  1. How does Spain develop without an Arabic conquest?

    Just something of a minor idea I've been pondering over thanks to my Spanish culture class. What would a Spain without an Arab invasion and conquest develop like? Personally, what little I've been able to dig up on Visigothic Spain leaves me with an impression that Spain under them was more...

  2. If Henry VIII doesn't split from Rome, how does Britain develop?

    So, there have been more than a few TL's and maps where Henry the Eighth gets that son he wants or the annulment and doesn't declare a Church of England. But I've never seen a detailed account of the differences this frankly huge POD causes. Often it seems like people assume an England very...

  3. AH Challenge: Fail, Britannia!

    We have far too many Britwank TL's on this forum, and even many that don't still give the British Empire huge swathes of the world. And of course, a distressing number of posters think the British Empire was saintly and did nothing but good and violently attack those who disagree. It's not only...

  4. TL Planning Thread - Land of the Just (AKA White Eyes Survives)

    Alright, here we go, a planning thread for Jord's first attempt at a TL. So, the POD is the survival of Chief White Eyes of the Lenape(Delaware) tribe in 1778. White Eyes was the first Native American leader to sign a treaty with the US, promising an alliance and possible confederation with...

  5. Heartless America: Midwest Secession(Planning/Proposal Thread)

    Now, everybody knows by now that Jord is an ardent Midwest regionalist, so I won't waste time telling you all that. I've been thinking recently about how every single region in the US can(and has) been given a TL where it secedes from the US except for the Midwest. Naturally, I find this a...

  6. Napoleon Bonaparte, General of...the Holy Roman Empire?!

    This is an AH Challenge that's been bouncing around my head for a while. We've seen Napoleon working for numerous nations in numerous TL's. From Italy, to France, to Britain but there's one area where I've never seen him in, except as a foreign conqueror: the Germanies. The challenge is this...

  7. WI Islamic Protestant Reformation?

    I'm just wondering if there's a possible way to make Islam have a similarly expansive and influential Reformation movement at some point in history. As I know nothing about that particular area of history I turn the question to you all. So, what could cause such a schism? Where would the...

  8. Medieval America Co-op Project

    Alright, so thanks to this thread I wanted to see if AH.com could do a good co-op project fleshing out the unfinished world described by Matthew White here. Some helpful ideas from another person about this universe can be located on there blog here. The basic premise is that through some...

  9. Challenge: Balkanize China

    I've recently gotten annoyed with the massive amount of TL's where China is either destined to become one massive country, or at worst divided into two-four really big countries(communist north, Xianjang, Tibet, capitalist south are the main variations without dynastic differences) despite their...

  10. Challenge:Three Eagles alliance

    The challenge is to create a treaty of alliance between Russia, the USA, and Germany by the early 1900's. My idea is the cliche "confederacy wins with british and french help" scenario, but the US goes out of its way to be friendly with europe's only pro-union power:Russia. Eventually, you get...

  11. And All of Us Against the Stranger...

    Excrept from: The Sons of Abraham United - A History of the Mongol Invasion of the Holy Lands ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The medieval years were not a time of peace in the holy land. Indeed, one could probably argue that between the constant crusades...

  12. Challenge: Celtic Survival

    The challenge is to keep at least Scotland and Ireland seperate and independant from England. How could such a thing come about? Bonus points for Welsh independance as well. My personal suggestion is have the English Civil War be a less clear cut affair, but more geographically divisive...

  13. A different Marburg Colloquy

    In 1529, after the Diet of Worms and Speyer a meeting was organized between the main protestant leaders of the time, Huldrych Zwingli and Martin Luther. The goal of the Marburg Colloquy was to form a rapport between the two leaders and strengthen a sense of religious unity among protestants for...
