  1. The Rise of Joseph Stahl - A German Stalin Collab TL

    This timeline is inspired by the few threads on either Hitler or Stalin's parents immigrating to the US. In this timeline, I will try to make it as realistic as possible, however, being human I will probably make mistakes so any advice and ideas is greatly appreciated as long as it is within...
  2. Plausible Free African Immigration to Latin America?

    We all know that post-independence and even post-abolition Latin American countries received scores of immigrants from Europe to countries like Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, and etc. Regardless of the motives- manpower or blanquiemento- they soon became a vibrant part of Latin American...

    AHC: Mass Eastern Slavic Immigration to USA

    With a POD of at least 1850 have there be mass Orthodox, East Slavic (Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarussians) immigration on the same levels of the Irish and Italians. For bonus points, get them to have the same levels as the Germans with 1/8 of Americans being East Slavic. For even more points...

    AHC: Early Asian immigrants to America

    AHC: With a starting time around 1710s to 1770s, have the British hire Asian workers, such as the Chinese or Indians, to go immigrate to the Thirteen Colonies, for either work or military purposes
  5. Effect of no nation-wide prohibition on organized crime in the US

    I have read extensively about organized crime, and I think we all can agree on the fact that prohibition helped the various organizations greatly, now I want to ask u, how would crime develop in the us without prohibition? Would the situation be much better than in OTL?
  6. Consequences of no world wars on mass immigration to the US

    What would be the consequences of no world wars on the flow of European immigrants to the US? By 1914 most immigrants were either from Southern or Eastern Europe, how does this fact effects the ethnic makeup of the us? Would the great migration of African Americans be severely slowed or delayed...

    If Latin America was rich, will the US still see much Latino immigration?

    Given that the 1965 Immigration Act still passes, if Latin America is wealthy, would many Latinos still go to the United States? IOTL, 17% of Americans are Latino. ITTL, if Latin America is wealthy, what is the percentage of Latinos in the United States population?
  8. AHC English speaking minority in continental Europe

    How to get English speaking miniorities compared to Eastern European German miniorities with latest possible POD? I think such miniority to survive should be religiously distinct (so no Catholic refugees who could assimilate easily among other Catholics), perhaps some sort of English analogue of...
  9. If Britain never passed the Nationality Act of 1948

    If the British Nationality Act of 1948(which allowed hundreds of thousands of Jamaicans, Indians, Pakistanis, and Bengalis to permanently settle in Britain) was never passed, would Britain be a more conservative, homogenous country like Poland or Hungary considering that they never would've had...
  10. If Western European nation had sent guest workers back instead of giving family reunification rights

    After WW2, many Western European nations recruited labor from the Middle East and North Africa to make up for shortages in car, textile, and steel industries. In 1970, Western European nations ended labor agreements and provided family reunification rights to migrants that were still there. But...
  11. Western Europe offshores their factories after WW2 instead of inviting guest workers.

    In Europe, labor shortages in manufacturing and mining sectors after World War II caused many Western European nations to sign labor recruitment agreements with Turkey and North Africa(or to recruit labor from colonies in Britain’s and France’s case). But in an ATL, what if Western European...
  12. Large chinese minority in Brazil

    With a POD in 1822 or after, how could Chinese immigrants and their descendants become the largest immigrant group in Brazil, or at the very least surpass the Japanese immigrants/descendants of OTL in population by 2017? According to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs these are the most...

    AHC: Post-WW1 Populate or Perish policy

    I've seen the idea of an Interwar Populate or Perish sheme floating around here whenever someone brings up making Australia stronger, but I can't figure out how to have this happen myself so I figured I'd make it a challenge/ask for help on here. The reason that PoP happened after WW2 was fear...
  14. WI : Catholic and Orthdoox Pilgrim-settlers in Anatolia

    Essentially, I'm curious about during the Komnenid period, specifically the rule of Alexios I, about the potential impacts of the Roman Empire inviting Catholics and Orthodox peoples from across the Christian World to settle in the Roman Empire, specifically on the West and South West coasts of...

    Could the United States effectively 'whiten' Mexico and Central America?

    If the United States were to gradually conquer Mexico and Central America, with at least the area of the 48 contiguous states also included, could it successfully make the people in these regions 'white'? With enough immigration from Europe and the rest of the U.S., I suspect it might be...

    AHC: Chinese Cuba

    From 1847-1878 CE, over 125,000 Chinese indentured laborers were brought to Cuba, an island of only about one million, through the 'Coolie Trade'. and at this stage, comprised almost an eighth of the Cuban population. However, most of these either died childless or intermarried, with their...
  17. AHC: Preserve German language and cuisine in the US

    German immigrants and descendants formed a significant part of the population of the United States throughout the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries; yet we see almost no trace of their language or cuisine today, absorbed into the Anglo-American continuum. How could the German language and...
  18. More European South Africa?

    I found this timeline https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/uit-de-blauwe-a-european-south-africa.399045/ Shame the user was banned but I think it would be neat to continue it. Would anyone want to collaborate as I'm not 100% well versed in South African/Dutch history in the mid 19th...

    AHC: Larger East Slavic Immigration to America.

    So I was wondering about why besides Poles, Jews, Finns,and Lithuanians the Russians/Ukrainians/Belarusians never really emigrated to the US in large numbers. It's not really related to Ethnicity as many Ukrainians from Austria-Hungary emigrated to Canada and the US. So, with a POD of...
  20. US Population with no Chinese Exclusion Act

    If the USA did not restrict immigration from China, how many more people would there have been? How would this number affect the US economy and culture?
