  1. WI: Britain led/dictate the peace terms of WWII instead of US

    The most likely scenario for this IMO is that Hitler dies sometime between the Fall of France and the Invasion of Russia and a civil war breaks out in Germany because Hitler was the glue of the Third Reich. All his subordinates were power hungry sociopaths and any of them might try and grab the...

  2. PC/WI: The Soviet Unión making a separate peace with an anti-nazi German government after Tehran

    Different circumstances. The Finns didn't prove themselves as untrustworthy as the Germans nor did the Russian people have a big grudge against them. Stalin would want to squeeze as much out of the Germans as possible and that takes time.

  3. PC/WI: The Soviet Unión making a separate peace with an anti-nazi German government after Tehran

    One problem I don't see mentioned is that negotiations would take weeks or months by which time it would be obvious that the Wallies aren't interested in a separate peace.

  4. Does a more lenient Versailles treaty really prevent the rise of Nazism and WW2?

    The last is more about geography than punishment. Easy and West Germany were simply where the front lines were. If it was a Nazi France and the lines somehow ended where they did they still would have wound up as being where most troops were.

  5. Does a more lenient Versailles treaty really prevent the rise of Nazism and WW2?

    My point was that "not wanting to have lost the war " is hardly an explanation. That applies to all losing countries.

  6. Does a more lenient Versailles treaty really prevent the rise of Nazism and WW2?

    No country wants to lose a war, they generally suck it up and go on with life. Something different must have happened.

  7. What if: Argentina Invaded the Falklands on December 7, 1941.

    There is the problem that there wouldn't be an no Argentine Navy by 1944. Even if there was it would be no match for the USN.

  8. What if: Argentina Invaded the Falklands on December 7, 1941.

    Strongly agree, there isn't a chance in a million that the US Public doesn't see this as a backstabbing move by Argentina. The Falklands will be close to top of the list after reinforcing Pearl Harbor.

  9. Poland remains communist despite Soviet collapse?

    This is the problem in a nutshell. The Soviet backed regimes looked like collaborators to Soviet colonialism.

  10. How to keep trains as popular in North America as they are in Europe

    And population density.. Both have considerably larger populations.

  11. AHC: Have the Whites winning the Russian Civil War result in something far worse than the Soviet Union

    Sorry, but no, just no. There were far too many Russian peasants around to even try to attempt this. Such a government would be lucky to last a week.

  12. How to keep trains as popular in North America as they are in Europe

    In 1856 when rails were the most viable means of passenger transport. How does this pertain to 1956 not talking later?

  13. What if Neo-Nazis took over East Germany in 1953?

    The vast majority who wanted to "die for Hitler" already did. After all they had plenty of opportunities to do so. Also starting a party <> "willingness to die for it", Note he died in 1997 of old age not by gloriously dying for a "Fourth Reich"!

  14. Anti China North Korea

    NK falls as no great power is backing them.

  15. AHQ: Quebec votes for independence in 1995, what next?

    Because said Anglos have skills? Unless you assume no Anglos have skills their leaving will mean a flight of skills. I would assume some French speakers would also leave both because not all French speakers want independence from Canada and because the depression in Quebec would be far worse...

  16. PC/AHC: Delayed WWI - Can Imperial Germany go Nazi?

    There is one easy way to find out @CalBear would you have a problem with this? I think it would be less likely to be flame bait then they seem to think but you would know better than me.

  17. What if Neo-Nazis took over East Germany in 1953?

    The real Nazi fanatics were dead by this time. What you had left weren't willing to die for it, why would they now all of a sudden.

  18. Kingdom of Yugoslavia survives

    The moment it didn't help them. Note that it certainly didn't apply to Communist countries. The Baltic Republics would have been independent for one.

  19. If Italy was neutral during WWII, what concessions would the allies be willing to give up to bribe them to join their side?

    True, but they were money losers IIRC so not much for them to give up.

  20. Legacy of Ebert: The survival of the Weimar Republic
    Threadmarks: CKS backs off a bit

    Jan 10,1961 Alarmed at US-Japanese talks CKS proposes a naval limitation treaty between itself and Japan to take place in DC. The US and Japan quickly agree to talks. Feb 3, 1961 CKS initiates talks with Russia to cool things down there as well. Russia and China soon recall troops from the...
