In an ATL where Ottoman empire survives and thrives (either in a no world war or central power victory scenario) how much more peaceful would the middle east be? I'm thinking specifically regarding a world without Saudi arabia and the Israel/Palestine conflict, both of which could be avoided...
What is the plausibility that the Russian civil war could drag on for so long that these states could break away permanently from Russia and avoid being reincorporated into the USSR or just Russia again if the whites win? Who would have the best odds of surviving long term independently?
Climate change would become more unignorable earlier on ITTL. No WWs means Europe has a significantly larger population, in particular Russia and Germany. Rich countries disproportionately omit CO2, and with more people living in developed countries climate change would be a bigger issue earlier.
While pro/reg is a tradition in Europe I don't think it is necessarily required to have a thriving league, and assuming the ASL can stay popular and financially stable through the great depression it is likely it could naturally spread throughout the entire country, and maybe down the line...

Is it plausible for China to become communist before Russia or in a timeline where the Bolshevik revolution in Russia fails or never happens, or is this ASB territory? China seems to have the ingredients to go communist post 1911 revolution, with alot of poor and oppressed peasants, political...

With better leadership ability from Nicky, avoiding the disastrous Russo-Japanese wars which caused a mini revolution and the even more disastrous move of getting into WW1 which lead to total revolution and him and his family getting killed. What if instead he listens to his advisers more on...
Is there any plausible alternate history scenario where the European colonization of Americas could happen WITHOUT African slavery? What would have to happen in Europe's history to prevent it? Or is there something that could of happened in Africa's development that could of prevented it? Since...
Since the space race IOTL is so deeply connected to the cold war, in a TL without world wars, how do you think a space race would develop? Would a Tsarist Russia be able to compete? Would Germany without the massive brain drain be favorites to reach the moon first or would it still be the US?
With a 1900 POD can India’s economy develop as successfully as China did otl? Or is this considered ASB? Both countries have similar populations yet Chinas GDP is around 6 times greater than that of India.
