  1. Turkey and Greece without the population exchanges?

    Suppose the 1923 forced population exchanges between Greece and Turkey don't happen how different would these countries be today?
  2. This world post WWI?

    So I was editing a map and thinking about this world. This is June 2, 1921 there's a full blown civil war in North America based out of Winnapeg its still firmly in control of much of the industrial heartlands. To the south Mexico has been rulled by American communist revolutionaries since...
  3. Effects of a larger Virginia?

    The original borders for what became West Virginia, the proposed state of Kanawaha (they should have kept the name I think) anyway it was a bit smaller than the state of West Virginia. Suppose this had become a state with these borders, an event like this would have still changed the...
  4. What if Newfoundland joined the US?

    In 1948 there was a movement in Newfoundland, there was some oposition but this movement alarmed the British and Canadians into a union with Canada. Suppose though Newfoundland became a US state insted?
  5. Prop 19 passes

    Suppose in November of 2010 the numbers were reversed and 53% of Californians vote yes on the measure, California becomes the first state to legalize cannabis... I'm not sure how selling it would go but I suppose by now it might be sold in head shops in the state. Some counties would...
  6. Deseret Alphabet survives.

    The Deseret alphabet was is a phonetic alphabet that was created during the late 19th century. It was created by the LDS and intended to replace Latin form script within their community, now suppose that this form of writing took hold in the LDS community, and within the state of Utah. Within...
  7. Bill Clinton 08

    I wrote this some time ago and found it recently when clearing through old files. I thought it was kinda interesting. Four more years... Echoing the chants they did in 96 the crowds cheered the president elect addressed the crowd. In 1996 Colin Powell was elected president of the...
  8. A map I found.

    Apparently I'd been working on this and forgot about it, Europe is well done while Asia is could use some TLC. In all not bad, I assume some sort of three way cold war following their analog of WWII, though I suppose they might have another name for it.
  9. Misconsodian

    I was thinking about an alternate universe where both the United States and the USSR fall at the end of the cold war. I'm not really sure how to pull that off though... Maybe a very mild WWIII with light nuclear exchange during the 1982, this could be achieved by mistake. There was an event...
  10. An alternate US west

    I'm not really sure how this would come about. I was just sitting with paintbrush when I came up with this map. I've only labeled Texas has been divided into three states.* North Texas, South Texas, and part of the state was merged into Oklahoma following the creation of the state...
  11. Australian Saber Tooth cat surivives.

    Australia was without a catlike analog when the Europeans arrived, probably even long before the first humans came, or maybe because of them. So for this we'll imagine that for whatever reason they survive. And there are many species of them some of them are as large as a cougar and others as...
  12. 1981 Reagan assassination?

    It wouldn't have taken much, just a slightly better shot. On Monday, March 30, 1981 just sixty nine days into the Regan presidency John Hinckley Jr. shot then president Ronald Regan. In OTL he punctured a lung. Suppose though Hinckley's shot went through the heart of President Reagan...
  13. República de Texas

    An alternate independent Republic of Texas, that in its current state from the amalgamation of The Republic of Texas and the Republic of Rio Grande. In 1836 the Republic of Texas gained a shaky independence from Mexico, in less than a century Texas had grown from an unstable frontier state to...
  14. War declared on Germany and the USSR-1939

    France and the UK declared war on Germany for invading Poland but said nothing about the Soviet invasion, mostly out of not wanting to provoke them. suppose then that allied leaders had bigger stones... War is declared on both Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939.
  15. Mississippi in your timelines

    So I wasn't going to but seeing how many people have done their home states. I'd like to know what happens to mine.
  16. President Hillary Clinton?

    Supposing that Hillary Clinton did just a little bit better in the primaries, and was elected last November? It'd be almost eleven months into her term, I'm sure things would'nt be the same. I have some doubt that she'd have made Obama the VP, but I'm sure he'd get a cabinet position. Gay...
  17. Divided Albania

    What if following the Balkan War Serbia, Montenegro, and Greece divided Albania? I've created a ruff map based upon guesses of what might be an agreeable compromise. (although not for the Albanians) I've given Bulgaria a greater share of territory, it seems fair in that although now...
  18. Mexico with legal Cannabis

    In 2006 the Mexican congress passed a bill that would have decriminalizing possession of small amounts of cannabis intended for recreational use, which would have caused a boom in tourism. President Fox never signed the bill. What if he had? In 2008 a bill was proposed in Mexico City's...
  19. That 80's show.

    The show opens much the same way at first glace a vistor from otl might not notice until the song 38 special song "Hold on Loosely" comes on in the car we can see the cast in clothing from the start of the 80's. The show that we know of as that 70's show is rather set in the early 1980's...
  20. A world without the microchip?

    Geoffrey W.A. Dummer could have been the father of the modern world he unsuccessfully attempted to build the integrated circuit in 1956. So he wasn't a success, it's possible there could have been more. After years of constantly being unsuccessful he gives up. How world 2009 look...
