  1. Michael Jackson stayed black??

    It's never lupus!
  2. DBWI: Terrorists Attack the USSA!

    People's Journal of New York (27 February 1993) The World Trade Center, world-renown symbol of the power and influence of the United Socialist States of America, was attacked yesterday by terrorists. Residents of New York City watched in horror as the North Tower of the WTC was knocked into the...
  3. WI USA "Loses" the Cold War

    By "lose" I didn't mean that the US turns communist or the Soviet Union survives until the present day. What I meant is that I'm interested in seeing what would happen if much of what the US got its hands into throughout the Cold War turns nasty for them. Vietnam, Korea, the Middle East, what...
  4. WI USA "Loses" the Cold War

    AFAIK it'd be very unlikely for the US to lose the Cold War either by economic or governmental means. However, there were several instances throughout the Cold War that could have gone either way in my book. I'm interested in seeing how people think the world would look like if the US had not...
  5. Geneva Accords Denounced 1935 wmds for ww2

    AFAIK they did for a portion of time at the end of WWII, but the Allies pretty quickly caught up to them in production.
  6. AH Challenge: Make Leclerc the AH DeGaulle

    In OTL, DeGaulle is often the most remembered and most celebrated French general of WWII. However, Philippe Leclerc commanded French forces in Africa and, after D-Day, in Europe, and AFAIK seen as a very good commander. Is there a way to make Leclerc as politically and militarily successful as...
  7. AH Challenge: Drag WWI Out

    I'm interested in seeing how long WWI could go on--feasibly, of course. The war must start as it did OTL, but after that most anything is fair game except ASBs. Bonus points for intelligently adding new countries or new campaigns to the conflict.
  8. Americas Beseiged

    Unlike OTL, the United States is slow out of the gate in the first few years of the Cold War and there is no Marshall Plan or Berlin Airlift. In short, America pushes itself back into isolationism until much later. By the time the US enters world affairs, President Adlai Stevenson finds a world...
  9. AH Challenge: Morgenthau Plan

    I'm sure that this has been picked up as ASB a few times before, but I'm interested in what the Morgenthau Plan would have looked like if it had happened. What would the long-term effects be, etc.?
  10. Georgia 2008- USS McFAUL targeted

    To make my point clear, I think this is ASB since Medvedev and Putin aren't dumb enough to gift wrap such a clear cassus belli for the United States and NATO. But, for argument's sake, let's say it's an accident. Firstly, the Arleigh Burke class are built around the Aegis system so the McFaul...
  11. AH Challenge:Chadian-Sudanese War Goes Hot

    Chad and Sudan have been involved in a tit-for-tat war for a few years now, I think. How could we get that war to explode beyond what it is right now? The bigger the better, maybe, perhaps with France deploying a significant military presence into the area and getting dragged into a quagmire.
  12. WI George Washington Was Killed?

    WI George Washington was killed, perhaps in combat, during the Revolutionary War? Assuming that his death was late enough in the war to not damage the Americans' hopes too badly, who becomes the first POTUS? Does Washington's legacy of Presidential humility disappear?
  13. WI Truman Assassinated

    WI Torresola and Collazo, two Puerto Rican nationalists who attempted to assassinate Truman in 1950, had succeeded?
  14. WI Japan Surrenders After Famine

    Dude, that's not even what the TL is supposed to be about.
  15. WWII: U.S. decides to proceed with Japanese invasion

    Amen to that. Even if we merely think in personal terms, that's 20,000 more men not returning to their homes than they did OTL. What sort of butterflies would that have? Who knows, maybe a future father was killed, thereby wiping out a future Vietnam War officer who ends up saving hundreds of...
  16. WI Japan Surrenders After Famine

    Using the other Japanese WWII thread as a jumping off point, let's posit that for whatever reason, the American atomic bomb doesn't work as planned or Japan decides to keep fighting. An initial attempt at invasion is hampered by a typhoon, leaving the US to wait the Japanese out. The naval and...
  17. SPETSNAZ covert raids into Pakistan during Afghan War

    Any Spetsnaz unit, and the USSR as a whole, would have to have lost their whole case of marbles to kidnap or kill a sitting US Congressman. By the time the Russo-Afghani War was in full swing, both superpowers were well-familiar with the concept of the Cold War and knew the "rules." Under any...
  18. The shotgun reprisals- WWI

    Yes, the US military as well as many other militaries across the world use shotguns. They definitely have their uses in close-quarters battle situations, such as urban locations, trenches, and the like. They're also more adaptable than many assault rifles, with their capability of loading...
  19. WI No Black Hawk Down

    Somalia, and the events surrounding it and the USA during the early 1990s, are often used as a prime example why Americans were often hesitant about getting down and dirty around the world at least until September 11. How would have history have changed if there was no "Black Hawk Down"...
  20. WWI Dunkirk

    WI the Germans were able to inflict enough damage on the Allied armies in the opening months of WWI--perhaps through a devastating victory or two--that the British would feel it necessary to evacuate the BEF, a la Dunkirk in WWII? The British are still in the war, but have evacuated France due...
