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...

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...

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...

As a result of the July 7, 2005 suicide bombings on the London Underground and an intercity bus, in addition to dozens killed and hundreds injured, the value of the British pound fell to a 19-month low against the US dollar and the FTSE 100 fell 200 points for the two hours after the first...

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?

Hey all. I've been a lurker for a good while, and only recently joined this forum. So, I want to give this whole AH thing a shot. If you have any comments or concerns, feel free to share, as I've never done something like this before. Now, on to the show. King Americana: If the USA Had a King...

Before the outbreak of hostilities, America under President James K. Polk offer Mexico a deal. Sending John Slidell (Funnily a future Confederate) as an envoy to Mexico, he had instructions to offer Mexico around $5 Million for the territory of Nuevo Mexico and around $25 million dollars for...

I am currently (trying to) make an AH, and I created this map for US states. (no lore yet) Any feedback? Map (because the file is too large)

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...

I made the assumption (same as reality until 1952)： 1953-1961: Adlai Stevenson II 1961-1963: John F. Kennedy 1963-1969: Lyndon B. Johnson 1969-1977: Hubert Humphrey 1977-1985: George McGovern 1985-1993: Walter Mondale 1993-2001: Tom Harkin 2001-2009: Bill Bradley 2009-2017: Barack Obama...

This scenario is hypothetical: What if the United States system was based on the Roman Republican? Let's say the American founders are enamored by every part of Roman culture and construct a nation based on Rome. First to make it easier for this new America let's assume they never wrote any...

I've been learning more about the American revolution and the reasons why 13 colonies chose to form the United States, and why some other colonies chose not to join this new union. This made me ponder who the United States would develop if other colonies such as Nova Scotia or the Floridas...

the European map is the same as normal iron curtain times. Also yes china goes capitalist because neither the USA nor Russia would allow it to be communist (nor a bunch of other powers) make your own ideas for if it’s democratic Russia/china or dictatorship. The countrys hate each other because...

How plausible is the following scenario: Whatever caused the initial stall in home prices in 2006 happens 6 months earlier. This early weakness leads to Harold Ford inching out a victory in the 2006 Tennessee Senate Race and an additional 10 democratic house seats. This gives the democrats a...

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...

https://www.scmp.com/article/626178/mao-offered-10m-women-trade-us So, what if Kissinger takes this as comedy and jokingly accepts, yet to his surprise shiploads of Chinese refugees begin swarming the west coast in the following months? How would the US respond? China wouldn't accept them...

Your challenge is to have a president somehow, no matter how unlikely or cutthroat the circumstances may be, serve more than the seemingly hard limit set at 10 years in office. As it stands following the passing of the 22nd amendment, an individual can serve 2 elected terms of 4 years...
