    WI : Ceaușescu's Romania develops its own nuclear weapons.

    IOTL, the Danube Program was dedicated to the development of nuclear weapons, before being scrapped with the revolution on 1989, in part thanks to Romania's large strategic and political autonomy from the Eastern Block since the 60's, dealing to develop its nuclear civilian program as well as...

    AHC/WI : Yugoslavia joins the EEC

    A pretty straightforward question : how could Yugoslavia (understood as a pre-1992 multiethnic state, although the borders or form of state do not have to remain the same as 1954's although in a similar enough shape) have joined the EEC and what would have been the consequences? Everything is...

    AHC/WI : Italy under harsher occupation and peace conditions after WWII

    IOTL, the occupation and peace terms for Italy was significantly more benign than Germany or Japan, or even comparatively to lesser partners of the Axis in Central and Eastern Europe.

    WI : Richard Lionheart dies in Cyprus

    Pretty much what is says on the tin : what would have happened if Richard I found an early demise while fighting Isaac Komnenos in 1191? How far reaching the consequences would be? At this point, I wouldn't really expect Richard's army to really fail to defeat Isaac, the conflict merely...

    Would the Tripartite Identure have been possible or viable?

    Pretty much what the title says : was there a realistic way for the Tripartite Identure to be implemented, how decisive or lasting a victory against Lancaster was even possible in the first place? I get the impression that this "gentlemen's agreement" wouldn't be that stable, either due to...

    WI : The Vivaldi brothers successfully circumnavigate Africa

    In 1291, two Genoese merchants, Vandino and Ugolino Vivaldi, set themselves to circumnavigate Africa to reach India with two galleys (which, in spite of being a later model, would have looked somewhat like this) but disappeared shortly thereafter beyond southern Morroco, altough they might have...

    AHC/WI : Communist China reduced to Soviet occupied zones.

    What would be necessary to have a *PRC equivalent pretty much limited to the territories occupied by the Soviet Army up to 1946 IOTL, i.e. Manchuria and parts of Inner Mongolia, at least as a starting territory (with the caveat additional acquisitions would be backed by Soviet military...

    AHC : Have a strong Communist Party in interwar/post-war Britain.

    A pretty much straight-forward objective : how can a strong enough Communist Party could have existed in Great-Britain during the interwar and/or immediate postwar period? Not necessarily as important and influential as were the French, German or Italian communist parties, but at least...

    Pictland doesn't become Scotland.

    By the IXth century, northernmost Britain eventually translated from a fragmented Pictish realm to a Gaelic (and still fragmented) Scotland. For the sake of the discussion, let's say that we need a Pictland to exist, that is not before Northernmost Britons form a confederation in the IIIrd...

    WI : The book of Revelation not part of the Canonic Bible

    Revelation was included only relatively late in the biblical canon in the late IVth century, after having been considered of ambiguous apostolic or inspired origin for the better part of the IIIrd and IVth century (and still was seen as such by contemporary or later Christian movements, such as...

    WI : No Carthaginian Empire

    Assuming that Carthage fails to take the leadership upon the other Punic cities on the African coast, or doing so only in a ceremonial role comparable to Sidon and Tyre over their own colonies, ending up with a series of independent city-states (possibly grouped as alliances, hegemonies, etc.)...

    AHC/WI : Britain leaves the EEC in 1975

    What could have led the 1975 referendum about Britain remaining or leaving the EEC end up with a "No" victory? Not necessarily by a wide margin, giving the historical vote went massively in favour of the Yes, but enough (maybe followed by supporting elections) to maintain Britain out of the EEC...

    Based on the various studies, proposals and prospection of war goals in French and Belgian governments or cabinets; tweaked with the idea a later or none American intervention in WW1, with a slightly longer war but with a Entente victory in two-steps (total breakeway of Austrian-Hungarian front...

    AHC/WI : Switch Lovecraft and Howard fames

    How could we end up with switching the fame and reputation of the two main pulp writers of the 30's? What if Lovecraft remained considered as a fairly secondary author (even if it means he could be "rediscovered" later) while Howard becoming a main figure of fantasy/horror (not necessarily...
