What if UK had traditional counties? Note that West and East Sussex and Greater London exists.

OTL Queen Mary II of England and her Prince Consort William III had no surviving children, meaning the house of Orange-Nassau remained solely a Dutch house. But what if they had produced a living heir? We'll say they name him James after her father and have him 1679, about two years into their...

Following the battle of Alma the Allied had a chance to take Sevastopol in 1854 as the Russian themselves noted what if they did so ? What would be the effect on the rest of the War ? Could we see the allied trie to follow up their succes by their help the ottoman in the Caucasus to create a...

How would domestic British politics develop without intervention in WW1? Im going to assume that the Archduke is still dies and Europe descends into war but Britain stays out. But say things in Ireland reach a head before this occurs and Britain is too preoccupied with Ireland to intervene. Or...

During WW1 there were many close calls, opportunities not fully exploited and a certain degree of logistical failures on both sides but especially the Central Powers one. So my question is: in which battle/campaign the Central Powers, if history took a different turn, could have defeated the...

In OTL, the USA purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire in 1867. But, what if Britain expressed more interest and was able to purchase it from the Russians? How does this affect the formation of the Canadian Confederation and how is British Columbia in particular affected by this? Do they join...

How could the War of 1812 be a complete disaster for Britain? (It was a draw IRL). I am curious since I think I am going to make a new timeline based on this...

Ooc: this is a double blind, where we ask an alternate history question... from an alternate history. We ask what if the south broke away, people in tl 191 ask what if the south didn't. And to establish something: britain has lost india, British Arabia, Egypt and the Suez, but retains the rest...

Axis victory scenarios and similar WW2 histories often depict him as a close friend to Hitler after coming in power or being put in power as a quislingist leader by Hitler after the surrender of Britain. This seems very unlikely for several reasons. Mosley's ideas weren't particularly extreme...

Wikipedia says that high-ranking Nazi official Otto Bräutigam claimed in his book that he had the opportunity to read a personal report by quartermaster-general Eduard Wagner regarding a discussion with Heinrich Himmler, in which Himmler had expressed the intention to exterminate about 80% of...

I’m thinking of making map of Europe/the World if England/UK decided to hold on tighter to their continental holdings, and try to grasp new ones. How much land could you get Britain to own in Europe? After 1400

when the kongo free state was confiscated from king Leopold, the belgian government stopped trade from the territory while they got things sorted. This upset Britain and France, who had let Belgium (and Leopold) have the colony as long as the major powers were allowed to trade. So when belgium...

What if the Latin influence in the British Isle stayed or was larger. Maybe the Saxons and Jutes and other Germanic peoples have less of an impact and only make a small influence.

Lets call it a BBB WW1 because why not? Based on the flurry of recent threads involving a change in US support for the Entente/Aliies. So here is the question: WW1 hurt Britain financially. That much is clear. So, ignoring the occasionally rabid debate over how bad the situation in 1916/1917...

It is 1933, and the world stands on a knife's edge. 60 years have past since the Prussian Revolution, yet its effects are still felt across the globe. The Prussian Republic, along with their allies in London, stand as a beacon of republicanism and its ideals. Surrounded by kingdoms and...

Chapter 1 While Britain had indeed come out of the Great War victorious, it was by no means an awe inspiring victory nor one that managed to make Britain stronger in the long run. Its war debt with America was extremely high which had turned Britain from a net creditor to a net debtor. Britain...

The challenge is that with a POD (or several, which is most likely needed) no earlier than May 6, 1910, and no later than November 9, 1923, the following statements are true as of January 1, 2000: -The British Empire is the most powerful entity on Earth, headed by the descendants of King George...
