About a month ago I made a post related to my brainstorming PODs for a timeline about pre and post-WW2 Britain. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-possibility-of-a-change-in-british-government-during-ww2.552093/ In short that post’s idea ran aground in relation to the premise of...

Regardless I would still like to ask about and brainstorm any potential for changes of government in wartime Britain, seeing as I haven’t found any previous posts discussing that topic.

Hi everyone, so, my question is simple. After Boris III died he was succeeded by a regency council. during the Bagryanov government the pm tried to exit the war by being neutral and trying to keep some land to no avail and ultimately need all when the september coup was made and Bulgaria was...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_F._Cantasano https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Zangara Cantasano kills Churchill and Zangara shoots FDR dead? Now, in a world where Churchill/FDR are never PM/President, we have different people involved in 1938/1939, although even this is still by no...

As it says on the tin. What must happen for Churchill to adopt communism? What experiences?

Nevermind the reasons (which have been litigated at length here, please do feel free to add your thoughts there). Say the Tories win the 1945 general election. I think it's fairly obvious to everyone (with the possible exception of Churchill) that India will be getting independence in short...

Reading Nick Smart's The National Government 1931-40, in the wave of optimism that followed the signing of the Munich Agreement Neville Chamberlain seriously considered calling a snap General Election, and both the press and Labour Party expected him to call a snap poll within months. Eventually...

Alright guys, this is my first timeline. I have a rough outline for what I'd like to do, but I'd like feedback, both on the concept and on what I have so far. POD: 1944. Tories realize that the coalition isn't going to continue after the war, and start working on an actual alternative domestic...

Let Us Win Through Together a British Politics Wikibox tl by gaitskellitebevanite Chapter 1 Labour’s victory in the June 1950 election is now considered a foregone conclusion, but Labour was not always likely to win a second term. Opinion polls through 1948 and 1949 were bleak...

To the East, to the Death, to the Struggle 1st September, 1914 With war not even a month ago, the coordination of the French and British forces was important. Together in Paris were the men who would kickstart the Allied war effort, or most of it rather: - Field Marshal Horatio Kitchener...

I'm planning out an SI which is slightly different from normal and putting background information together to use in the story. Wanted to know if anyone has an idea what closr friends called Churchill - was it just Winston? Another question - if a storyline is likely to be "enhanced" what do...

For decades, historians have debated just what the Allies could have done to stop the Holocaust. In your judgement, what actions could the Allies have taken in order to end (or at the least limit) the atrocities committed by the Nazis?

The British Election of 1945 is one of the most famous upsets in political history: despite Winston Churchill's popularity the Tories lost in a landslide. Was there any way the Tories could've won in 1945?

Churchill wins the election in 1945 over Clement Attlee. He was a man who was very fond of the Empire, and not so fond of giving colonies their independence. What goes down with Indian independence? Can he successfully resist their demands? If a war of independence breaks out due to British...

i have no idea if this was done, but say the Yalta conference happened later and FDR died a little sooner. How would Truman be at Yalta with Stalin and Churchill? Would he still have Stalin declare war on Japan or decide not to? What else would change?

This site offers an IMHO very good recollection/natation of the events around and leading to Britains participation in the Great War. However ... no answer that might not lead to fiurther questions. There is some events descibe for 1st August late(er) evening : " Churchill dined alone at the...

OTL Churchill is known as having an american mother, having a like of america itself and seeking to connect Britain more closely with the US, special relationship ect. However he was a great lover of the british empire, hardly the embodiment of american values. In this timeline by the time...

Hardly any British politician wanted an immediate general election after the defeat of Germany. Churchill wanted to continue the all-party coalition war government until the defeat of Japan; while hardly anyone wanted such a blank check, Attlee and many other politicians argued to wait the...

So we all know how FDR died almost as soon as his 4th term began, but what if he lived to see his 4th term all the way through (or at least, most of the way). Because I have heard that FDR was sympathetic towards the Viet Minh in Indochina and was a staunch Anti-Colonialist, which made things...
