  1. AH challenge: contest of the Middle Age superpowers

    Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pick a scenario where at least two, much better three, multi-national and basically territorially-continous centralized Christian empires form in the High-Low Middle Ages or the Early Modern Age in Europe, stay together up to modern times...

  2. WI Hitler's Paneuropean African Lebenstraum

    This is an idea I got while discussing the Fatherland TL, but might deserve its own discussion. Assume that in the 1923-1940 period, Hitler's geopolitical and racist views gradually shift to the following: a) He is more inclusive in his racism: he deems and preaches that while Germans are a...

  3. Different Congress of Vienna: Poland to Russia, Germany to Prussia, Italy to Austria

    An idea that occurred to me while discussing another PoD. What if the outcome of the Congress of Vienna is changed so that Prussia becomes the dominant power within united federal Germany and Austria the dominant power within united federal Italy and Russia gets almost all of Poland ? Prussia...

  4. WI Franco-Spanish-American War in 1898 (different European alliances)

    An idea that we have been developing for a future TL. What if France (and A-H, but I guess that France would be the main divergence factor here) takes the side of Spain in the Spanish-American War ? ITTL France, Spain, and A-H have been the Entente, whileas Germany, Russia, and Italy the...

  5. DBWI: Could the bombing of Liverpool and Glasgow been avoided ?

    A question that has haunted the historians since the end of WWII, during the Long Drum Roll between the anticolonialist USA and the imperialist European Union, could the nuclear bombing of Liverpool and Glasgow have been avoided ? Was the use of nukes truly necessary to force the Guardist regime...

  7. Sociopolitical and cultural-technological progress of China if Rome survives

    Hello, this is meant to be a sister thread to an existing one where the issue of which sociopolitical and cultural-technological developments would have occurred in the Roman Empire if it had survived. This instead focuses on the Chinese side of the issue. The main assumption is that this is...

  8. Trigger point for GRI/BFAHOE WWI

    A recent thread (here) has been discussing the strategic developments of this alt-WWI lineup, but I thought it might be interesting also discuss what the trigger point for this WWI lineup might be, as well as any significant butterfly, if any, that might occur between the PoD and beginning of...

  9. Sociopolitical and Cultural progress if Roman Empire survives

    An issue that has been often touched upon, but never discussed to my satisfaction, in similar threads, is what pace the social, political, cultural, scientific, and technological progress would take in a world where the Roman Empire as a political unity never collapses to the present and expands...

  10. Valkyrie successful: a different Cold War

    July 1944: the Valkurie conspiracy succeeds in killing Hitler and arresting or killing the top echelons of the Nazi hierarchy. The Heer rank and file, the state bureaucracy, and the large majority of the Waffen-SS give their allegiance to the new government, there are some pockets of resistance...

  11. If Bismarck had an epiphany...

    Sometime in the 1870s, German Chancellor Bismarck awoke one night with a sweat. In a nightmare, he had foreseen the future: the inevitable collapse of his carefully-wowen diplomatic web to isolate France, owning to Russo-British rivalry, the isolation of the Empire owning to misguided naval...

  12. WI a Russo-German-Italian Triple Alliance ?

    Continuing the exploration of better Alliance deals for the German Empire in WWI, it is the turn of the other obvious choice, Russia. ITTL a Russo-German-Italian Alliance block solidifies vs. an Anglo-French-Austrian-Ottoman Entente, later possibly joined by the British and the Japanese...

  13. WI an Anglo-German-Italian Triple Alliance ?

    Let's assume (PoD the survival of Kaiser Friederich III, which leads to liberal reforms at home and friendly relations with Britain) the ATL Edwardian age sees the emergence of a solid Anglo-German-Italian Alliance. The new German leadership ditches the plans for the HSF and signs trade and...

  14. A Different Treaty of Versailles

    EDIT: Added partition of Belgium, Polish annexation of Lithuania. PoD: at the drafting of the Versailles and St. Germain treaties, the Allies realize that effective demilitarization, not punitive territorial losses, are the best way to safeguard French national security against Germany, and...

  15. A different Treaty of Versailles

    Wrong forum, I apologize, please delete. Sorry.

  16. Religion if Rome survives

    This is the spinoff of an ongoing thread, and something that in my knowledge has not been well explored by AH. If the Roman Empire does survive into modern times, what happens to the world's main religions ? The PoD assumes that the Roman Empire survives as a strong and vital unitary entity...

  17. Strategy for a Reverse WWII

    This thread is a shameless fishing for strategic ideas (I'm at ease with developing the political aspects, but I welcome suggestions about the military aspects of the war) about the following scenario, which I'm presently developing: a post-Hitler moderate fascist-authoritarian Germany and...

  18. The shot that changed Europe

    From Dark Messiahs: Europe and the Age of Charismatic Dictators, Oxford Press, 2008. "It is widely recognized nowadays that the assassination of Adolf Hitler in late 1938 represents a defining moment of European history in the late Century. Academic history has been debating for decades...

  19. WI Iraq wins the Iran-Iraq war

    Your scenario, should you choose to accept it, is a clear defeat of Khomeinist Iran in the Iran-Iraq war.

  20. 1939: unholy alliance

    Inspired by current discussion over the "Poland attacks first" scenario. Your scenario: in August-September 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union make it clear beyond any reasonable doubt that they are together in the solution of the Polish crisis according to their interests. They...
