I've been thinking lately how to wank Russia, and, with the help of the threads like Greater Volga German population and Quinoa introduction in Europe, I think I've figured it out. First of all, food. Here's map of where Russia could grow Quinoa (my own estimation): With this amazing crop...

This is officially my first attempt at an alternate history (which I have been thinking about for quite a long time); if there’s anything I might need help with (especially with historical accuracy), feel free to collaborate and assist with editing. Excerpt from The New York Times...

This is going to have a huge effect on the timeline: Breckinridge Long dies suddenly (be it a freak accident, unexplained death while sleeping, stray mob bullet, etc.) in 1935 during his tenure at the State Department. Considering Long’s anti-immigrant policies, could it lead to an improved...

Thinking about some different scenarios for South America. One thing struck me is about Asian diaspora/immigration to South America nations. I know, Brazil has a very noticeable Japanese diaspora, also Peru to a lesser extend. I've read about some Koreans and Chinese here and there, but I would...

Let's say a hypothetical scenario where for whatever reason Liberia tries to a military conquest for Sierra Leone during the American Civil War (like 1963) but it wraps up two years after the Civil War ending with British annexing Liberia. With Liberians not wanting to live under the British a...

I think it would be interesting how the US would have developed without the 1924 Immigration Act, but I think given how much of a consensus immigration restrictions were by the time of its passage you have to ask how you could avoid it being passed. What realistically is the most pro immigration...

I'm working on a Reconstruction TL where the US does a more firm stance on Reconstruction and planning out the events and changes to the TL I stumbled across a problem. I have no idea if the Chinese Exclusion Act would be a thing or not. I personally don't see why it wouldn't be a thing but if...

Between 1800 and 1900, the Mexican population grew from roughly 6 million to 13.6 million. The USA, however, grew its population from 5.3 million to an enormous 76.2 million. I assume this is a result of instability and lower levels of migration, and my (admittedly brief) research seems to...

Upon his dismissal from the Navy in April by Admiral Erich Raeder, Heydrich decides that there is nothing left for him in Germany and leaves everything behind, emigrating to the USSR and joining the OGPU. Upon the dissolution of the OGPU and replaced with the NKVD, Heydrich has risen high enough...

What if USA severely restricted immigration because of no land left for settlement after The Land Run of 1895 was the smallest and last land run in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It came about with an agreement between the Kickapoo Indians and the federal government that gave individual Kickapoos...

Today, South Africa’s eastern port city of Durban has the highest concentration of South Asians living outside of South Asia (25% of the city’s population). In the wider province of kwaZulu Natal, however, South Asians make up only 7.4% of the population. With a POD of 1843, the founding of the...

In terms of ethnic European cultures, Anti-Slavic sentiment has long occurred throughout history, as did Ant-Italian and Amti-Irish sentiments, where all of them were discriminated and persecuted against. However, has anti-nordic sentiments ever happened, where people from Norway, Sweden...

I am currently creating an idea for my alternate history timeline, basically it will be a very eurocentric world. In this world Russia is very successful, and be among the wealthiest, biggest and most influential nations. Russia would make a lot of settler colonialism, where russians will settle...

With any pod between 1450-1850, have Americans be immigrating to China rather than otl's Chinese migration. A likely destination for settlement (for those who aren't just temporarily trying to strike it rich in the cities anyway) would be the Xinjiang region. How likely is it that the American...

Hello to anyone reading this. Recently I found something new (at least for me) about population growth in Europe from 1600 - 1900. I read how England's population during this 300 year period grew from 4 million all the way to 30 million, increasing a 750%. All the while the population in other...

Throughout the 16th-18th centuries, various countries like Netherlands, England, Prussia, the American colonies, and even Russia (though obviously not Protestant) became destinations for Protestant migrants of various denominations. If Poland became Protestant or Reformed during the 16th...

The ship carried Alois Hitler and Klara Polzl to Waterville, Wisconsin, where a number of their fellow countrymen, Austrian Catholics, had settled. They first arrived at the port of New York, where as a ritual, they got their new, American names, Alfred Hitler and Clara Hitler. This was in 1886...

Ever so often, I will see threads posted asking how large the populations of certain countries such as Germany and Russia might have gotten without the First World War. However, what would the global demographic trends have looked like without that conflict? After all, this is all interrelated -...

What if the US made a state to send Jewish immigrants to in the late 1800s in order to avoid anti-Semitic riots and prejudice from other immigrant groups and native born Americans. Would this state be like Quebec but with Yiddish instead of French, where in the US would it be, how many people...
