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...

As the title states, give the USA the most amount of female Presidents - I have posted this in after 1900 for obvious reasons, but if somehow you can have one be pre-1900 that would for sure be allowed too (a successful Victoria Woodhull campaign, perhaps?) Regardless, Good Luck!

Your challenge is to concoct a scenario in which a political family (Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, etc.) has the most individuals hold the oval office. My personal best bets would be the Roosevelts or Kennedys, which is why I've posted this in post-1900, but earlier is definately allowed too! Good...

(Based off multiple things, 1) This thread I made, 2) A post I made in this thread. 3) This second thread I made, 4) This image I made.) We all know the factions of American Civil War. It was fought between the North - The United States of America and the South- the Confederate States of...

With a PoD no early than Ford's inauguration, who is the best candidate to be a Democrat President who wins the 1976 and 1980 elections? I'm still open to the possibility of it being Carter, but it you suggest Carter, what should Carter do differently to put him in the best position to beat...

With a 1900 POD how can the US be turned into a soccer/football powerhouse in the men's game? Being a world power with their national team aswell as having a league that competes with Europe? In the early 1900s soccer was very popular in the US and had one of the highest paying leagues in the...

What if the so called cultural "British Invasion" movement in the mid-60s was a real, full fledged invasion across the Atlantic? Whatever the justifications for this war, its outcome and consequences are up to you - all I ask is that there is no POD prior to 1945 ;)

What would it take for the Americans to win OTL Ontario, south of the 45th parallel, as part of the Treaty of Paris? I'll assume it's not transferred until the Jay's Treaty with the rest of the Ohio country. Once won for the Americans, how does impact the development of Ontario? Using the...

So we all know that America and the UK were allies in ww1 and ww2, & still are to this day. But was there a chance that it could have remained hateful of the British? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a scenario where America continues to hate Britain, and this should...

The first PoD in my scenrio is the earlier War on Terror- instead of 9/11 the 1993 WTC bombing succeeds and Clinton invades Sudan (which hosted the AQ at the time), while intevening more in Somalia and Rwanda. Dur to the Rally around the Flag effect, there is no Republican revolution in 1994...

As we all know Deng Xiaoping laid out the succession of power in China for 2 generations after him- first he was succeeded by Jiang Zemin in early 90s and then Jiang was suceeded by Hu in 2002. While both such transitions are considered to be very smooth, Jiang didn't give up all his posts in...

I think it would be interesting how the US would have developed without the 1924 Immigration Act, but I think given how much of a consensus immigration restrictions were by the time of its passage you have to ask how you could avoid it being passed. What realistically is the most pro immigration...

Henry George and his idea of the Land Value Tax was incredibly popular and unintentionally sparked the Progressive Era. One of the people influenced by his book 'Progress and Poverty' was Theodore Roosevelt. What if during his presidency he actually believed and got a LVT bill (containing a Land...

In this timeline, The War of 1812 resulted in the British keeping The US again, since they can stop all American expansion if they fully annexed the United States of America, they also made the US part of the colony of Upper Canada & and other Colonies, and the south the Confederacy since this...

Let’s say that Roosevelt in the aftermath of the McKinley Assassination but before he died (he stayed more than a week in the hospital before his death) and John Hay takes the office, a more conservative politician than McKinley and strongly anti-labour-union, harming the relations with the...
