratory committee to...

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Libya (under the presidency of Muammar Qaddafi) sought to normalise relations with the US and the West. A big part of this project was disarmament. In the 1990s, during the early Clinton administration, Libya dismantled its nuclear weapons programme. In...

What fascinates me A LOT is whether everyday people in the not-too-distant-past would pick up on not-so-obvious and subtle changes in their environment or non-physical things such as music, language, mannerisms if said things were not from their time. Would they instantly realise something was...

At the end of the 2004 college football season after the Gators fired head coach Ron Zook a lot of people were speculating that legendary former Florida Gators head coach Steve Spurrier was going to return to being the head coach of the Florida Gators in 2005 after resigning from the position...

So, the countries of Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary are welcomed into the European Union quite exactly four years earlier compared to OTL. What kind of effects could this have on the economics and politics of these countries? What could be the effects on the EU as a whole? The world...

For a brief time during the first round of the 2002 Brazilian presidential race, former governor of Ceará and former minister of finance Ciro Gomes either led the polls or was just barely behind Lula, the favourite candidate and OTL winner. However, Ciro's numbers collapsed and he eventually got...

Elected in 1994, Cristovam Buarque (back then still a member of PT and an ally of Lula) served as governor of the Federal District for four years, from 1995 to 1999. His term was marked by social programs, the most famous of them being Bolsa Escola (the prececessor to Bolsa Família), large...

Imagine this, a world in which "Naruto" really did exist, but Japan, in a sense to prevent situations to occur such as wars over them keeps everything quiet, as in all of Japan knows but that is it. The hidden villages are known as military bases, and the Nine Tail Attack was a fire at Military...

Yugoslavia was former nation in the Balkans, formed from the Southern Slavs after WWI. After decades of ethnic and religious tensions between Serbs, Croatians, Bosnians, Slovenians, and Macedonians, Yugoslavia broke up in 1992, which lead to the most horrific war of the 21st Century, the...

Okay, so I'm planning on starting a... less ambitious timeline than the ones I've tried and miserably failed in the past. It's going to be called "The 21st Century - The Most Cursed Century in History". I intend to have a POD in the 1990s but I only want it to start getting really cursed in...

What does it look like, and without 9/11 and the War on Terror would Bush have enough popularity to win re-election?
