  1. The Bavarian Illuminati launch a coup/Enlightenment Revolution in 18th century - Bavarian "French" Revolution

    Despite the portrayal of the "Illuminati" in modern popular culture, they were indeed a real secret society during the Enlightenment era. Their aim was to counter superstition, obscurantism, the influence of religion (especially that of the Jesuits), and the abuses of power. These progressive...

    World Communism?

    With all the possible POD’s in any part in history, can communism/some form of it reach at least most of the major nations if not the whole world? A good starting point might be the absence of the Anarchist-Marxist split in the First International as well as future disagreements over orthodoxy...
  3. Development of Neoliberalism with a surviving USSR?

    (If this is in the wrong thread, I apologize, the butterflies that I'm asking about here might be less than 20 years ago, till at least the GFC, so if this more suited for Political Chat or something, is it okay if the mods can move it please? Thanks. Sorry.) If you just want to get to my...
  4. French Victory in Seven Years’ War: No American Revolution?

    French Victory in Seven Years’ War: No American Revolution? I have sometimes seen that a French victory in the Seven Years’ War or French and Indian War would have prevented the American Revolution. The logic behind this is that with a French potentially enemy presence so close to the American...

    Alternate History German Confederation With Ecclesiastical States

    Supposing that in order to return some of the old status quo a proposal is made to restore some of the old Ecclesiastical States in Germany that were part of the old HRE. What would be the effects of these states still being a part of Germany? How would social and religious dynamics work? How...
  6. America TLs and "Canon Events"?

    It feels like there are many patterns that seem to repeat infinitely among America timelines. Events that occur or have their analogues in most timelines concerning the United States. Absences of such an event rarely occurs unless said absence is the divergence. I am also guilty of this...

    What would be the impacts of a British communist revolution in Scotland?

    I was thinking recently, when thinking about the topic of a British revolution of what would be the impacts in Scotland? Let's say that Britain has a communist revolution around 1919. I'm not sure how it could happen but let's just say maybe the Germans win WW1 or something like that. That's not...

  9. AHC: have a revolutionary succeed that didn’t IOTL

    the modern era is all about determined revolutionaries making their mark on the world (well, it’s fun to read about it, in any case) In this thread, I would like to challenge anyone to cause a determined revolutionary, who failed (and maybe faded into obscurity?) IOTL, to succeed in another...

    Unusual ending

    Point of Divergence: parliament does not stop funding Great Britain and Great Britain regains popular support for the war. British forces battle United States forces to a stalemate in 1783 and in 1784 the fighting stops but without a peace treaty, truce, and/or even an armistice. The American...

  13. Semi-successful 1848 Revolutions

    So, I was just thinking about an alternate outcome for the 1848 Revolutions and I was wondering how plausible the scenario is, potential PoDs, and and how it might affect the future of Europe. The results of the Revolutions are: Constitutional monarchy, either Legitimist or Orleanist, in...

    "RFK announces presidential candidacy" - Headline of the Washington Post, 11th December 1967 "Kennedy is plausible.

    La révolution d'avril

    La révolution d'avril April 25th, 1917 The Nivelle Offensive which started 9 days prior but to no avail so far. Three years into WW1 and the war seemed still far from done, "Home by Christmas" is a joke but makes no one laugh. This reality falls hardest on no one more than the French Army...
  16. PC/WI: Communist Revolution Spreading to France

  18. WI: Charles I Stuart spared, but imprisoned

    Let just say that first English Civil War happened like OTL, but while Commonwealth is estabilished, leaders or anti-royalist opposition decide that Charles Stuart, former King of England should'nt be executed (let just say that they don't want to make martyr out of him) but instead he should...
