  1. The Official Project X Graphics, Etc. Thread!

    Hi there, ladies and gentlemen. I recently completed another semester of college so, I figured I might be able to start working on more of my timelines. So, I'm sure some of y'all may be wondering....."Just what is Project X, CaliBoy?". Project X was my very-first ever serious attempt at an...

  2. The Official POD Date Picking Thread!

    Hi there, ladies and gentlemen. While I was thinking of new TL ideas earlier today, a thought entered into my head-"Why not start a thread where folks can brainstorm ideas for new TLs from random PODs?" This was inspired by an idea I first briefly explored a couple of years ago, where I would...

  3. The Official Journey To The Future Graphics (and Maps) Thread!

    Hello there, folks. For a little while now, I've been working on my FH/spec-fic TL, Journey To The Future, and I figured it was time to get the TL's official graphics thread up and running. Journey To The Future, while it's present day is set in the year 2121, will be featuring a lot of...

    Project X: An Experimental Free-Form Alternate History Work By Steve “Alternate Steve” L. Prologue: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, it's Steve L.-you all on AlternateHistory.com also know me by my longtime username on here, "CaliBoy1990". For those of you who enjoy the alternate...

  5. DBWI: A less powerful Mexico?

    Hi, folks. Recently, I'd finished re-reading both Patrick Martin's classic 50 State America trilogy(TL-76 to the AH fan community), as well as the original fan spinoff, For Want of a Mission. (which went up until Jan. of 2001-25 years past the original, save a few excerpts at the end) As much...

  6. AH Challenge: Early 20th Century "Cold War".

    Been wanting to do this for a while, but now, here we are. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to set up a "Cold War" type scenario at somepoint in the early 20th Century(by no later than 1919/20), preferably after a major war of some kind, with a POD prior to the year 1900, but...

  7. WI: William Adelin & the "White Ship" survived?

    Hi, folks. I normally don't ever tread too much, if at all, into Medieval type scenarios, but this one's piqued a bit of interest for a while(and I may even make a short story and/or Oneshot Scenario out of it) What if, somehow, William Adelin and company actually survive the trip back home? How...

  8. I've got a new TL on the way! Can you help with a name & POD(s)?

    Hi, folks. About a month ago, at the end of August, I asked how a monarchy could come about in a British America, after a failed *Revolutionary War, in the interests of possibly starting a new TL. Since then, I've decided to go ahead and take the plunge. (don't worry, I haven't totally...

  9. How could an American monarchy come about in a world w/failed ARW?

    Hi, folks. I've recently been thinking about starting a new project, and I'd like to ask a question: How could an American monarchy, of any kind, be set up in a world in which the American Revolution failed? What might it's head of state be called, if not a King(or Queen)? Would the monarch be...

  10. DBWI: Zachary Taylor, not Henry Clay, in 1848.

    Hi, folks. I was just looking thru some old historical documents for a TL I wanted to write, when I came across an old 1970s book about U.S. Presidential elections-I happened to read the 1848 entry and I found out a neat little tidbit: Zachary Taylor almost won the Whig nomination that year...

  11. DBWI: Remembering the Massacre at the Bastille.....and a question of what could have been.

    IC: So, today is the 227th anniversary of the Massacre at the Bastille, and my cousin is in Paris for the Rememberance Ceremony. Having had an interest in French history myself for some time, this got me thinking? What if the attempt to free the political prisoners of the Crown had succeeded...

  12. DBWI: What if Progressivism had been a political movement?

    Hi folks. So, anyway, I'm currently entering the final three weeks of my History 1301 course here at Cal State, San Jose, and, this week, we touched a little bit on the development of the Progressive ideology that began to develop in the 1880s. IOTL, Progressivism was a philosophical...

  13. AHC/WI: *USSR formed in early 1990s after U.S./Russian Empire Cold War.

    As it says on the label, what if, in some other universe, the Russian Empire had survived another 75 years past it's OTL expiration date of 1917, only to get entangled in a Cold War with the United States and loses, collapsing in say, sometime between 1988 and 1993, after which a *Soviet Union...

  14. DBWI: John C. Calhoun not assassinated?

    OOC: Inspired by the Jackson thread; POD is sometime in 1827-28. Warning, textwall ahead. IC: Hello there, fellow Alternate Historians! I've just completed my sophomore dissertation on how John C. Calhoun's December 1828 assassination helped lead to the slow but steady alienation of the South...

  15. AHC/WI: International U.S./Canadian Canal(s).

    As on the label-As many know, there are two major canals in the area of New York & Ontario-the Erie Canal, and the lesser known Welland Canal in Ontario. What if, however, there was a third canal? Let's say that, as an alternate outcome of the War of 1812, the Americans make a few small...

  16. AHC/WI: Western European country between the Rhine and Seine.

    As it says on the label.....can you find a way to plausibly create a fairly sizeable nation between the Rhine and the Seine(that isn't Belgium)? POD can be at anytime after 1000 CE, but preferably at some point between 1600 and 1775. Bonus points are awarded if the nation's borders end before...

  17. DBWI: What if Britain had been completely conquered by the Anglo-Saxons?

    Hello there, fellow Contra-Historians. I hope you're enjoying the rest of Semayne[1], as the weekend is starting to come to a close across the Atlantic(although here in New Avalon, it's still Saturday night and folks here are popping out the Zydeco and Shuffle records, and drinking a nice warm...

  18. DBWI: No Norse culture revivals?

    Hi, folks, I was just coming back from a trip to Minnesota for the annual Viking Fest, and boy, did I have fun up there! So, anyway, having read a neat little pamphlet I brought from there, it got me thinking: what if there hadn't been a revival of Norse culture in the late 19th, early 20th...

  19. How many people can New Zealand support?

    Inspired by the similar threads on Australia and Canada, and as it says on the label. New Zealand has always seemed a tad underpopulated to me: IOTL, it doesn't even have 5 million people as of 2015. But did it have to be this way? There's a fair amount of farmland in the country, and Japan is...

  20. DBWI: If Dukakis had lost in '88.

    As a volunteer for the local Democratic Party here in north Texas, during my last meeting with fellow Hillary 2016 folks, I recently met with a guy who worked with the Dukakis campaign in 1988.....and he mentioned that the good Governor had considered going on a tank ride earlier that year, but...
