  1. In the Name of Rome or, Britannicus Lives!

    In the Name of Rome or, Britannicus Lives! TLIAY I'm slightly intoxicated, so I decided to bite the bullet and begin posting this timeline which I have been working on since December. To mix things up, I'll make it a TLIAY - Time Line In A Year. I have 365 days to finish this TL. By the 5th...

  2. WI: Lanzerac Encircled, Fifth Army Destroyed; Next?

    If the French Fifth Army had been encircled and destroyed in August 1914, what would happen next. What should the Germans do to exploit this opportunity? IIRC, some of the BEF will be exposed, if they can be destroyed too, how will this affect the rest of the Frontiers?

  3. WI: Claudius Killed?

    After Caligula was assassinated, elements of his guard began killing indiscriminately. Claudius, as the story goes, was found hiding behind a curtain by some Praetorians and they declared him emperor. But what if Claudius had been killed somehow? Who would be next in line? And what are the...

  4. AHC: Keep Rome Out of Greece

    With any POD during or immediately preceding before the Second Punic War, permanently keep the Roman Republic from controlling any territory in Greece (except for what they already owned) while also having them "win" the Second Punic War.

  5. WI: William the Conqueror Can't Bribe Sweyn?

    In 1069, Sweyn II supported Edgar Ætheling in his claim for the English throne. A Danish army captured York, but the Normans bribed the Danish to abandon Edgar. WI Sweyn, for whatever reason, refuses the bribe and the Danish army defeats the Normans in a battle around York in the same year...

  6. When Was The Latest Point The Byzantines Could Be Saved?

    When is the latest point in time in which the Byzantines could continue as a large, powerful, sovereign state, including Constantinople and much of Greece, yet not a puppet to the Turks? Anytime after the fourth crusade? After 1300? I imagine after 1400 their fate is pretty much sealed?

  7. Treaty of London (1839 or 1867) Violated in 1870

    If, at some point during the Franco-Prussian War, either the first or the second Treaty of London has been violated by either the French or the Prussians, how would the other signatories react to either scenario? I'm mainly thinking of Russia, Austria and the UK here...

  8. AHC: Fascism Considered a Serious Ideology

    The challenge is to have fascism (or a similar, related ideology, such as national socialism, falangism, integralism etc.) be considered a real "third way" in the 21st century, using a POD no later than 1920, which doesn't involve WWII in a significant way (read: Nazi Victory). It should be...

  9. Create your own Royal Navy

    Inspired by the Create your own Luftwaffe thread. Okay, so in 1930, you get control of the Royal Navy, you can chose and create the ships, deployments, commanders, everything. From the number of BBs, right down to the size of the guns. You only have your current knowledge of shipbuilding and...

  10. Spain in the Axis, Turkey in the Allies: A Help or Hindrance?

    If Spain were to join the axis in, say October 1940, would they be more of a help or a hindrance to the axis? Would the advantages of attacking Gibraltar outweigh the disadvantages of the country being devastated and having a 2nd rate (though experienced I suppose) military? And if Turkey were...

  11. AHC: UN at War After Korea

    In June 1950, the UNSC (sans the Soviets) published Resolution 83 which advised member states to provide military assistance to South Korea Have the UN "go to war" like it did during the Korean War with a POD after 1953. The Resolution which "declares war" does not have to be in keeping with...

  12. WI: The New Territories Permanently Ceded

    At the end of the First Opium War China permanently ceded Hong Kong to the UK. At the end of the Second war, Kowloon was added to that, and in 1898, the New Territories were leased to the UK for 99 years. When 1997 rolled along (99 years since the lease was arranged) Britain ceded the whole lot...

  13. AHC: Keep Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia German

    With a POD after 1943, make those three regions part of Germany today. They don't have to be German continuously, but make it so by the year 2000.

  14. AHC&WI: Japan Wins at Guadalcanal

    The Guadalcanal Campaign was pretty important for the war effort, it was the first American offensive of the war. Your challenge, with a POD no earlier than 1942, is to have the Japanese win the battle and then, if you wish, explore the effects of the victory on the of the Pacific theater.

  15. WI: D-Day Landings Fail?

    Maybe Hitler releases the panzers earlier, maybe Germany isn't decieved by the Allies, it doesn't matter why they fail. The landings fail, thousands of troops are killed and the Allies are forced back to Britain with at least 40% casualties. How will the war's outcome be affected if the D-Day...

  16. Failure of Sealion

    Okay, lets assume that Nazi Gemrnay goes ahead with Sealion in 1940/41 (perhaps before Barbarossa) and it fails spectacularly. The Royal Navy blows the German ships out of the water, those that reach land are easily mopped up by British troops and the Luftwaffe forces which took part are wiped...

  17. WI: Franz wasn't assassinated?

    What happens to Austria-Hungary if Archduke Franz Ferdinand wasn't assassinated in 1914? Specifically, the driver doesn't take a wrong turn and Princip wallows in his failure. He and the rest of the assassins are still caught and dealt with, however and A-H does not deliver an ultimatum to...

  18. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle post-1066

    The two armies faced each other on the overcast October morning, suddenly and unexpectedly small droplets of water began falling from the sky. A phenomenon common in Great Britain in the autumn. As the droplets began to increase in size and the rain fell more heavily, Duke William jokingly...

  19. WI: No German Intervention in Greece?

    What if Hitler had not ordered a German intervention during the Greo-Italian War? How would this have affected the overall course of WW2? How would Operation Barbarossa have played out? Would the British still involve themselves? Would the war stay in a stalemate or would the Greeks eventually...

  20. WI Alexander III of Scotland lived?

    In 1286 Alexander III was traveling from Edinburgh Castle to Fife in order to visit his Queen (against the advice of his advisers (seriously, why does nobody take the advice of the people whose job it is to give advice?)), weather conditions were treacherous his horse lost it's footing in the...
