    WI: General Maurice Rose survives WW2 and joins the IDF?

    For those who don't know General Maurice Rose commanded the 3rd armored division and was, to my recollection, both the highest ranking Jew in the US military and highest ranking American killed in action during the War. Before the UN Partition vote in 1948, David Ben-Gurion and the Haganah...

    A single seat fighter for the Fleet Air Arm?

    It's say, 1935 or 1936, and someone at the top of the British defense establishment realized that if Britain were to fight Japan in the Pacific, Italy in the Mediterranean, or the United States anywhere, the FAA would probably need a modern single seat, single engine fighter. If you're a...

    July 1917 Kadet Coup against Kerenksy?

    More or less what it says on the tin, I'm curious about the plausibility of, in the aftermath of the Kerensky offensive and the July Days, a Kadet-backed coup (a la Kornilov affair, perhaps with Kornilov) during the tail end of July 1917. At the time of the July Days another revolt was happening...

    Polubotkivtsi / Ukrainian Independist coup during Kerensky offensive

    (Polubotkivtsi during the coup attempt according to Wikipedia) What I am trying to do is to find PODs which make Ukraine's independence during the inter-war more plausible. I was originally thinking of writing some writers' forum stuff taking place in a TL duirng its 30s with that as the...

    DBWI: What if the Syrian Social Nationalist Party didnt unify Greater Syria?

    The title says it all folks, what if the SSNP had failed to unify Greater Syria, or at least the majority of it. Obviously, events in the middle east had a huge effect on the cold war and the global situation in general so I'm wondering how much of a butterfly effect we would see.

    What if Engelbert Dolfuss survives his second assasination attempt?

    In 1934 Engelbert Dolfuss was assassinated in Vienna by Austrian National-Socialists, what if he survives, and presumably survives any further assassination attempts by Nazis? I do not see him caving to Munich as his successor did. Would he prepare to fight a military conflict before giving into...

    Would a Fascist Czechoslovakia be able to defeat Germany?

    Czechoslovakia had a rather large prewar Fascist movement known as the National Fascist League, led by former Czechoslovakian Legion officer Radola Gajda. They were followers of a more Italian style Fascism. Let's assume that this Fascist Czechoslovakia is led by Gajda, let's also assume he...

    What if Pinochet won the Chilean National Plebiscite in 1988?

    As Pinochet only lost by 4% of the vote, and this could be attributed to poor campaigning by the Yes campaign, assuming Yes had a better run campaign and perhaps a poorer run campaign by No, what if Yes had won the election and Pinochet had been President until 1996? Only one other former Latin...

    What if Russia launches a surprise attack on Sweden in 1914?

    IOTL There nearly was such an attack against Sweden. There was an old TL about this but it ended prematurely a few years ago. The attack itself was to take place in the beginning of August IIRC right after Britain declared war. Sweden's Navy at the time consisted of alot of coastal defense...

    WI: Galicia-Volhynia does not fall or decline? Leading to a surviving Kingdom of Ruthenia?

    What if the Kingdom of Ruthenia (Galicia-Volhynia) does not fall but rather, manages to expand or at least survive until the collapse of the Golden Horde a few hundred years later? When they can safely expand into the former Kyivan Rus'. Perhaps Shvarno manages to hold the Lithuanian throne...

    How much Opposition to Third Terms in the Gilded Age?

    While Washington established an "unwritten rule" as we view it today, before FDR many presidents did not run for a third term because they were tired of the job or did not believe they could win reelection. Could a very popular President run for a third term and win? Or would people be so afraid...

    Maximum amount of damage possible for the Tirpitz to inflict?

    What is the maximum amount of damage possible for the Tirpitz to inflict if she managed to break out of the Norwegian Fjords, and lets say she's undetected at first like the Bismarck.

    What would von Schleicher's Germany look like?

    Kurt von Schleicher actually had a pretty good opportunity to stop Adolf Hitler's rise to power by extending the Reichstag's recess until the spring of 1933, which would allow von Schleicher to consolidate power and popularity and let the NSDAP devolve into infighting. K. von Schleicher also...

    Plausability Check: French Victory at the battle of Puebla?

    I imagine that the Mexicans could be lured out into the field, were French artillery and equipment could show their worth, however I just want to make sure that this is plausible. Are any other Expeditionary Forces available for Lorencez to use?

    DBWI: What if Napoleon invaded Spain?

    I recently read that Napoleon was secretly contemplating an invasion of Spain to overthrow Ferdinand VII and install either one of his marshalls or brothers as King of Spain in F VII's stead. How would this have affected the rest of the war in Europe, I can't imagine Spain rolling over for...

    WI: Czech National Fascist League overthrew the Czech governement in 1933?

    Radola Gajda was leader of the NOF and a hero of the Czechoslovak legions during the first world war and collapse of the Russian Empire. The Czech Fascists were mainly based on Italian Fascism and rather anti-German. Apparently they boasted several hundred thousand members at its peak, and Gajda...

    What if Harald Hardrada had conquered England?

    So, let's say he decisively wins the battle of Stamford bridge, kills Harold Godwinson. Then he defeats William the Conqueror in battle. What would occur? Would he occupy England for himself or give the throne to Tostig? If he had conquered England what would change?

    WI: Independent Louisiana?

    Let's say that the Napoleon never buys back Louisiana or that Jefferson decides not to buy it, and it goes back to Spain after the end of the Napoleonic wars. As I understand Spain was especially unpopular in Louisiana, and with Mexico, Colombia, Argentina etc. in revolt and revolution could...
