    Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

    A really good idea; am I right in saying that the list is an analogue of events from OTL 1886? Also, would you be able to give a summary of how events unfold during this period?

    The Thirty-Third HoS Challenge

    Another excellent list. I really like the reference to a post-war consensus drastically different to our own, but how exactly did things in Britain get to this stage? Is it just the author hyperbolising for his American audience?

    The Thirty-First HoS Challenge

    An absolutely fantastic list and a fascinating scenario with lots to unpack. Why did they do this? How did Teller pull this off? I assume that the "Galaxy Gun" is Project Excalibur in OTL, does the "full thing" refer to Brilliant Pebbles?

    Political and cultural figures who could've had lives/careers in different countries

    After the Parliament Act passed Balfour was entirely exhausted and everyone could see that he was finished as a leader; I think it's almost impossible for him to make a comeback in this scenario, especially so soon after his fall. Long and Selborne are definitely viable options though; how about...

    Marxist-Leninist End of History: How would that look like?

    Can Russia and China be categorised as neoliberal states in the same way that the U.S.A., Britain and France can?

    Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

    A very interesting scenario. Do you have any lore for this list?

    Overdone tropes you actually enjoy?

    Does anyone know of timelines where these tropes are done well? To be fair, I hadn't heard of it being done in a timeline before I did it in Decades of Discontent*. *Which absolutely will be resumed, eventually.

    Alternate History General Discussion

    Does this rule out all of the major terrorist groups of the period, or do you think a group (either out of desperation as a sort of last stand or just one with sufficiently deranged leaders) could make an attempt in this period? Alternatively, is it possible that something of this magnitude...

    Alternate History General Discussion

    Which groups do you think were most likely to attempt such an attack in the 60s, and what do you think the effect would have been?

    WI: Napoleon crushed in Russia?

    The French invasion of Russia is largely cited as a disaster that marked the beginning of the end for Napoleon. However, it was largely disease and the Russian weather that decimated Napoleon's forces as opposed to military defeat, would not be until the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 and the...

    AHC: Puerto Rican Independence War

    Is there any way for the Nationalists to see more success and escalate the conflict? Could a more successful San Juan revolt be the first step towards a Nationalist victory? Or maybe changes to American or global politics result in the US handling the situation in Puerto Rico significantly worse...

    AHC: Puerto Rican Independence War

    With a POD anytime after the founding of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party in 1922, is there any way to see the outbreak of a war for independence on the island? If so, how could this come about? Is there any chance of Nationalist success if such a war broke out or would the U.S. Army crush it...

    Alternate 1844 Presidential Election

    Let's say that Silas Wright is somehow convinced to allow himself to be put forward as a compromise candidate during the 1844 DNC and as a result he becomes the Democratic nominee rather than James K. Polk. Would Polk be chosen for the VP nomination or someone else? Would a Wright/Polk ticket...
