After researching Memorial Day for my last two posts, I was inspired to write another set of “What If?” Writing Prompts. In keeping with the themes of war and the past, today’s batch features prompts in the history genre. See what historical tales you can create from these ideas, and feel free to add more of your own! Enjoy!
What if… none of the major conflicts of history had been resolved with war?
What if… the territories of the British Empire had been conquered by another nation instead?
What if… the American Civil War had never happened?
What if… the atomic bombs had never been dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
What if… the American Civil Rights Movement of the ’50s and ’60s had failed?
Good luck writing some more historical tales!
If you have any “What If?” writing prompt suggestions (for any theme), please feel free to share them in the comments below. Ideas I like may be featured in future “What If?” posts, with full credit and a link to your blog (if you have one)! Also, if you’ve written a piece based on an idea you’ve found here, be sure to link back to the respective “What If?” post. I would love to see what you’ve done with the prompt! Thank you!
