united states alt-history

Hello everybody! This is one of my first timelines that I am making (excluding some certain attempts in the past.) This TL is gonna be about the US of A. However, I'm not going to spoil anything about this TL. As I don't want to promise much, I'll say that I'll post probably every few days...

I have found that my question didn’t have enough context to work with so until me and the boys(the community) figure this out, we are discussing different TLs and possible new TLs. Original text: After all my research I’ve done it seems a bit of a stretch that a war could break out. But let’s...

Hello! Earlier today a thought crossed my mind about Thomas Jefferson and slavery. Of course, you read the title so you already know exactly what I was thinking about. In terms of the situation itself; you don't need to do much digging to. find out Jefferson wasn't a fan of slavery, describing...

POD has to be 1936 or later, and it has to be a victory in the electoral college, though not necessarily the popular vote.

It is now 2022, we are 90 years from the formation of the U.S. Department of Eugenics, formed 4 years after the Supreme Court ruled in 1928, in Buck v. Bell, that "genetic hygiene" was ruled a "compelling state interest". At the time supported by Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, and Henry Ford. Yet...

Hope and Strife; A Cold War political timeline...

Current year: 1914 Anno Domini

And Then Came Spoons The wild & almost true story of Benjamin Butler Hello reader, and welcome to "And Then Came Spoons", the story of Benjamin Butler, or a fake version of Benjamin Butler. Some civil war nerds may recognize the name, but for those who don't know, I will give a brief...

From the founding of Jamestown in 1607 onward, what would be necessary for the territory currently occupied by the United States to have an Irish majority?

I wondered how culture and government would have changed if Prabhupada's movement grew at a significant rate. I would imagine a reasonable percentage for 60+ years would be somewhere round 30% of Americans are of the Vaishnava westernized ISKCON religion as a result of Prabhupada living slightly...

This is my first timeline, so comments and help would be greatly appreciated :) The year is 1989. News has just broken that the Berlin Wall, the sign of the Soviet Union, is being torn down. The symbol of communism and the Soviet Union. Yet at this time, the West watches in celebration, as it...

Hello Y'all, I am creating an alternate history thread on if Henry A. Wallace became Vice President instead of Harry S. Truman. This will explore the political, economical, and social changes that would happen if he became Vice President and succeeded FDR instead of Truman. This timeline will...

In 1850, the Compromise of 1850 divided North and South to an extreme. Sectionalism was at an all time high. Ten years later, the United States was divided. However, secession was not new. New England threatened to do it in 1814. South Carolina had threatened to in Andrew Jackson's presidency...

The United States of America An Alternate Timeline Summary (Introduction/Side Note) Hello. Thank you for visiting my new page on what an alternate history of the United States might look like. I tried to incorporate as much realism as possible while still adding enough "action" to make it...

What if anything changes if the USAF isn't established as a third branch of the military in 1947. Were there any particular lessons from WWII that made its independence from the Army necessary?

Now, I don't care how, as many people will probably speculate, however I want to know what effects such a victory would have? By some miracle the British have managed to occupy the northern USA and hold their ground against desperate attempts by the remnants of the USA to take their territory...

Author's Note: That's right, stepping into the Non-Gaming timeline ring! This is my take on a Gore presidency, though I do warn you all, there will be some twists you may not expect later on down the road. For now though, let's be fixated on the man, the myth, the legend himself, Albert Arnold...

Considering the tensions that still existed between the British and the Americans by the time the US entered world War 1, what would it take for the US to enter the war as a German Ally? How would this shape the rest of the century? What happens to Britain and France? Could the Russian Empire...

Hello everyone, this is my first TL here, so please go easy on me. Red Wave: A World Bathed in Crimson asks the question, "What if the Soviet Union 'won' the Cold War?" Yes, I am aware that TLs that take place during the Cold War are a bit overdone here, but this period of history is my area...

The United States of America today we are told is technically bankrupt. But to my understanding, it wasn't always the case. 50 year ago the U.S. had the role that China has today. The dollar in the early 1960s/late 1950s was as powerful as the Chinese Renminbi is today. The U.S. was also at the...
