    Supposing that for example, Bismarckian Germany acquires (purchases actually) the Philippines from Spain in 1889 as a prerequisite for there not being a German/Spanish war (Flimsy excuse I know) and so the Germans have a major holding in the Western Pacific, The German High Seas Fleet...

  2. What if The US had fielded the M26/M46 tank in 1943

  4. DB: If the WASHINGTON NAVAL TREATY had succeded!

    Two major wars would have been seriously effected. First of course was the American-Japanese war of 1928, when the Pacific ambitions and interests of both countries finally clashed in open warfare. Would it have been possible that this war would have been avoided entirely had there been...

  5. Double Blind: Africans do not adopt Firearms

    Suppose, that instead of most African "kingdoms" adopting firearms in the 17th century, they had remained as more primative tribal cultures? Would the great African nations of today such as Great Zembabwe, Timbuctu. and the Zulu Republic have been replaced with European or Asian COLONIES...

  11. LEXINGTON and SARATOGA

    Suppose that SARATOGA is not torpedoed and under repair, and that is present a Coral Sea. Let's presume that due to the additional presence of a large USN CV, LEXINGTON is not sunk, nor is YORKTOWN beaten up! That makes 5 large USN carriers available for Midway! What do the Japanese do...

  12. What if Napoleon served the King of Naples?

    Suppose, that the young Napoleon Bonaparte had failed to obtain a posting as Lieutenant in the Armies of France, but instead were forced to obtain employment in Italy? Imagine Napoleon, as a Colonel in an Italian artillery regiment when the French invade Italy! The French (besides being...
