united states

Title says it all. I think it's pretty common to see America wanks in the alternate history community or just timelines in general where America has better standing. These might be timelines where standard of living/quality of life is better, America has better relations with other nations, or...

Even though America is very religious countries with Protestant and Christianity (Even though it wasn't founded official under it officially) it is pretty interesting that a "Church of America" has never come to existence. The closest we probably have gotten to our timeline was the United Church...

This question was inspired by the PCI in Italy where it was constantly the second-largest party in the country and all the other parties would sometimes enter grand coalitions solely to prevent the PCI from taking power. What I was wondering was, with a POD that still results in a Cold War of...

The US treatment of native Americans has been less than satisfactory, if not straight up genocidal. To this day, most of the remaining native Americans have to live in reservations with subpar living standards. Atrocities against natives will certainly happen due to colonization and white...

Following a similar line to "Alt-History Aftermath Scenarios Implied by Media" I dont think powerscaling is really very popular in this fandom beyond discussions on stuff like "why Nazi Germany lost" but I've got a bit interested on this topic lately As most of you are aware, Hollywood movies...

The Challenge: with a POD no later than 1867, have the CSA win the American Civil War (through any means you want) and no later than 1939, have the CSA and USA be allies. I'm not talking about a superficial alliance; the challenge is to create a legitimate, strong alliance between the two...

As the title states, your challenge is to have the US of A go to war with as many countries throughout its history as possible (win or lose doesn't matter so long as it is at least somewhat realistic) Here is my go at at it; (Any countries that would have been at war multiple times will only be...

as far as I know, there was a chance for California to secede during the war and Oregon apparently had an independence movement too- how much can the US unravel during the ACW?

(This question is more focused on the Anglosphere generally, but insight on other places would be welcome too.) Basically, I've seen some TLs where neoliberalism remains a fringe ideology, or is blunted significantly. What I was interested was in the opposite: Could it have been possible to...

IOTL the current Black Population in the US is about 13% and still for more or less is contained in the South. What would have to change for the Black population for it to not only grow but for it to almost completely stay in the South? How would this affect American History culture and Black...

Most Alt-history narratives explore the scenario of Mexico remaining a vast "empire", potentially rivaling the United States in power. This speculation is cool indeed, but here I would like to think about a smaller Mexican State. At the time of its independence, Mexico was indeed enormous, and...

Okay fine, clickbait title, I know. (This is more about the developing world than taking down the Soviets.) But more specifically, what I'm asking about is the plausibility of a strategy where the US cuts back on the military interventions and coups in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and...

(So, I'm trying to come up with an idea for a concept for a private project of mine, inspired by @Ambassador Huntsman's timeline amazing Nobunaga's Ambition Timeline (Go read it if you haven't), but not using the Gavin Menzies' 1421 idea; I want late East Asian colonization, where Japan...

I have found that my question didn’t have enough context to work with so until me and the boys(the community) figure this out, we are discussing different TLs and possible new TLs. Original text: After all my research I’ve done it seems a bit of a stretch that a war could break out. But let’s...

I'm curious on what this site can offer in regards to this region of the United States of America. For instance, I heard on a Cine Capri documentary that the Star Wars fandom in Arizona alone was so enthusiastic, the prequels were made because of them, starting a huge action science...

Let's say a hypothetical scenario where for whatever reason Liberia tries to a military conquest for Sierra Leone during the American Civil War (like 1963) but it wraps up two years after the Civil War ending with British annexing Liberia. With Liberians not wanting to live under the British a...

A Soviet soldier watching forced laborers near Athens clearing debris. Local communist officials helped run the Greek capital for the Soviets before the liberation of Greece. Many Athenian writers, singers, professors, and others in similar professions were purged by the NKVD and dumped into...

Chapter 1: The Republic Could Not be Kept The Battle of Saratoga was the high-point for the Continental Army The devastating, decade-long War for Independence proved an immense struggle for the fledgling United States, devastating much of the nation and bringing the disorganized “Confederate...

As I understand it, women weren't technically banned from voting in the UK until the Reform Act 1832, which expanded the property franchise for men, but also defined a voter as a male person, explicitly barring women from voting. While I understand that women didn't vote often beforehand by...

The simplest way I can explain is that instead of have $1 - $100 Banknotes the US adopted a system that had $1 -$100 coins? How would something like this be implemented in the 1800s and how would this change American History?
