    Man in the High Castle-style US Invasion repelled. What happens next?

    This is based on a discussion over on discord with @pattontank12. The premise is that the Axis are able to secure total victory in the old world as in Man in the High Castle. However, while Man in the High Castle had the US falling to the combined might of the Axis powers, this scenario imagines...

    WI Eisenhower stays in military and oversees the Korean War

    Exactly what it says on the tin. What if Dwight D Eisenhower, rather than go into politics, opted to remain a general and then somehow ended up in MacArthur's place during the Korean War (maybe Douglas goes into politics early) My guess is that he handles the situation better than MacArthur...

    AHC Make Communism collapse in East Asia at the same time as Eastern Europe in the late 80s/1990s

    I suppose it would be more accurate to title this "Make the PRC and DPRK collapse at the same time as the Eastern Bloc" but this is easier to make into a shorter title. Basically what it says on the thread: The challenge is to find a way to make the Communist countries (or at least, countries...

    AHC: Make Japan surrender before Germany

    Exactly what it says on the tin, how can you make Japan surrender before the Third Reich? Furthermore, what would the effects of this be?

    What if the Vietnam War never happened?

    To be specific, this should be called "What if the Second Indochina War never happened" but most people know it as the Vietnam War. Basically what the title says, but to make this interesting, I have two scenarios in mind: 1. The Referendum is successful overwhelmingly (and legitimately, as...

    WI Reagan re-elected until death in a world with no 22nd Amendment

    My views on the man aside, Reagan was a very popular president in his time, and I've seen it be said on this board that if there was no 22nd amendment, it's very possible that Reagan would've stayed in office for a very long time. So I wanted to posit the question: What would the 90s and early...

    Harry Turtledoves "Hot War" trilogy seven years later

    So about seven years ago, Turtledove started writing the "Hot War" trilogy. The premise was that MacArthur got his way and used his nuclear weapons on the Chinese-Korean border, sparking off WW3. Now I haven't read the books since they first came out, and even then I have yet to read the final...

    North and South Korea reunify under Seoul at the end of the Cold War

    Let's say that, at the end of the cold war (to be more specific, sometime between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the USSR, maybe Kim il Sung's death at latest), North and South Korea manage to reunify under the Southern government. What would make this possible? What kind of effects...

    AHC: US Civil War in 1981

    What POD or changes could be made (post 1900 of course) that could lead to a Second American Civil War breaking out in 1981?

    North Korea without the Kims

    Basic POD is that the Soviets put someone else other than Kim in charge of North Korea. What other options are there and how would their leadership affect the development of North Korea compared to OTL?

    Russia in a world with no World Wars

    A little while ago, I made a thread about culture in a world with no World Wars, but some of the discussion there made me want to talk about Russia in particular, and beyond just culture. After seeing folks like WIAH and plenty of other Anti-communists talk about how well off Russia would be...

    Culture of a world where WW1 was averted

    Sort of a sequel to my "Military tech in a no WW1 world thread," but this time talking about culture in a world without WW1? What direction would culture, such as art and film go in? How would European film industries develop without WW1 to stunt them? What of Russian media and culture without...

    AHC Make the US invade North Korea in place of Iraq in 2003

    What kind of PODs or changes would have to take place to make it so the Bush Administration decides to invade North Korea rather than Iraq in the year 2003?

    AHC prevent the Second World War

    Exactly what it says on the tin. To specify, the First World War still happens, but the cutoff date for the challenge is 1918 before the Treaty of Versailles. How do you prevent another war from breaking out, and thus letting the War to end all wars live up to it's title?

    Culture of an America that never joined WW2

    Fairly straightforward: What would Ameican culture be like in an alternate America that never joined WW2. Let's go with two scenarios: 1. The Axis win and secure Europe and Asia, but the new world remains free. 2. Britain and the USSR still manage to defeat the Axis, but have a harder time.

    Most plausible WW2 stalemate scenario?

    Not asking for an existing timeline, but rather what turn of events (non-ASB) would be the most likely to lead to a stalemate or armistice between the Axis Powers and the Allies of WW2 and when?

    Man in the High Castle Sans Heussman

    Based on the TV show not the book. Basically, how would things play out if Heussman didn't exist to engage his plot? Hitler would probably be alive for at least a year or two longer, which would be about the length of the remainder of the series, which begs the question of how MitHC Hitler...

    AHC Make North Korea fall with the death of Kim Il Sung

    What kind of POD or changes would be necessary for the DPRK regime to (begin to) fall or reform rather than continue down the OTL route upon the death of Dear Leader Kim Il Sung? What effects would this have on the 21st century?

    WI Bring the Jubilee TV Series?

    While I was browsing Wikipedia, I read that one of Philip K Dick's main inspirations for his novel Man in the High Castle was Ward Moore's Bring the Jubilee. In some ways, they aren't really that different, both are a classic take on a popular WI scenario leading to a world on the brink of war...

    Communism without Stalin

    Seeing how Stalin seems to have become the face of communism amongst average Americans, my question is what direction would Communism go down if Stalin never came to power? This isn't just referring to the USSR, but Communist movements across the world. How would, say, Chinese Communism be...
