Prior to the abrahamic faiths' dominance in the western world, wild boars were tamed and domesticated, being bred for food and their skins. However, abrahamic faiths like Judaism, Christianity, Islam did not allow the consumption of such because they're unclean and don't chew cud. Now before you...

Otl, after the roman empire was split, the east quickly became more wealthy and more centralized- exactly its downfall as it was seen as a bigger prize. Between the endless barbarian incursions (very near most of their homelands in the carpathian and black sea regions), the persians, and...

Okay, so, Europe has historically been dominated by the Slavs and the Celts, with Celtic empires such as Prydhain and Gaul dominating the west while great Slavic cultural centers such as Poland, Bulgaria, and, to a lesser extent, the nations of the Rus hold court in the east. However, there are...

Ooc: this is a double blind, where we ask an alternate history question... from an alternate history. We ask what if the south broke away, people in tl 191 ask what if the south didn't. And to establish something: britain has lost india, British Arabia, Egypt and the Suez, but retains the rest...

We all know what happened after the death of Muhammad. The newly Muslim Arabs spread out of Arabia, warring against both the Byzantine and Sasanian Empires. But while they completely conquered the former, the latter managed to hold on despite the beating it took. Your challenge is to have it so...

Today, Detroit is considered one of America's "key cities": an international hub of finance, culture, commerce, industry, etc. Chicago, on the other hand, has spent decades as the butt of jokes about terrible places to live, and while things seem to be improving (at least for the moment), it...

Your challenge is to have professional wrestling be more popular than roller derby, both in America and around the world.

Otl, since the fall of the Kievan Rus, the territory that might otherwise be a sort of rusland has never really united. Sweden and Poland jockeying for influence over the region never helped. Your goal is to make a major power out of the region.

As of the early 2020's, the Discovery Channel airs a good variety of both straight documentaries, more sensationalist docs, and just plain dumb reality shows. The latter started appearing and getting prominent around 2010 or so, but began getting phased out in 2017 onwards with new management...

Otl, Monarchy has survived a long ass time in some form or another. Currently the British, German and Russian empires are the strongest nations on earth, each balancing democracy and monarchy in their own way. Though most would say Britain is basically a republic instead of a kingdom. Your...

Britain is rather famously one of the few countries that never completed the switch to the metric system. Your challenge is to change that... while also having America not change over.

Before we begin, this is a Double Blind, where we ask an alt. history question from the perspective of someone in an alternate history- so if we ask 'WI the CP won WW1,' those people ask 'WI the Entente won WW1' OTL, India was carved up into several spheres of influence like Africa and the rest...

Canada and Mexico are, in many ways, a study in contrasts. The former is infamous for seemingly being a "perpetual developing country", whereas the latter is known as an overall quite successful country despite a rough start (it does have some lingering issues, but no country is perfect). Your...

Found this massive Spanish Empire- though apparently didn't hold quite all this at once or even under the kingdom of Spain- the Pink was claimed through some dynastic shenanigans and they inherited Portugal somehow as well, but I have no clue about that other stuff all over the place

The Incan Empire was one of the only native states to avoid European conquests in the new world- the others being the Haida and the Cherokee. They achieved this through leasing out a few relatively unimportant mines to the Spanish and using the money to buy guns and the technology to make them-...

OOC: while yes, ttl scandinavia united and became a mainstay empire, it's not just a flat out role-reverse with Britain, IC: OTL, the main colonizing powers in europe make sense- France, Spain, Scandinavia, Portugal, the Netherlands (kinda). But there is one glaring exception. One place in...

OOC: while Magna Carta was issued before the 100 year war broke out, if it failed idk how well it would be known OTL, Britain has had an absolute monarchy in all but name for centuries. Your goal is to change that. I have to imagine you'll want to have one side or another actually win the...

Now, OTL, France has had the biggest colonial empire since Spain's collapse, but the OP of this website said that Britain won out ttl Anyway for France to be stuck with just the scraps?

Found this weird ALT Germany. The website I found this on said that most of it was dominated by a terribly lose confederation, and this a successor state centered in Prussia. Is there anyway this is at all possible? I'm also surprised that it seem s France and Poland lost so much in europe...

Islam is a small Abrahamic faith localized in the arabian deserts. Its Prophet, Mohammad, united the arabic tribes under his faith. However, most attempts to expand out of Arabia, both politically, and theologically, have failed. Your challenge is to make Islam a major player in modern...
