Hey all, long time alt-history lover and first time poster. Here's a timeline I'm doing, where after an extended Operation Sunset means Harry Truman loses the 1948 election. To whom you're asking? Bing Crosby. That's right, it's Bing for the win! Here is the list of all the American...

So, let's say George HW Bush gets a second term in 1992. A lot of interesting foreign policy decisions had to be made by the US in Clinton's first term, how might Bush Sr. a much more experienced foreign policy leader handle them? How would this effect the world? The big issues...

I just wanna preface this beforehand, this is my first post and I'm no professional. My research and what I say here isn't gonna be perfect, but I would appreciate some criticism on anything that seems implausible or downright wrong. That's all, now history. On August 13th, 1521 the Aztec...

On July 4, 1776, a document was adopted by 56 delegates of the Second Continental Congress, who were convened at the Pennsylvania State House (renamed Independence Hall), known as the Declaration of Independence.

The Louisiana Creole are certainly a very interesting ethnic group, originating in Louisiana in the Americas as freed offspring of white European space owners and their female African and African American slaves. Despite this fact of their brutal origins, many Louisiana Creoles and Louisiana...

Hello everybody! This is one of my first timelines that I am making (excluding some certain attempts in the past.) This TL is gonna be about the US of A. However, I'm not going to spoil anything about this TL. As I don't want to promise much, I'll say that I'll post probably every few days...

On April 14th 1912, the RMS titanic sank on it's maiden voyage. Down with it, went 3 prominent opponents of the creation of the US Federal Reserve System, Isador Strauss, Ben Guggenheim, and John Astor, but what if they survived and the US Federal Reserve system never was created? Now I...

The Great Oops September 26th, a bit after midnight Moscow time, a Soviet missile detection system on the outside of the city malfunctioned, showing that apparently that the US had launched a large scale missile attack [1]. The system automatically reported that to officials in Moscow. There...

Chapter 1: The Republic Could Not be Kept The Battle of Saratoga was the high-point for the Continental Army The devastating, decade-long War for Independence proved an immense struggle for the fledgling United States, devastating much of the nation and bringing the disorganized “Confederate...

Revisiting a past idea I had floated , I am intrigued by just how "Roman" the founders of the u.s tried to make it . What if the Founders had gone in fully wit their Roman fanfare and also paranoia of centralised authority, and adopted a more decentralised system. Here's my timeline: The...

An American citizen relative by close affinity or consanguinity of the British Monarch or PM runs for President, would his rival use this connections against him or would he or she be disqualified?

I've been learning more about the American revolution and the reasons why 13 colonies chose to form the United States, and why some other colonies chose not to join this new union. This made me ponder who the United States would develop if other colonies such as Nova Scotia or the Floridas...

Reading into the history of Maryland, I find the original purpose of the colony quite interesting, as it was meant to be a haven for Catholics and religious toleration.

It feels like there are many patterns that seem to repeat infinitely among America timelines. Events that occur or have their analogues in most timelines concerning the United States. Absences of such an event rarely occurs unless said absence is the divergence. I am also guilty of this...

Was working on a simple alt hist idea with a friend and am new to this sort of thing and wanted to see if there was any interesting ideas here. Main points of divergence are: 1. The Articles of Confederation fail. There are two many differences between the states and they simply can't...

As we know, USA and British relations got off on a rocky start. After independence, America still had heavy ties to Britain. But during the War of 1812, Britain and America fought one another for Canada. A common misconception I’ve seen some people say, is that Britain intended to reconquer...

What if for some reason America was interested with the lobby of some corporations and back to Africa organizations or something to rule the heart of darkness with the empires of Europe just letting this teenager of a nation to have its way as long they get to have business. With the main change...

I'm curious what the television and film landscapes in America and Canada would look like with some big changes. What would happen to TV if for some reason, crime dramas/police shows massively flopped after the 60s? Also, what would happen if anime and tokusatsu was somewhat more popular than...
