  1. Stacking the deck in the Axis favor

    I've seen Alternative history questions in which one thing is changed, and people ask what would happen. However, I wonder, what if a lot was changed in favor of the Axis? These are the changes I would make in favor of the Axis. -- Yugoslavia joins the Axis and the Government isn't overthrown...
  2. WI: France and Spain do not get involved in the American Revolutionary War

    If France and Spain only provide some loans and weapons and they do not get involved (I assume this goes with the Dutch too), then the British are favored to win this war. The USA's allies during the war were able to tie down British forces that would've gone to putting down the rebellion, but...
  3. What if George Washington doesn't die in 1799?

    I did a search on the forums, and it doesn't appear that someone has asked this question before. George Washington passed away in 1799 as a result of a sudden illness. He was only 67 at the time of his death. It is possible he could have lived to his early 80s like Franklin and Thomas...
  4. Communist China in the 1930s

    Hello, everyone. I've been thinking about something. In the 20s and the 30s China was involved in a Civil War between the Nationalist and the Communists. The Civil War was halted until after the Japanese were kicked out, and then the Communist won the Civil War. However, what would happen if the...
  5. AHC: Japan successfully invades and captures Midway

    How about instead of the Japanese invading the Aleutian Islands, they bring those forces to help in the battle of Midway?
  6. WI and AHC: Germans capture Sevastopol Early

    For how it would affect Case Blue, it depends on when the Germans wanted to launch Case Blue or even if they could at that point in time. In real life Case Blue was launched on June 28th of 1942. Would Germany even be able to launch Case Blue so soon if Manstein captured Sevastopol early or...
  7. WI and AHC: Germans capture Sevastopol Early

    If the Battle of the Kerch Peninsula didn't happen, it is likely that Manstein might have captured it sooner. He began the attack on the port in December of 1941, but had to halt his attack until May of 1942 because of the attack. Once Manstein was allowed to concentrate his attack on the port...
  8. German victory at Dunkirk

    Would it had mattered if the Germans were able to win the Siege of Lille quickly on May 28th? The French of about 40,000 men were able to stop the German advance of 110,000 men and 800 tanks for 4 days.
  9. Grant assasinated instead of Lincoln

    In the original plan, Booth was suppose to kill Lincoln while the rest of his co-conspirators (Lewis Powell, David Herold, and George Atzerodt) were suppose to kill Secretary of State William H. Seward, and Vice President Andrew Johnson. Powell did carry out his mission to kill Seward, but...
  10. German Civil War during Hitler's Reign

    I began to wonder something. There were many times during Hitler's reign that those in the German military were afraid of the Sturmabteilung, the plan to invade Czechoslovakia, the plan to invade France, the Germans who fought with the allies in the Battle of Castle Itter against the SS, the...
  11. Could Britain have won the Southern Theater of American Revolutionary War?

    Because most of the French army was on the mainland during the 7 Year War, and Britain's only major ally on the Continental was Prussia, it would require Prussia beating both Russia and Austria before they could turn their attention toward France. My only guess is that Peter III of Russia would...
  12. AHC: FDR Loses in 1936

    How about a combination of Roosevelt not during any Fireside chats along with the Republican party filibustering anything that the Democratics came up with?At least until 1935 when the Republicans in the senator lost the election in 1934 and the Democratics gained a super majority. Maybe FDR can...
  13. AHC: FDR Loses in 1936

    What would happen if the American people found out that FDR couldn't walk? Would that have an impact on his Presidential Election in 1936?
  14. Could Britain have won the Southern Theater of American Revolutionary War?

    Washington did lose battles, but he knew that was long as his army was around, the British couldn't win. Washington, along with Daniel Morgan and Nathanael Greene all used the Fabian strategy when they could. Back on topic: Let's just say that the battle of King's Mountain doesn't happen or...
  15. Could Lee save Vicksburg from Grant?

    Nice information you posted! I do think the numbers for the Confederacy's strength size is a bit misleading because I'm willing to bet that as the war went on, they recruited both young boys and old men to help them. I do have my doubts that the Confederacy equipping African-Americans into...
