    Nazi racial doctrine regards the Japanese as another variety of Untermenschen. The German view of the second Sino-Japanese War is that it is a tribal squabble between sub-human Asiatics. When Pearl Harbor and the Japanese invasion of South East Asia proceed as in OTL, Hitler publically...

  5. Assassination of Otto von Bismarck, 1866.

    Apologies if this one is already well known to all you AH experts, but I only today found out that there had been an attempt to assassinate Bismarck on 7th May 1866.

    By 1917. the British popular press were already well aware of this. See this cartoon from Punch:

  12. Wonder Woman VS The Comics Code (EC Comics WI)

    The first thing that occurs to me is to have a President or other senior establishment figure (Patton or MacArthur?) become a comic book fan. When it is public knowledge that the Department of Defence is having tens of thousands of each issue of All-American Comics shipped out to Korea for...

  13. USA declares war on Germany in September 1939?

    What happens if an American ship is sunk by the Germans who claim that they thought it was British? How much mishandled diplomacy by the Germans is then required to produce an American declaration of war?
