  1. Thoughts on HBO Succession as Alt History (Spoilers for Season 4 episode 8)

    These are just some ramblings about last nights episode. Although HBO's Succession is not focused on alt-politics the last few episodes have centered around an alt-2020 election. I assume it is the 2020 election since the show's first season premiered in 2018 and there has only been one...
  2. Surviving Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy

    What would be the chances or what would need to happen for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy to survive? Do you think that in the case of a surviving New Netherland and New France, they would be able to play the settlers against each other to survive (they would need to halt the inland advance of...
  3. Monarchism in the Americas

    Open question: if somehow the Agustin de Iturbide manages to hold on to the Mexican crown, firmly establishing a “House of Iturbide”. How much would monarchism spread across the rest of the Americas? We can assume Brazil also keeps their own. Would Mexico and Brazil be the odd ones out? Or where...
  4. India in a Napoleonic Victory scenario... brainstorm

    What could be the fate of British India, specifically the East India Trade Co. in the event of a Napoleonic Victory scenario? I realize that the timing and manner of Napoleon’s victory would greatly affect the outcome, but assume it comes as a result of Napoleon being successful in the War of...
  5. Greater Texas... or Rio Grande Federation? Map

    A Map inspired by the discussion on this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/could-texas-have-lasted-as-a-buffer-state-between-the-u-s-and-mexico.502211/#post-21454356
  6. Burr "wins" the election of 1800… then what?

    During the election of 1800 Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, the Dem-Republican nominees for President and VP respectively got the same number of electoral votes. At the time the votes for POTUS and VP were cast in the same pool with the Presidency going to the person with the most votes, and VP...
  7. Plausability Check: German implosion post WWI

    How likely would it be to have Germany fully implode post -WWI? In OTL, between the November Revolution, the declaration of the brief Bavarian Soviet Republic, and the Kiel mutiny, and the harshness of Versailles, it seems that Germany as a whole actually dodged a bullet and managed to stay in...
  8. Queen Calafía’s Island: A California Republic Timeline

    Let’s see how this goes. I’ve seen a few independent California TL’s but never one that has gotten all the way to the present day. I don’t promise I’ll make it, but I have an outline lined up. Hope you enjoy! A Timeline of the West 1510: From the Deeds of Esplandián “Where did it come...
  9. What would a “fair” Treaty of Versailles / Paris Peace Conference look like?

    As the title says, what do you guys think a “fair” Treaty of Versailles / Paris Peace Conference look like? Basically let’s imagine at the end of WWI – keeping the POD around the time of the armistice in November 1918 - the Allied leaders got a sudden spurt of enlightenment and did their best...
  10. Languages of Europe Map Draft (feedback request)

    After trying to explain language nuances across Europe (specifically Italy) to someone very unfamiliar, I went a little overboard with a side project and ended up drawing this map (it ended up being the first post on my DA account as well). I based this off multiple maps and articles, and at...
  11. If Russia had kept Alaska: What would be logistics of a Romanov exile?

    We frequently see scenarios in which Russia manages to hold on to Alaska until the 20th century. And when TLs that follow this scenario more often than have it turn into a White or Tsarist Russia in exile: a “Taiwan” for the Soviet Union for lack of a better comparison. I’m interested in...
  12. The Losers; A Brief and Alternate POTUS Timelime

    This is something I came up with a short and quick TL (with little detail but lots of fun bits). Inspired by a post I can no longer find where every administration got a mirror version of itself, I challenged myself to make a TL outline where every person who got an electoral vote for President...
  13. How I Learned to Balkanize America… A Timeline

    How I Learned to Balkanize America… and Screw with The Rest of the World while I’m Was at it As Well. A Timeline Alright. So, despite the fact that I have a timeline still in the works, I’ve opted to start a new project; one that will hopefully result in quite a bit of fun. A Mexican...
  14. Anyone been following/contributing to Reddit's "what if history where a movie" thread

    This is hilarious: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1qoyn2/assume_all_of_world_history_is_a_movie_what_are/ I'm curious on your guys' thoughts on it.
  15. A Mexican "Victory" 2.0: A Timeline

    Sup, everyone. Last year I started a TL where Mexico does significantly better during the Mex-American war and as a consequence the second half of the 19th century. RL caught up with me and the TL died. My notes continued and now I have the war (and a bit more) fully finished. So it was time to...
  16. Hannibal Victorious. How different a Europe do we get? An AHC and a Question.

    I think it is safe to assume that a POD as early as the Punic wars would render world unrecognizable from any modern perspective. It is probably even impossible to try and describe the modern world when you have a POD that far back. But it can also be really fun, as you are basically allowed to...
  17. A Mexican "Victory": A short North American Timeline

    Alright so a challenge in this thread (Warning there are some spoilers in that thread)made me write a scenario that now evolved into a TL about a Mexico that does better off in the second half of the 19th century. After a different Mex-American war. It will be short just a few updates long...
  18. What if no World Wars/Great Wars?

    As the title says, what would the world look like today had there not been any great wars during the 20th century? How to avoid them doesn't really matter, there would obviously need to be one or two short wars between France & Germany to finally set things even, probably a Civil War in Russia...
  19. Balkan based Ottoman Empire. Is it possible?

    So a discussion in this thread about the the possible fates of the Ottoman Empire has inspired this question: Would it be possible to have an Ottoman Empire (or a Constantinople based successor state) with most of its territory in the Balkans? This could either be an Orthodox south slavic...
  20. Early Fall of Russian and Ottoman Empires

    So Russia almost underwent a revolution in 1905 prior to WWI. Is there any chance of this revolution actually taking of? What would be the consequences of such an event? As I understand it the goal of this revolution was simply the end of autocracy and the privileged boyars; it was not as...
