I was reading a compilation of alt-hist short stories I found in my car recently, and I came to a conclusion. There were a lot of really interesting personalities, and places throughout history (the 20th Century being the crux of this page) that I have seen little or no AH on. Like...
Billy Mitchell (I want to see him not get court-martialed)
Leonard Wood (He always got overshadowed by TR)
John Pershing (I suppose American Empire just showed me you could do it)
Paul Erich von Lettow-Vorbeck (He just screams for a pulpy adventure story
where he has adventures in the Congo as a hero in the First World War)
Michael Collins (Like no one ever wanted HIM to survive and possibly lead Irish forces into battle independently in World War II? I know they weren't in it in OTL, but I might as well throw it out there.)
Mackenzie King
Baron von Richtoven
John Glenn
as far as places go...
Dieppe
Gallipoli
Orbit
The Moon
North Africa
Palestine/Israel
I just wanted to get that off my chest. I know it's not really about any particular POD or story, but I know there's other people out there with these ideas in the backs of their minds. We've all thought up ideas that would be great if we could just hand them to someone else.
Has anyone been aching for AH you've never seen?
