alternate history

This is of course an adaption of KitFisto1997's King of Kings, which was on Alternate History. Recently I've been going through some of my old google docs, and one of them (years old by this point) is this. So here I am, now publishing this here on SB I am rewriting alot of it, as my writing...

Rough Timeline Before 2000 BC Indigenous tribes arrive and establish a settlement at the centre of where the city will be millennia later. The nation grows from there. A kingdom develops. 1500 BC Earliest written records dated to this period. 1100 BC The nation appears in Phoenician records...

Chapter I - The Eagle Survives It was the most important moment of Sirhan’s life, and he blew it. He was listening to the radio, of which one of the guards at the jail he was being held at was using to mock him most seriously. By allah that ‘C.O Vowell’ would get his due one day, he would...

I-I: Daughter of Man ~ Mt. Nimba, West Africa ~ ~ 851 Anno Domini ~ Guere Yawo The night was calm and cool atop the mountain, but it did little to calm his nerves. His eyes were fixated to the small fire in front of the entrance of the hut, blazing balmily on the pyre...

Ignoring the fact that, canonically, WW2 and the rise of Hitler still (somehow) happen in the DC movie-verse, let us examine what would be a more realistic outcome of the events of the first Wonder Woman film. A major butterfly effect has to focus on the deaths of most of, if not all, of the...

Everyone knows the canonical life-story of Buffy Summers, the Sunnydale Slayer; it's an epic tale of heroism, tragic romance, mental trauma, and survival despite often-impossible odds. But everyone is the hero of their own life-story. Whether it's an epic, a tragedy, or a grim warning tale with...

Compared to war, culture, and geopolitics, food and food preparation tends to be overlooked in AH circles. But as in all things, the butterflies let loose by different PODs — such as farmland being either developed or destroyed, economic booms and busts, and different trade routes that pass...

I will start with a few wild ones : Pakistani - Afghan Union (Unrealistic)

This is an AU fiction story branching from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode S3: E18 The Citadel. If you haven’t watched it yet, or not recently, I highly recommend rewatching it for context in Chapter 1. This story will be told from the third-person point of view. Chapter 1, Freezing...

Fort Sumter, South Carolina Damn himself to a million hells. How could he have missed such an open shot? Just mere feet away, only to accidentally wound an innocent child, Samuel Seymour. Luckily the child survived, though he would have scars on his head and a disfigured ear to account for...

Here's the idea: PoD: Around 2000 BC, hunter-gatherers in the Papua Peninsula begin cultivating Sorghum propinquum, simultaneously acclimatizing it for the highlands and increasing overall yield, and by around AD 1 it becomes a fully productive grain, spread northward to the main Highlands...

Copied over from the general thread. The basic premise is that Andronikos II is killed in battle against the Turks at Tralleis in 1284 and the Byzantine Empire is spared his reign of mass stupidity. Table of Contents: I - 1284-~1300 II - ~1300 - ~1400 (political) III - ~1300 - ~1400 (social) IV...

What if in an alternative timeline Russia invades Ukraine? To set a few rules here to ensure someone doesn't go 'then NATO joins in and crushes Russia' because some 'tard is gonna think that's a suitable answer, the rules are thus, be concise in how you think it would work out, and how long it...

By normal standards, the premises we like to discuss in AH circles can seem bemusing and strange. The American Revolution failing, the Central Powers winning World War I, even an inverted Cold War scenario (or two) where America and Russia play “swapped” roles. Certainly, such worlds would be...

Founded by a movement predisposed towards terror and social engineering from the very beginning, the Soviet Union consistently ranked as one of the most repressive, most authoritarian, and—quite ironically—most unequal regimes of the twentieth century. In addition to state-sponsored mass killing...

Despite his march across the continent ultimately ending in defeat, Napoleon Bonaparte left behind a legacy as one of Modernity's great conquerors and statesmen, with the wars that became his namesake having profound consequences of their own. Increasingly centralized states and the spirit of...

Despite being massively overshadowed by the Nazis, the German communists who rose to prominence in the aftermath of the Great War were still a notorious bunch, known for inciting violent revolution and seeking to tear down the already-fragile Weimar Republic. If their thuggish behavior in OTL is...

We've already got elseworlds with baby Kal-El's kryptonian space pod landing in England, Medieval Europe, the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and 14th century feudal Japan. Basically, in your opinion, what're some other options that could make for interesting stories/timelines?
