| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of American International Holdings Corp. (AMIH), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in AMIHs latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted. Organization, Ownership and Business American International Holdings Corp. (AMIH) is a 93.2% owned subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc. ("American") (OTCBB: AMIN). Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Fair Value of Financial Instrument The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation. Net Loss Per Common Share The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. Management's Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Subsequent Events AMIH has evaluated all subsequent events from June 30, 2015, through the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements for subsequent event disclosure consideration. New Accounting Pronouncements We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. |

| Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
| Related party transactions | Note 2 Related Party Transactions As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, AMIH had a receivable from AMIN of $2,151,763 and $2,221,317, respectively.

| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Going concern | Note 3 Going Concern As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no operations, a net loss of $64,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an accumulated deficit of $2,144,172, and has no sources of revenue and expects to incur further losses in the future, thus raising substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management plans to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations during 2015. As a shell corporation, the Corporation has pursued potential business combination transactions with existing private business enterprises that might have a desire to take advantage of the Company's status as a public company. These financials do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. |
