With a POD of 1400, your challenge is to create a scenario in which the British retain control of North America (which in this challenge, may grow no larger than OTL US, Canada, more of northern Mexico, and the Caribbean) and have it reach a population of at least 500 million people by 2019...

So I've been thinking about 19th Century British Socialism and it's made me wonder how a British Socialist state could form before 1900. So far I've got a 1880s Strike becomes a General one and things gets out of hand but I'm not entirely sure how that could work. Just to make things a bit...

Okay, so I've been slogging through some overly brief run-downs on extremely complicated South African history and more specifically the history of the Afrikaners/Boers for reasons that elude even me. Mostly brief skims of Wikipedia articles, if we're being honest. Anyways, the thing I want to...

With a Finality a 7 years war Timeline Treaty of Paris In the Treaty of Paris, most of the territories were restored to most of the original territories were restored to their original owner but Britain was allowed to keep considerable gains. France and Spain restored their conquests to...

This one is pretty obscure but interesting to me. So in 1914, Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian nationalists called the Black Hand. Austria was outraged and with support from Germany, threatened war if they couldnt investigate. Russia was mad Austria was acting in the Balkans without...

Big things: Greater Germany, Super Italy(yes that is italian crimea- the idea of genoa keeping black sea possessions up to italian unification seemed fun), earlier ottoman explosion, french wallonia and ne spain, and swedish victory in the GNW

I know it might not really change a lot but it seems that there are quite a few "what if x was fascist/communist" threads and there was a recent DBWI Mosley thread so I thought I might give this a go. Basically, how can you get Oswald Mosley to become a communist instead of a fascist? POD should...

I don’t know how this could be accomplished, but how could you get the Phoenicians and/or Carthaginians to establish a permanent presence, perhaps even colonies, in the British Isles? Could this be done using refugees from the Third Punic War?

The 5th century was marked as a period of turbulence for all of Europe, but let’s focus for a moment on Britain. The Roman Empire had established a direct presence on most of the isles since Claudius, subduing the local Celts and introducing Roman culture into the new province, with varying...

Okay, so I'm sure that most of you are familiar with Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg, where, after a syndicalist revolution breaks out in Britain due in part to their defeat in the Great War, the British government and the royal family fled to Canada. This scenario... isn't Kaiserreich. It...

Otl, I and many others, would argue the seeds of the pax britainica were sown by their victory of the seven years war, where France was thrown into massive instability after the loss of... all te money. All of it. Also it's colonies, that too. And then as it slowly recovered, it decided to blow...

I know it seems unlikely and is incredibly controversial but I think that it should be brought up. Now when most people think of the american revolution they think of it as a precursor to Slave-owner Revolt of 1833 but in reality this isn't true at all. The United States of 1776 was very...

OTL, Christopher Columbus was rejected by the Portuguese and Spanish Crowns, who already had established the ability to go around the Cape of Good Hope.

Is there anyway that Louis XVI could keep his head and his power? I have to imagine something like this -No Marie Antoinette. Austria was despised and she was widely seen as a symbol of Austria trying to influence France. I don't know who would replace her though. Catherine the Great (and peter...

I've heard that one of the reasons for the success of the ICAC in Hong Kong and CPIB in Singapore were because of there good colonial institutions, so is there a possibility for an effective anti-corruption agency for the country where there institutions originated from?
