  1. AHC: make WW2 more brutal

    And I hate to be Captain Obvious, but maybe nukes used on Germany and/or Italy in addition to Japan, and maybe have the third nuke for Japan be real. Or, conversely, no nukes whatsoever, and have Operation Downfall go as planned. I was gonna suggest the Sino-German cooperation continue, but...
  2. Pyongyang: The Amsterdam of the East?

    In North Korea, marijuana is 100% legal. In a world where NK liberalizes, or reunites with the South, (assuming weed is still legal) would Pyongyang or another city gain a similar reputation to that of Amsterdam?
  3. DBWI: What does everyone think of the next-gen consoles?

    Well, recently at the E3 conference, Sony, Sega, Nintendo and Apple have all unveiled their respective consoles. What does everyone think of each one, and which one will you be getting? I'm definitely getting my hands on the new iPlay.
  4. AHC: Make Japan by the 21st Century a Spanish-speaking country.

    Now I'm imagining Godzilla in a sombrero...
  5. German Africa colonies

    I was shocked to hear this too... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people_in_Nazi_Germany Just read the very first sentence of the article. However they obviously didn't gel well with the Aryan race ideology. I did read somewhere that a lot of black Namibians moved to Germany...
  6. DBWI: No Hapsburg revanchist movement post-WW1?

    What if Austria and Hungary hadn't recreated the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the interwar era and WWII? Would the Nazis have taken a longer time to defeat, assuming they're not butterflied away? OOC: Yeah, I know this would probably require a pre-1933 POD, and possibly a pre-1918 one, but this...
  7. WI: Statue of Liberty instead of WTC?

    What if, on September 11, 2001, the terrorists had attacked the Statue of Liberty instead of the World Trade Centre?
  8. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes

    As long as Kathy Dunderdale isn't re-elected, I look forward to more!
  9. DBWI: Hitler not captured?

    The movie Downfall depicts the last ten days of Hitler's reign over the Third Reich prior to his arrest by Soviet troops, and later execution at Nuremberg. According to his memoirs, he was planning to commit suicide that same day he was arrested. Would this have had that major of an impact on...
  10. AHC: War between Poland and Czechoslovakia in 1930s

    England and France say no at Munich.
  11. AHC: More Gandhi-esque independence movements

    Can this be recreated in other British colonies?
  12. AHC: More Gandhi-esque independence movements

    What would be the best way to have more peaceful independence movements akin to India than OTL?
  13. Alternate countries and economies in a Weimar-lives scenario

    Off-topic, but I find it a bit interesting that the majority of the Irish population seems to be considered ethnic Englishmen on that map.
  14. Largest possible non-Nazi Germany

    Would that be integrated into Germany itself though, or would it become more like a second South Africa, with the settler population eventually developing its own identity and language?
  15. How would you defend Zion?

    And I thought it was IRL Israel...
