    As the title says, create a scenario where the U.S., joining either the Entente or the Central Powers, finds itself on the losing side of the war.

    AHC/WI: US Joins the Central Powers

    What would it take for the US to enter World War I on the side of Germany and against Britain? And what would the consequences be? The first ingredient, I imagine, would be a more active and assertive US foreign policy. One crazy idea (which could be its own AHC/WI) is the US seizing some of...

  4. WI: The United States enters WW1 as a Central Power but loses

    Let's say that the United States joins World War 1 as an ally of Germany but still loses the war to the Entente. How could the Entente have beaten the Central Powers with the United States as an enemy? Assuming they win, what kind of concessions will the United States have to make? I could...
  5. What if America took Spain in the Spanish American War?

    There was a alt map, which can't be found now, where America took Spain. This resulted in America joining the Central Powers and so the Central Powers winning. For this to happen America would need to be stronger and Spain weaker, and the Spanish want to ruled by America than their own...
  6. Central Power Victory in "WW1"

    What would have been necessary for the Central Powers to win WW1/a similar conflict. I am talking about "small PODs" ,"medium PODs" and "large PODs". Small PODs essentially use the situation in 1914 as a basis and explore how different decisions could have affected a TL. For example: Different...

    Harry Turtledove WI Second Mexican War Turns into World war I

    Is there any chance for the Second Mexican war to turn into an early World war I in the Southern Victory Series? What would it look like? If there's a chance, is there a way we could come up with a POD, and the events of such a war?
  8. Austria-Hungary Collapse in a Cp victory

    If the central Powers were to emerge victorious in late 1918, how would Austria-Hungary stay together or collapse? The POD is the usual USA never joins the first World War. Germany is victorious in September 1918. No colonies are taken from Germany, as Germany eases reparation demands to get...
  9. Russia Balkanized after civil war?

    During the Russian civil war there were loads of nations that wanted and fought for independence ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-independence_movements_in_Russian_Civil_War ) could any of these countries gain independence? Which ones? How would these nations develop? How can we make these...
  10. ottoman attack Persian oil fields instead of Russia in 1914

    Otomans stay on defensive agianst Russian in Caucasus mountain instead attack British owned oil fields in Iran. British government owned controlling interest in British petroleum AKA anglo-persian oil company in 1914. So ottoman attack south instead of East British early success in Iraq as was...
  11. Eastern Europe in a Central Powers Victory

    What would the East look like in a late Central Power Victory? Yes I know this has been done already a few times but I couldn’t find anything using the Worlda format. Central Powers win by taking Paris in the Spring offensive in 1918, bringing the allies to the negotiating table. Treaty of Brest...
  12. Powerful Bulgaria in a Central Powers victory.

    If the Central Powers were to win ww1, what could Bulgaria do to ensure it becomes the most powerful country in the Balkans? Would they try to invade other countries? I just want to see what people come up with for a project I'm working on.

    WI: Occupation or puppet regime after France capitulated during WW1?

    What if, central powers forced France to capitulate during WW1, would they seek to establish a collaborate government like Vichy France or just occupy it and deal with them after the war?
  14. AHC: the Great War Napoleon

    So let’s say Wilhelm II is born perfectly healthy. In fact, not only is he born a healthy man, he in fact grows up to be a genius, who is deeply invested in military studies. He is basically a Napoleon of his age, and well known to be an extremely capable strategist and soldier by the start of...
  15. Aftermath of Central Powers victory: Migration between Mitteleuropa states, Lingua Franca, etc.

    Assume a Central Powers victory scenario in World War One, and the formation of a Mitteleuropa dominated by the German Empire, including Ukraine. Crimea, Latvia, and Estonia are the only areas that are directly annexed. The others are the independent states of Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus...
  16. Is Austria-Hungary's collapse inevitable if the Central Powers win WWI?

    Is the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire inevitable if the Central Powers win WWI in 1918/1919 and trialism is successfully implemented after the war, essentially making it the Austro-Hungarian-Croatian Empire?
  17. Persia/Qajars join the Central Powers in WW1, what happens???

    For whatever reason Persia decides to join the central powers, maybe they don't like being in the British/Russian sphere. 1.Would this cause the CP to win? 2.If they won, what would they gain? 3.If they still lost, what would they loose? P.S I've never created one of these fangdangled thread...
  18. AHC WI Germany Wins World War I

    With any PoD after 1900, and preferably after the assassination of Archduke Franz-Ferdinand, have Germany and the Central Powers win World War I. If Germany won, would it get its Mittleafrika colonies that it aspired to(it could take the Congo from Belgium). What would be the situation in Europe...
  19. Largest plausible CP?

    What's the largest size the Central Powers bloc could plausibly have attained during the war? Assuming we're starting with Germany and Austria-Hungary, and we still have the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria join in as IOTL, who else could the CPs have plausibly convinced to get on side during the...

    Fact checking - central powers and oil 1st WW

    I'm working on an ATL where Gallipoli succeeds, the Ottomans fall, Bulgaria stays out and Romania isn't conquered. It occurred to me that this raises the issue of oil. I checked online (my library is 500 km away) as far as I could. I found only one reference, this stated that Romania was the...
