Alternate Sport History is a wiki that was initially based off a thread on alternatehistory.com under the name of An Earlier World Cup of Football with the simple point of difference being what if it was a earlier World Cup. With a contributing Wiki on the Althistory Wikia, the original thread would die in 1938. But the timeline laid dorment until I picked it back up and expanded to include all sports in the timeline. From there, I have expanded with different PODs from other sports and hopefully expand the timeline onwards until hopefully the modern day.
