Say there's a timeline where, for whatever reason, the Europeans don't colonize the Americas extensively, limiting contact to trade and missionaries. Perhaps the medieval period continues longer and peasants remain tied to the land, or maybe there's more depopulation from the plagues which...

There was a alt map, which can't be found now, where America took Spain. This resulted in America joining the Central Powers and so the Central Powers winning. For this to happen America would need to be stronger and Spain weaker, and the Spanish want to ruled by America than their own...

If the Vikings stayed in America and America was known about by Europe hundreds of years before Columbus. Would there be a sort of Scramble for America? Would there be meeting by European nations like the Berlin conference to divide America between the European nations? Who would win and who...

The Point of Divergence ... One of the events that helped shaped the modern world was in 313 AD, when Constantine endorsed the small movement of Christianity. Constantine issued an edict that protected the worship and religion of all peoples, including Christianity. People say his mother...

Which Nation and Empire do you guys think just has the most interesting, and best timelines on this site, and in general. In my Opinion, Japan, and the Ottoman empire make the best timelines for me. So which do you guys think is the best alternate history material? It can be a currently existing...

Just flown back from my holiday in the Crown Colony of Singapore, it was great but also really weird to be using British currency and reading British newspapers in a city on the other side of the world from the home islands. Of course, the UK almost lost it during the Malayan Campaign of 1942...

Unlike the contemporary Han Dynasty, the Roman Empire was never fully reconstituated after it fell, but could the Roman Empire have developed into a China-esque "eternal empire"? How would such a China-esque Rome function? What PODs might be needed for circumstances which could result in Rome...

Your challenge, with a POD after 500 BC, is for a China-esque "eternal empire" (where dynasties might rise and fall, but the concept of said empire being a permanent entity is part of the mindset of the people) to arise in the Indian subcontinent. Bonus points if the south of India is considered...

Sicne we got a lot of threads of making succesfull empires even bigger, I decided to make one about the Brazilian empire, the idea is to have Brazil to take every window of oportunity that rose in the 19th century to make it as Big possible, the results are: Corrientes, entre rios and missiones...

If anyone remembers, years ago I started a TL called 'Never Setting Sun' which involved Canada becoming far more important than OTL within the scope of the British Empire. I had wanted to somewhat parallel the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, but the TL got away from me and it simply wasn't...

Attila's Empire was notably more of a series of tributary relationships and alliances against the Roman Empire between various migratory peoples, rather than an actual empire. How could Attila's empire have turned into an actual sedentary and urbanized empire stretching from, at the least, the...

How could Germany and Russia become part of the same country, by conquest, personal union, or any other means, prior to 1900? This must be a situation lasting at least 20 years. Mongol Empire is too obvious, so preferably use another unifying power or powers.

So this is something I've been working on for many years, but some things still just don't feel correct or fit as nicely as I'd like to. I'm hoping a fresh set of eyes will yield some new ideas and workability. Basically, I will be posting various 'sections' of the TL in chronological format...

In OTL, the atrocities of the Congo Free State were documented brought to light by European missionaries. This resulted in the Belgian government taking the colony from King Leopold is which improved the conditions that the Congolese natives were living under. But how different would Congo be...

Is it possible, with a PoD after 1400 (maybe the portuguese fail to capture Diu?), for a large or at least considerably sized indian empire to arise from the (rather comercially rich) region of Gujarat? If so, then what are the effects of this Gujarati Empire on the history of India?

Given that the distance between Japan and Australia is only 6,848 km, I couldn’t help but wonder think about a hypothetical TL where Australia is colonized and established as a settler colony by Japan instead of Britain during the 17th-18th centuries. And similar to OTL, the following things...

the unification of a hemisphere I've always thought the Americas are similar to Europe, the '' Union of the Americas '' could emerge similar to the European Union model. Here are some features in this alternative union that I'm looking for: - the alternative union must have a single currency...

IOTL, Wang Mang was a chinese emperor notable for having usurped the Han dynasty's throne for 14 years, founding the brief Xin dynasty (9-23 AD). He assumed the royal title as the Jujun Emperor. He was notable for having implemented interesting reforms, such as an income tax, a "sloth tax" for...

With a POD after 1400, have the Mamluks become a "gunpowder empire" akin to the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals historically and conquer large swathes of the Middle East and North Africa. Bonus points if you have this hypothetical Mamluk "gunpowder empire" conquer the Ottomans as opposed to what...

I have read and absorbed info from my other threads. This will be different than them. What conditions would there need to be for a Bulgarian Colonial Empire.
