I know this has nothing to do with what the OP said, but if Hitler claimed to have changed, acknowledged his crimes, and accepted his execution after claiming that his time living near metizos changed his view on non Aryans, what impact would it have on white nationalism and Holocaust denial...

I think that if this is changed so that Hitler is living under a fake name in sparsely populated parts of the Andes, raising a family, and rich from jewels he took with him, this scenario is more plausible. I can’t see what Hitler is supposed to contribute to the Argentinian government, why he...

Let’s say that either events in Ukraine or Syria result in the US or Russia greatly increasing tensions, both sides threatening war and badly underestimating the situation, one side accidentally shooting the other side, and rapid escalation because the situation is misread. Nukes start flying...

Eastern Europe would eventually have a baby boom after things settle down. The rural people of Eastern Europe have a positive fertility rate already, and that’s where most survivors will be. Demographic transitions are in part a social construct that many subgroups in the developed world (and...

If the US and USSR fought the Cuban Missile Crisis, how would they be remembered afterwards? Would they be seen as akin to Nazi Germany and their leadership as worse than Hitler? Or would the US see Kennedy as a heroic war time president akin to Roosevelt or Lincoln? At this point, I don’t...

First to develop and have fertility crash, last parts of significant population growth blunted by world wars, consistently sending parts of population growth overseas to colonies.

Outside of damaging their reputation, Germany now has a huge target on its back to prevent them from dominating Europe fully, they now have a border with Italy which creates the possibility of war with them, and inheriting part of the Austria’s Navy will upset Britain even further. It puts them...

Doesn’t Miami have two of the largest airports in the US with Fort Lauderdale and Miami International? With their combined traffic Miami must rank fairly high in the OTL.

If the US had decided in the early stages of the Cold War that Communism is just a fad that will fade within a few generations and fail to create wealthy societies or a new man, and that even if the number of Communist countries greatly increase many of them will turn on each other over...

“Better at what?” is the question. Some people would say a total Communist takeover would be the best, some would say a restoration of the Bourbons and restoration of Catholicism and endangered local languages would be best, others would favor trying to get to OTL 2021 France but without...

What if after the Cold War ended, Bush Sr. (or an alternative President) decided that maintaining a large presence overseas is a waste of money and began to withdraw, withdrawing the Middle East especially fast after deciding it is too unstable to bother with. The US stays out of Iraq here. He...

Anarcho-Capitalism is tried somewhere. Communities are quickly formed on ideological and religious lines. Small scale wars and conflicts arise. Within a few generations, a successful private defense corporation (McMissile) settles most of the conflicts. The CEO crowns himself Emperor of...

I feel like something that makes this tough is trying to specifically define the Enlightenment. All kinds of thinkers thought all sorts of things and had different views. Looking at the US Constitution and Articles of Confederation, the various governments of the French Revolution, and the...

It would be kind of funny if Cal just let this one go

That’s a mean thing to say.

Now, maybe there is not as much crossover between these groups as I imagine, but I think AH forums need to decide between one of two positions. 1: The Nazis were doomed from the start and changing Dunkirk, Leningrad, Spain’s status, buffing Italy, or a Mediterranean strategy cannot do much to...

If Germany has its advance into France stopped at the last moment in 1940 and the result is a war of attrition that effectively destroys both sides, what moves does the Soviet Union make? Do they take all of Finland and Romania? If so, do they advance into the Balkans and Sweden later while the...

I think the two biggest questions are 1: Do the Allies get Lend Lease? 2: Does Japan attack Britain and/or Russia without the US involved?

Maybe if they survive until around the present, technology will exist to make these things cheap enough for a Great Power to pursue. Most of those countries are not big enough to spend what the the US spent in the 60s.
