We'll go with the standard premise of British armistice in 1940 blah blah Zhukov purged blah blah etc., Soviet collapse in 1942 followed by Germany reaching the Urals. The plausibility (or lack thereof) of such a scenario has already been discussed to death so I'd prefer we not get muddled in...

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I've tried searching for another thread here, maybe it's like on page 60 of one of the threads I saw or something, but why were they so bad? I keep seeing people assert this as fact, talking about how Barbarossa could never have succeeded because the...

Hello everyone, perhaps I am a bit pedantic with the topic since most of my publications have revolved around that topic, but today I would like to see something deeper instead of the classic discussions about a victory of the central powers, about their possible peace or how the PCs could...

8mm to the Left: A World Without Hitler On the 9th of November, 1923, a stray bullet strikes and kills Adolf Hitler during the failed NSDAP Beer Hall Putsch. With the would-be Führer dead on the streets of Munich, the fate of Germany and the world as a whole shifts dramatically… A Crumbling...

Firestorm of Vienna - 1913 On an unusually warm day of winter, 1913, in a slum in northern Vienna, a lamp was dropped onto the floor by a strong wind, instantly setting fire to the wooden floor of the men’s dormitory. The window was left opened by a small time Austrian painter, too tired to...

The German states debated on how if unification of Germany should include Austria or not. In the end Germany was united by Prussia. But what if another German state united the country excluding Austria and Prussia with the borders above?

Were there any concrete plans the Germans had for France if they won? Like would they take their colonies or annex more territory or even split France up? I know the Central Powers winning is a very common idea but we’re there any real life plans out there for France if the Germans won?

PREFACE I would begin by expressing my gratitude to everyone in this vibrant and knowledgeable community for encouraging and inspiring me to actualise this idea. As a long-time alternate history hobbyist, I have been reading forum discussions and stories for a few years. I always want to write...

So Hitler dying in the Beer Hall Putsch is a very common point of divergence in alternate history (as well as all the other opportunities for Hitler to die or vanish, such as in WWI, but I find the BHP one more interesting), and probably for understandable reasons. It is a very easy and obvious...

Basically Otto Hahn as head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, together with Lisa Meitner, in need of funds during the 1920s goes to the Reichsmarine with a tantalizing tale of a new power source for their ships. With the already felt delays until new capital ships can be laid down and the...

In the classic scenario in which the central powers win, but A-H still collapses in the 1920s and the Austrian rump state joins Germany, what would happen to the monarchy? It seems obvious that the Austrians would want to retain the title of emperor and rule as Co emperors and equals, which...

In this alternate history, Hitler never comes into contact with the Nazi party, and is instead sent to spy on the German Anarchist party, where he becomes the Generalkommissar of the party. The party's ideology includes taking over the war, killing everyone but Germans, removing human made...

On 1196, surviving a violent fight, remembering his engagement with Berengaria of Castile the angry Conrad II of Swabia would see that she had annulled her betrothal with her that he would seek the hand of one of the nieces of Richard I of England aside from Berengaria and Eleanor would be...

The German offensive in May 1918 is successful. After four years of fighting, the Germans manage to reach the suburbs of Paris. France and Great Britain are forced to recruit more fighters in order to repel the attack and restabilize the front which is claiming thousands of lives every day...

The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 had many consequences in the history of Europe and the world at the end of the 19th century. This war poorly prepared by the French Empire cost him many men, the loss of Alsace and Lorraine, a military occupation and the collapse of the imperial regime then in...

The assassination of Archduke Frank Ferdinand, heir to Austria-Hungary at the hands of the Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip was the spark that kicked off the most ruinous war to date. While many geopolitical factors were already in motion, and to some degree, unavoidable, to lead the great...

Suppose Germany chooses an 'east first' strategy in 1914, i.e. attack in the east and defend in the west. France declares war on Germany, as the alliance with Russia requires. Soon the offensive in Lorraine ends in disaster for the French. The only hope for a quick victory is to flank the...

Did the Munich Beer Hall Massacre lead to the DNVP's rise? Article from November 12th, 1993 Many of the conditions that lead to the rise of the Deutschnationale Volkspartei, or German National People's Party (DNVP), can be traced back to the failed coup by the so-called "Nazi Party" lead by...

My Idea would be that either the OTL Axis have a limited victory WW2 (borderline ASB) or that under a different leadership there is a different war resulting in a limited victory (Example would be Webers Germany ). Or maybe even that simply Italy stays neutral during WW2 but with a POD no...
