pod ideas

Some CP victory pods that arent: Italy neutral or Cp, Germany wins Marne, Spring Offensives suceeds, US doesnt join WW1. Also preferably make the POD on the CP side or something that isnt made by an Entente change.

Okay so I have an increasong obsession with the 10th century fueled largely by autism and the fact I've been actively making a lot of noise towards Paradox in the hopes they'll bring back my favorite CK2 start date, 936, in CK3. The CK3 thing is beside the point though. The thing is, I feel...

Lately I’ve been really fascinated with WWI, and I’ve been especially curious in wondering what if the Germans had won. I’ve been doing research, but so far I haven’t found any satisfactory PODs. What are some events during the early stages of the war that I can look into? I’m trying to see if...

The Norman’s were some of the most prolific warriors and military adventures of the Middle Ages. Most notable of these adventures were William the Conqueror’s takeover of England, the de Hauteville brother’s conquests in Southern Italy which lead to the formation of the Kingdom of Sicily, and...

The Iron Age (or Modern Age, but I prefer the term Iron Age because what's "modern" is always shifting) is generally considered to have started in 1996 and continues today. So I'd like to ask if there are any interesting PODs during this era you'd like to discuss. Here are some I have: - What...

Honestly, considering how popular anime and manga have become outside Japan in recent decades, I think a thread like this was inevitable. I have some potential ideas: - What if the original Gundam series hadn't been cut down to 43 episodes? - What if The Big O got a third season? - What if...

So I've seen this a ton for WWII nations, but almost never for WWI. Which is interesting, because I feel like there are very dramatic potential PoDs in any WWI nation having some foresight in it's equipment. Like, could Austria Hungry have invested heavily in Tanks in the pre war? Could the...

Again, I know there was already a thread for this, but it's dead. I think one interesting POD with some very far-reaching repercussions would be "Marvel Time" never getting introduced.

Yes, I already know there was a thread about this, but it's dead, so I figured it would be best to make a new one. Here's an idea: what if the Second Circuit had ruled that Wonder Man didn't infringe on Superman?

Following up on the Bronze Age thread, I'd like to ask if anyone has interesting ideas for PODs related to the Dark Age of Comic Books. Here are a few I came up with: -What if Hal Jordan's infamous heel-turn hadn't happened? -What if Todd McFarlane hadn't opted to produce the Spawn toys...

Continuing from the Golden and Silver Age threads, I felt like asking if anybody had any interesting POD ideas regarding the Bronze Age of Comic Books. Here's one: IOTL, Jim Shooter and Chris Claremont got into a dispute over the resolution of The Dark Phoenix Saga. When Shooter pitched the...

What might be some interesting Pre-1900 music PODs?

At the end of WWII Yougoslavian troops took Trieste and Gorizia while also reaching Klagenfurt, but were soon forced to pull their troops out, with cities eventually going to Italy and Austria. While there was a moderate chance of Yugoslavia getting a Gorizia in post war negotiations, Trieste...

Considering how long-running and influential The Simpsons is, I think starting a thread about PODs centered around it might be appropriate. These are some I came up with: - The show is more of a dramedy. - They go with the original plan of Homer and Krusty secretly being the same person. - "The...

When it comes to alternate history, Arabs tend to get focused on only in timelines where the POD is during or after the rise of Islam. The reasons for this may be understandable, but since the Old Arabic language dates back to at least the mid-9th century BCE, there's a lot of Arab history that...

Considering how enormously influential the Abrahamic religions are worldwide, you'd think there would be more analysis of how changes in the history of Jews and Judaism might affect things. So with that in mind, does anyone have any interesting ancient history PODs involving the Jewish people...

As you can probably tell, I've been reading a good deal about Classical India lately. "Classical India" is a rather vague time period, but most sources I've seen generally define it as lasting between 322 BCE and 550 CE. Honestly, considering South Asia's long and rich history, I think it...

The geographical scope of the scenarios proposed on this website certainly isn't what I'd call limited, but it does seem pretty uneven. It seems like people tend to focus largely on North America, Europe and East Asia. So I've decided to help this by starting an ideas thread for something a...

I've noticed that most Roman Empire PODs seem to be generally either before the end of the Pax Romana or after Constantine went to war against Maxentius. That leaves a period of over 130 years that goes largely unexplored by counterfactual historians. As you can probably guess, this thread is my...

What do you guys think might be interesting Early Islam PODs?
