alternate developments

A buddy and I were making an alternate history of the United States if it owned Canada. I went to view previous threads by other people, but I found them to be lackluster, or that they got railroaded very quickly. In the case of this United States, Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI, etc. took up the...

Admittedly, I don't have a scientific mind. Every person who had the misfortune to try and explain mathematics, physics and chemistry to me will tell you so.:winkytongue: However, I've been toying with the idea of an alt-world (POD in the 12th century) in which solar power would've been used...

So I guess as the title says what if the dreadnought gets sunk by a lucky hit from a pre-dreadnought in a similar way to the Hood for it to have the most ramifications it would have to happen before dreadnoughts catch on so there would have to be some hypothetical war that would involve naval...

I'm very interested in the period. I want to research it further and speculate about developments for the sake of a timeline I've been slowly preparing. I intend this thread to be a broader discussion on the OTL direction of Hungarian parliamentary politics in the late 19th century (as a...

One thing that's always quite interested me in terms of allohistorical potential is post-Sengoku early modern Japan developing in a different manner than OTL. Primarily by way of the OTL Tokugawa shogunate not coming into existence, and Japan's developments up until the 19th century taking on a...

What are some factors behind the kickstarting of hippie-like movements elsewhere than the US ? Under what particular circumstances could such movements be created in various parts of the world ? Given that I'm posting this in the After 1900 forum, the timeframe is 20th century, for simplicity's...

I know the idea sounds like an oxymoron at face value, but let's not be lazy and try to imagine how such a regime or society could come into existence. Because this is AH.com, we've made weirder concepts work in the past. Basically, my general idea is that we have a state/regime which is very...

I'm starting this thread because one particular question concerning my own timeline bothers me a lot. To explain in detail: In a Europe where an alt-WWII was not as destructive and where the holocaust as we knew it in OTL didn't occur or occured only in a limited scope, what would European...

The title says it all. By "best possible", I mean : - a route to independence (whether sooner or later in OTL doesn't matter, as long as Mexico doesn't lose more from it than gains) - greater social stability, better development of the domestic economy and greater industrialization - stable...
