After 1492, have one country be able to control BOTH continents of the Americas (only exception is Greenland). Which country is most likely to be able to hold on to them long term? What would the continents be like and how does this affect the rest of Europe who are unable to lay claim to the...

American Manifest Destiny was peculiar among historical conquests. Excepting other settler colonies, most conquests did not see such large-scale settlement. There are a number of demographic, political, and logistical factors as to why the U.S. conquered and then settled native land, instead of...

Hello everyone, this is my first attempt with AHC. So if I make a mistake, they tell me. As in other post I've said that I am doing an alternative history of USA with all North America from the North Pole to Panama with some ideas and I want to know what you would do. The POD is since the ARW...

English Version Hello friends. I am writing an alternative story somewhere else and I wish they were not so ASB. My alternative story is that the United States of America includes all of North America (including Greenland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Bermuda), Mexico, all of Central America...

Let's suppose that the POD is that the Cromwell's Commonwealth survives and becomes more or less an aristocratic republic. The British colonies of America are: a) New England colonies that either exist individually or are joined in one large colony, b) Maryland (includes parts Pennsylvania) and...

Much of the inspiration and ideas can be attributed to a 2007 post but that didn't get a lot of attention. In this particular timeline, the Marxist-Leninist separatist terror group, the Front du Liberation de Quebec takes far more extreme actions than it did in the OTL, having far greater...

Hi. I'm working on an Alternate History novel. It involves a modern North America that had been colonized by the Japan. The colony stretches to the west coast and east coast.

So if France somehow comes out of the American Theatre of the Seven Years War victorious* and Montcalm's valiant defence of the colony makes the King more interested in peopling it, how many settlers would they be able to ferry over before the next major conflict kicks off (for simplicity's sake...

In OTL the United States became a by-word for democratic, republican government, while Central and South America were the source of the term "banana republic" by virtue of dictatorships that arose in the region, ironically due to American interference in some cases. So with a POD no earlier...

Hello, everyone. For a few years now I have enjoyed the many fantastic worlds and timelines on this site, but I have never actually created one myself. This will be my first attempt at a timeline, so I'm sure I will make a few mistakes along the way. Hopefully you will bear with me in spite of...

As you may know, in November of 2016, Renee Shiriki of the National Democrats was elected as President of Louisiana. Shiriki coming to power meant that yet another wave of Native nationalism flowed, with constant agitation by various activists and... shady organizations. It isn't that...

The challenge is to have as many independent nations in North America by 2017 with a POD no later than July 4th, 1776.

Could the United States have bullet trains? In what period would this be possible? Could there be trains bullets that linked Canada, the United States and possibly Mexico? Maybe a train connecting Cuba and Florida? A train line of bullets trains that connect California, Texas, Florida...

What if Britain decided to pursue a policy of encouraging interracial marriages between native Americans, settlers, and Africans? Now they could do it for the sake of keeping peace between the sides so that they're more connected (like what happened in Paraguay). Using the carrot-and-stick...

As part of a brain excercise and a school project, I decided to create an Alternate History similar to the Third Odyssey mod for Europa Universalis IV. The scenario is that in 1444 Constantine, son of John VII of Byzantium, angered at his fathers ingnorance of the threat the Ottoman Turks, has...

Speculation: I was reading about the Hansa league the other day. And what caught my attention was their war against King Valdemar IV of Denmark, which went quite well for them. In 1368 they captured Copenhagen and forced the King to flee. He appointed Henning Podebusk to negotiate, and Podebusk...

I now present my first timeline. Been working on it for about a year now, though I only have been writing for about a month. This timeline will hopefully end up being pretty long, though this part will only cover events up to 1757. If you have any comments or critiques I encourage you to...

The history of Pre-Columbian America is often seen as less important due to the massive catastrophes of plague and conquest that nearly destroyed the world of the Aztecs, Inca and Mississippians. What I am asking is are there any good points of divergence before Columbus' s arrival, especially...

Foreword In the pursuit of Knowledge, Historians have long debated among themselves over the correct interpretations of events. This knowledge thus finds itself muddled between the various and competing views of the significance of the facts, or the interpretation of their effects. North...

Pretty much as the tin says. With a POD no earlier than 1776, make it so that there are at least two countries that have a border along the Mississippi River. Bonus points if the Ohio or Missouri Rivers are NOT borders.
