Since the end of World War II in 1945 and victory over the Axis powers, two new superpowers USSR and USA are locked in open yet restricted geopolitical rivalry which involves both countries and their respective allies, the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc. Aside from the nuclear arsenal...

Did the Munich Beer Hall Massacre lead to the DNVP's rise? Article from November 12th, 1993 Many of the conditions that lead to the rise of the Deutschnationale Volkspartei, or German National People's Party (DNVP), can be traced back to the failed coup by the so-called "Nazi Party" lead by...

If Kornilov managed to take Petrograd in September 1917, say Kerensky refuses to arm the Bolsheviks, what happens next, does the Provisional Governement side with the Reds or Kornilov? How does this affect the Eastern front? Does an earlier RCW lead to an early B-L? Does a three way civil war...

Is there anyway that before or after the Kerensky Offensive, he had been overthrown by the Russian Military to prevent a Russian Revolution?

Upon his dismissal from the Navy in April by Admiral Erich Raeder, Heydrich decides that there is nothing left for him in Germany and leaves everything behind, emigrating to the USSR and joining the OGPU. Upon the dissolution of the OGPU and replaced with the NKVD, Heydrich has risen high enough...

As Stalin lie's unconscious from his hemmoragic stroke, Stalin's inner circle decides it is a great idea to announce to the entirety of the USSR and have it be shown on live television, as they are outlining what's going to be happening in the interim period, Joseph Stalin, on national...

Erich von Manstein after the defeat at Kursk and seeing how the initiative has completely passed to the Soviets, decides that now is a great time to switch sides, so he takes a truck and drive it straight to Soviet lines with a white flag attached on top, as he gets into contact with Soviet...

so I've been reading a few threads on what if Mao died and if Stalin lived another decade and so, I've come to ask everyone here this question - What if it was Mao, not Stalin, who died on that day in 1953. Who is his immediate successor? Is there a possible way for China to leap slowly but...

Very quick question because I cannot find a definite answer to this, when Stalin first invaded Finland, did he had in mind to annex the entire state, to sort of restore the Grand Duchy of Finland in a red coat of paint as a new Finnish SSR? because it seems that after it was made clear that the...

What if the People's Republic of China was taken more seriously and a bigger threat than the Soviet Union and the WARPAC ? Could have it happened? What if there wasn't a thaw between China and the USA?

For example, since the RSFSR in our timeline had no anthem nor a branch party of the CPSU and KGBT of its own, and most of the institutions were under direct control of the central state of the USSR, what if Khrushchev or Brezhnev had introduced them, would it have influenced the course of USSR...

Let's say that rather than Gorbachev a hardliner takes over (say Ligachyov) who clamps down on liberalism and in a last ditch attempt to avoid instability embraces neo-stalinist totalitarianism. This fails and order completely breaks down into the Second Russian Civil War that lasts until the...

In "Project: Vigilant", my alt-history project, the planners of the August Coup all conveniently died in a plane crash and Gorbachev's "New Union Treaty" was successfully signed on August 20th, 1991 between the supportive SSRs. Likewise, in P.V, the name "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics"...

So, the PoD may be that Nixon nominates Thruston Morton as his VP and performs a bit better in Southern States managing to win narrowly defeat JFK. In 1961 he orders a full-blown invasion by US Army after a Tonkin-like provocation instead of what JFK did IRL. Castro is toppled and there is no...

"1941 was not the worst, oh no. And 1945 was not the end. All we went through together was meaningless. Those desperate, brutal battles against the fascists in the long first summer of the war, the bitter cold outside Moscow and Stalingrad, and our heroic march to Berlin- none of it mattered...

Although many people think that Rosa Luxemburg is German,in fact she was born in Poland,in the then Russian empire.What would have happened if she had remained connected to Russia and not moved to Germany and participated in the October Revolution?Would she have collaborated with Lenin?And let's...

The War Ends Henry Wallace was, for the First American Republic an unusual President, a progressive New Dealer he was to the left of much of the political establishment and easily the second most popular politician in the country, second only to his President; Franklin Roosevelt. When Roosevelt...

Leonid Brezhnev's health problems were evident to all those who were close to him, and in the politburo. In 1981, apparently most in the central committee had realised that the general secretary didn't have long to live, and were looking for a successor. As we all know, IOTL the position went to...

I find it confusing to what could happen Afghanistan if the Soviets never had withdrawn. And I have read these threads https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/war-on-terror-with-a-surviving-ussr.132355/ and...
