  1. AHC: European Dynastism

    Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to create within Europe a dynastic system of governance in regards to the relation of the nobility and the monarch. this system, is modeled primarily around the Arsacid and Sassanid systems of governance and relationship-conceptions. POD: 200 CE...
  2. Have Post-1848 Austria-Hungary Partitioned in a War or Series of Wars

    So during the 1848 revolutions or after that period, what likely scenarios can occur where a bunch of nations and factions decide to gang up on Austria (or Austria-Hungary) and just partition the hell out of it? Who would participate in this? What would they gain? And how does this impact the...
  3. No black death

    So, the black death spread across Europe in 1300. If i've studied well, the main reason this happened was the war for Caffa in Crimea between a mongol khan and the Genoese. The mongols used corpses on catapults as chemical weapons but still lost the battle while the Ligurian survivors infected...

    AHC: unite germany before the 1700s.

    Now this is probably borderline asb, but what do we have to do to unite Germany as a cohesive nation state (or at least kingdom), separate from the HRE before the 1700s? With or without austria, your choice. Now the easiest would probably be preventing Otto I's forming of the Holy Roman Empire...
  7. Hasburg France Instead Of Habsburg Spain?

    If the Habsburgs decide to inherit France instead of Spain, how does this impact the trajectory of the history of Europe? How do the Habsburgs fare with France in their possession instead of Spain? What happens to the other powers of Europe? How does Protestantism fare? Any other effects?

    AHC: Least Racist Colonialism Possible

    With any pre-20th century pod you want, make the European colonial empires as equal as possible to their nonwhite subjects. I imagine that we'd need to limit the slave trade incredibly, to prevent the association of black people with chattel slavery. Not quite sure what to do about the natives...

    Is there any non-ASB way for France, despite winning the Great War, to end up with a far-right government? Be that Action Française getting into power, the PSF or PPF successfully challenging the Popular Front, or some other far-right group taking control, is it possible for France to fall to...

    Other possible Greek monarchs?

    Other than Otto I, who could have been King of Greece? I think maybe Alexander Mavrocoradtos, or Alexander and Demetrius Ypsilantis in the earlier years, and after Otto I maybe Ernest of Leiningen, Ernest II of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, Henri of Orléans, or maybe Alfred of Saxe-Coburg Gotha (although...
  13. Europe's relations with Russia in case of no World Wars

    Now I'm very well aware that in the early 1900s Russia was very much a total part of the European landscape and there wasn't "us=Europe" and "them=Russia" mentality that developed after communist takeover of Russia. But my point is, with Russia being allowed to peacefully develope it would...

    Would Operation Barbarossa still be executed if Britain is out of WW2 by then?

    Basically, assume that British morale is broken after disaster hits their armies in the opening years of WW2. The BEF’s evacuation from Dunkirk is more of a failure, the Italian invasion of Egypt somehow does not have its momentum broken by Operation Compass, and the Luftwffe manages to incur...
  16. AHC: Presidential Europe, Parliamentary Americas.

    In general today, most democracies in in the Americas use a presidential system, while most European countries use a parliamentary system. There are some notable exceptions, but that is the general trend. What could be changed in history that would reverse this, causing most American countries...

    Somehow make witch hunts common again after the year 1850. Edit: So I have received some....clarification of the broadness of my post. I'll clarify a bit. I was talking about witch hunts in Europe and the Americas and I'll say that the time frame is 1850-1930.

    European Hegemony?

    What's the best time and nation-state to create a long-lasting hegemony over a majority of Europe? Preferably this would also include the integration of the conquered territories as well. France comes to mind due to the disparity of population between France and the surrounding nations.
  20. AHC/WI No european or american (usa) overseas territories.

    How to make it posible that no european power or USA holds overseas territories?
