We could armchair this thing all day, but here goes nothing. Step 1: Prevent Japan from attacking Pearl Harbor. Maybe they dig themselves much deeper into China and divert their carrier resources to southeast Asia, bypassing all American possessions? They still won't be thrilled when the...

I think that even if the United States and Confederate States somehow went their separate ways, they'd wind up reunified by 1900, for a variety of reasons. The idea of the split successfully working for either side, when both sides truly needed each other to function in a global market, just...

Communism isn't explicitly anti-religious. Granted, the Soviet Union was atheistic in their approach, but many Christian communists use Acts 2:43-47 and Acts 4:32-35 as their foundation. The context behind those passages isn't designed to support communism, but that doesn't stop/hasn't stopped...

Not listening to his generals' advice and having a two-front war could be linked together, but I chose the former of the two because had he done the first one, he could've avoided the second one.

Yeah I looked at Oscar Romero and other Catholic leaders. I'm guessing it would require a Catholic America, which goes back to England somehow remaining Catholic yet still colonizing America in much the same way and no one going Protestant somehow. Such butterflies.

Bumping this. Still curious as to how the board thinks this might turn out and how things could get there, if possible/plausible

A Japan that sits out WWII is a Japan asking for an upheaval of some sort. They were in just as bad, if not worse, economic straits as Germany was after Versailles. The Philippines and other American islands in the distant Pacific will be tough to dodge in the long run. Supply lines will get...

Just like it says. Have the United States embrace a theocratic communist government anytime after the turn of the 20th century. Bonus points if they do this without Soviet influence. Extra bonus points if they do this before OTL Russian Civil War/Communist Revolution. Incorporate the...

If Jesus or the apostles Paul or Peter issued a command to abolish slavery within the Roman Empire, the economy would've likely collapsed, and you'd see dire circumstances anywhere the Roman Empire touched, plus any immediate bordering lands.

Sounds like an interesting idea for a movie

Johannine baptism was already part of Jewish theology at the time. Water baptism the way John was engaging in it was for non-Hebrews who wanted to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Your average Joe Edomite needed to receive this baptism to be welcomed into the Jewish nation. What...

I think if he's got power for long enough, it'll get under his skin and he'll crave more of it. Just an opinion when I look at his SS reign of terror. I feel like the SS would love a power grab, even if it's led by Heydrich instead of Himmler. The OP doesn't say Hitler is dead. For some...

Went with Himmler. Though he might not wind up as Fuhrer immediately, he will likely find a way to muscle his way into the role, runes and all.

I'm a straight male WASP with blue eyes, fair skin, and reddish brown hair, and 6'2" tall. Predominantly British Isles heritage, especially Scots-Irish. Live in Virginia as the name suggests. Only blonde hair is missing or else I'd be a poster boy for them. I'd make a great spy for our side...

Just like it says. To what degree would German unification accelerate? Would this strengthen the German Empire or weaken it in lieu of Catholic Austria? How would this alter the course of World War I? Or would it? Would Bavarians still hold contempt for Prussians if they shared Lutheranism?

You'd need the Pope to become a Reformer at that rate. He'd have to fall at his feet repenting in front of Luther for even calling him to Worms.

Just like it says. Is there anyone who can supply me with a map of pre-colonial Africa before all the Europeans showed up?
