An American electoral politics TL, portraying a world where the national Presidential primary election was adopted almost two decades early, in the late 1950s. It focuses narrowly on the campaign shenanigans that come about as a result of this change. Changes in the wider world, as different...

You're supposed to provide several prompts of your own to continue the chain.

A future history timeline with the premise that peak oil was hit somewhere around 2000, with production essentially halting around 2060. The work itself consists of a series of 'snapshots', each describing a particular area of the world or facet of culture, technology, or politics in the year...

A timeline depicting a surviving an Incan state that survived into the 1970s. Presented primarily as excerpts from the personal diary of an attache in the American embassy in Cusco, the timeline starts focused on the unique culture of the nation. However, it soon shifts into a Cold War thriller...

A timeline covering the travails of a fascist military dictatorship in French North Africa. The timeline covered the years between 1937- when Communists seized control of the metropole and forced the military government into exile- and 1944, when it collapsed under pressures both internal and...

A South African political TL, with a POD of Pieter Willem Botha never suffering his 1989 stroke and remaining the President and leader of the National Party. As an outspoken opponent of black majority rule, his continued dominance of the government resulted in an even longer and rockier path...

A timeline focusing on pop culture and corporate history, whose premise is… completely explained by its exhaustive title. Disney and Nintendo form a close co-operative relationship through the 70s and 80s, with corresponding effects on the cultural landscape. Ranging from partnerships such as...

Why are you responding to a prompt from 2015? Also, you should include a set of prompts to continue the game.

A TL detailing the growth of a nonviolent civil resistance movement in British controlled Ireland through the late 1800s and early 1900s. Known as the ‘Harpists’ due to the use of the harp as a symbol (and their habit of blocking the streets in front of government buildings with ranks of men...

No ARW, or a brief failure of an ARW, means the Marquis de Lafayette never rises to prominence. This would have significant effects on the course of the French Revolution (if that still happens) since he was a major figure in the early stages of the FR thanks to the prestige and revolutionary...

A timeline of a continuing French Louisiana. Although the exact point of departure is never fully explained, Napoleon managed to avoid being sucked into a Spanish quagmire and continued to maintain some degree of control over Haiti in cooperation with Toussaint Louverture. As a consequence, the...

On July 25th, 1969, one day after Apollo 11 returned from the Moon, an alien probe flashed into existence in orbit above the Earth. It announced that it was the first emissary in a series of missions that would prepare the people of Earth for full contact with, and (eventually, hopefully) formal...

A boxing oriented timeline focusing mostly on the life and times of a single individual, Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. The POD is that he never formally converted to Islam and thus never became Muhammad Ali. Instead, when he stepped into the ring he took on the name of 'Napoleon Ali', in order to...

An ASB TL, where Alexander the Great is immortal and conquers the world... eventually. Although the timeline spends a fair bit of time describing Alexander's century spanning campaigns and the world he leaves in his wake, the focus of the timeline is on the character of Alexander himself across...

A TLIAM (which ultimately took most of a year to complete) in the form of an extended essay, using the titular 'Pepsi-Greenpeace Wars' as a lens to explore 'The Age of Private Armies'- a period over by the 'present' in which the essay is written, but which had far-reaching effects. The TL is...
