In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City never occurred? Would the United States invade Iraq and Afghanistan? Would the "Pivot to China" have been made earlier? Would John Kerry beat George W. Bush? Would Vladimir Putin strike a compromise between Russia and NATO?

Nearly 3,000 people died on September 11th, 2001. We will Never Forget their tragic deaths and those of the First Responders whose heroic efforts provided aid in the aftermath of one of the greatest tragedies in American history.

In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the Samurai Daimyo Blessed Justo Takayama Ukon accepted the offer from the Spanish Governor of the Philippines, Juan de Silva, to conduct a "Crusade" with Spain (and maybe Portugal) of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan? Could he survive to see the invasion? Could the Spanish juggle both the Eighty Years' War and a Japanese Crusader King? Would Spain rule Japan directly, or install a new Shogunate, or even restore the Emperor? Would Christianity, or 'Kirishitan' spread in Japan, morph into something else, or wither away with time and Samurai revolts?

In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if Louis XVI, the grandson of Louis XIV who created the absolutist state, was able to follow the trend of Enlightened Absolutism set by Frederick the Great and Catherine the Great, and be the leader he needed to be for France? How could the French Revolution have failed? Would Napoleon and the French Empire simply never rise? What will come of the waves of liberalism and nationalism that washed over Prussia and Germany and Austria and the rest of Europe in the 1820s and the Revolutions of 1848? Join us on this 2+ hour long counterfactual!

In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if Tsar Paul survived his assassination attempt and the Indian March of Paul succeeded, and Russia established a colonial foothold along with the Sikh and Maratha Empires, aligning with First Consul and later Emperor of the French Napoleon Bonaparte to attack the British Empire in the subcontinent. Could they make it through Qajar Iran and Durrani Afghanistan? Could they sustain a war in India? Or would Britain prevail in the Napoleonic Wars?

In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the British Empire did not recognized the Treaty of London of 1839, which, among other things, guaranteed Belgian neutrality? Would France and Russia be able to fight Germany and Austria-Hungary on their own? Could Kaiser Wilhelm II's Germany fulfill their Mitteleuropa project ambitions? Would the British maintain their massive globe-spanning empire?

In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the Sassanids managed to escape to Tang China and launch a reconquista of sorts to reclaim their land and reinstitute Zoroastrian hegemony? Would the Chinese be able to help them reclaim their homeland? Will the Sassanians join forces with the Byzantine Empire? Or will Byzantium and the Sassanids both fall to the Caliphate?

In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the Roman Empire never came into being--Rome being sacked in the 4th Century BC by the Gauls, and never rebounding? Who, if anyone, would rise in their place? Carthage? Macedonia? The Etruscans? The Samnites? Will Pontus become a great mercantile power? Will Persia dominate the near East? Will the Celts rise and form their own kingdoms?

In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the United States remained true to it's values and refrained from foreign intervention after the end of the Second World War? Would the Soviet Union rise as a dominant global power? Will Western Europe form a defensive, EU alliance? Will Japan, China, Korea, and Vietnam still follow the same paths to prosperity and authoritarianism respectively?

Just in time for the Ides of March! In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if Pompey the Great defeated Julius Caesar at the Battle of Pharsalus, becoming dictator and reshaping the Roman Republic in his image? Would Rome retain the Republican system? Would Pompey be able to keep ahold of Gaul? Would his sons divide the Roman Empire in his image?
