  1. Sandinista Revolution Develops Without Having to Fight Contra

    As first suggested here. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=76368&page=3 POD is that Reagan is not elected in 1980, thus no Contras. While the POD in the thread above is that Ted Kennedy becomes pres, a similar POD is possible with most Dem presidents and some Repub...

  2. WI GWB Intervened in Darfur

    A student asked me why Bush didn't intervene there as pres. I answered the logistics of it just weren't practical and the US was far too tied up in two other wars, but couldn't give much more specifics. But hypothetically, if he had decided to (since practical considerations weren't a hallmark...

  3. AH Challenge: The Chinese Emperor Most Likely to Colonize the Americas

    Need to hear esp from ancient China history enthusiasts. Which emperors would be most likely to try to colonize the Americas? What do we know about the potential for colonizing attitudes of Chinese emperors from the time periods when China is alleged to have sent expeditions that could have...

  4. AH Challenge: A British Hawaii Much Like Singapore

    This thought occurred to me. What would it take to see a Hawaii that the British colonize before America gets to it, and then have an outcome making it much like the Singapore of today? Obvously there are some differences. Hawaii is not on central shipping routes like Singapore. But it is...

  5. Amazonian High Civilizations Survive Into Modern Times

    Pretty interesting discovery, that just like the southwestern deserts there were high civlizations where many people said there couldn't be. How could they survive into the 16th century at least, preferably as long as possible? PDF plus article...

  6. Zimmerman Telegram is sent to CSA, not Mexico

    Suggested in another thread a few weeks ago. Sorry that I don't remember by who. POD is that a CSA survives to the time of the First World War. The famous telegram is sent to the govt of the CSA rather than Mexico's. The offer is that Germany will see that the CSA received West Virginia...

  7. AH Challenge: Comarcas in Latin America

    In most of Latin America, there are few territories that are roughly equivalent to the Indian reservations in the US and the reserves in Canada. In Panama you have the comarca system of autonomous small regions. http://www.abpanama.com/panama-locations/comarca-panama.php With a POD of post...

  8. AH Challenge: Socialist Texas

    Suggested here. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=132297 A little background. http://www.labordallas.org/hist/reds.htm The idea is to see how possible it might for socialists (not necessarily party members or running under that party's banner) to be as influential...

  9. Fate of Other Minorities Under a CSA Victory: Flight or Assimilation

    This has come up a few times in recent weeks, and Turtledove's extremely romanticized view of the CSA clouds the issue. And the CSA's temporary pragmatism in seeking treaties with the Five Tribes shouldn't be assumed to be the norm. There's no reason they won't break any treaties the first...

  10. POD: Anti Imperialist League Convinces Pres. McKinley to Give Up New Colonies

    I realize the POD may be in 1899 or 1900, but its effects nearly all happen post 1900. The Anti Imperialist League had the support of much of the US public for its goals. Problem was , they were led by extremely elderly former Abolitionists. But its membership also included the likes of Mark...

  11. WI No Bering Strait Icing Over

    Hello, new member here. Only my second post, though I've been enjoying the past week reading the forum. Like my nick says, I write history and althistory, though aimed closer at using althistory to understand IRL history, both through writing it and using it in teaching. No alien space bats...
