    WI Georges Danton outfoxes Robespierre

    For those who don't know Georges Danton was one of the main leaders of the French Revolution. In a lot of ways he was the hard edge of the Revolution for years, and made a lot of enemies. In the year 1793, these enemies exposed real or at least real-looking acts of corruption by Danton to...

    WI: No Battle of the Nile

    Like the title says, what would be the likely outcome for Napoleon's invasion of Egypt if his fleet wasn't smashed in the Battle of the Nile? He actually gave orders to pull back at the first sign of trouble and Admiral d'Aigalliers ignored him and instead got into a battle he couldn't really...

    Is there any situation where America supports the Vietnamese independence movement?

    So as a lot of you likely know the post-war Vietnamese independence movement, led by men like Ho Chi Minh, was heavily influenced by American ideals and Jeffersonian democratic thinking. Their DOI directly references our own and their original constitution was based on the US as well. During...

    WI Czar Nicholas dies in the Otsu Incident

    Simple little what if, though it has some pretty massive implications down the line. What happens if during the Otsu incident Czar Nicholas is killed, either because the first strike is fatal or because the follow-up attack isn't stopped? If Nicholas died his brother Michael would become the...

    WI No Chernobyl Incident

    Like the title says what would the likely outcome be if the incident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant didn't happen. I admit not having a deep understanding of either the event or it's fallout to give any real answer and would love to see the possibilities given by people who do. Would it mean the...

    WI Batman Mask of the Phantasm was Sucessful?

    Basically what it says on the tin. To those who don't know, Batman:Mask of the Phantasm was a major animated film based of the very successful Batman Animated Series. However when it was released into theaters it had almost no advertising and flopped hard. It did however receive major critical...

    WI No Leclerc expedition

    So I was listening to the Revolutions podcast (which I highly recommend along with the History of Rome series) and during the Haitian revolution the host talked about how Napoleon considered the Leclerc expedition to be one of his biggest regrets. The expedition was sent to essentially wrest...

    WI Rome falls in the 3rd century

    So the years of 235 to 284 were really not kind to the Roman Empire. Nearly bankrupt, facing internal strife, external invasion, plague, and near total collapse of the bureaucracy Rome honestly shouldn't have recovered. At one point it was even split into three different empires, the Gallic...

    WI Nero abandons Britian

    So I was listening to the History of Rome podcast and the speaker mentioned that the size of Boudica's revolt and it's early success in taking Camulodunum made many in Rome consider abandoning the island. So let's say that the battle of Watling Street either ends in a rout for the Romans, or...

    Wrestling WIs

    So having seen a few Pro Wrestling what ifs pop up in recent weeks I figure it'd make a lot of sense to just have one massive thread to use for all the what ifs. Feel free to post and discuss any ideas that you have as well as short timeline possibilities. I'll start: What if Roman Reigns...

    WI Russo stays with WWF

    As title says what would be the ramifications if Russo doesn't jump ship to WCW in '99? It's widely accepted that Russo's "creative" booking worsened WCW's fall, if not one of the leading causes. So if he stays with WWF would WCW be able to last? Or was WCW destined to fail without Russo?

    WI Anne Boleyn dies 1528

    What would happen if Anne Boleyn dies in 1528 from the sweating sickness? IOT she caught the illness but managed to survive. It's prior to Henry's divorce but at that point him and Catherine were on the outs. Does Henry still push for the divorce and seek a new wife or stay with Catherine?

    WWF WI: What if Brian Pillman didn't die

    Like the title says what do you think the 90's would look like had Brian Pillman hadn't died? Either he never develops his heart condition or it is found and treated. Does he feud at the top of the card or does he run his course?
