1930s

Reading Nick Smart's The National Government 1931-40, in the wave of optimism that followed the signing of the Munich Agreement Neville Chamberlain seriously considered calling a snap General Election, and both the press and Labour Party expected him to call a snap poll within months. Eventually...

Reading John Campbell's Lloyd George biography, and during the late summer of 1929 he was reportedly worried that MacDonald would dissolve parliament and call a snap election giving Labour an overall majority and removing his bargaining position. Made me think would it be possible for Labour to...

PREFACE To say I've wanted to write this TL for a while would be an understatement; in fact I've essentially been slowly plugging away at it since the inconclusive end of my first and last TL; Paralysed in Darkness. Having spent more time focused on the shared world's community, getting back...

I had this idea for WW2 scenario in 1939. So let's say the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact never happens or it fails and the Soviets align with the British and the French in a negotiation which did happen in OTL. So in this alternate scenario for heavens sake have Germany invade Poland in August 1939...

What if instead of the Nazis with their focus on lebensraum by conquest, another fascist movement comes to power that instead seeks to greatly increase ethnic German immigration while simultaneously expelling "undesirables" ( Jews, Gypsies, etc.). They still want the territories lost in WWI and...

Well, last week video on the timeghost channel showed how the nazis rose in 1933 and how the KPD while influent, was not great enought to be elect. Let's say that Hitler get's killed in the beer hall putsch and most of the nazis remain self exiled, so the KPD takes over Germany, how does Ernst...

So I was quickly wondering what would happen if Labour got into a majority in 1935, per say the National Government doesn't happen and instead Conservatives and Liberals form a coalition government which is voted in 1935. This means that there's a Labour Government lead by Clement Attlee in...

With a POD in the 1930s, your challenge is to advance tech so much that the 1980s have 2030s-level technology.

Okay, so I was really bored today, and I just decided to randomly swap around the ideologies of the major world powers (America, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Russia) using console commands. Here's what I came up with: - Britain (and the rest of the Commonwealth): Non-Aligned (I...

The 1936 election is famous for FDR's massive landslide against Alf Landon, who only won two states - Vermont and Maine. Is it possible that Landon could have done better against the popular Roosevelt? What is the best possible showing that he could have realistically made in the election?

Some background first. The second UK Labour government (1929-31) was elected at a difficult time - it was a minority government (supported by the Liberal party), and spent much of its time in office grappling with the economic issues stemming from the Great Depression. Yes, most of my links in...

Several times during the 1930s Nazi Germany would have been challenged before September 1939 but wasn't. How inevitable was the policy of appeasement, and the exact outcomes of the remilitarization of the Rhineland, the Anschluss, Munich Agreement, partition of Czechoslovakia, etc.? For...

As we know Huey Pierce Long was shot in Baton Rouge in 1935 and died shortly after. Let's say that he survives the assassination attempt for some unspecified reason, but even if he still get's shot, he recovers fully after the incident. What are the most likely scenario to occur? He was a...

The PoD is the wall street crash. After the crash Hindenburg and other officers declare martial law and suspend the constitution, creating a wave of white terror restoring the Preußische Geheimpolizei, purging both far right and far left members of the government, both Hitler, his goons and...

So, aparentely William Dudley Pelley, the leader of the american silvershirts OTL did had some public support on the state of Washington with some few thousands attending his speeches, a negligible amount of people if comparated to the whole US population. Now, what if Pelley wasn't a fascist...

Maximiliano Hernández Martínez was the dictator of El Salvador from 1932 until 1944, I found this El Salvadorian documentary about him: According to wikipedia he was either a fascist or a proto fascist, he led a one party state during his whole government, and while he did not descended...

What the title says. If the Nazis had never come to power in Germany, would it have been possible for WWII to happen?

CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS? January 6th, 1933 President-Elect Calvin Coolidge passed away suddenly yesterday at 10:32 AM from coronary thrombosis, sparking a possible constitutional crisis. Following his landslide victory over incumbent President Harrison in November, Former President Coolidge has...

Assume it's a recession instead of a Depression; what does a prosperous 1930s look like?

First of all, a disclaimer: While I have some narrative skills, sadly my focus on history is the twenty century brazilian history, and so I do not know enought of weimar and early third reich politics of Germany to pull off this sceario. I would love to see it realized and I would cooperate with...
