after 1900

I am currently planning the creation of an alternative line with the topic already mentioned in the title, however I would like to know, in your opinion, what are the most relevant problems or events that the empire would have if it had survived to that date?

Just curious, and I don't mean to be too morbid, but instead of the Swine Flu happening in 2009, let's say the more deadly and contagious COVID-19 (or, in this case, COVID '09) happened during the start of the recession. After the housing bubble bursts, the virus begins traveling across the...

Compared to war, culture, and geopolitics, food and food preparation tend to be widely overlooked in AH circles. But as in all things, the butterflies let loose by different PODs — such as farmland being either developed or destroyed, sudden economic booms or busts, and different trade routes...

Let's say this nuclear exchange occurs between 1966 and 1970, assuming the contingency operations of every major power goes as planned and civilization manages to rebuild, what would a post-nuclear world look like say 30 to 40 years after? How would this affect culture including music, cars, and...

The great emu war of 1932 was a military effort to kill off emus to protect crops in the Australian farmland. In the end, Australian forces failed to create a lasting impact on the emu population… but what if they did? * * * Major J. P. W. Meredith...

For those who don't know, Tugs was a short-lived British TV series created in the late 1980s by Robert D. Cardona and David Mitton, who had previously produced the first two seasons of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. Tugs would only last for one 13 episode season and despite a second season...

We all know the story of the Hindenburg disaster, on May 6, 1937, the German rigid airship named the Hindenburg caught fire as a result of a gas leak while it was trying to land and crashed in Manchester Township, New Jersey on May 6, 1937 and resulted in 36 deaths. This in turn would cause the...

Founded by a movement predisposed towards terror and social engineering from the very beginning, the Soviet Union consistently ranked as one of the most repressive, most authoritarian, and—ironically—most unequal regimes of the twentieth century. In addition to state-sponsored mass killing and...

This is my first Timeline, which aims to rely on an infobox style inspired by that of 'True Grit'. This is an idea I have been working on for a while, and that I hope to update in the coming days. Enjoy...

A lot of alt-history scenarios are pretty depressing or cause seriously saddening situations in the world, so how would you go by changing history to make the best world possible? What would it take for a world in which, by modern-day, there is a situation as close as possible to worldwide...

A conflict that has always fascinating me is the Russian Civil War, and this is in no small part due to the diverse array of factions and ideologies that existed alongside the larger Red and White armies. Among these smaller factions that interest me the most were the short-lived anarchist...

Winning in a landslide of 486 electoral votes and 61.1% of the popular vote, President Lyndon Johnson's 1964 victory currently holds the record for the largest share of the popular vote won by a modern president--a tally that narrowly exceeded FDR's 1936 victory over Alf Landon, and was only...

I encountered this image and wondered if America could've adopted another helmet design during WW1 and perhaps WW2 based on these designs instead of the brodie helmet.

Is it possible to have a peaceful partition of Switzerland after 1900, with the Italian/Romansh areas going to Italy, the French areas to France and German to Germany (or Austria, if its somehow easier)?

The 20th Century, even before the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, was full of points for the world to burst. In 1905, Kaiser Wilhelm II supported Moroccan independence, angering France and Britain, but eventually a diplomatic solution was reached. But what if negotiations broke down, and the...

Author's Note: That's right, stepping into the Non-Gaming timeline ring! This is my take on a Gore presidency, though I do warn you all, there will be some twists you may not expect later on down the road. For now though, let's be fixated on the man, the myth, the legend himself, Albert Arnold...

Otl, to say communism was a big deal is a wee bit of an understatement. So what if we were to have the first communist revolution fail? Say kerensky pulls out of world war one, which his otl failure to do so turned many to the bolshevik cause. What happens to the great war if the CP are bought...

POD of 1918 Make North Yemen be annexed as a Permanent part of Saudi Arabia by 1939 that remains all the way to this alternate present. When looking at how the Saudis took over many Arab Kingdoms such as the Hashemite Kingdom of Hejaz I always thought it was weird that yemen was the only...

So I saw this flag by Marc Pasquin based on this one by gruff.jones, and it got me thinking, who the hell would become the monarch of Israel? So I looked for members of Jewish peerage, and I found the Rothschilds, one of the most powerful families in the world, who are also practicing Jews and...

It's interesting to think about the tyrants of history and how they might have turned out if circumstances had been different, or if their way of viewing the world hadn't been warped by their circumstances. So when you think of the biggest tyrant in human history. One has to wonder. What if some...
