As the title states, your challenge is to have the US of A go to war with as many countries throughout its history as possible (win or lose doesn't matter so long as it is at least somewhat realistic) Here is my go at at it; (Any countries that would have been at war multiple times will only be...

as far as I know, there was a chance for California to secede during the war and Oregon apparently had an independence movement too- how much can the US unravel during the ACW?

(This question is more focused on the Anglosphere generally, but insight on other places would be welcome too.) Basically, I've seen some TLs where neoliberalism remains a fringe ideology, or is blunted significantly. What I was interested was in the opposite: Could it have been possible to...

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...

Most Alt-history narratives explore the scenario of Mexico remaining a vast "empire", potentially rivaling the United States in power. This speculation is cool indeed, but here I would like to think about a smaller Mexican State. At the time of its independence, Mexico was indeed enormous, and...

Okay fine, clickbait title, I know. (This is more about the developing world than taking down the Soviets.) But more specifically, what I'm asking about is the plausibility of a strategy where the US cuts back on the military interventions and coups in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and...

(So, I'm trying to come up with an idea for a concept for a private project of mine, inspired by @Ambassador Huntsman's timeline amazing Nobunaga's Ambition Timeline (Go read it if you haven't), but not using the Gavin Menzies' 1421 idea; I want late East Asian colonization, where Japan...

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...

I'm curious on what this site can offer in regards to this region of the United States of America. For instance, I heard on a Cine Capri documentary that the Star Wars fandom in Arizona alone was so enthusiastic, the prequels were made because of them, starting a huge action science...

Let's say a hypothetical scenario where for whatever reason Liberia tries to a military conquest for Sierra Leone during the American Civil War (like 1963) but it wraps up two years after the Civil War ending with British annexing Liberia. With Liberians not wanting to live under the British a...

A Soviet soldier watching forced laborers near Athens clearing debris. Local communist officials helped run the Greek capital for the Soviets before the liberation of Greece. Many Athenian writers, singers, professors, and others in similar professions were purged by the NKVD and dumped into...

Chapter 1: The Republic Could Not be Kept The Battle of Saratoga was the high-point for the Continental Army The devastating, decade-long War for Independence proved an immense struggle for the fledgling United States, devastating much of the nation and bringing the disorganized “Confederate...

As I understand it, women weren't technically banned from voting in the UK until the Reform Act 1832, which expanded the property franchise for men, but also defined a voter as a male person, explicitly barring women from voting. While I understand that women didn't vote often beforehand by...

The simplest way I can explain is that instead of have $1 - $100 Banknotes the US adopted a system that had $1 -$100 coins? How would something like this be implemented in the 1800s and how would this change American History?

Very shakily posting this in post-1900, but I think that's the more likely of the two. Your challenge is to create a second American Civil War, within the parameters of 1865-2023. Whatever the reason for said war is up to you - It could be racial, political, gendered or something else entirely...

One alternate history scenario I have not seen discussed is for the US to agree to extradite the Shah as soon as the Ayatollah Khomeini demands this. One major cause of the Iran hostage crisis was the United States accepting the Shah, who was gravely ill with cancer, for treatment. The US...

I am planning on uploading a story that continues after the end of the SS-GB show. It would focus on Archer’s efforts to further undermine German occupation of Britain as well as international developments. Will explain more soon, but I have ideas regarding the situation of British Jews, the...

I have been moderately researching the idea of a Reagan win in 1976 and this got me thinking about what would be some other possible times we could have had our timelines presidents become president earlier or later then IOT. For me what first springs to mind is of course the aforementioned...

As it says on the tin, with a PoD in the year 1945, create a good situation for the United States to see a military coup occur in the 1980s and that coup solidifies power into a legitimately strong dictatorship.
