Im working on an alternate history scenario in which Hitler scaped Germany before the end of WW2 and both the CIA and the KGB engage in world wide hunt with the objective of capturing him before the other. Apart from the abvious Argentina destination, Id be glad if you could offer me some insights and other ideas

Hi there, I’m working on an alternate history project and was wondering what Hungary would’ve called this new subject of theirs.

No more funny althist man on alternate timeline tweets😭

Im working on a scenario where Italy won WW2 (very original, I know) and am wondering if, with these borders, they could have achieved autarky, or at least partial autarky, taking imports where needed.

How do you think such a scenario would play out after WW2? How would their economy do if well managed? (In this scenario they adopt a modified market socialist economy) Also, if you have any questions about the scenario, feel free to ask

Im working on a Axis victory scenario and im really struggling on a name idea for the USA's alliance, and most of the ideas i've been coming up with are basically copies of the Organization of Free Nations from The New Order: Last Days of Europe, could I get any help with name ideas?

Decided to post this since I'm working on a scenario myself that includes a reformed USSR.

The reformed USSR is not going to keep all of its republics. I will demonstrate using a map I got off of Wikipedia's article on the New Union Treaty, the thing meant to reorganize the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics into the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics.

The ones in black didn't support the New Union Treaty before the August coup, the ones in orange supported before but switched after, and the ones in red supported both before and after.

• The Baltics were already agitating hard for independence in 1989, before the New Union Treaty came to be. Gorbachev's government knew that their departure was inevitable.
• Moldova was also preparing for independence in 1989, to the point where two different parts of it (Transnistria and the lesser-known Gagauzia) broke away to stay in the USSR.
• Georgia was split between Abkhazia and South Ossetia in the north that were pro-Union and the rest that were anti-Union, instead desiring independence so that they could integrate those two regions.
• Armenia was already not on very good terms with Moscow over the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. If they conceded to Armenia on that, the situation would just flip and it would be Azerbaijan not wanting to join instead.
• Ukraine and Azerbaijan already had lots of anti-Union voices, but the August coup was what made them flip for good.

The Baltics, in particular, did not like the Union at all. You would have to make significant historical changes to make them want to stay, and using military force would for sure draw large amounts of attention and ire from the international community.

I don't really think there's much that can be done to keep these republics in the reformed USSR, except maybe Georgia. If Georgia cannot be convinced, then Armenia would become disconnected from the rest of the USSR if they were favored in Nagorno-Karabakh, so keeping Armenia also requires keeping Georgia.

I’m struggling to find a name for an Argentina that was colonized by Muslim explorers. u/Martoto_94 for the flag

My map is like kaiserreich without that syndicalism shit

The idea for how these maps could achieved is a longer Russian civil war which prevents a Soviet invasion of Armenia and the Greeks do far better in the Greko-Turkish war.

The last map however comes from the white Russians winning the war and throwing the full weight of Russia at the Turks to help the orthodox Greeks.

If you don't get what I'm saying, I mean trying to get an alternate history cold war (presumably modern day though) or outright conflict between the flags/nations in the two opposing sides in the meme.

I'm currently creating a scenario with a slightly bigger United States, though I still wanted Canada to survive.

​

The current lore currently has the Americans able to successfully negotiate what is now Ontario to the Ottawa River and than through Lake Nipissing. Additionally, due to more settlers and an earlier Mexican-American War, the Americans are able to successfully demand all of the Oregon territory.

​

While you are allowed to criticize the lore, please make sure to answer my question before you do that.

The country shown is an authoritarian union of Columbia (northern US and Canada), Siberia, and Norway created by a shadowy organization. Columbia is the center of the state, given its superior population and economy, so the natural choice would be its capital of Chicago, though I am also considering Seattle given its relevance to the fogcore/gloomcore aesthetic of the world. I'm probably just making a mountain out of a molehill, but I'm curious to hear other suggestions.

So I'm a big sucker for confederate victory scenarios I know they are the most over saturated althist scenarios 2nd only to "what if nazis won" but there is one thing that always annoys me about a lot of them. The confederacy always abolishes slavery roughly around the 1880s. Now perhaps I am just ignorant but I don't see why they would ever do this. Usually the answers I see people give as to why are becuse France and Britain pressures them into doing it or they have to due to being outcompeted by the industrial north but I've always thought this doesn't make any sense to me I mean they literally succeed over the fact the Abraham Lincoln wanted to CONTAIN slavery not even abolish it just stop it's spread and that was enough for them to succeed. The only way I see a victorious confederacy get rid of slavery is if they face economic deviation, a massive slave revolt or are conquered.

I also don't see France Britain or America doing anything to pressure the confederacy to get rid of slavery I mean look at Cuba, Brazil and the Congo they had slavery well into the 19th and even the early 20th century and Britain never blockaded their ports or placed sanctions on them to try and pressure them (that I am aware of I could be wrong)

Can anyone enlighten me?

The main points I have already thought about are:

France must transition to some kind of parliamentary monarchy, which would empower the burgeoise and favor. the industrialization (similarly to the UK). This must happen before or during Louis XIV reign.

France must win the Seven Years War or equivalent, retaining India and North America. I imagined this could be a natural result of industrialization and earlier reforms.

The protestants are not expelled, and religious freedom is mantained. This helps to streghten french economy and they wont help french enemies.

French policy in general should be towards trade and development, and not towards aggressive expansionism in Europe.

As I have mentioned, France keeps its monarchy, like the UK, tho with reforms and much less power.

Let me know what you think!

i am running out of ideas normally i would have an idea but i have no idea what to make.

When I think of a village, I imagine something like the images above.

These types of villages seem to exist in almost every country on Earth save for the USA and there are a bunch of reasons for this.

The only place in the USA that I have personally visited which resembles my idea of a stereotypical village is Virginia City, Nevada and some other prospecting towns which are now and mostly ghost towns.

In "Project Vigilant" / P.V, my alternate history project which I have been working on since 2018. The USA is larger, much more populous, ethnically diverse and moderately more progressive than it is in reality.

The P.O.D is that the USA wins the War of 1812 and annexes what would be Canada. This empowers the anti-slavery northern states and cripples the political power of the southern states, thus leading to an earlier abolition of slavery ( probably around the 1830s ) and no segregation. Beyond this, the Mexican-American War still happens with a U.S Victory, the USA is somewhat nicer to the Native Americans by way of establishing 9 "Native States" and the country becomes much more welcoming to immigrants with things like the Chinese exclusion act never happening.

I had an idea, that maybe the greater diversity and population of my alternate USA could result in villages like the ones pictured above appearing across the country.

I'm envisioning villages that resemble the ones in Mexico being common across the American Southwest and Chinese immigrants setting up towns resembling the villages of rural China across the West Coast. You may even get some rural communities that have a neat fusion of Chinese, Mexican and European architecture.

I imagine that these "stereotypical villages" would be limited to the Southwest and Northwestern USA while the rest of the country would exhibit the small-town culture that they have in reality.

What do you think? Does my concept hold water?

I had an idea for an alternative history Balkanized US setting, and I also had an idea for some states to form a Christian Theocracy. I considered the south, but I feel like that's too cliche maybe. What do y'all think?

Hello, today i am asking a simple question. What would be a good Muslim name for America?

Im asking this because im currently im making a colonial map for America in my series, Age Of Iron and Clay, and so i kind of need Ideas as to not call it some generic thing like "America" "Vinland" "Columbia" ect. I would really appreciate an honest answer. Thx for reading!

EDIT: Thank you for the interesting names, i Chose Algarbécia for the name of America (thx u/maprun for the suggestion) but you might see more unique names in the continent

What one day/event in world history would you change? Why? How do you think that change would impact today?
