  1. PC: Second American Civil War?

    Was there any chance that a Second American Civil War could've erupted during the Civil Rights Movement from the 1950s to the 1960s? There was definitely some political factionalism, particularly in the Democratic Party in regards to the Dixiecrats ardently opposed to desegregation. I think...

  2. WI: Al-Qaeda never existed

    I know there's been a few scenarios regarding how things would've been if 9/11 never happened, but I'm curious as to how things would've played out for the U.S. and the Middle East if Al-Qaeda itself never even existed. Suppose Osama bin-Laden and the other cofounders were all killed by Soviet...

  3. PC: China as Soviet ally?

    As part of a possible TL, is there any ANY way that China can somehow cozy-up to the USSR, specifically after a POD in 1982 where an alternate Soviet leader succeeds Brezhnev? Also on that subject, how would a coventional war between NATO and WP turn out if China joined on WP side? I'd imagine...

  4. AHC: Prolong the Soviet Union?

    I'm currently working on a TL that takes place in the late 1980s and I need some help and insight for it. Most threads I've read say there's no way the USSR could've survived unless Stalin is somehow outta the picture, otherwise post-WWII there's no chance. My TL dilemma is not about surviving...

  5. Can the Soviets win in Afghanistan?

    As it says on the tin, is there any way they can truly defeat or at least seriously cripple the Mujahideen to secure all or most of Afghanistan? What kind of military and/or political moves could they make to accomplish this? Could chemical weapons or utilization of the KHAD work? Or perhaps...

  6. AHC: Soviet-friendly Yugoslavia

    My challenge for you, is to make Yugoslavia warm back up with the Soviet Union, including joining the Warsaw Pact. My POD would be following the death of Josip Broz Tito on May 4th, 1980. You can make this happen in any way you like, so long as it plausible.

  7. What would YOU do after Brezhnev's death?

    This is semi AHC/personal opinion thread. My question is what would you do personally if you tookover as General Secretary of the Soviet Union after Brezhnev's death in November, 1982? How would you keep the Soviet Union intact and elminate (or try) the stagnant economy?

  8. WI: COSVN destroyed during Vietnam War

    During Operation Junction City from February-May, 1967, U.S. forces had attempted to capture or destroy COSVN, the military and political headquarters for all NVA/VC forces operating in southern South Vietnam. It was reputed to have been located in Tay Ninh Province right next to the Cambodian...

  9. How could the Bulge have worked?

    Hitler attempted to redo the successful armored advance through the Ardennes Forest in December, 1944 as he had done so in 1940. The biggest reasons it didn't work were: Winter, poor-quality troops, Allied air superiority, and bad strategy. My question is how could the Bulge have worked and if...

  10. AHC: Most Soviet-friendly Chinese leader after Mao.

    Is there any possible Chinese leader who could've taken power after Mao's death who would've instituted economic reforms like Deng, but would've been more friendly and cooperative with the Soviet Union? This also means a continual hostility towards the U.S. and Western countries. My challenge...

  11. Ebola outbreak in Virginia?

    What if the reston ebola strain that was imported through monkeys to the Hazleton Lab in 1989 at Reston, Virginia, was in fact, pathogenic to Humans and the staff at the laboratory became infected? Would it have spread before people became aware? Any quarantines? How would the goverment have...

  12. WI: IRA Bombs Indiscriminately

    After the start of The Troubles in Ireland, 1969, the Provisional IRA was known to give warnings only minutes ahead of bombings allowing for evacuation in time and reduction of casualties. My question is what if they didn't give warnings and killed indiscriminately in order to take a more...

  13. WI: Montreal Protocol never made?

    What if the Montreal Protocol that banned chlorofluorocarbon compounds from being produced, was never made in 1987, thus allowing more CFCs to be put into the troposphere and causing an increased rate of ozone depletion? How big would the ozone holes be now? What effect would the UV rays have on...

  14. WI:Pristina Airport incident escalates?

    What if during the Pristina Airport standoff in 1999, between NATO forces and Russian Kosovo forces escalated into a firefight? Would World War III have started? Would there be a peace talk?

  15. Earliest aircraft carrier

    Ok, I've heard of the earliest instance of aircraft carrier being the HMS Pallas in 1806 carrying kites. But exactly how early could've the Royal Navy or even the U.S. Navy developed a ship to carry gliders, balloons, or kites for use in warfare? Could balloons or gliders have been used for...

  16. How far could Italy have gone in WWII?

    I know this question has been brought up about Japan in the Pacific War, but exactly how far could Italy go of conquering Africa in World War II? This is assuming Rommel wins El Alamein, what areas of Africa could Italy conquer if they had held out against the British when they attacked Sudan...

  17. WI: Japanese discover Manhattan Project

    I know it seems far fetched, but what if by some lucky encounter, Japanese spies in the U.S. discover information about the Manhattan Project? Would it be possible Japan would launch a seaplane raid against the Hanford Site in Washington? Possible attempts at sabotage? Leak information to the...

  18. WWII:Extent of German atomic bomb project

    Exactly how far could the Germans have gone with their atomic bomb project? Could they have developed one before their surrender? Nuke any major cities? Did Hitler have a strategy for nuclear weaponry?

  19. WI: Mussolini not arrested in 1943

    What if Mussolini had instead maintained his popular status among the fascists in Italy, and wasn't arrested and thrown from power in 1943?

  20. WWII:Japanese invade Hawaii

    What if the Japanese had won the naval battles at Coral Sea and Midway and without any threat of American carriers, invaded the territory of the Hawaiian Islands? Maybe even the West Coast?
