  1. US Constitution guarantees slavery

    Additional amendment as part of the Bill of Rights: "Congress shall make no law, as to infringe on the right of the people, to own and buy Negro slaves, nor shall Government in any way seek to regulate, the treatment of slaves or bondservants by their owners; such matters, shall be left to the...

  2. Most Evil AH Culture?

    Which AH culture is the most evil one? Post your ideas, why you think so and from which AH they are. When we have enough, we might have a poll. I for one thinks that Stirling will take the top, what with Draka, PL Cannibal Satanist Russians and what have you...

  3. Yellow Eyes (Ringo & Kratman)

    I finished the book yesterday and have a half-finished review/rant coming up. But first I'd ask what others who've read it thought of it?

  4. Starship Troopers 3

    (Yes, I know there's a thread already, but since that one got derailed into the usual political discussion, I'm opening a new one.) WARNING! SPOILERS! You have been warned... This direct-to-video film is the third one in the series that started with Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers. It...

  5. Russia abolished after the fall of the USSR?

    Assuming that the political will had been there in the West - which it emphatically was not IRL - could Russia have been dismantled after the fall of the USSR and divided up into smaller, harmless entities?

  6. WI there had been a genocide on American Indians?

    (Disclaimer: This author does not in any way support or excuse genocide or the politics behind it, but is merely positing a hypothetical alternate history scenario.) If the American states had, for some reason, officially or implicitly pursued a policy of genocide on the American Indians, how...

  7. AH Challenge: Portugal part of the British Empire!

    Could this ever happen? If so, when would it most likely be?

  8. Portugal retaining her overseas provinces

    Is this possible at all, and what POD would be required? Additionally, what would the consequences be? I know a little about this stuff, but only a little.

  9. Good Axis, Evil Allies?

    I realise this must've been done (a lot) before, but all the words I can think of searching for are way too common, so... How does one reverse WWII so that the Axis quite clearly are the good guys and the Allies evil? They needn't be caricatures, America or Britain (to say nothing of the USSR)...

  10. Children of Men

    Saw the film not too long ago. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

  11. DBWI: The Germania Olympics Discussion Thread

    Well, what do you think about letting the Nazis host the upcoming Olympics? Do you buy the talk that sports aren't politics and that the USA shouldn't boycott the games? And what do you think about the Czechs-in-exile who protested the torch-carriers in San Fran? Is Bohemia just an unruly German...

  12. WI the Tunguska Meteor hit London

    I read somewhere that this wasn't entirely unlikely. Just change its entry vector by a tiny increment. Well? Does this have any consequences reaching outside Britain? Were any remarkable people in London on June 30, 1908? Is the loss of its capital enough to cripple Britain, with various...

  13. DBWI: What do you think about the new voting rules?

    I'm personally very sceptical to repealing the poll tax; what prospective voters who can't pay it could possibly understand anything of politics? Their votes would just be bought by corrupt politicians promising them better wages. Socialism would blossom and pull down everything we've built to...

  14. What if Igor Sikorsky had stayed in Russia?

    Let's say the Bolsheviks offer him a really good deal in 1918, and that he takes it. (I don't know his personality; was he ideologically opposed to them?) Over the next forty years, he continues to work with them, and they fund his helicopter research. What happens?

  15. A Right-Wing Student Revolt

    This might perhaps be better placed in the ASB forum, since it's unlikely, but as I hoped to treat it seriously, I'll post it here. What if the "Revolt of '68" had been far right instead of far left? Instead of hippies, Civil Rights and peace protesters, we see neo-Nazis, survivalists and the...

  16. Just finished "Designated Targets"

    And, well, thought I'd post a few spontaneous comments: First, the good stuff. I liked how Birmo worked out the Nazi-Soviet truce; it's fairly believable, and an interesting take on the new situation. Characterisation of the historically "evil" characters was also fairly good (and perhaps even...

  17. Pop culture of a Nazi 21st century

    This thread is based on the assumption of an absolute best case scenario for the Nazis (bordering on ASB). Germany won WW2 without extensive damage to its industry or infrastructure. Britain was conquered, the Soviets surrendered and were partitioned, America never entered the war. Basically...

  18. Watch on the Rhine (Posleen series)

    I just finished it. What do you think of it?

  19. DBWI: Judeo-Bolshevik Victory AHs?

    Most people don't want to admit it, but WW2 was a lot closer than it appeared. If we hadn't taken Britain out early, the Americans would have joined too soon, before we'd finished off the Soviets. And the struggle then was even worse; even High Command doubted the Fuhrer's judgment when he...

  20. Different Laws of War

    What if the Lieber Code (http://www.civilwarhome.com/liebercode.htm), rather than various Hague/Geneva/other Conventions, was still the only law governing the conduct of US troops in war or occupation, and the people felt this to be right and reasonable? How could it affect Iraq and the War on...
