  1. Rosalind Franklin lives to 90

    She might do some of the things that Aaron Klug did as he took over after She died.

  2. Could The Roman Empire have conquered all of the British isles, had it chosen to try?

    What about just rumors they exist in the caves of the Highlands or some other nonsense? "Great Underground Cities Made of Cheese Gold"!!!! Or maybe the Romans just are speculative enough to care about rumors. What about Purple dye...

  3. Could The Roman Empire have conquered all of the British isles, had it chosen to try?

    Would stories of large amounts of gold that could just be scooped up by the handfuls work? I'm not suggesting that we go ASB and actually change the amount just the speculation/rumor that tons exists.

  4. Alternate/What If Osprey Titles

    Eagle Project The objective was to train and send Korean soldiers to infiltrate five key strategic cities in the Japanese-occupied Korean Peninsula: Chongjin, Sinuiju, Busan, Pyongyang, and Seoul. However, the operation never passed the training phase and was interrupted by the surrender of...

  5. WI: Vichy Without Petain

    Without Petain would this push de Gaulle's idea of the Franco-British Union through without Petain's opposition? Without Petain I think we get Pierre Laval in his place and more collaboration with Germany.

  6. Best case scenario for native Americans in the US

    Start by preventing the Jamestown Massacre in 1622 by the Powhatan, the Pequot War, and King Philip’s War (1675-1676) from occurring. Big POD to happen there but it will butterfly away some of the support the British and American colonies had for just taking Native Lands via force. I am not...

  7. Could The Roman Empire have conquered all of the British isles, had it chosen to try?

    Would Roman roads make Scotland and Ireland different?

  8. How long can Decolonization be delayed?

    As colonies started to want to move away from their parent countries the thought was that if the US opposed decolonization the former colonies would move more into the Soviet sphere of influence and into communism as a way to break free from Western (European) influence and sphere. You could...

  9. WI: Further Muslim Expansion into France

    That is going to cause a large amount of Frank bungling for a Muslim Al-Andalus to exist for the next 700+ years and the Iberian Peninsula to remain under their control as well.

  10. WI: Further Muslim Expansion into France

    Pepin the Short comes South as in OTL...followed by Charlemagne.

  11. How would a NATO invasion of Warsaw Pact go?

    We finally really did it. [pounds the sand; angrily] YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! [camera pans to reveal the half-destroyed Statue of Liberty sticking out of the sand] --- Georgia Taylor years later.... (Planet of the Apes) Not really but I agree lots...

  12. Greek Civil War 1949-1950 Europe's Korean War

    Instead of a handful of assassins from the Stalin it would be dozens if not waves.

  13. Greek Civil War 1949-1950 Europe's Korean War

    The communist "failure" in Greece had more to do with the the British and then US and the large supply of arms and materials to the Kingdom of Greece. In OTL Stalin was wary of pressing into Greece. He had agreed with Churchill in the percentages agreement and at Yalta over the situation in...

  14. Divide the United States into East and West.

    The US doesn't buy the Louisiana Purchase....Mexico-American War gives them Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana.

  15. AHC/What If: End the Atlantic Slave Trade earlier

    Part of the problem with Africa before the scramble for Africa is that Europeans couldn't get to the interior and up the rivers until the steam boat came around. Villages on the coast could just up and move in land and away from any Europeans until later in OTL. Add in the factor of disease...

  16. AHC/What If: End the Atlantic Slave Trade earlier

    Good points! My point was that the idea of slaves and slavery being acceptable was in place before the Atlantic Slave trade. That attitude and acceptance might need to be quelled or changed to affect the Atlantic Slave Trade later.

  17. AHC/What If: End the Atlantic Slave Trade earlier

    That will take a number of changes in Europe before 1492. Slavery had been going on in Europe since the time of the Romans though shifted to unfree labor domestic servants or agricultural workers tied to the land and such. Before 1492 Southern Europe had begun importing a number of African...

  18. AHC/What If: End the Atlantic Slave Trade earlier

    Once Locke is born and starts talking about this. The Atlantic Slave Trade started a couple hundred years at least before Locke was even born. I do agree with you that we could get a 1776ish date rather than the 1807 date if the Founding Fathers tried to go this route. Though you might butterfly...

  19. If the "South" won the American Revolution

    The US was just after New Orleans at the beginning of negotiations. Could go this way or Napoleon could push things through like happen in OTL to get it done. The US in OTL couldn't afford it in reality either!!! Took a number of bond deals, flipping currency values, and Napoleon pushing...

  20. AHC: Make Escort Carriers Prevalent Among Developing Nations During The Cold War.

    What about drones? There was development in the 1940s into the 1950s and till today with those that could drop torpedo's and bombs. Even someone like a zany dictator could boast that their country "Has the means to drive off those Western Imperialist from our shores now!!! With their new...
