  1. Germany without Austria-Hungary in WWI - are they better off?

    The POD is that there is no asassination of the Austrian Archduke in 1914. In its place, Kaiser Wilhelm II stages a false flag attack (just as Hitler would later do when he started WWII) on Belgium and France. Similar to OTL, this leads to Russia and the United Kingdom joining France and Belgium...

  2. Korean and Chinese Reunification during the Korean War

    During the Korean War, the US and China cut a deal. Beijing would permit UN forces to cross the Yalu River, and eliminate the North Korean regime, and allow Korea to be reunified under the Republic of Korea. The carrot for Mao is that China would be allowed to retake Taiwan, and that the US...

  3. PC: US Decolonisation

    Post WWII decolonisation is most commonly associated with European powers like Britain, France, Portugal and others giving up their colonies. However, the US also possessed a large set of colonies, and to this day, American overseas possessions are relatively large in population and area...

  4. Would Economic Sanctions work against the Central Powers in 1914?

    In the aftermath of the July Crisis, Serbia rejects Austria-Hungary's ultimatum following the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Austria-Hungary then declares war on Serbia, as does Kaiser Wilhelm II in a show of support for his ally. Russia's Tsar Nicholas II, in an incredibly rare and...

  5. Could Japan have won WWII if the US had mismanaged like Mussolini?

    IOTL the Pacific War in WWII is seen as a lost cause for Japan in which they had no hope of defeating the US. But what is the US military and economy during the war was poorly managed like Fascist Italy IOTL? The POD is the Great Depression. ITTL, the US government adopts "Corporatism" as its...

  6. Allies don't declare war on Germany in September 1939, what happens?

    What would be Hitler's strategy if the Allies did not promise to defend Poland and did not intervene when Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939? Let's say Hitler and Stalin partition Poland as per OTL. We all know that Hitler's dream was to conquer the USSR, but even a neutral France and Britain...

  7. AH: US reaction to a country other than the USSR launching the 1st satellite

    IOTL, the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial space satellite, causing the "Sputnik Crisis" in the US, and triggering the space race and a wave of space exploration that still cannot be matched to this day. What would be the implications to space exploration (especially from a US...

  8. Germans capture Paris in 1914, end of WWI?

    If the Germans had won the Battle of the Marne and went on to capture Paris in 1914, would this have ended WWI? Many people thought the war would be a short war, whether it led to an Allied or CP victory. On the other hand, the strong sense of nationalism in that era might have made it...

  9. PC: More Countries Involved in the "Scramble for Africa"

    IOTL Africa was partitioned between 7 European powers, with two countries remaining independent. Could any other countries have been involved in the Scramble for Africa? The United States annexing Liberia is probably the most plausible POD. Any others?

  10. PC: WAllies fight on the Eastern Front in WWII

    There was disagreement among the WAllies IOTL about invading Italy, while in the mean time Stalin was pressuring the WAllies to contribute more against the Germans. If the invasion of Italy is somehow butterflied away or delayed, could the WAllies have sent several hundred thousands troops to...

  11. What would the US do if Hitler didn't declare war?

    One thing that fascinates me, although sources are hard to find as it was only a 4 day period in history, was the time between the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941, and Hitler and Mussolini's declaration of war on the US on 11 December 1941. Roosevelt and Churchill must have...

  12. Confederate States at the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup

    If the CSA survived, what would they look like in global sports? Would they have sent a team to compete in the first Olympic Games in 1896? Assuming the CSA survives to the present day, where would they be in the Olympic medal count? And would they be able to qualify for the FIFA World Cup...

  13. WI: The USSR joins the Persian Gulf War in 1990-91?

    What if Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev decided that as the USSR was a superpower, and to preserve Soviet superpower status, the UN Coalition that was to attack Iraq had to be led jointly by the USSR and the USA? With the Soviets taking an active military role in the conflict, would this have...

  14. Germany doesn't invade Belgium in 1914: What does Britain do?

    If Germany respected Belgium's neutrality in 1914 and only invaded France, what would the British response be?

  15. WI:Nationalist China invades Fascist Italy's Concessions?

    In late 1936, Mussolini's Italy recognised Japan's occupation of Manchuria. What if Chiang Kai-shek decided to try to show that both his Nationalists and China were not pushovers (since it was perceived by the other powers as weak) and occupied the Italian concession in Tianjin in retaliation...

  16. WWII: Italy declares war on France, but not on Britain

    What if, during WWII, Italy declared war on France as per OTL, but did not declare war on Britain? Before people say this is impossible, during WWI Italy was at war with Austria-Hungary only, and not Germany, for over a year. What affect would this have, i.e. Would Britain declare war on...

  17. Soviet-Japanese Border Conflicts Escalate to War, Does Hitler invade the USSR early?

    If the Battles of Khalkhin Gol between the USSR and Japan escalate into outright war in from September 1939, would Hitler break the Nazi-Soviet Non Aggression Pact barely after the ink he used to sign the pact had dried?

  18. In a Nazi victory TL, how strong would a Soviet rump state be?

    In the event of a Nazi victory (they conquer the European USSR up to the Urals and make peace with the WAllies), and a Japanese defeat (as per OTL), what's left of the USSR looks like it would still be a considerable power. If say, Stalin and the Soviet leadership fled to the Asian part of the...

  19. How far would a surviving Weimar Republic go to reshaping the international order?

    As it says on the can, if the Weimar Republic survived the Great Depression and the Nazis didn't manage to win power, how far would they go to revising the Treaty of Versailles? Obviously the Weimar Republic wasn't as extreme as the Third Reich and had more moderate goals. From what I...

  20. Challenge: Have Japan retain its 1930 imperial borders with a POD after Pearl Harbour

    As it says on the can, have Japan retain its 1930 imperial borders (i.e. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and its other colonies) with a POD after it attacked Pearl Harbour in 1941. Japan can win, lose or make a compromise peace in WWII but must still keep its original possessions pre 1931. Bonus points...
