well, I almost made an American Fidel Castro thread but then I realized it's already taken by someone else. so Is it possible for Tojo Hideki from Japan to be an American?

Welcome to 'Legacy of the Bull Moose' a timeline I hate rebooting but feel myself constantly going back to. Legacy of the Bull Moose is a timeline in which Theodore Roosevelt is elected in 1912 under the Progressive ticket. While rather improbable and I would say generally unlikely I chose a PoD...

Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars A TL by RamscoopRaider Part I: The Great War …Muhamed Mehmedbašić, perhaps the most infamous name in modern history. The one man who more than anything ended the golden age of the Long Nineteenth Century and brought on the horrors of...

As it says on the tin. Had the British not been fighting with two hands behind their back in the War of 1812 thanks to Napoleon, they would have won handily. And this power disparity more or less rang true until the end of the American Civil War. But post Civil War the United States' power grew...

Supposing that the US chose to go down the path of monarchism instead of the new and unfamiliar road of Republicanism, how would this alternate United States develop. There were monarchist supporters in the Continental Congress after all. A prominent Founding Father like Alexander Hamilton...

This idea was inspired by David Fletcher's book British Military Transport, 1829-1956, and an interesting point he made regarding the British Army and the DUKW. According to Fletcher, in December 1942 the British Truck Mission in Washington DC gave the Ministry of Supply's requirement for...

In the early 19th century what is now Columbia was disputed between the British Empire and the United States of America, with both claiming the stretch of land between the 54' and 44' parallels north and delimitated to the east by the Great Continental Divide only for the empire finally assert...

Jefferson’s Anti-Slavery Crisis Vignettes I was originally thinking of history as a wave, with the people being carried along it. However, that merits further investigation, as individuals often have large amounts of agency in history. Often times, historical movements are the results of a...

Let's say that Kefauver was able to win the nomination and Eisenhower, which I recall didn't want to be president, chose not to run for president. How would a Kefauver presidency affect the United States, and more importantly, the World?

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...

I had this a bit of an interesting scenario, what if a conflict broke out between the world's greatest rivals before they were rivals? Let's say instead of WWI breaking out in 1914, you have a conflict somehow breaking out between the Russian Empire and United States for whatever reason. In...

With a POD of 1930, how may you get John Foster Dulles as POTUS? How may you achieve this? What would his administration’s policies look like?

Author's Notes: "Crimson Banners Fly" is an alternate history timeline set at the turn of the century, at the precipice of momentous change for the United States. This will be a re-imagining of an older timeline of mine from around 2015/6 called "Paint it Red" (posted only on the Atlas Forum)...

I know this is a overused POD or something however in almost every thread regarding this i find two areas of the spectrum. 1. British - Oh hell no! We would kick those yankees kingdom come! 2. American - Oh hell no! We kick those pompous Brits in their arses and seize Canada! What i find...

The Iron Giant, is an one of the Warner Bros. Pictures famous animated cartoons, won the best picture award. How can I tell you this, if this film hadn't failed, then released the series in the early 2000s, for single or two seasons. Here is about Osmosis Jones too, for me quite to taste...

Anyone who has read Harry Turtledove's The Guns of the South may be aware that, after losing the Civil War to the South, the Union started a war with Britain after invading Canada. The book says that the Union is doing great in land, even taking Ottawa, but is suffering big losses at sea...

Hello everyone, This is a question that has been in my head for a while now. Let's say that in the 1930s, a communist revolution occurs in America. No other country grabs land from the new communist America. All the territory that the pre-communist America had, the communist America would have...

The War of 1812 is really a small event within world history, being most remembered in the US and (maybe) Canada. As such, it doesn't have too many ramifications for world history, aside for potential Canadian nationalism issues. Yet, an interesting case, in my opinion, to think about, is the...

The People’s Party is probably the most successful third party in American history that never overtook one of the major parties. The Populists, as they were often called, never won the presidency but managed to form a fusion ticket with the Democrats and in many ways were harbingers of the...
