In this thread, you can either suggest an Alternate History timeline (either amateur or published) that you would love to read about, or you can point a user to such a story or timeline.
Alternate History timelines I always love are the ones where an African/Asian/Native American country avoids colonization and becomes a great power on its own. The Years of Rice and Salt actually made me an Alternate History fan even if the premise is a bit unrealistic. I also love speculative stories about societies that could have existed in real life but didn't. Examples include proto-communist societies, matriarchial societies, Christian socialist societies, communal reproduction societies, etc.
One more cool idea is where a common Alternate History idea goes in a completely different direction. Like say a timeline with a Confederate victory only for the CSA to later fall to a communist revolution. Or a Nazi victory that later gives birth to an anarchist society.
