  1. More post-Soviet wars in the 90s

    What other plausible post-Soviet conflicts in the vein of the Caucasus and Yugoslavia could arise in the early 90s in Eastern Europe and how would they go? Poland tries to recover Lviv/Lwow/Lvov? Romania invades Moldova? Hungary invades Romania or Yugoslavia? Bulgaria invades Yugoslavia? Violent...

  2. Italy buys the Nicobar Islands

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicobar_Islands Seems easy to accomplish and without causing big ripples immediately. Unless, the Italians use it to to try to meddle or expand into Aceh which was still independent in this time: What then? Does Italy keep focusing on colonial expansion in Asia...

  3. WI Oswald kills Johnson, not JFK

    How doesn't really matter. JFK doesn't go to Dallas, but VP Johnson goes for some reason, in '63 or '64, and gets plucked by Lee Harvey Oswald. Johnson was from Texas after all, so it isn't a stretch. JFK is alive by the end of his mandate, but his VP has been murdered by a communist. What's...

  4. WI the Sverdlov conspiracy theory is real - and succeeds

    I caught a program a couple of nights ago defending a theory that basically boils to: - Fanny Kaplan was a patsy who might not even been there to shoot Lenin in 1918. - Lenin's assasination was planned by Yakov Sverdlov (who had Kaplan arrested in a cell directly bellow his own office and...

  5. Effects of Interwar Soviet Finland

    Suppose there is a way for the reds to win the civil war or the Soviets to come back after like they did in Ukraine, and that the Finnish SSR is the fourth founding member of the USSR in 1922. What does this mean for Scandinavia and the world? An immediate given is that Sweden would become...

  6. Henry IX of England, 1625-?

    Search turned nothing in this topic, but I'm on mobile... Say, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales does not die of disease at 18 and succeeds his father James I/VI, rather than his younger brother, the would be Charles I. What are the effects? Would the Spanish Match of Charles go through? It...

  7. AHC/PC/WI: Franco-Soviet DoW against Germany, British neutrality in 1938

    Is it possible for them to come to Czechoslovakia's help, even if Chamberlain backs off?

  8. Can the ACW be delayed?

    The conflict was coming since the 1840s and some TLs do have it explode earlier. But is there a way it could happen, say, 10 years later than IOTL in 1871? What is different in America and abroad?

  9. Rump Czecho-Slovakia as a member of the Axis

    Six months ago (sorry for not linking, I'm on mobile) there was a post arguing that the March 1939 partition of 'Czecho-Slovakia' was essentially a gratuitous dick move by Hitler because Hacha's government was already a German puppet for all purpose. Suppose then, that CS is not further...

  10. AHC: A Quebec Rising during WWI

    Your challenge, should you accept to take it, is to have a separatist republican rebellion in Quebec, comparable in scale, goals and support to the Irish rebellion. Wether it is successful or related to the events in Ireland is up to you.

  11. 1914: Germany, Austria & Italy vs Serbia, Russia, France, Britain... and Spain?

    Last Christmas Eve, Spanish newspaper ABC published this article on a supposed 1914 plan that called Spain to join the Entente on the event of Italy's entry in WW1 on the side of its Triple Alliance "buddies", Germany and Austria-Hungary. Spain would provide its fleet rebuilt post-Moroccan...

  12. WI Germany chooses Russia over Austria post-League of the Three Emperors?

    I understand that it fell because of opposed Austrian and Russian interests in the Balkans. I just cannot understant why the Germans sided then with the Austrians, other than ethnic affinity.

  13. Could Rome have been abandoned?

    Inspired a bit by a post on r/Askhistorians. It seems at some point in the Middle Ages, the city of Rome fell from the millions of inhabitants it had in imperial times to just a few thousands. It decayed enough for a cow herd to graze in the old city's forum undisturbed. Could Rome have just...

  14. AHC/PC: Independent Hungary c.1867 - under Maximilian

    This just popped into my head. After 1867 Austria and Hungary were basically two different states with the same army and head of state. That same year, AH's favorite among Franz Josef's siblings, Maximilian, who was only 2 years younger than him, was captured and executed by Mexican rebels. Of...

  15. WI: The Medieval Britons were Romance-speaking

    Inspired by this site, who draws parallels between the fortunes of the Britons and the Byzantines and paints both as successors of the Roman Empire. I know. Constantinople eventually switched to Greek and Britain really never spoke Latin. I don't know exactly how likely is this (probably very...

  16. 1924 - The king of Egypt claims the Caliphate

    I think I've seen people suggesting the Hachemites or even the Saudis doing it but never the Egyptians. How would Islam be changed? They could always say that it was held by the Mamluks before the Ottomans.

  17. French "depose" Alexander VI

    In 1494 King Charles VIII of France invaded Italy with his claim to the throne of Naples as a pretext. Unable to fight, Alexander VI holed himself in the Castel Sant'Angelo while the French army occupied Rome. Cardinal Della Rovere (future Pope Julius II) then pressed for a commission with the...

  18. Normandy without Torch - How does Vichy France react?

    Assume the Allies do attempt to land on France without taking North Africa first (I think this was the British idea but the Americans ruled it out). IOTL the Germans occupied Vichy France in response to the French surrender in Algeria, but here there is still an 'indepedent' French authority...

  19. Small OTL History questions - Post 1900

    Was about to ask this on the other board but it's probably better to start another one. Just what kind of relations did Nazi Germany have with Liechtenstein, especially after it annexed Austria and they shared a border? What was its policy during WW2?

  20. No Irish Church

    Is it possible for Christianity to not arrive in Ireland until well after the fall of Rome? Effects?
