ww1

Exactly as it says on the tin. Was there any chance of the Bolsheviks remaining in the war with Germany and not signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk? If so, what needed to happen for it to occur? I don't know a lot about the Russian Revolution and Civil War. Could someone with more knowledge...

This thread is dedicated to Kaiserreich however this is only dedicated to the Prelude of the 2nd Weltkrieg. This thread is about sttories of common soldiers, the situation in the ground and diaries of famous leaders like Winston Churchill, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Huey Long and other famous people but...

WW1 seems to have been a fairly even contest. It seems like the war could have gone either way. What would have been the most plausible victory for the Germans in WW1?

i often hear this claim that if the Germans in ww1 had fought till the end like they did in ww2, the second world war with germany as the agressor would not have happened mainly due to the idea that the stab in the back myth would not have leg to stand on if the defeated German armies and took a...

What if the German Basic Law adopted in 1949 would have allowed the Bundesländer to decide their own form of government and consequently Bavaria would have restored its monarchy? I read the idea of Wittelsbach restoration was very popular at the time, and it only didn't materialise because of...

So it's pretty well known that Britain and France almost entered the American Civil War while United States had support from all across the world even among members in the homeland. Most notably Russia and the Ottomans. If France and Britain did enter the war who would join the US faction and...

So let's say Lenin succeeds in convincing his government and Trotsky to agree to the initial terms of Brest-Litovsk because they're the best terms they're gonna get, instead of the opposing idea of stalling in the hopes a revolution will kick off in Germany. As a result, Russia only loses...

I'm currently working on a alternate history timeline (mostly through drawing it) where the July crisis results in an isolated Austro-Serbian war. After skimming through this forum for a few hours, I've found many good posts about interesting consequences that could come from such a scenario. I...

...thus leading to Archduke Eugen becoming the new Emperor of Austria-Hungary in Late 1914/Early 1915. How does Austria-Hungary perform under Emperor Maximilian IV von Habsburg leading it at the start of the War? Would they do better? Worse? Who would be forced upon him as a bride considering he...

POD: Austria-Hungary remains on the defence through 1918, the Italian Front doesn't break, and the Entente's advance on the Balkans is halted somewhere in Central Serbia thanks to Austro-Hungarian reinforcements and Entente logistical limits. (By this point, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire...

Great War history is not my forte so I'm not sure if this is possible. But, assuming everything goes comically wrong for the Central Powers, and everything right for the Entente--perhaps with earlier PODs resulting in a better prepared France and Russia--I was wondering if this scenario is...

If Germany wins WW1 by a successfull Schlieffen Plan (so a faster war), what will happen to France? How will the political system develop? Is there a continue of the Republic, a large red revolution (Paris Commune XL) or maybe some far-right regime change by for example the Action Française...

Let's set the basic scenario: Germany never resumes USW, no Zimmerman telegram, US remains neutral, etc. etc. etc. and we get a CP victory sometime in 1918 after Brest-Litovsk. Germany is broke and exhausted, but nonetheless finds herself the European hegemon and leader of a continent-spanning...

Basic rundown: -Gran Colombia never exists and instead Columbia compromises of Panama, Columbia, and Ecuador -Venezuela given protectorate status in 1864 -Venezuelan crisis of 1895 escalates into a more global conflict; Anglo-Spanish war -Anglo-Spanish war occurs; US & UK v Spain & Venezuela -US...

What wpuld have happened if Germany was divided on the elbe and Saale into French and Russian satellite state How would this affect the balance of power in Europe, Great Game, Russian internal politics, British empire's survival, Future growth of France, American Foriegn policy and military size...

What would be the electoral consequences of a Kaiserreich-like scenario in Germany? How would the Reichstag elections develop after WW1 en further into the future? Will there be a united conservative people’s party composed of the traditional conservative Deutschkonservatieve Partei (DKP) and...

In addition to this discussion: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/russo-german-peace-after-a-cp-victory-in-the-west.531503/page-3#post-23756723 Let me explain the scenario. Germany and the Central Powers win WW1 by defeating France first in late 1914 or early 1915. Then after that...

I'm making a timeline and I'm not sure how the Ottomans would react or what they would to the Armenians. I'm trying to avoid thr Armenian genocide possibly get a Armenian state after WW1 in Central Powers timeline.

In a CP victory scenario, inwhich Luxembourg joins the German Empire as a new member state, how likely could it be that Prussia cedes the Britburg-Prüm region? Most of the area was historically Luxembourgish, and the cession would not only compensate for Luxembourg's loss of sovereignty, but it...

WW1 concluded with a negotiated peace in late 1917/early 1918. In the peace treaty, neither side was required to pay any reparations/indemnities and both sides pledged not to introduce new punitive tariff barriers post-war. The US never entered the war and never provided unsecured loans to...
