If you’re not familiar abetterworld is basically a site where you can change events in human history. It’s quite basic and only really has events up to 9/11. I was wondering if there’s any sites similar to it but more indepth?

Ottoman Empire did last 600 years and what if forced Turkish language in this timeline?

In this alternate timeline, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a pivotal figure in Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, dies of a heart attack before he can lead the movement that deposes Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Without Khomeini's charismatic leadership and unifying presence, the revolutionary fervor dissipates, allowing the Shah to maintain a tenuous grip on power.

However, his reign is marked by increased unrest, stemming from widespread dissatisfaction with his autocratic rule and the lavish lifestyle of the royal family amidst the country's economic difficulties. The Shah's attempts at reform and modernization continue but fail to quell the growing discontent. His health deteriorates, and in the early 1980s, he passes away, leaving the throne to his son, who faces even greater challenges.

The new Shah's efforts to stabilize the country are undermined by economic mismanagement and relentless opposition from various factions, including secular intellectuals, disenchanted youth, and underground leftist movements. By the mid-1980s, a well-organized communist coup, covertly backed by the Soviet Union, successfully deposes the Shah's son. The new government, closely aligned with Moscow, immediately begins to suppress religious institutions, aiming to eradicate the influence of Islam from the state and society. This move alienates a significant portion of the population but also secures the regime's power with the backing of the Soviet military and intelligence apparatus.

Leveraging its strategic position and new ideological alignment, Iran becomes a crucial ally for the Soviet Union in the Middle East, particularly as a launching pad for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. With Iran's logistical and material support, the USSR manages to establish a more stable puppet government in Afghanistan, avoiding the quagmire that historically contributed to its decline. This significant shift leads to a more prolonged Cold War, with the Soviet Union maintaining its power and influence until 2011. The absence of a humiliating defeat in Afghanistan prevents the demoralization and financial strain that contributed to the USSR's collapse.

However, it also means that the radicalization which led to the rise of Al-Qaeda and the subsequent 9/11 attacks never occurs. Instead, Osama bin Laden, disillusioned with the Soviet Union's dominance in the region and its repression of Muslim populations, orchestrates a devastating bombing of a subway in Saint Petersburg in the late 1990s.

This act ignites a fierce insurgency in the Muslim-majority regions within the Soviet Union, leading to a brutal and drawn-out conflict. The central government's heavy-handed response only fuels the rebellion, creating a quagmire that drains resources and further divides the already strained Union. The unrest escalates into a full-blown civil war, with several republics seeking independence.

The combination of internal conflict, economic stagnation, and continued resistance from the West eventually proves too much for the Soviet system to bear. By 2011, the Soviet Union, unable to maintain its grip on power and facing widespread rebellion and international isolation, finally collapses. The end of the USSR brings about a new world order, with the post-Soviet states navigating the complexities of independence and the global community adjusting to the vacuum left by one of the 20th century's superpowers.

Meanwhile, the US never experiences the “peace dividend,” or the end of history exuberance of the 90s and early 2000s, but manages to avoid the quagmires of Iraq and Afghanistan, emerging as a more financially stable but less culturally dominant and far more militarized state.

Made this for fun as part of a novel I’m writing with an author friend of mine. In this universe Vermont never joins the United States, Napoleon escapes to America, and decides to help the Patriote rebels in their struggle for independence against the British. I could go into more detail, if anyone is curious just ask.

I’ve recently gotten into alt-hist mapping and i’ve almost finished with my second map so now i’m beginning to think about what I should do for my third. Any suggestions?

How would human history develop if by an ASB every single human was turned into a Faunus in 6000 BC?

There are no Grimm, Dust, or Semblances just everyone is now a Faunus. Would the modern would look similar or look totally different?

Bonus: It happens in 1900 AD.

Ask any questions you have about my TL!

So, imma be completely honest with y’all, I just found out about this urban project after watching a video about it.

The Question of the day is what would happen if Akon City was built? Would it be a successful urban development? Or would it be a useless vanity project for a morally dubious R&B Artist?

So the British decide they will use the ancient claims recorded for the ancestors of each side. Jordan is made a territory of Jordan when the Hashemite reunify with Saudi relatives. Palestine is given Gaza to up to Ashdod. A strip of the Sinai to connect territory to Negev. Territorial boundary at the west of territory of Jordan south of the Dead Sea doesn’t change from our timeline. Lebanon is absorbed in to the state of Syria from a line north east of Beirut. This territory add larger number of Christian and Druze. Because of establishment of a palestinian state in 1949 instead of waiting till the 1980’s to start the process and put it on Israel. During the suez crisis Palestine joins with Israel in a mutual defense back to keep back Arab, saudis and Soviet influence. In 1967 a brief was lasted 4 days. Swift actions again the territory’s of the UAR, Egypt and Syria create buffer zones to keep back the Muslim brother hood raids. Using penal battalions of radical religious follower from the Muslim brother hood in the 1964-1965 round ups after the 1963 Muslim brotherhood uprisings in response to the 1961 unification as the United Arab Republic by Syria and Egypt. I’m 1975 a joint Suez canal alternative route project. 1980 the states of Palestine and republic of Israel unite in to the union of Israel and Palestine. Forming a joint government with separate republics for like Bosnia Herzegovina. Though the Iranian revolution created a new threat. The danger didn’t escalate until Iran began to have the capabilities to reach Israel but don’t reach this capacity till 2009. The UIP- Iran Cold War burns a cold flame to the present day fought through various proxy conflicts.

Hey there y'all! So, I've been dabbling in alternate history for a bit now, and one question that I keep find myself wondering, especially as I'm creating lore for my current project is: what sort of technological advancements could the world have made from the years 1848 to 1933, but didn't; any technologies that could've been made but weren't, didn't work at the time, just weren't feasible at that time, etc.

If y'all wouldn't mind sharing some of these, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Could they take it over ?

Aprils Fools haha :)
