Well if William III doesn't survive there is a possibility that the Principality of Orange passes to Frederick William I of Prussia, him being the heir-general. The threat of a Anglo-French alliance means that the Dutch Republic needs friends in order to avoid another 1672, and this would be a...

For some of the Dutch motives to go to war we shouldn't forget that images of the Afrikaners in British concentration camps during the Boer War are still fresh in the minds of the Dutch people at this point. Hell Prussian-Dutch relations are easily better then Anglo-Dutch right now. At the...

As far as I know this would be near to impossible, since no nation with regions controlled by separatists are eligible to join NATO (I could be mistaking, and it might just be the EU)...

Euroscepticism is inevitable and certainly wasn't bred by the UKIP, it's bred by nationalist sentiments and the prevalent attitude by the European Union in European politics, which is generally "you're either with us, or against us". Without the UK, I think the European Union would go towards...

The Ottomans were so successful through at a steady pace expanding their borders step by step. I'm quite sure that taking southern Italy and Spain (assuming this is on top of their OTL conquests) would lead to over-extension. Just like in real-life that the Ottoman Empire eventually became too...

It just seems that victory upon victory is stacking up for the Ottomans which makes this whole scenario a bit too typically wank-ish. Regardless of which endeavour the Turks seem to undertake, it will seems to succeed in your world up to this point (and this is before your establishment of the...

It would be easy for this scenario to use the Boer wars in some way for the POD. I'm not sure the Netherlands would make a large impact, the extra manpower could help, but the dutch army wasn't that good or anything. Maybe the dutch navy will be more useful, acting together with the...

Sorry for the rant, but this kind of stuff makes me sick. It's not a matter of western eyeglasses, it's a matter of being treated as you want to be treated. If you want freedom to follow what you think is right you ought to be willing to extend that same freedom to others. The most radical in...

In reply to Terlot: When you look at the Black Orchestra it had members from diverse parties, old right-wing nationalists/conservatives had a big share, but it also contained SPD members such as Julius Leber and Theodor Haubach. The Vice-Chancellor would also be from the SPD: Wilhelm...

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee181/PrimoDeRivera/Worldishthingiecopy-1.png I'll keep it as a link, kind of a big image. Basically just a fantasy map, with some inspirations from RL (e.g. Bahrevand is a region in ancient Armenia) I'm thinking of developing it into a story, but probably...

Meh, we know Hawaii isn't in N-America already... regardless what other places could have become US States outside of N-America. Maybe parts of Germany, in a hyper-Morgenthau plan or something?

Also fairly realistic scenarios...

I'd say that with the Netherlands coming better out of World War II, the possibility of the Netherlands doing everything to hold on to Indonesia, and rejecting US pressure is possible. The result of this could be that the Netherlands opts out of a NATO kind of thing and warms up to Germany. Had...

Coordinated? Well not really, the Kreisau Circle really wasn't coordinated with a coup or anything like that, and Moltke disapproved of it (though for that matter Goerdeler did so at first as well). During the time that the assasination attempts really got under way, Moltke was imprisoned. The...

Moltke had little to do with Op Valkyrie, he was in a different resistance group (the Kreisau Circle) which, while it maintained contact with other resistance groups and members of it did participate in the July 20 plot, had nothing to do with Op Valkyrie. Von Stauffenberg could hardly be...
