soviets

Overall, most people on this forum think that should the Nazis either not exist or not succeed as a movement, the Weimar Republic would still fall to some kind of militaristic right-wing nationalist and revanchist regime (Notzis/Kaiserboos are not what I have in mind, these tropes are just lazy...

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...

Yes it's pretty much ASB. However it's funny to speculate. What if the war ended with the soviets still stuck in the Oder and on the outskirts of Budapest? Berlin still gets encircled at the very end by the soviets, but the western side is besieged by a British army group. Patton smiles at Konev...

Just something I thought would make for a good timeline What if Eva Braun, Hitlers wife in 1945, failed to die by suicide via cyanide, and was captured by the soviets? She then somehow escapes to west Germany where she dies from exhaustion soon after arriving. Her son then grows up and...

Chapter I - The Great Expropriation of 1907 “This is not peace. This is an armistice for twenty years.” - Ferdinand Foch The Great War: The Long Shadow of 1914, David Reynolds Of all the wars of the 20th century, none have had a greater impact than the Great War of 1914[1]. The Great War has...

Hello all! A while back I posted a couple threads on which “third world” countries could have plausibly gone fascist or communist. The idea of a three way Cold War has always been interesting to me; as it was the Cold War saw extensive political maneuvering, espionage plots, warfare, and...

What if the Baltic countries had denied Soviet annexation and fight to the bitter end, what would happen? Did they get any help from Western armies? How long could they survive?

This is my new Alternate history scenario set during the cold war, the point of divergence is in 1902 when George Marshall is killed during his service in the Philippines, this leads to no Marshall plan being put into effect and Communism Pushing Farther into Europe. The second point of...

I want to explore the long term economic effects of the NEP and how this alternate form of communism influence interacts/effects the world. Because most of these threads run into the same issues I will address them with two stipulations, the NEP has to not Be removed (different Soviet leadership...

Let's assume that Gorbachev successfully reformed the Soviet Union (through a successful Union Treaty) and retired triumphantly in 1995, after 10 years in power. It is a multi-party democracy still dominated by the Communist Party, which has lost only one Soviet-wide election since 1991. (a la...

With a POD after 1945, what would have to change that would cause a Soviet amphibious invasion of Britain to be a possibility? Is it more likely than Sealion?

I'm listening to the audiobook of "Armor and Blood: the Battle of Kursk" by Dennis Showalter and he mentions how General Vatutin was pressuring Stalin to attack instead of wait for the Germans, as the German Kursk offensive was repeatedly delayed, pushing for an offensive in early July...

I'm pretty sure most people here are familiar with the Palace of the Soviets: A gargantuan structure that gave birth to an entire style of construction known as Stalinist Architecture, and if it had been built would've been the Soviet Union's new administrative center and congress hall for...

Following the fall of the Soviet Union, what if European Russia and Asian Russia divided, into two different countries of Siberia and Eurossiya (Placeholder name)? The reason that obviously didn't happen in our timeline is because Post-Soviet Borders were determined by the SSR and SFSR borders...

http://www.globeatwar.com/article/there-end-us-16th-armored-division%E2%80%99s-liberation-Plzen It seemed that ol' Gen "I Read Your Book!" Patton was quite set on taking the city of Prague right as the uprising there took place and before the Soviets came in. Understandably, the Allied high...

Did the Soviet Union ever consider approaching Taiwan in offering to help subvert the Communist regime in Beijing during the Sino-Soviet conflict? Reviewing the history of the Kuomintang of China, which formed the KMT / Nationalist Party of China that eventually ruled Taiwan, I discovered that...

The League of Nations allows for further occupation of certain Russian lands, in which the allies were currently holding, in order to allow the regrouping of the white army. Even though the Russian people are tired of war, The Allies continue to hold their positions to support the white army...

Would it have been possible for there to have been one between the two? If Cuba still went communist like they did in OTL, what circumstances would have to change for there to be a breakdown in relations between them? It did happen with China and Yugoslavia, though the circumstances between...

Why did the Soviet Union not ask the other members of the Warsaw Pact to participate in the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan? What would it take for them to do so? What would the consequences be?

We all know how this one event in which was a mere exercise by NATO in 1983 convinced the Soviets that it was a ruse for an invasion by NATO and ironically invaded much of NATO and some neutral countries in the process, thus kicking off the 5 year long Third World War and we all know how...
