  1. What Happened to the Del Rey Web Site???

    I hung out on the Del Rey AH Web Site quite a bit when I was in school. It was a pretty rocking place. Now it gets 1-2 posts a month? What happened???

  2. No Spam

    Im not talking the email sort. What if the delicious and heavanly luncheon meat was never invented?

  3. The Chunnel:1939

    What if the Chunnel is operating on the eve of World WarII?

  4. Canada More like the USA

    As we know, Canadians are in many ways polar opposites of Americans. Canadians are comfortable with government intervention in their lives while Americans tend to be distrustful of it. Americans have much more faith in the free markets (not to say Canadians are not, just much less so)...

  5. 1968: Joint NVA/N Korean Offensives

    OTL, North Vietnam tried to prod Kim Il Sung into going onto the offensive in the 60s. It largely did not work. North Korea stepped up activities on the DMZ but did nothing truly significant. What if Kim agrees and he strikes at Seoul in conjunction with the Tete Offensive?

  6. No Rhodes Scholarships

    Cecil Rhodes goes to his grave without setting up his special little Oxford University trust fund. Does it matter?

  7. A Split at the Constitutional Convention

    Okay, the Constitutional Convention is going on to replace the non-hacking Articles of Confederation. Like in our timeline, delegates propose compromise provisions in the Constitution regarding slavery. What if the Southern delegates see these compromises as what they wound up...

  8. History's Most Overrated Generals/Admirals

    This should probably go in the off topic site, but what the hell. Here are mine (no particular order): 1. Vo Nguyen Giap- A logistical genius but mediocre tactician. Could come up with brilliant solutions to get men and material where needed....and then send them in head long charges...

  9. The Hong Kong Handover Goes Poorly

    Ive started re-reading an old book of mine called Pacific Nightmare by Simon Winchester. It was future history when it was published in 1992 but I think it could be look at as Alternate History today. The story goes something like this. The Chinese renege on their agreement to keep Hong...

  10. 1980: Team USA looses to the USSR in hockey

    Watched Miracle over the weekend. Normally I cant stand sports. When I think sporting events I think of not getting to see my favorite TV shows due to preemption. But the activities surrounding the 1980 US Olympic hockey team is an exception. I get choked up every time I think about those...

  11. Guantanamo War 1977

    Heres the scenario: The US military is demoralized post Vietnam. Carter is in office and hes being a total wuss. El Jefe decides its time to make Cuba whole. The Cuban Army is on the offensive and heading for the USMC positions on the Guantanamo fence line. What happens now?

  12. Alternate Invasion Of Japan

    I posted this to another site during the unfortunate dissappearance of Alternatehostory.net. Enjoy! In preparing for the invasion of Japan in WW2, the US military went with the Army Downfall plan which called for a direct assault on the home islands of Kyushu and Honshu. Curiously enough...

  13. Morgenthau Plan Implemented

    Towards the latter half of WW2, the US (and presumably the allies) began planning how to deal with Germany and Japan after hostilities ended. In both instances, the enemy nations were allowed to exist and capital sent to build them back up (Japan did a little better in that the head of state...

  14. Years of Rice and Salt

    Im surprised this one hasnt made it here. What did anyone think of Robinson's take on an AH where Europe is destroyed by the Black Death? I thought the stream of events was plausible but the afterlife sequences were distracting. Comments?

  15. A Different Battle for Mogadishu

    It seems to me Clinton decided to pull out of Somalia almost exclusively as a result of seeing American dead dragged through the streets. Had this not happened, I think Operation Gothic Serpent would have continued. As an example, a blackhawk from the 101st Airborne crashed a few days before...

  16. Samurai Revolt 1970

    Title is a little misleading. I was afraid if I put down Yukio Mishima, nobody would take a look! Well, Mishima thought he was a Samurai of a sort. In 1970, Japanese author and ultra nationalist Yukio Mishima and heand picked leaders of his militia appeared at a Self Defense Force Army...

  17. O.J. Simpson.....GUILTY!

    So, what if? Would there be Rodney King style riots?

  18. No Roe v. Wade

    The pro-abortion forces in America were keenly focused on getting a Supreme Court decision. The matter of Ms. Roe was but one of many they nurtured. However, abortion is a legal matter the Supreme Court would not be forced to hear. What if the Supreme Court refused to grant a writ of...

  19. No Military Draft in Anglophone Nations

    English speaking nations do not have a long history of involuntarily forcing their young men into military service. It was not until 1864 that any such political unit enacted draft laws. On the rare occasions Anglophone nations did fire up a draft, it was always met with stiff oppostion...

  20. The Laos Incursion: 1966

    I thought this one was discussed before. Did a search and came up with nothing. If I missed it, sorry! Its 1965-1966. GEN Westmoreland requests LBJ give him more troops and authorization to invade Laos. Pres. Johnson is impressed with the plan as he sees it as a quick way to stabilize the...
