The Seven Years War was a watershed moment in European history, cementing the rise of powers like Prussia and Britain while starting France down the death spiral that would go on until the Revolution. OTL, however, the territorial exchanges were all colonial, in part due to Russia and Sweden...

OTL, Korea was the target of Japanese imperialism as the later industrialized and sought to spread out into the seas of Asia and the ripe pickings of China. Your goal is to have Korea be the one to modernize and become the dominant power of east asia (at least until/if china gets its shit...

If Rome never goes about the conquest of britain, but trade with the tribes leads to the spread of Roman technology and ideas of government (not entirely unheard of in parts of germania), which tribes would be the best position to take advantadge of this and form a powerful kingdom in their own...

After the union of crowns in 1603, James I pursued the Scottish and English parliaments to create a political entity that would be an imperial government consisting of both the Scottish and English crowns. This would create a British 'Empire'. Famously James I agreed to keep the English law and...

If the Austrian and British armies (including the Dutch and other foreigners under British command) fought the Russians in Poland in early 1815 (before 100 days), who would win?

otl, queen Elizabeth never married, leading to the country going to the protestant James VI becoming James I of England. But a union of England and the Netherlands has always fascinated me, given that they're the two richest parts of northern Europe since the decline of the Hansa. Perhaps one of...

What if the BEF were somehow defeated even more viciously than they were IOTL's Battle of Mons, perhaps even having their retreat flanked by the Germans and maybe even getting encircled. Could the Germans simultaneously encircle and severely damage or destroy both the BEF and the French Fifth...

What if the Germans take Amiens in the 1918 Kaiserschlacht? How could the Germans take Amiens through Operation Micheal? And would loosing a key link in the British supply chain cause a crisis that knocks France out of the war before the Americans arrive in force?

OTL, France ultimately lost the struggle for India to Britain. in the 7 years war. But sometimes the best way to win a game is not to play. So, what if instead of trying to grab India against the British, Paris focused on getting Indonesia/monopolizing the spice trade against Portugal or the...

To address the modded in elephant in the room, I think Kaiserreich, much like base HoI4 nerfs the victors of ww1 in the interest of storytelling and gameplay. While that's fine, this thread is more discussing things like culture in TTL, or economics, potential rivals in the later century, etc...

In 1969, members of Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru attempted to plant bombs to explode on the railway line used by the royal train. However, the bomb exploded as the bombers were taking it to the railway line in Abergele, Conwy, killing two of the conspirators. What if this plan hadn't failed instead...

I found this map of British counties and was wondering what POD will take to have these borders.

OTL, Germany's more aggressive response to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, including the first declarations of war and invasion of Belgium, meant that little fighting was done on the Kaiser's home soil. Your goal is to have a major part of the western front be in Germany for over a year...

A disclaimer first: what I am about to propose is completely unrealistic, and I am aware of that. So please don't just give me 500 comments saying "this is unrealistic". What I want is for you to give me the reasons why it's unrealistic, so I can make it more realistic. Stuff like numbers of...

Elizabeth II has been the longest reigning british monarch in british history and amoung the longest in history, and seems to be the "natural" british monarch on the 2nd half of the 20th century on on most of the scenarios here, as even on scenarios that Edward VIII doesn't resigns, he still...

one state that's always fascinated me is the Zulu empire, a small state on the eastern cape of good hope but one able to inflict one of Britain's most humiliating defeats in the 19th century. However, it was a small kingdom with limited access to more modern weapons and was thusly annexed into...

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...

Your challenge is to keep historical boundaries of counties outside of Greater London. Like this: I have a thread like this but it's asking if it's possible, this is a contest.

So, Margaret Thatcher was the british incarnation of neoliberal policies from the 1980s, being a figure like Collor in Brazil, Yeltsin in Russia, Reagan on the USA, Meném in Argentina, Helmut Köhl in Germany, and many others, and her policies made her extremely controversial to say the least...

Your challenge is to have a complicated Canadian civil war, the PoD can be anywhere in the 20th century. One possible kickoff point would be if the Quebecois chose to have a war of independence.
