  1. TLIAW: White, Blue and Red

    Henry Wallace is an interesting character, and there is so much to explore about him - all of which has been covered over and over again by many excellent authors. However, I have found that almost all althistory works prepare Wallace for a certain outcome once in power: losing the 1948...
  2. WI: The Spanish-speaking immigration to the US was actually from Spain?

    What if the major influx of Hispanics into the US in recent decades wasn't from Latin America, but instead from Spain itself? Ignoring the logistics of what may cause millions of Spaniards to leave (perhaps a messier breakup of a messier fascist regime, who knows), how would American attitudes...
  3. WHAT IF : US-USSR Joint Invasion of the Empire of Japan Between 1941-1944 ? (Maybe with the help of KMT in China?)

  4. Would the US recognise the South even if they won?

    In discussions about a Confederate victory in the Civil War the question of recognition is dominated by whether or not the UK and/or France would recognise Southern independence, given how crucial that would be for the war. But I think there's an equally important question that is being left...

    HW Bush second term foreign policy?

    So, let's say George HW Bush gets a second term in 1992. A lot of interesting foreign policy decisions had to be made by the US in Clinton's first term, how might Bush Sr. a much more experienced foreign policy leader handle them? How would this effect the world? The big issues...
  8. AHC: Have the USA go to war with the most countries possible throughout its existence

    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...

    Peaceful Reunification of CSA and USA?

    We're all familiar with CSA victories scenarios. One key detail I've seen in some of these stories or even in discussions about the idea is that the CSA gets reconquered by the USA eventually, or the CSA collapses in on itself. One of the most famous stories to do the latter idea is Harry...

  18. Brainstorming Ideas for US military junta timeline

    Hi everyone, I'm home for month for winter break, so I thought I'd occupy myself by doing some writing. Concept of military juntas running otherwise democratic countires always seemed interesting to me. So I'm interested if you all have any thoughts as to: -What era would be best for it? -What...
