  1. How far can the Soviets go in 1946-50?

    Not very far. To illustrate, lets take a fantasy scenario where the US and Britain just vanish overnight: The USSR will be left with little organized opposition to its expansion...but will promptly find that the further it goes, the more taxing on its logistic capacity and the harder to...

  2. Japan as an American ally in WW2

    There's nothing for Japan to gain so at most you might see them joining late with some form of small expeditionary force like what Brazil sent. Ultimately minimal on it's direct contribution to the European War. Now if you wanted to make this interesting you could have a China that has...

  3. WI: Bird Flu becomes a global pandemic in the early 2000s?

    To come back to the OP, if we had a pandemic in 2000 that say killed a similar proportion as the Spanish Flu did in 1918 we would have had 166 million deaths. It would be hard for that to happen though because it would have required an active media suppression campaign akin to the one that...

  4. AHC/WI: Germany as a despised nation

    Germany gets partitioned into 3-4 states but in the face of the Soviet threat deindustrialization doesn't take place. Soviet Eastern Germany is depicted in western propaganda as a Communist Prussia with all of the old prussian militarism married to the Soviet bogeyman. In schools and media all...

  5. DBWI: Rome Conquered Egypt ( The Ptolemaic Empire )

    The combined resources of Rome/Egypt would have basically been enough to conquer the known world with the only real limit to expansion being logistics. Rome is able to dominate the eastern med, which in turn means dominating the black sea and the river basins that feed into it this allowing for...

  6. AHC: Longest possibly survivng Byzantium

    Today. With a POD that keeps Anatolia Hellenic (e.g no Turkic incursions) the survival of Byzantium (or a successor Hellenic state) becomes the most likely "default" scenario as it is easily defended (surrounded by Sea + Mountains) and provides an economic/manpower base that is larger that any...

  7. WI: HRE controls both Rome and Constantinople

    The italo centric route mentioned is one path but what I see as most likely and necessary for this empire to work is control of the Danube. The Danube River basin already covers half the empire and yet the empire doesn't fully control the river. Move east and eliminate Bulgaria and then you...

  8. Effects of a War Between the UK and France at any point between 1945 and 1990

    After WW2 thé French Communist party distances itself from Moscow and as a result is able for form an earlier and more successful collaboration with other left wing parties and gain greater electoral success. This French government rejects NATO but also the Warsaw Pact and tries to form its...

  9. DBWI: Anglo-American Rapprochement

    Avoid the aggressive American expansionism and repeated attempts to conquer British North America and you have a good start. As mentioned the Franco-American alliance was also an issue. France already being the hegemon throwing it's weight around in Europe directly enabled and inspired the...

  10. Northward Expansion of Ancient Greece

    Well, they kinda did. The northern Aegean coast (today northern Greece ) was heavily colonized to the extent that it became an integral part of the hellenic world. The black sea coast in present day Bulgaria and Romania was essentially a large string of Greek Colonies. To the northwest the...

  11. A world war with a country other than Germany as the main "bad guy"?

    Hitler is murdered by an unknown individual upon leaving Prison, resulting in a continuously fractuous and weak Weimar regime and a Germany that remains disarmed. However this leaves Stalin unchallenged in his domination of Eastern Europe, and in the 1950s a fully industrialised Soviet Army...

  12. AHC: Muslim roman empire

    Instead of taking over the Persian empire, have the Caliphate take over the Roman one, and from there expand to take over the Mediterranean basin.

  13. AHC: Large East Asian plurality/majority in a European state

    Russia takes over Manchuria

  14. The fate of the Balkans if the Ottomans lose their European possessions a century earlier?

    Bulgaria, Serbia and Wallachia were all kingdoms well before the Ottomans came around so their concepts existed indeed. However, completely independent kingdoms are unlikely since nobody is interested in bits of other empires gaining independence lest some of their own ethnicities get ideas...

  15. Modern day with the Greek Byzantine Empire taking shape like this

    In your POD there was nothing to reconquer in Anatolia, it was already Roman. By contrast the slavic population of the balkans was pagan. Having France, Spain, Britain develop the same way is right out, for a start Iberia was Muslim at this point in time (with sicily to follow) and this was...

  16. AHC: A More Feminist Protestant Reformation

    Killing off most of the men in war.

  17. AHC: new meaning for the Tetragrammic Cross under a modern Byzantine Republic

    This does run into the issue that "Balkans" is a Turkish word and "Byzantium" was assigned after the fall of the empire, but a late Paleologoi revival might see a state weak enough to allow external definitions Bouli Bassilevousas, Balkanion Basilevounton "Council of Constantinople*, ruling...

  18. What if the Nakam attempted to kill six million Germans?

    The poison dissolves so much in the water that it only ends up having a handful of victims. The healthcare system, utterly broken by the war is unable to identify and connect together the source, blaming anything from food poisoning to chemical pollution to broken/old pipes to old age.

  19. No Taxation without Representation - what about the reverse?

    The most likely form you'd see no representation without taxation is as a form of voting restriction against those too poor or young to pay tax. Wealth based restrictions were common otl after all.

  20. PC: Could Monothelitism be a Real, Generally Accepted Solution to Christological Controversies?

    Kill enough people and they'll accept anything.
