  1. Which would be more eventful? Barbarossa survives to the Levant or doesn't go on Crusade?

    Basically Barbarossa managed to achieve an unseen level of central authority and order to the Holy Roman Empire. Shortly after he proceeded to join the 3rd Crusade with a massive army. However unfortunately for him he would drown while crossing a river causing most of his army to return home...
  2. How to Help the United Arab Republic

    I imagine it would do better than Iraq did OTL what with more men to throw at the Iranians and more aircraft.
  3. How to Help the United Arab Republic

    I can see them going for Khuzestan in the chaos but I can't see them wanting a powerful Shia extremist in power in Iran vs the Shah.
  4. How to Help the United Arab Republic

    I can not imagine them being close to allies. But depending on the UAR size its economy could dwarf that of Saudi Arabia. I also don't see why it would necessarily stop the oil crisis. Changing markets could drive the price of oil down but if there is less conflict there is less to slow the...
  5. How to Help the United Arab Republic

    Depending on the speed of its rise could it have helped stop the Islamic Revolution in Iran? And would Saudi Arabia be allowed to exist if it continued to funnel money to radicals in those Arab states?
  6. How to Help the United Arab Republic

    As we know the United Arab Republic had a lot of promise but fell apart in 1961 after tension rose between Syria and Egypt. The former understandably saw themselves being sidelined by Nasser and Egyptian political leaders. My question is how could the United Arab Republic have survived longer...
  7. WI Decisive Greek Victory in 1974 Cyprus Crisis

    Basically what it says. What would happen if the Greeks were able to decisively defeat the Turks in Cyprus during the 1974 Crisis? Would it have escalated? How might this have happened and what would the future path of Cyprus look like?
  8. How Crucial Was Trafalgar?

    If the French and Spanish won the battle or avoided in entirely could they have used that fleet to start taking out British positions in the Mediterranean? Or renew campaigns in North Africa and other places?
  9. How Crucial Was Trafalgar?

    Would a decisive British defeat have meant lack of support from other nations who would have seen Britain humbled even if it wasn't a win all victory?
  10. How Crucial Was Trafalgar?

    Trafalgar is cited as one of the most important/significant battles in history. But how critical was it? If the French and Spanish achieved victory over Nelson would that have changed much about the Napoleonic Wars or just delayed them? What outcomes could we see from a victorious French/Spanish...
  11. What if Czar Paul I Survives?

    Depending on how time goes Napoleon could be firmly entrenched in power for a long time. The Russians may be confident enough to launch a full attack against the Ottomans if they don't have to worry about the French attacking them. And if Britain is SOL what options does it have for countering...
  12. What if Czar Paul I Survives?

    Would it be unrealistic to form a mutual anti-British understanding between the three over the Egypt? If Britain is caught having conspired to assassinate the Russian Czar it could fuel that anti-British sentiment if the Russians play it well.
  13. What if Czar Paul I Survives?

    Could we see another Napoleonic campaign in coordination with the Russians against the Ottomans? Presumably with Russia essentially allied with Napoleon the mainland nations would be worried about joining any coalition they would stuck in the middle of.
  14. What if Czar Paul I Survives?

    I seem to recall that the two had the idea of at least the Russians launching an attack against India and British territories there. Would Paul have followed through on this or attempt to go after the British Isles or possibly against the Ottoman Empire?
  15. What if Czar Paul I Survives?

    Watching a video on the Battle of Austerlitz the discussion came up about Russia's Paul I and how he was inclined to support the French but he was assassinated by dissidents funded by Great Britain. But I want to know what if he either survived the assassination attempt? Discovered Britain was...
  16. Any way to Get a Native American Ohio

    In OTL the Americans were able to win a victory against the Native Americans that motivated them to continue their war against them and ultimately win Ohio. But I ask would the US have ultimately pushed through and claimed the territory or would a decisive defeat against the natives stem growth...
  17. The Berlin Blockade leads to World War III. Who wins?

    I am curious what sort of territorial transitions would occur after this war. Assuming that the US eventually wins would they push for independent Ukraine and of the Caucasus regions? Expand Poland? Etc
  18. WI: Napoleon does not invade Russia, partitions Turkey with Alexander: geopolitical effects?

    I wonder if Napoleon would create a client Greek nation and what territory he would give it if the Balkans were to fall.
  19. How to make Justinians conquests last longer

    From what I have read it only seems like the reinforcements that came to aid Belesarius were looking to Narses whereas the troops that had been serving under Belasarius were loyal to him. Also avoiding the Persian war by either destroying the goths quickly or killing their king maybe would...
