  1. Operation Felix, a German victory.

    From Crete the Germans could stage an airborne invasion of Cyprus. Only a small British garisson exists with little equipment in 1941. Cyprus could be used to stage airborne operations into Syria and Palestine, Germany would would then be able to surround the British in Egypt. A Luftwafe base in...

  2. Operation Felix, a German victory.

    Perhaps Gibralter isn't the best choice for launching a Mediterranean operation but there are alternatives. Plus without a huge dedication of troops on the eastern front, a lot of divisions will be sent to NA for this invasion. It wouldn't be the number of soldiers in NA as in OTL.

  3. Operation Felix, a German victory.

    I imagine the Soviets invading in early 1942 after Japan has already brought America into the war. This would only serve to embolden the idea of a Soviet pre-emptive strike. At this point, Britain would be crippled and Hitler would intend to initiate operation Barbarossa in the spring or summer...

  4. Operation Felix, a German victory.

    My thinking is that through Gibralter, the Germans can launch an invasion of NA and into the middle east, to cripple Britain's oil supplies. Taking Gibralter cuts off allied shipping in Mediterranean so supplies can be shipped to the German army in the middle east. The shipment of raw goods from...

  5. Operation Felix, a German victory.

    From what I've read, Turkey wasn't very interested in working with the Germans but anything can change given the circumstances, such as a vast German army on your doorstep. An alternative would of course be Persia.

  6. Operation Felix, a German victory.

    Hello all, I am currently working on a timeline for a German victory in Europe during the second world war. Now I know that this has been done to death, trust me I know, however, I am more interested in writing short stories for this particular POD in modern times and farther in the future. I...

  7. Roman Restoration

    Given that Emperor Justinian's dreams of "renovatio imperii", the restoration of the Roman Empire, died with him, what factors could have led to his empire surviving his death? From the reading I've done ive come to the conclusion that: 1: The plague of Justinian cannot happen. 2: Maurice...

  8. Would romance languages exist if Rome never fell?

    I know throughout the Roman Empire different dialects of Vulgar Latin existed, separate from Classical Latin, that the common people spoke. But had the Roman Empire survived to his day would there be any resemblance to French in Gaul or Italian in Italy?

  9. Why did democracy only develop in Ancient Greece?

    Apologies for my ignorance! As someone who likes to claim to know quite a bit about history I was pretty dumbfounded to find out just how many cultures really did develop these ideas! After all Prime Minister, Parliament, House of [insert here] are all English terms not Greek. Point being I...

  10. Why did democracy only develop in Ancient Greece?

    So then is the idea of "republicanism" a western concept? Also what is your opinion on a scenario like this? (http://antiikki.taivaansusi.net/?page_id=167 ) Could those Chinese kingdoms have developed a system of modern democracy without influence from Athenian democracy?

  11. Why did democracy only develop in Ancient Greece?

    Why didn't anyone else in the world, be it the Chinese or the Muslims, develop a system of democracy?

  12. PLO takes control of Jordan in Black September?

    Perhaps if the United Arab Republic had succeeded in the 60s then by 1970 Egypt and Syria would be far more willing to fight along side the PLO in overthrowing King Hussein. But that opens up many, many more questions.. like how could the UAR have survived in the first place? And what if...

  13. PLO takes control of Jordan in Black September?

    As someone who grew up in Jordan and clearly knowledgeable on the subject, what do you think it would take to bring Syria and Egypt or even Iraq to fight alongside the PLO in overthrowing the Jordanian monarchy?

  14. PLO takes control of Jordan in Black September?

    I've been doing quite the research for my upcoming graphic novel based around just this topic but as this has never been explored, as far as I could tell, my research fell short. At this point all I have is general ideas.. So as it stands my POD is: The Syrian Air Force is used to cover Syrian...

  15. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    The Red Eagle Awakens. Yen is the global reserve currency. The legendary Roman Empire is a second rate power surpassed in might by the United States of Beikoku (an alternate version of America founded by Imperial Japan). One may look back at the history of the world and wonder hows things...

  16. World in Conflict - Lebanon War escalation.

    What do you think of my redone timeline?

  17. World in Conflict - Lebanon War escalation.

    [Redone] World in Conflict [Redone]World in Conflict .................... Following the Arab-Israeli war of 1967, Jordan became the home to over a million Palestinian refugees, abandoning their settlements in the West Bank and Golan Heights, in effect setting the stage for the future...

  18. World in Conflict - Lebanon War escalation.

    Would it be likely that Syria, Jordan, and Egypt would form a military alliance with each other, maybe like a Cairo Pact? I also wonder how something like this would alter the geopolitics of the middle east during the 1970s and 1980s..

  19. World in Conflict - Lebanon War escalation.

    This has all been very helpful, thank you. So with all this in mind had the PLO overthrown King Hussein in 1971 does that mean the "Lebanon war" would be the "Jordan war?" If this is the case Jordan has very different geography from Lebanon and I imagine that would drastically change how the war...

  20. World in Conflict - Lebanon War escalation.

    No nuclear war in my timeline. After all no one wants to destroy the world, its easy to say you'll nuke the other nation into oblivion but its a very different story to actually do it.
