  1. Maximum Plausible Pakistan?

    So I've been wondering on this issue lately: how much territory can the state of Pakistan reasonably expand to control? I've heard all sorts of suggestions both on this forum and elsewhere from the more standard (i.e. Pakistani Kashmir and possibly neighboring Jammu) to the rather unusual (union...

  2. A Soviet Thermidor

    Perhaps nothing was so uniquely upsetting to Russia's traditional place in the European balance-of-power as aftermath of the Russian Civil War (to say the Russian Revolution is somewhat of a misnomer, as the first Russian Revolution did not install the Bolsheviks, but the short-lived provisional...

  3. Surviving Rhodesia?

    Would it ever have been possible for Rhodesia itself to have survived? Whether by South Africa loosening its restrictions on ammunition exports to the country (the ones it adopted later in response to Pretoria's feeling that Salisbury needed to come to a negotiated solution)? Would the end of...

  4. Plausibility Check: A Second Mexican-American War Circa 1917

    Is this idea possible? For a more expansive crisis in American-Mexican affairs over German support of Mexico with the government of Mexico being in general more cooperative with the Germans than it was OTL? What sort of things would be needed to facilitate this? A worse Mexican Revolution (which...

  5. AHC: More direct or indirect Russian participation in modern Afghanistan

    Okay, before the ravening hordes descend upon me with accusations of ASB I just wanted to elaborate that the situation in Afghanistan can be modified as need to be to prompt the Russian Federation to either send troops directly to Afghanistan or be more indirect (i.e. send supplies or build up a...

  6. AHC: Keep Iran under the Pahlavi Dynasty

    Hello everyone, been kicking around this idea for a while. I always thought it would be an interesting task to examine the possibilities of Iran remaining under its monarchy and even possibly maintaining its status as a modern, Western-leaning nation in the Middle East. Whether this would come...

  7. WI: A Stronger Zachary Taylor Presidency.

    Okay, while I know there is an absolute abundance of Civil War timelines I thought I just had to pose a question. What if President Zachary Taylor had been a stronger leader than OTL? What if he had not died of a stomach ailment (no Millard Fillmore, which means no Compromise of 1850). If there...

  8. WI: Iraq wins the Iran-Iraq War

    Okay before someone jumps on me for thinking that Iraq can completely overrun Iran I want to say I'm not proposing that. I just thought it would be cool to run some ideas of a scenario and such. The way I see it... what cost Iraq its advantages was the fact that Hussein severely...

  9. No Iranian Revolution in 1979

    Greetings everyone, this is a concept I've been kicking around for quite a long time and have yet to find any timelines that really cover an in-depth analysis of how not only Iran but the politics of the Middle East as a whole would be affected by the preservation of the Pahlavi Monarchy and the...
