  1. West Berlin Lost Without WW3

    Well the soviets could just not allow the western allies into the city in the first place. Though that would probably lead to an earlier cold war. The line of contact might become the new border between East and West in Europe (mainly differences in Austria and Germany). Also the Soviets might...

  2. Prussia annexes Danish West India in 1864

    Prussian West Indies have two (already stated) problems: In 1864 Prussia didn’t want a far of colony if it could get even an inch more of Schleswig. And later on Britain and the US wouldn’t allow over a German colony in that area. So I can think of two possible (though not very likely) ways of...

  3. WI Alternate split of Austria-Hungary in 1919 .

    The modern county of Istria You are right though it went through the Austrian Littoral, but then again IF you give Austria the part of Krain promised to Italy then adding this minor strip of land to the Free State of Fiume shouldn't be too difficult to explain. Again correct, but then again its...

  4. WI Alternate split of Austria-Hungary in 1919 .

    There are 3 main problems I see here: Why should the Slovenians want to stay with Austria? To deal with this you basically need the Habsburgs to remain in power (so Austria doesn't become German-Austria). You need to deal with the May Declaration (maybe haveJanez Evangelist Krek die earlier)...

  5. WI: The battle of Dogger Bank leads to open war between Britain and Russia?

    True, sorry kinda got hung up on your first sentence. What I wanted to point out was, that in 1905 Russia was the prefered ally over Britain by Bülow and Wilhelm.

  6. WI: The battle of Dogger Bank leads to open war between Britain and Russia?

    OTL disagrees with you. Germany was very much interested in spliting Russia from France.

  7. WI: The battle of Dogger Bank leads to open war between Britain and Russia?

    I don’t think open war is a likely result from the Dogger Bank incident. Neither Britain nor Russia wanted/gained from it. There is though the possibility of a different outcome: OTL the Russians had to avoid the Suez canal, pay a bit of money and say sorry. In an ATL it is quite possible...

  8. What if The US was able to export equally during WWI

    Article 1. A blockade must not extend beyond the ports and coasts belonging to or occupied by the enemy. The Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark were not allowed to import whatever they wished for during the North Sea blockade. It certainly made sense to establish pre-war quotas for neutrals to...

  9. AHC: Germany and Russia team up to dismantle Austria-Hungary

    Look at OTL they had no territorial disputes, but Germany not wanting to let Russia dominate the Balkans post 1878 broke their alliance apart. Stop Russia from being so supportive of pan slavism in the Balkans and the two of them can be allied. I always think the problem lies deeper. Both...

  10. AHC: Germany and Russia team up to dismantle Austria-Hungary

    Well that makes it harder. Splitting Austria-Hungary only weakens the German position. For example: Even only “losing” Galicia directly to the Russians would secure the Polish Salient and greatly endanger eastern Prussia (East/West Prussia; Posen; Brandenburg; Silesia) in case of a war. And...

  11. AHC: Germany and Russia team up to dismantle Austria-Hungary

    Wrong forum or do you mean earlier instead of later?

  12. US reaction to German West Indies post Venezuela Crisis (early 20th century)

    Bumping once If anyone is having trouble imaging/believing the background, I would be glad for any answers concerning the US and possible german caribbean colonies in the early 20th century.

  13. US reaction to German West Indies post Venezuela Crisis (early 20th century)

    Backround: In 1907 Denmark finally recognized the northern Schleswig border (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optantenvertrag) basically giving up their claim to a referendum in Northern Schleswig which had been promised in 1866 (Treaty of Prague). What if through changed circumstances Denmark...

  14. American Chinese Concession Territory in China

    Sanmen bay (the Italians tried to take that in OTL and failed) or Zhoushan in Zhejiang. Dont quote me on this, but I think I read somewhere that the Americans where most interested in the area between Shanghai and Taiwan (and had conflicts of interest with the japanese).

  15. Paul von Hindenburg dies in Koeniggrätz battle 1866

    While I agree that a CP loss is still more likely than not I think this simplifies WW1 too much. Ludendorff's rise through the German Army ranks during WW1 is close to ASB. I think that Hindenburg being dead would probably not allow Ludendorff to become the defacto leader of Germany in 1917...

  16. AHC: Austria and Hungary separate states with personal union by 20th century

    Two ideas: 1) The Hungarian demands in 1848 where basically for a PU (separate government, separate army). Problem I see here is that a more successful 1848 revolution would probably not create the OTL split (Hungarians and Croatians were fighting) and lead to huge european butterflies. 2)...

  17. Northern and Southern Germany Remain Seperate

    Very hard, as a direct result of Prussia's victory in 1866 it forced the south german states into defensive alliances (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutz-_und_Trutzb%C3%BCndnis) and reformed the Zollverein (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zollverein) into a supranational organisation. Thus...

  18. Serbian Counteroffensive in 1915

    Also, when thinking about Serbian offensives, in mid 1915 the Bulgarians were sitting on the fence. Any Serbian defeat while attacking Austria could have brought them into the war earlier than OTL.

  19. Which WWI peace treaty was harsher?Versailles or Brest-Litovsk?

    The baltic states were <10% Russian in 1920. The "Anschlussverbot" was part of both Versailles and Saint-Germain. In that sense I feel justified taking it into account when talking about the harshness of Versailles. Edit: All I am citing here is only important to harshness when taking into...

  20. Which WWI peace treaty was harsher?Versailles or Brest-Litovsk?

    1) We don't have Kangoroos :rolleyes: 2) Part of Versailles was still that Austria (which wanted at that point in time) was not allowed to unite with Germany. 3) True, still doesn't change the fact that being landlocked increased Austrian desire to unite with Germany, as the population didn't...
