In the 16th Century, the Spanish Conquistadors had fantasized taking over China, or a least bits of China. Realistically, no way the Spanish were ever going to conquer China, or even mainland Asia (See Cambodia) So what would be the consequences of Spanish Conquistadors starting unauthorized...

(Based off two things, 1) This thread I made, 2) A post I made in this thread. This is an idea where America collapse during the civil war, and the PODS) What if, through 1861 to 1865, there were multiply uprisings in both the Union and the Confederacy? The Uprisings in the North are sponsored...

The Invasion Iraq happens... and then the US actually finds Nuke’s. What happens next? Edit: basically Bush thinks he is lying but they actually come across one what happens?

Everyone knows the style of Anime. The animation style created in Japan. It generally focuses less on movement, and more on the detail of settings and use of "camera effects", such as panning, zooming, and angle shots, diverse art styles, and character proportions and features can be quite...

Based off an old thread I did a year ago, but didn't want to do thread necromancy, and also an updated religious map What if, a string of Popes in Rome that are so corrupt, so incompetent, and does something so stupid (Like maybe making the Roman Papacy hereditary) that they shatter the view of...

There are many movies about certain nations . But basically, make up a movie(s) or show(s) for the nations (Pre-1900), as if they survived in the modern day to make these movies and shows, while keeping a cultural setting (Like if making a Aztec movie, set in the Aztec Empire). It can range from...

Based off a thread I made here Think of moments in history (POST-1900) that seemed so unbelievably, that it would be called ASB, yet they still happened through complicated events that had to go right or wrong For my examples: How WWI started, or how Sending one man back to an enemy country...

He somehow stayed alive. Either by escaping Bolivia or never going there in the first place. What is his role in the 1982 Falkland Islands War? I found this interesting to think about given his Argentinian birth and career in guerilla warfare.

Think of moments in history (Pre-1900) that seemed so unbelievably, that it would be called ASB, yet they still happened through complicated events that had to go right or wrong For my examples: The House of Valois dying off in the 16th Century due to bad luck, or Pizzaro conquering the Inca...

What if, through 1861 to 1865, there were multiply uprisings in both the Union and the Confederacy? The Uprisings in the North are sponsored by Confederate Agents, Copperheads, and Southern Sympathizers, while the ones in the South are either local, or sponsored by some other power. List of...

Say that WW3 goes off around the Cuban Missile Crisis. Doesn't matter who shot first, just that the US, Soviet Union, and their European allies are all hit hard. How long would it take to rebuild, what sort of tech level would these states be at (weaponry, administrative and communication), and...

In a timeline where Persia loses its grip on the ancient world and allows for the Classical civilizations to prosper and begin the first stages of proto-industrialization, world events that take millennia for our timeline happen one after the other as the dominoes fall. As the cogs of the world...

What if, in the 1640s, instead the Qing steamrolling over all of China, what if instead, the Qing were unable to conquer the rest of China, with a more stable and competent Southern Ming, and more powerful Shun Dynasty, which defeats Zhang Xianzhong, and conquers Sichuan and Tibet. By the End...

(A bit ASB, and ignoring a lot of butterflies and events at that time, just mostly a compare two empires) What if most of Italy was unified, between 14th Century-17th Century? How would the combined armies of Italians, face off against the Ottoman Empire? Venice is still independent, but...

This is the micro-continent of Antillia, part of a wider altgeo universe which include other Macronesian islands.... Latitude-wise Antillia, including it's offshore islands reach from roughly 50'N at it's northernmost tip to 25'N in the far south. It has a spine of large mountains along it's...

Lets imagine that for some (ASB reason) Hitler orders the Wehrmacht to go Poland on Denmark? Meaning the utter destruction of larger danish cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus? Maybe after heavy danish resistance to the german advance? Killing and wounding between 300.000 - 400.000 danes between...

Could that have destroyed the italien mob in the 1970s? If he had turned states evidence and gone into witness protection?
