So, for my first timeline, I decided to jump on a bandwagon and make my own fictional North America. The main PoD is that the Whigs successfully pressure for the US to only annex the area claimed by Texas after the Mexican-American War. The South does not like this, and secedes after Winfield...

In an ATL where the Articles of Confederation collapse into a domino effect of independent republics and confederations of former US states, how would each nation's dialect develop by today? Is slightly more than 2 centuries enough time for dialects to form notably different from the OTL...

So for those of you who were around before I left the board, I had a TL called the Commonwealth Wank. I've been asked to revive it or start it over now that I'm back, and I've been thinking about it more and more. So, with a bit of inspiration from @Kanan, I am pleased to announce that I have...

I was about to leave out the word earlier, but then remembered Haiti. More generally, what's the earliest possible date the French could have won the Franco-Spanish war? What's the furthest south of Fort Pentagouet and Acadia the French could have colonized the continental North Atlantic coast...

Introduction The New England Patriots seemed like an unstoppable dynasty during the early 2000s. Winning three Super Bowls and appearing in a fourth losing to the New York Giants in the 2007 season, finishing at 18-1. One game away from perfection. The team was ready for the next year. Then...

TIMELINE ITSELF This is the official thread for my up-and-coming timeline, Soviet Victory. Hey, I know, not a very catchy name. The main premise is that: The American-Vietnamese War (Sometimes Americans refer to it as "The Downfall War") ends much later than normal. Through this, tensions...

After the Treaty of Richmond in 1815 declared British victory over the USA, tensions have been rising. Now forty two years after the treaty Anglo American relations have reached a boiling point. With modern technology, larger armies, and new resources gained by both nations from the Mexicans in...

Actually, it wasn't John Fiske but Perry Miller in his Orthodoxy in Massachusetts that in 1638 when there was a threat of MBC charter being revoked, the colony's leaders would have risen to an armed resistance if necessary, and possibly the monument in Bunker Hill would celebrate an earlier date...

In the Puritan colonies of New England, there had been separatism from the beginning. In Massachusetts Bay, governor Winthrop in his letter to the English lords of trade warned in 1638 that if the King was about to enroach upon their liberties in any way, the people of the colony would doubtless...

After some careful thought and consideration, I've decided to formally open a thread here in the Graphics forum dedicated to Our Fair Country, which I had started over in the pre-1900 forum. The premise behind this is pretty simple; I'm going to use this as a place to post the various maps...

For a quick history refresher for those who aren't fluent in American history, the British-favoring New Englanders, in retaliation of the War of 1812, formerly seceded from the United States. What if they decidedly didn't remove themselves from the United States? What would the American...

(Hello everyone! So, I have no idea if this goes here, or in the place more for stories, or in the Alien Space Bats sub-forum. This is my first attempt at a formal alternate history story/timeline, and I'm not sure how well this stands up to the scrutiny of the community. I've seen and...

In a timeline/map I'm making, New England will secede from the USA after a particularly rough War of 1812 and I wanted to give it a more unique name than 'The Commonwealth of New England' or the 'Federal States of America' or something else like that, so I gathered a few names that I...

In 1638, on the tail end of the other New England colonies being established, an extreme Puritan colony called New Haven (capital New Haven) was founded without a charter in order to attempt an even closer church-state relationship than in Massachusetts Bay, which was famed for its religious...

"Allow me to tell you all a tale. I'm sure it's one we all know; but in times such as these, old tales have a way of being relevant. Isn't that what the good book is, after all? Old tales to help us through rough times? "Now let me take you back. Back a long, long, long time ago. When our...

With the typical Hartford Convention POD, and New England seceding to become a British puppet state, there are a few interesting considerations. New England settlers formed the majority of settlers in the Midwest area, which would become the second most economically powerful part of the OTL US...

Ok, so this is a series on populist vs. moderate dynamics. This time, how would Upper New England (Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire) vote with a moderate, Rockefeller-type GOP?

I now present my first timeline. Been working on it for about a year now, though I only have been writing for about a month. This timeline will hopefully end up being pretty long, though this part will only cover events up to 1757. If you have any comments or critiques I encourage you to...

Foreword In the pursuit of Knowledge, Historians have long debated among themselves over the correct interpretations of events. This knowledge thus finds itself muddled between the various and competing views of the significance of the facts, or the interpretation of their effects. North...
