Nagatoro: You're My Creep, Senpai!
The twenty-six-year-old man nervously looks upon the high school before him. "Brings back a lot of memories, huh, Naoto?" the woman by his side comments. "Yeah. I mean... this is where we first met." "Look at you; trying to make me blush!" She elbow-bumps him. "You don't really think you can impress me with such smooth talk, do you? You're so pervy!" "For goodness' sake, Hayase..." These two no longer called each other Senpai and Nagatoro. They had both long since graduated and started dating. It got to the point where they were comfortable referring to each other by their given names, though Nagatoro still teased Hachiouji about it. They're at their old high school on a Sunday taking a look around, commenting on the nostalgia that it brought. They both walk into the library and approach the window, seeing the baseball field and trees surrounding it. While Nagatoro gazes upon the scenery, Hachiouji feels the object he has in his pocket that he wants to surprise

AHS #10: Central victory in World War I
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT WHAT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY POSSIBILITIES. I've noticed that public interest in World War I has really taken off in recent years, with movies like "Wonder Woman" and "1917" being made about that chaotic period in European history. But when seeing the ambitions of the Central Powers; the plans they had for after winning the war; one wonders how such a victory would have defined the twentieth century. Here's what I see as most likely. Immediate effects There are a few things that the Central Powers have to do differently in order to win. Firstly, they need better maritime battle strategies, to make sure they can break through the British blockade and withstand invasions. Also, try not to cave into the temptation to dig trenches, no matter how many the Allies dig. And most of all, Germany has to do everything they can to make sure the United States of America does not get involved. Meaning they encourage Germanic

AHS #9: Axis victory in World War II
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT WHAT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY POSSIBILITIES. ALSO, THIS SCENARIO IS OUTDATED. I WROTE IT UP A WHILE AGO AND HAVE SINCE GOTTEN MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUBJECT. BUT I STILL THINK THIS COULD BE INSIGHTFUL. I'LL WRITE MORE SCENARIOS IN THE FUTURE COVERING SMALLER ASPECTS OF THIS. Be honest. Did you really think I'd never cover this scenario? I mean, World War II was one of THE most important events in human history. The war wasn't the final battle between good and evil, but it's about as close to it as a historical event can get. On top of that, there's no real point of divergence in this timeline. There were several things the Axis Powers had to do differently in order to ensure victory for Germany and Japan. Basically, the entire war had to go differently. Like this: Immediate effects In order to ensure victory, then the governments of Germany, Italy, and Japan have to do three things: Cooperate with

AHS #8: the American Revolution fails
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT WHAT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY POSSIBILITIES. This one gets a lot of attention from me and my fellow Americans, especially during our Fourth of July celebrations. When munching on hot dogs while watching the fireworks, we sometimes ponder over what it would have been like if the thirteen colonies that became the United States of America had remained subject to the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Little do most of us realize, however, that the consequences of that would be much greater than just having fewer rights and no opportunity to expand westward... Immediate effects In order to suppress the Revolution, Britain has to do a few things differently. Firstly, appeal to more of the tribes. Secondly, get Hanover involved early on. Thirdly, use better battle strategies. And fourthly, make sure all this gets done BEFORE France gets involved. So let's say they do. Revolutionaries are beaten into submission by the people

AHS #7: No Big Bang
DISCLAIMER: um... THIS IS FOR SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT. The beginning of the universe is both simple and complicated. When God created the heavens and the earth thirteen billion, seven hundred seventy million years ago, a massive occurance of expansion caused matter to shoot billions of lightyears in all directions. This event is known nowadays as the Big Bang. Much scientific research is put into what exactly happened just within the first second. But I've been looking into something even more interesting: what it would have been like if that universe-sized explosion hadn't happened. I didn't think much of it at first, but then I started talking to several astronomers and physicists and they believe that the universe and existence itself would be quite unusual and interesting without the Big Bang. The input they gave me has been extremely helpful, so I'd like to thank them individually. Dr. Rick Callos of the University of Wisconsin, Dr.

AHS #6: No P-T Extinction Event
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT WHAT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY POSSIBILITIES. The extinction of seventy-five percent of life on earth at the end of the Cretaceous Period that claimed most of the dinosaurs was the largest and most devastating extinction event to ever shake the planet, right? WRONG! One hundred eighty-six million years earlier, about eighty-three percent of life on earth had died out at the end of the Permian period. Creatures at this time; though not as big and famous as dinosaurs; were nonetheless impressive, including big lumbering pareiasaurs and terrifying sea scorpions. But these animals met their end to excessive volcanic ash that blocked out the sun and almost spelled doom for life on Earth. So let's give the underrated Paleozoic critters a second chance. I'm gonna do what we did for the dinosaurs and imagine a world where the biggest extinction event ever didn't happen. Immediate effects Somewhere around 251900000

AHS #5: No K-Pg Extinction Event
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT WHAT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY POSSIBILITIES. I know this is technically more alternate prehistory than alternate history, since the point of divergence is sixty-six million years before known history began. But it delves into something that happened in the past, so I'm gonna cover it anyway. This is a scenario that has crossed the minds of basically everybody who has ever heard of a dinosaur. After hearing or reading of that meteorite impact that drove them all (minus the avian ones) into extinction, we've all wondered what it would be like if they had survived. Where would certain ones be located? How would they interact with other animals? Or even humans? This is something that many people have already given their interpretations on; spawning books like "The New Dinosaurs" by Dougal Dixon, and movies like "The Good Dinosaur" by Pixar. Seeing that most of this covers prehistoric wildlife, this might call for

AHS #4: No Roman Empire
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT WHAT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY POSSIBILITIES. When looking into alternate history, probably among the first twenty-or-so scenarios that would come to mind is "What if the Roman Empire hadn't fallen?". This empire, the only civilization to completely overrun the Mediterranean, has had a profound impact on western society that still leaves echoes to this day. When looking into it though, scenarios where Rome's dominion never came to an end were- for the lack of better words- boring. The Empire doesn't split, there's a border war with the Sasanians, Rome expands northward and southward, they manage to push back the emerging caliphates, they don't find the New World, and there's a sort of cold war between Rome and China. That's... about it. And then I noticed a few videos by AlternateHistoryHub on YouTube. Among their many videos is a set having to do with ancient Rome that I found much more interesting: an alternate
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT WHAT DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY POSSIBILITIES. Nuclear war is a terrifying notion. You know it and I know it. The idea of millions of people vaporizing and billions more choking on the fallout isn't exactly something one would want to ponder right before turning out the lights for the night. So let's imagine a timeline where that's not possible. Nuclear fission is never weaponized, there's no chance of a nuclear apocalypse, and the world is much merrier. Right? Well... Immediate effects The point of divergence in this timeline is in 1939 in Germany; when Paul Harteck, the director of the physical energy department at the University of Hamburg and also an advisor to the Army Ordinance Office, finds out about Doctors Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman's discovery of nuclear fission, that the splitting of an atom can have explosive effects. IRL, Harteck immediately alerted the Reich Ministry of War of this with his
