Fictional History Disclaimer
Effective September 2, 2026
This is a fun what-if site
Alternate Past creates short fictional dramatizations for fun, traffic, and historical discussions. The videos are not actual news, archival footage, eyewitness evidence, historical documentation, or predictions about the future.
Generated media
Videos and written material are generated with artificial intelligence and may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or visually misleading. Provider attribution and AI disclosures should remain visible when you share a dispatch.
Historical sensitivity
Some scenarios involve war, political extremism, slavery, genocide, disasters, or other serious subjects. The purpose is to explore contingency and perspective, not to celebrate atrocities or endorse political movements. Historical figures and events may be portrayed in fictional circumstances.
Use your judgment
Check reliable primary and secondary sources before making claims about real history. Do not use an Alternate Past dispatch as evidence, reporting, legal advice, political information, or a basis for a consequential decision.
