Just FYI, Kim Jong Un is NOT the first-born of Kim Jong Il. His first-born is Kim Jong-nam.

Anyway, Succession crisis in North Korea is a TL exploring what could have happened if Kim Jong-nam never went to Disney land and thus remained the appointed successor to Kim Jong Il. Upon the elder Kim's death Kim Jong Un and his sister Kim Yo-jong form a political conspiracy to overthrow nam. TL ends abruptly just as the younger Kims are about to launch a coup. The work was considered lackluster by AH.comers but became famous because the author claimed to be a North Korean citizen attending a European university.

Terrible Plan Destabilizing America


A timeline starting with Josef Stalin surviving his stroke in 1953, though not all will be well for the man of steel. He comes back a little more mentally unhinged than before and starts creating incredibly crazy and unrealistic 'master plans' hell bent on destabilizing the United States. The TL would go on to feature two dozen of these plans, some of the most humorous plans meant to dominate the American ice cream industry and to attack the senate armed forces committee with a flash mob dressed in gorilla suits. All of these plans would fail drastically and blow up in Stalin's face, except for the plan in the finale which was successful in the pantsing of US President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Stalin would die shortly after 'the great pantsing' in 1957.

Rand-Land

In this TL Ayn Rand had a son (born 1931) named Cyrus, after the protagonist of her first novel. Cyrus Rand who was raised in his mother's ideology went into politics in 1953 and was elected US president in 1972, winning against both Nixon, the incumbent Republican US President, and Wallace, his Democratic contenter. In his first year in office he used the weaknesses of the US Constitution to turn the United States into a dictatorship solely based on the principles of Randism. The TL describes life in the United States soon nicknamed "Rand-Land" by its critics and enemies. The TL also describes how this Randistic dictatorship was brought down by civil disobedience in 1982, an event which literally broke Ayn Rand heart because she had to realize that all her theories were completely wrong. Out of the ashes of "Rand-Land" a new United States with a new and stronger constitution were born. But this is a story for another time...

Where the Lord was in the biological attack 12/01/2007 ?

A short TL about a fundamentalist evangelical preacher who gained quite a lot of followers after correctly predicting several islamic terrorist attacks on US soil between 1997 and 2007. Bu the last one, a biological attack on Washington D.C. on December, 1st 2007 did never happen. While many of his followers speculate why his prediction did not come to pass, the FBI arrest him and his inner circle. He was the mastermind behind the terrorist attacks and his inner circle managed to execute them without anyone suspecting who is really responsible. But after five such predictions in ten years the FBI came to the conclusion that the preacher is somehow responsible. So they began their observation and managed to infiltrate the islamic terrorist 'hired' for this terrorist attack...

It Could Happen Anywhere But Never Here!

After successful revolution in 1912 Song Jiaoren managed to live until 1952 and was president of China during 1913-1934. During first years of his reign he managed to crush several rebel warlords and convince other warlords to recognize his presidency by bribery, promises and charisma. On 1917 he signed Cooperation Act with Great Britain and send Chinese workers to Europe. Chinese students were sent to Europe in order to assimilate their technological, political and military knowledge into Chinese Republic. On 1919 he established Nankin's University, one year later he established Engineering School in Beijing. Together with Economy Minister H. H. Kung they managed to establish free market economy in China and encouraged foreign investment due to large, poor workforce in China. Thanks to this they managed to create industrialized country during "Nankin's Decade" (1919-1929). Second Nankin's Decade resulted in enrichment of China people due to lowering taxes, tariffs and promoting consumer goods industry. After Wall Street Crash in 1929 they introduced interventionist economy in China and created massive amount of public works which resulted in building first Chinese highways, bridges, dams, hydroelectric power plants and many others. On 1934 Jiaoren resigned from office due to health problems. His successor was T.V. Soong. On 1935 elections social democrat Zhou Enlai was elected as Chinese Premier. Both developed even stronger Chinese economy and transformed China into welfare state. On 1940 Japanese carriers "Taihō", "Akagi" and "Shinano" attacked Qindao naval base and sank Chinese aircraft carrier "Sun Yat-Sen" and battlecruiser* "Yu-huang Shang Ti". War on land began when Chinese Revolutionary Army** attacked Japanese Korea. In the meanwhile Chinese Carrier Task Force consisted from four Carriers: "China", "Kuomintang", "Yuan Shikai"***, "Song Jiaoren", two battlecruisers: "Pearl", "Fist", three heavy cruisers: "Conqueror", "Dragon", "Madame Sun", ten light cruisers and twenty destroyers engaged Japanese Combined Fleet in combat. Japanese were forced to retreat and lost five destroyers, two light cruisers and one heavy cruiser. On 1st January 1944 after four years of heavy fighting Chinese Army conquered Korea. From 1940-1945 Chinese Navy manged to sunk most of Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships, submarines and submarine aircraft carriers devastated Japanese convoys and fleets. On 14 March 1945 invasion on Taiwan happened and after two months of heavy fighting was successful for China. From 1945 to 1946 strategic bombings on Japan devastated Japanese industry. On 14th December 1946 Hirohito announced from devastated Tokio that Japanese will surrender before Chinese Army.

At the end of war Chinese Navy was most powerful navy in Asia with ten aircraft carriers, twenty battlecruisers, seventeen heavy cruisers, fifty light cruisers, 90 submarine aircraft carriers and few hundred destroyers. Chinese shipyards will deliver ships for less developed countries such as India [first Indian aircraft carrier was built by Chinese during 1947-1949], Thailand [cruisers, destroyers], Indonesia [battlecruisers, submarines], even Australia [three aircraft carriers, two battlecruisers]. Thanks to excellent anti-aircraft guns [later anti-aircraft missiles], radars, fire control and modern seaplanes Chinese battlecruisers would serve in fleet until 2010s and would be great threat to any foe.

*Chinese battlecruisers are lighter and faster version of battleship with stronger guns, torpedo tubes and weaker armour. During Second Sino-Japanese War they served as cruiser-killers and ships for shore bombardment.

** CRA was based on infantry with strong artillery, motorized infantry and tanks support

*** General Yuan Shikai died in 1913 after successful revolution assasinated by imperial faction member.

Socialist British Union

An alternate history timeline first posted in the Future History forum where the left-wing faction of the Labor Party under Jeremy Corbyn won a simple majority in the British Parliamentary elections of 2020. Despite the criticisms not just from within the Labour Party and the parliamentary opposition, but also from the United Nations Secretary-General Pamela Geller, Corbyn and the Labour left-wing faction passed an act that indirectly dissolved the British monarchy and reforming the local government of Great Britain as the British Union, where the rest of England was divided into twelve regions (Lancaster, Northumbria, Yorkshire, West Mercia, East Merica, East Anglia, Thames Valley, Bristol, Wessex, Essex, Sussex and Kent), each given a regional government patterned after Greater London Authority and the title King was replaced by Lord Protector; thus the former Prince of Wales, who took the throne in 2019 after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, was now known as Lord Protector Charles Mountbatten-Windsor of the British Union. Another significant event was the symbolic return of Northern Ireland/Ulster, one of the regions suddenly affected by the so-called "overhaul language change" happened in the first two years of Geller's term as UN Secretary-General, to Dublin. The timeline eventually ended with the defeat of the left-wing Labour
in the 2025 parliamentary elections, in which the UKFP (United Kingdom Federal Party, formerly known as UKIP) under the leadership of Joe McMillian teamed up with the Tories and Liberal Democrats in a coalition government; one of the first acts passed by the McMillian was the restoration of the British monarchy while keeping the local government set-up first implemented by the Corbyn administration. Jeremy Corbyn retired after Labour's defeat in the elections.

The Rebirth of Chu Guo (楚國): An Independent Southern China Timeline

A TL were the Chinese Civil War continues past the 1940s. The Chinese Nationalist never flee to Taiwan and instead manage to establish themselves in Southern China. The eventual demarcation line between "Red China" and "White China" is established at approximately the Huai River. To help ensure their legitimacy, a successor to Chiang Kai-shek (who died in early 1960s in this TL) tries to portray the Nationalist Southern China as a successor to the ancient Chu Guo Kingdom, complete with dubious "archeological and historical" evidence. The TL looks into how world politics would be shaped if China was essentially split in 2, including the impact on the UN (eventually both White and Red China are given a seat on the UN) and the Cold War (Nixon never goes to China, instead trying to build an anti-communist Axis with Nationalist China, East Pakistan, Republic of India and Vietnam.)

The Krasnoyarsk Signal[/B]

In 1969, several Soviet astronomers convince the government to build a radio astronomy observatory in the town of Krasnoyarsk. Its relative isolation means it is generally not noticed by the rest of the world. However, in 1978, a scientist working there finds a strange signal coming from the Orion Nebula. Several officials think it is an American spy satellite looking for installations in the Russian Far East, but continued examinations of the signal seem to indicate that the signal is genuine. The Soviet Union proudly announces that a Soviet station had found the first indication of intelligent life. Visiting American scientists, like Frank Drake and Carl Sagan, confirm that the signal is genuine. The rest of the TL deals with the aftermath and impact the signal has on the rest of the world, and particularly the science in the Soviet Union. There is some discussion on the complicated relationship the USSR had with scientific research, and how making such a large discovery had on that relationship

Jimi at the Disco

"Midnight Lightning" brought down the house at the 1970's Isle of Wight festival. In a four-day concert fraught with technical problems, Jimi Hendrix and his band blasted out this song to close their first set on the third day. Their second set simply added to the legend of the guitarist, with "I was at the Isle" a badge of honor among his fanbase for decades to come.

Fresh off his band's success at the festival, Hendrix, drummer Mitch Mitchell, and bassist Billy Cox decided to take a trip to Paris for some rest and relaxation, cancelling shows in Aarhus and Fehmarn. Free from the stress of round-the-clock touring and enjoying the more hospitable French weather (as opposed to that of London where he had been staying), Hendrix found himself needing fewer and fewer sleeping pills. Nights walking around Paris showed Jimi a country whose past glories and sense of superiority were fading in the light of the fall of their colonial empire, years of governmental turmoil, and the rise of the United States.

One night, Jimi found himself at the Sept, a small discotheque run by Fabrice Emaer. The Sept was open to anyone...as long as they were beautiful. Hendrix and Emaer were about as far apart as two people could be, but kindred spirits are found in the strangest places. Between post-De Gaulle France and Nixon's America, there was more that united them than divided them.

After two months, Jimi returned to New York and the Electric Lady Studios. Relaxed, Hendrix was bursting with ideas from his trip to Paris and discussions with Emaer. What followed was the release of 1971's The Discotheque Sept, a double-album that mixed blues and rock-and-roll, but also contained some quiet protests and musings about the state of the world at the time. While conservative figures railed against the album, all it did was introduce legions of fans to Hendrix and his style.

Electric Lady Studios was soon nicknamed "The Disco" by those who frequented it. This included such luminaries as Steve Winwood and Chris Wood of Traffic, Jim Morrison of the Doors (whose 1971 trip to Paris also revitalized the Lizard King), Chuck Berry, and even the King himself, Elvis Presley. An impromptu 1973 jam session with Hendrix, Presley, Mitchell, and a young guitarist named Joe Walsh became one of the most sought after bootlegs of the 1970's and 1980's, and wasn't officially released until the deaths of both Hendrix (domestic violence) and Presley (heart attack) in 1989.

Pax Espanol

It's 258 and Diocletian splits the Empire. However, instead of a West centered in Rome, the West is centered in Barcelona, an ancient city founded by Rome's greatest enemy. Despite Rome's best efforts however Rome itself is still conquered by the Vandals and Gaul by the Franks. However, when barbarians try to cross the Pyrenees the Romans decisively defeat them. Rome is able to save itself however, it is humbled. Relegated to Hispania and parts of Western North Africa, it looks inward to fix its problems. However now it is 1094 and a new Emperor rises to the throne, Emperor Cid. Europe will once again know the power of Rome and Pax Espanol!

American Social Democrat Party after Great Depression

The Great Depression made an impact on both American politics and economy, especially when Theodore Roosevelt became President in 1933. His "New Deal" policy created a division within the Democratic Party, as supporters of Roosevelt's policies became a major force within the party. The pro-New Deal faction, called the "Social Democrats", alienated the traditional Democrats to the point of separating themselves from the Democratic Party, establishing the New America Party, better known as the "Whigs". In effect, the remaining Democrats are sometimes called "Social Democrats".

The Huastecan Gullahs

The aftermath of an alternate Mexican-American War sees a small population of 'Gullah' slaves abandoned in Mexico when the US withdraws from the coast. Feeling Mexican forces, they end up falling in with the surviving Huastecan Indians. While the wider implications of the timeline continue around them, the two people intermarry, feud over culture, and spark a whole new group that find themselves on the backfoot sixty years later when American forces return to the country.
