POD is Sergei Kirov not being assassinated, I know Stalin still could've purged everyone but just assume he doesn't. The Red Army has officers however it still has some other issues such as outdated equipment. I assume the Red Army would be able to conquer Finland ITTL. Would Hitler still launch...

Belgium remains part of the Netherlands. What happens to the Congo? Effects on WW1? Effects on WW2?

Asking for a map I am probably going to make sometime in the future, what are some plausible alternate border settlements in Europe after WW2 given the OTL war? There can be changes as far back as Yalta and other wartime agreements about the state of Europe post-war, but assume that the war goes...

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...

Between Lend-Lease officials in the Soviet Union, as well as Allied and Polish military intelligence in Eastern Europe, let us say discover Hitlerian-style death camps are discovered in the Soviet Union. The Soviets certainly have the means (a dictatorship with a deep ingrained personality cult...

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.

So a friend of mine came across this book, (here's the back of the book and the text of the proposal in English if you don't speak Finnish for whatever reason) which touched on talks about a possible union between Sweden and Finland; where FInland's president and government and president would...

I’m very curious on this because I’ve wondered about how having a liberal southerner being the one to implement the new deal without caring of budget deficits would change how US politics would look like. How much support would he have in congress? if he tried to court pack would southern dems...

Let's say that during the war, the Western part of Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia) was liberated by the Western Allies and non-Communist partisans, while the Eastern part (Serbia, Montenegro, etc.) was liberated by Tito's partisans and the Soviets. Both sides set up their own...

Recently, reading some threads around East Asia in the 19th century, I've came across several points I find interesting, and now I would like to organize these multiple PODs to elaborate a more specific discussion Overall, the main idea is that the Japanese Invade Manchuria as usual during ww2...

I have been looking into a number of threads about Operation Unthinkable as the idea has quite taken me, though something barely anyone seems to touch on is just how long a war between the Western allies and the Soviet Union in 1945 would last... Regardless of whether people believe it would be...

I am currently planning the creation of an alternative line with the topic already mentioned in the title, however I would like to know, in your opinion, what are the most relevant problems or events that the empire would have if it had survived to that date?

I'm new to this forum, but a big fan of those low-effort, synoptic readings of various alternative histories on YouTube. I'm especially fond of the WWII subgenre and have played some strategy games that have peaked my interest in studying 19th century history. I tinkered with this idea for a...

I'm currently writing a TL which has 1940 go to a Contingent Election due to a successful third party challenge against the interventionist Willkie by Isolationist Progressives and against FDR (and later HAW) by Dixiecrats John Nance Garner and other individuals who disliked FDR's third term bid...

I was inspired by this image from r/AlternateHistory and wanted to make a post there where i asked ChatGPT to give me a list of leaders and have the users pick it apart to get a more "realistic" scenario, because the list ChatGPT gave me was this: "Here are leaders for each of the countries...

Let`s say the Netherlands finds itself in Denmark's shoes. Would there be a peace treaty since the nazis were at war with the Netherlands but not with Denmark? What is the fate of the Dutch East Indies? In a scenario where this leads to the United States remaining a non-belligerent, what is the...
