History is often moved by the "winds of change".  Sometimes, those forces are actually the winds of nature.  In this first episode of our 4-part series on the impact of hurricanes in history, we explore the "what if" of the Spanish Armada in 1588.

Some people make a distinction between "counterfactual" and "alternate" history.  So, since we are podcast devoted to that, maybe an episode to briefly address the similarities and differences is probably not a bad idea.

With its independence from Great Britain, the United States chose to forego a monarch as head of state and instead elected George Washington as its first president.  However, history does remind us that some suggested that Washington be appointed American's first king instead.

If that had occurred, who would be presently reigning monarch from the House of Washington?  Would there have been only one King Bushrod?  The answers aren't quite as simple as one might think.

Join Alexis as she explores the possibilities and needs for "the cousin jump", American style.

The final two scenes of series of the 1980's NBC television hospital drama St. Elsewhere recast the entire series as potentially the vivid imagining of one autistic boy, Tommy Westphall.

What are the theoretical "ripple effects" of a television universe ripe with cross-overs that connect to a show that is entirely in the mind of a child?  The implications of this hypothesis are as widespread as they are "whimsical".

In 207 BC, a vital message between the military forces of Carthage in their efforts to conquer Rome is intercepted falling into enemy hands and the fate of the 2nd Punic War turns in favor of Rome.

How might our world today be very different if the forces under Hannibal defeat Rome and gain decisive victory for Carthage, preventing the rise of the Roman Empire as we know it?

In our ever-evolving efforts to see how new things will work for the podcast, this episode features a detailed "fork" that flows from Henry Clay winning the 1840 US Presidential election from frequent contributor Brant Frost.

We are asking our listeners to consider Brant's timeline and respond with their thoughts via the website or send us an e-mail with our feedback.
Direct Link to Episode Feedback:https://www.aforkintimepodcast.com/clay-continuum

In a future episode, we will have Brant on to "defend" his timeline or respond to listener questions/feedback.  If this works well, we will do it some more and hopefully with other contributors.

On April 21, 1836, Texian forces defeated Mexican forces at the Battle of San Jacinto "winning" independence for Texas from Mexico.

What if the still numerically superior remaining Mexican forces in Texas had chosen to continue the war against the Texians and crush the revolution?

Eleanor of Aquitaine is one of the most interesting and influential women in all of recorded European history.  As both Queen Consort of France and England, she left a mark on the two different powerful nations.

How might history have been different if her first child with Louis VII, King of France, had been a male heir to the French throne?
