  1. AHC: Romani polity

    Your challenge is to have a Romani polity exist somewhere for some period of time. It doesn't have to be particularly large, successful or long-lasting, it just has to spend some time in existence.
  2. AHC: More of Africa remains uncolonized

    Your challenge is pretty much what the title says: have more of Africa not be colonized. The POD must be after 1750.
  3. AHC: Wank Korea

    As the title says, your challenge is to have Korea do significantly better than it did IOTL.
  4. AHC: Sui dynasty lasts longer

    Despite its pivotal significance, the Sui dynasty was quite short-lived, lasting for less than forty years. Your challenge is to have it last longer.
  5. AHC: No "Jewish Deicide" canard

    Okay, the title's a big of an exaggeration. Completely getting rid of the profoundly anti-Semitic idea that all Jews "should" be held collectively responsible for the death of Jesus is sadly probably ASB. What I want you to do is make the "Christ-killer" canard never be more than a very fringe...
  6. AHC: European Dynastism

    Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to create within Europe a dynastic system of governance in regards to the relation of the nobility and the monarch. this system, is modeled primarily around the Arsacid and Sassanid systems of governance and relationship-conceptions. POD: 200 CE...
  7. AHC: Zoroastrianism stays a major religion

    Zoroastrianism was once one of the most prominent religions in the world. Once Iran was conquered by the Muslims, however, it began to decline. Now there are fewer than 200,000 Zoroastrians left, though it's growing more popular in Iraqi Kurdistan, so we may see them significantly expand in...
  8. AHC: Dīn-i Ilāhī becomes a major religion

    Akbar was an ambitious ruler, and one of his most ambitious projects was to start his own religion. He called it Tawhid-i-Ilāhī, but today, it's more commonly known as Dīn-i Ilāhī. While Akbar's achievements were generally quite lasting, his attempt to found his own religion failed to make much...

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have a woman be elected President of the United States on or before the year 2000.
  10. AHC: Save an extinct domesticate

    Your challenge is pretty much what the title says: save a domesticated life form from extinction.

    Your challenge is to make Madagascar considerably more successful, powerful and prominent than IOTL. You can use whatever POD you'd like.
  12. AHC: Maintain indigenous Taiwanese polities

    Your challenge is to have at least some of Taiwan under the control of its indigenous peoples throughout the vast majority of its history. You can use whatever POD you'd like.
  13. AHC: Māori settlements in Australia

    Your challenge is relatively straightforward: have the Māori establish permanent settlements in Australia.
  14. AHC: Make Sicily stay religiously tolerant

    Under the rule of the Normans, Sicily was remarkably tolerant for the Medieval era, at least when it came to religion. Catholics, Muslims, and Orthodox Christians lived in relative harmony, and Sicily's Catholic rulers appointed Muslims and Orthodox Christians to high-ranking government...
  15. AHC: Save the Kingdom of Semien

    Your challenge is relatively straightforward: have the Kingdom of Semien survive until at least 1900.

    WI/AHC: Weimar borders, except for East Prussia, after Barbarossa starts

    With a POD of 23 June 1941, is there any realistic scenario in which a reunified German state is able to keep its eastern Weimar borders while still losing the East Prussian exclave/having Prussia officially abolished? How plausible would it be to restore the eastern Weimar borders after...
  17. AHC: Ashkenazi Jewish country

    Your challenge is to create an Ashkenazi Jewish polity in Europe. You can use any POD after the Ashkenazi Jews were first recognized as a distinct ethnic group at around the end of the 1st millennium. Oh, and just in case anyone thinks about bringing up the Khazars, a 2013 study found no...
  18. AHC: All six Iroquois nations ally with the Patriots

    The Iroquois Confederacy initially tried to stay neutral in the American Revolution. But just as the conflict caused divisions among the colonists, it caused divisions among the Iroquois. Two of the six nations that made up the confederacy - specifically, the Oneida and Tuscarora - sided with...
  19. AHC: Establish a permanent Polynesian presence in the pre-Columbian Americas

    While there's still some debate about whether the Polynesians beat Columbus to the Americas, what seems pretty clear is that even if they did achieve it, the mark they left wasn't particularly strong or long-lasting (with a handful of exceptions). Your challenge is to change that. Have the...
  20. AHC: More Samaritans

    This challenge is relatively simple: with a POD after the division of the Roman Empire in 395 CE, have there be at least five million Samaritans by 1900.
