  1. Earlier Canadian Confederation

I'm not well versed in the intricacies of the Confederation, but for those who do have expertise how soon could confederation plausibly have happened after the 1837-8 Rebellions.

    WI: Larger Black Population in South by 1920?

    IOTL the current Black Population in the US is about 13% and still for more or less is contained in the South. What would have to change for the Black population for it to not only grow but for it to almost completely stay in the South? How would this affect American History culture and Black...

  4. Population growth in a stabler Mexico

    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...

    How big would the Black Population be in a surviving CSA?

    I've been in the school of thought that if the CSA survived the majority of it's population would end up being black because a few states were already majority black including Florida surprisingly and neither of the Great Migrations would happen.

  8. What changes would occur to the distribution of population if Canada was a part of America from the start?

    So, the scenario where Canada is a part of America in some form or another is a fairly common one on this site, but I don't recall any in-depth discussion about how the population distribution would change should America control Canada. There have been some threads which discuss whether Canada...

  14. A Demographic Exercise: ATL POD's effect on Chinese population

    Hello, all it appeared to me that if the violence and conflict China went through in the late 19th and early 20th century could have been ameliorated, may have led to a different level of population at its present. The Qing dynasty was pretty stable in terms of food distribution, at least until...

    Which criteria does a language need to meet in order to be a lingua franca?

    Does it necessairly have to be the most commonly spoken language in the world, or at least, the second most spoken? Let's assume, for the sake of this argument, that we have an European (but doesn't have to be one!) Great Power, which does have colonies in Africa and Asia, but never managed to...
  18. With a POD of 1700, what is the maximum French population possible in 1800 and in 1900?

    1. With modern French borders, 2. With France having the Rhineland. And here's an interesting thought, if the max population France could have in 1800 is notably larger than OTL, then what would the population of 1900 France be in that scenario using growth calculations based on the 1800 number?

    AHC: Post 1815 French Demographics Expansion

    Devise a scenario after the Napoleonic Wars where the French birth rate and overall population growth increases allowing it to maintain parity with other contemporary European nations, or to regain its mantle as the "demographic beast" it was the 13th Century. Would something like more...
  20. Is there any way to boost the Russian Empire's pre-WW1 population without land expansion?

    So it is well-known on this forum that had Russia not gone communist at the end of WW1, their already-massive population of 183 million (as of 1914) would now be about 400-600 million. However, I'm curious as to how the Russian Empire could have more people (as in, tens of millions more) before...
