Can Romania survive intact after the WW2 and maybe end up neutral or pro-West after the war?

By this point the war was obviously over. If they just threw in the towel here, what would happen? Would there be any meaningful change in post-war Europe? How would Germany be divided between the powers if it was never occupied?

Depending on the pod, what sort of internal political and societal developments would occur that would make a French HRE a possibility? How would a Royal Germany function with the Franks now holding the Imperial Crown and hegemony over Western Christendom? I know holding Burgundy would probably...

With a POD after 1900 have Austria-Hungary be on the opposite side from Germany in a world war, both WW1 or WW2 (after a Central Powers victory or white peace presumably) are acceptable. Why does Austria-Hungary go to war: defensive (Germany declares on them?), opportunistic (Germany is...

The German Empire was made up of various smaller monarchies before and during ww1, with Prussia the preeminent one and the only one who could be a great power on its own. After world war one and the german defeat, these monarchs were deposed even as the states remained separated before the late...

A Central Powers Timeline

It could be useful to create various lists of alternate heads of government and heads of state for various countries. I want to gather various potential alternate chancellors of Germany during the 20. century. Which persons could have been chancellor? Under which alternate circumstances could...

What if after the disaster at Stalingrad, the German army and my extension Hitler adopted a more cautious strategy after the fiasco, not to win but force the eastern front into a stalemate? What could the Germans have tried? What would be resulting arms race be like? What would be the effect...

Base map Could something like this german empire ever be accomplished? The only change to Europe from OTL is that they don't have Alcase-Lorraine, but do have Luxembourg. Africa is obvious with the giant mittleafrika, same with the German Phillippines. Now, there was a situation involving France...

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...

Henry The Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, was one of the most powerful German princes in the history of the HRE. His descendants would go on to hold the german crown as the holy roman empire declined due to the rise of powerful states like the Welf's german holdings, Austria and Bohemia, all...

OTL, Germany is fundamentally Bavarian, as during the Congress of Vienna, Britain wanted a more central german power than the eastern Prussians or the southern Austrians. Thus when King Maximilian I of Bavaria died in 1812 and his son Ludwig turned against Napoleon, they were rewarded with the...

What if after WW2, the Allies don't pursue a policy of German integration and rehabilitation. What if instead, they punish Germany in ways much harsher than ToV? What would the consequences be if the country was treated as a pariah state, even if it becomes a democracy? Let's say if the Allied...

Do you know the kind of stupid villain that ends doing a positive thing by accident? So, the DNVP and other traditional ultracon-protofascist parties in the weimar republic were about to attempt their own coup, putting Hans Von Seeckt in power of Germany and maybe trying to restore the...

In otl the usa is a interventionist superpower with global influence, a less than thriving democracy, and decent racial tensions, while germany is a non interventionist welfare nation with superb civil rights, a very healthy (for now) democratic process, and some serious mass genocide in the...

What if the CotR was reinstated at the Treaty of Paris or Congress of Vienna, with its borders being at its height, except for a few I will list: -Saxony is and the lands west of the Rhine are handed over to Prussia. -Hanover and, Hansa Cities, and other German States in the Northwest of...

What if in the aftermath of WWI, the Entente had merged East Prussia with Lithuania as part of the Treaty of Versailles? The Lithuanians would receive a larger population, the Poles would be less likely to try revanchist schemes (or would they?) and the Soviets would see the new nation as less...

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...
