Pick a point of divergence and watch a careful historian trace the knock-on effects across politics, technology, culture and daily life for a century or more — ending with the world today and a front page from it. Play it interactively to steer the turning points. Free, no sign-up.
Timelines follow geography, economics and technology, not wishful thinking. Each one rates its own plausibility and names its biggest leap.
See how the change hits kitchens, classrooms, music and maps, not only borders. The front-page headline is the fun part.
In play mode you decide what happens at each fork, and the historian follows your choices to a new present day.
Is this real history?
No — it is clearly labelled speculation grounded in real historical forces.
Can I pick any divergence?
Almost any. Scenarios that glorify atrocities or hateful ideologies are declined.
How far does the timeline go?
At least a century, in six to eight dated steps, ending with the present day.
Is it free?
Yes, free and no sign-up needed.
