  1. What would it have taken for a pre-1940 German/Polish Jewish revolt?

    I don't know how often this is discussed, or what the general consensus is regarding the issue. I'm wondering as to what factors were lacking in regards to an early or pre-war Jewish revolt. A few factors are readily apparent. The first being that Germany's politically active Jews were still...

  2. Samurai vs. Landsknechts

    1,000 vs. 1,000, 150 mounted troops each and gunpowder use relative to each respective army's tactics circa 1550.

  3. WI Pearl Harbor put on high alert?

    Say one of the preemptive signs of attack were heeded. What would the consequences be of the Japanese attacking a battle-ready station? How long of a heads up would the Americans have needed to mount a (more) successful defense?

  4. Questions on Land Tenure and Taxation

    Right now I'm trying to get a better understanding of how property was managed throughout the pre-Industrial world. Here is a list I'm working on and was wondering if anyone knew of other forms of ownership and tribute. - Feudalism Open Land: Lands owned by liege lord assigned to families...

  5. AHC: Make the modern Russian state ethno-linguistically Uralic

    With a PoD you deem necessary, the challenge is to have modern day "Russians" (who would by no means be called Russians) predominately Uralic speakers, rather than Indo-European Slavic speakers. Ethnolinguistic "Oblasts" of Indo-European and Altaic speakers allowed ITTL.

  6. Question on logistics and artillery

    For worldbuilding purposes.. 1.What is a good percent of military manpower to divert towards procurement, allocation, communication and transport? 2. As for artillery.. My standard 75mm field gun has three gunners and a gun commander to relay commands from the observation and ballistics crew...

  7. AHC: Equalize French and British colonialism

    With any PoD after 1648, have the French and British colonial empires be of a similar size by 1900 while still being the two largest empires. What effect would this have on late 19th century balance-of-power politics?

  8. Alternate/surviving states, kingdoms and empires

    So I thought I'd make a thread to be a general discussion on alternate political entities, since I prefer discussion to reading/making timelines. List your favorites, post ones that you came up with or ask questions to get discussions going :) Some people are Byzantophiles, some people prefer...

  9. World Without Islam Maps: 1422-1603

    I'v started a few timelines before but never seem to finish them; I'v always been way more into maps. This here is probably the project I have spent the most time on. The project was to show the early colonial period of world in which Islam either never existed or was stamped out early on. The...

  10. AHC: Anglo-Alliance

    With any post-1900 PoD, he challenge is to make an official military or economic alliance with these five sovereign member states: Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and United States. The countries can still be part of an inclusive alliance like N.A.T.O., but the alliance...

  11. WWI Artillery question

    Hey guys, I need some help with weapon caliber. For my worldbuilding project I have incorporated the following artillery pieces: Aurelian Pieces 37mm Anti-armor gun 51mm Field gun 64mm Cannon 71mm Defense Gun 80mm Mortar Zoth Pieces 40mm Field gun 55mm Gear gun 75mm Zoth cannon 90mm Counter...

  12. If no Christianity...

    Would a similarly monist philosophy eventually take hold across Rome? Was Mithraism too secretive and regarded with suspicion to replace Roman paganism? Or would paganism remain across Europe indefinitely?

  13. Catholic Theocracies of Europe

    Is it possible to have Archbishops replace kings as heads of a nation, with the Pope wielding full control of the Western-European "Holy Roman Empire"? Probably ASB but It would be interesting to see any possibilities along these lines. I would imagine the coming of Islam may be one such...

  14. Hitler orders all units to Berlin

    Instead of the Ardennes Counteroffensive, what would be the consequences of Hitler ordering all remaining Wehrmacht Divisions to retreat (and as far as the Eastern Front, loot from non-Germans as they go), forming a network of entrenched defense lines in the immediate hundred miles or so of...

  15. Early modern tech disparity between European nations

    The time between the late sixteenth and early eighteenth centuries were a time of great technological innovation (I think we still exist in the scientific paradigm as established by the thinkers of this age)but the lack of fast, reliable communication and strict national patronage through...

  16. "Only lesser races fall to communism."

    This is my first post-1900 TL, it's a map series so I'v got the first decade or so done: The Great War In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt ran as an Imperialist candidate and one the election, promising to turn the Caribbean into an "American Sea". A few years later, Pancho Villa stirs up a raucous and...

  17. Preoccupied America, Central Powers Victory

    This is my first post-1900 TL idea. The P.o.D is America didn't enter WWI because we became entangled with a second war with Mexico. I know about the Zimmerman note, however I would say if our military was already fully commited to Mexico, we wouldn't want to broaden the conflict. By the time we...

  18. AHC: Have a pope burned as a heretic

    The earlier the better, bonus points if it's outside its by someone outside the catholic faith.

  19. Best PoD for a shattered USA

    When would be the best point in time to break up the U.S. into at least four countries? The countries don't all have to declare independence at once, but within 50 years of your PoD.

  20. Age of the Einherjar: A Norsewank TL

    Winter Solstice 866, 20 miles west of Gamla Uppsala Godhi Haldor Hamondsson almost always preferred to hold sacrifices outside under the heavens, but it was snowing so hard that it seemed Skadhi herself was in attendance. He chose to initiate the ritual inside the hof, but even this didn't...
