    How Would Hitler Have Handled A Non-Fascist, Non-Communist, Republican Spain In World War II ?

    During World War II, Germany was interested in the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) for three main reasons: (1) Taking Gibraltar to close the Mediterranean Sea to the British; (2) Having Iberia as a reliable source of wolfram ore(tungsten) which was vital to upgrading military equipment...

    What Would Have Been The "German Hiroshima" Or The "German Nagasaki" ?

    Ultra was the name used for the Allies’s breaking of German secret codes during World War II. Without being able to decipher the German codes, some authorities have estimated the war, in a conventional, non-atomic bomb sense, could have lasted two to four years longer in Europe. Of course OTL...

    WI : Russia Gets Part of The Italian Colonies In 1945 ?

    What if Russia had gained control of Tripolitania in Libya in 1945, with United Nations approval, for at least 10 years ? Or perhaps longer ? What could they have done with it ? Make it a showcase of a well-run, Communist-aided-and-advised nation, an example of benevolent, specifically...

    WI Soviet East Austria ?

    WI Lettow-Vorbeck in German Southwest Africa?

    (I've done several searches here and have not come across this particular topic so if I've overlooked an already existing thread it was not intentional and I'm sorry for any duplication) The Italian colony of Libya was little more than a vast desert wasteland during the time of Italian rule...
