PART ONE: "SCHACHMATT" [...] in any case, the report that Chancellor Dollfuss had been near-fatally shot came as a shock to Mussolini, whose wife was at that very moment entertaining the Dollfus family at Riccione on the Adriatic. The possibility of a putsch had been downplayed by the Servizio...

With a Point of Divergence after Pearl Harbor, your challenge is to ensure that the final surrender of an Axis power comes not from Japan, as it historically was in September 2nd 1945, but from Germany. This can be done by either extending the lifespan of the European Axis powers, or by ensuring...

My Idea would be that either the OTL Axis have a limited victory WW2 (borderline ASB) or that under a different leadership there is a different war resulting in a limited victory (Example would be Webers Germany ). Or maybe even that simply Italy stays neutral during WW2 but with a POD no...

What if the Soviets are defeated but the Third Reich still looses to America, United Kingdom, Free France and others ? Consequences I can see : the Caucasus is thrown into chaos probably, regardless if the Germans have broke through the Mountains or not. Ukraine is free but the first to take...

Including countries that changed sides like Italy, Romania and Bulgaria. If the main participants (USSR,USA,UK and France) defeat Germany and Japan in any month of 1944 and in the minuscle chance they be willing to share what leftovers are available, what would they have at their disposal ? I am...

While an Axis USSR is a very popular (if not outright overused) trope, there is little discussion about both USSR and USA being German Allies. So, here is my scenario: The first PoD is that Poles are even more successful during the Soviet-Polish war and manage to gain more land than OTL during...

What would happen if the Axis countries extensively cooperated on technology, shared it between themselves (such as aviation,naval and weapons technology and their schematics/plans/blueprints)? Were there any serious proposals before and during the war?

In this scenario the US doesn't enter WW2 and the Germans reach the Ural mountains. This leaves the UK as the only enemy of the Reich. Can the British do anything in this scenario? Would they accept peace or just keep fighting in Africa and maybe harass the Kriegsmarine. I imagine the Germans...

In WWII, Italy and Nazi German were allies along with Japan, to form their own New Roman Empire that would turn the Mediterranean into a Italian Lake, and annex half of Africa . However, as some of us have read about, the Nazis really didn’t have a high opinion on the Italians as a race, and the...

Something i thought about it last night, i've always lurked here and seem those "improve x by y year" or "best possible equipment for x", but how about the worst? Since i basically know nothing on logistics or doctrine, let's focus on equipment. Axis or Allies Bonus if either one gets to fight...

Can Romania survive intact after the WW2 and maybe end up neutral or pro-West after the war?

(ooc: pretty sure this is the right chat for it) Anyways, this is an idea I've been toying with for a while now. Basically, the Axis Powers roll all sixes on all fronts of the war like in Man in the High Castle but with one major difference: Hitler decides against going to war with the Soviets...

As well all know, the USSR, formerly Russia, was not too happy about losing all that territory in Eastern Europe. This led to their infamous alliance with Nazi Germany that only stayed together thanks to the fact both nations wanted that parts of Poland that belonged to them before 1914. Japan...

As we know, World War II was fought between two globe-spanning alliances: the Allies (primarily the Unites States of America, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, Free Bulgaria, and Argentina) and the Axis. The latter was made up of all the fascist powers in the world, from Mouvement France to...

Basically the title, would it be possible for Germany or another axis powers to manufacture a war between the western allies and the Soviet Union? Thought of this question when I wondered what the allied response would be to a German DOW on Finland during the winter war. Given allied response...

I confess that I came with the idea of this thread after reading about Adna Chaffee Jr. because of a strategy game. In OTL he was not able to fight in WWII as he died in 1941, but what if he did? In Germany August Von Mackensen died in 1945 and I sure that Britain and France had old guard...

What if Petain, in a Mussolini-esque move, declares war on the UK following operation catapult, believing that Britain is going to be invaded by Germany shortly anyway and that the new regime will have more legitimacy/prestige with the citizens if it has a one or two military victories under its...

Simply put, a version of the Second World War where Iberia is more heavily involved than Franco simply supporting the USSR invasion.

How can you get Japan to become communist and China to become fascist before WW2 and keep them in that position during WW2? How much would change in WW2? What would the Second Sino-Japanese War look like, if there is one? How long would Communist Japan last? Discuss. I'm not talking about...
