  1. Prince Henry of Prussia: Rise of the U-boat, Redux

    I am beginning a rewrite of my previous time line about U-boats. After a few years of reflection, it is clear to me that the story can be improved. My major focus will be on making the story more readable though better writing. As to the content, I never intended for the story to be focused...

  2. Ottomans enter WW1 in 1915

    On October 1 1914, the Ottomans closed the Dardanelles. It was the actions of the Goeben that brought them into the war. The Ottomans had completed mobilization by late September 1914, but they would not have finished moving units to the needed theaters before very late November 1914, and by...

  3. Conrad Waits V. 2.0: An Ottoman Perspective

    This thread will be a companion thread to Wiking's Conrad thread. It will generally lag Wiking's threads by a few months since it is largely an analysis of butterflies from Austria doing better and Italy not joining the war. Initially there will be almost no butterflies, but overtime, I expect...

  4. WI: Verdun goes as EvF Intel Reports

    Due to the rotation of French Divisions, Falkenhayn thought he was inflicting more French casualties than the French were actually taking. So what if battle had been as EvF thought. The French were taking 1.5 dead for each Germany. I have seen a wide variety of estimates for total dead in...

  5. Background on Battle of Jutland, August 1914

    I am looking at writing a very short TL focusing on a major sea battle fought in August 1914 between the High Seas Fleet and the Grand Fleet. It might have some obvious followup battles or butterflies, but it would not be a full WW1 TL. The POD will be a German Naval War Plan to seek a...

  6. WI: Zeppelin with "Aerial Torpedo"

    I was reading a Scientific America from the early WW1 days, and it though Zeppelins with "Aerial Torpedoes" could sink capital ships. While we know precision guided bombs are beyond the 1910's technology, what would have happened if the Kaiser had approved a R&D program in 1910 for such...

  7. WI: Scuttled ships in Suez in WW1

    WI: Scuttled ships in Suez in WW1 At the outbreak of the WW1, there were several German merchant ships in the Suez Canal. What if 4 of these ocean going merchant ships had scuttled the ships in the main shipping channel of the Canal? What would be the impact on the first part of the war...

    Prince Henry of Prussia: The Rise of U-Boat. The little boats that save Germany Copywrite 1995 "The Great War fundamentally changed the the face of Europe, and began the German Century. As the war fades from living memory to the history books, most school children learn about the...

  9. Background for TL : Kaiser falls in love with U-boats, 1908

    I am gather information for a possible time line where the Kaiser falls in love with U-boats, and German enters WW1 with about 100 U-boats. This will be my first time line, and i am not a sailor or naval architect. Please try to keep this in mind when you make comments. I plan to keep setup...

  10. A bit more neutral USA in 1915

    I have been reading some of the diplomatic notes between the USA and Germany/UK. Some of the German positions from a modern perspective do not seems so unreasonable, so what if on January 1, 1915, the following terms were agreed to between the Germany and the USA. 1) German will not fire...
