The Fall of France in 1940 was by all accounts an incredibly lucky streak for Germany. Similarly, Germany's successes in Barbarossa were also incredibly lucky. Let's say in a TL where France never falls to the Nazis in 1940, someone tries to write a WW2 ATL which happens to be OTL WW2. In that...

So I've heard that OTL German successes were based on incredible German luck during the first few years of WWII. If that is the case, what is the more plausible/likely extent of German territorial gains in WWII with a POD of Sept 1 1939?

Create a scenario with the latest possible POD such that the late 20th and early 21st century of this TL has no Western superpowers and is dominated by a non-Western nation or nations. Perhaps even a cold war between two competing non-Western superpowers, like a resurgent Ottoman Empire vs...

I never fully understood how the eastern areas of the reich was liberated in the TL. It was merely a sentence on the Gurkhas linking up with the west on the Polish Ukraine border. What happened? I assume the staging would be the USSR, so When did the Allies in the TL station troops in the USSR...

In Amerigo Vespucci's famous Cuban Missile War TL, what China be like by the present day? So basically, US and Russia fight each other in 1962, and China gets spared fromUS nukes and promptly takes over Siberia. US is bloodied but survive, while Europe and the USSR completely splinters after the...

I've seen a lot of discussion over how KMT China would be better than CCP China because of how the KMT would've started capitalist growth earlier than the CCP and spared China of millions of deaths from the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Yet I still think that Mao Zedong did a...

In CalBear's AngloAmerican Nazi War TL's universe, if war is held off indefinitely between the Allies and the Reich instead of breaking out in 1954, how long, if ever, would Nazi Germany get nukes? ITTL, Nazi Germany survived until arond 1960 IIRC, with the last 6 years fighitng the...

How would a Nazi victory in Hendryk's Superpower Empire TL look like? Something along the lines of Fatherland, or a Valkyrie Rises over Europe where the Nazis reach the Urals but Japan is beaten anyways, leading to a US Nazi Cold War. The US then funds the Soviets in a guerilla war against the...

If the KMT won the Chinese Civil War and most likely end up taking control of Xinjiang and TIbet, what kind, if any, independence movements would there be? KMT rule most likely would be much more mild than Mao's, and probably at the level of current day PRC's at worst. Without such harsh...

With a POD after the formation of the PRC on October 1st 1949, how much of a chance did the two sides have for reunification and what POD would be most likely for such an event to occur. Btw, there was this post that I found...

As per the title. If we replay the Cuban Missile Crisis from the day it started through a hundred parallel universes, how many of them would end up in nuclear armageddon?

Princip died in Austrian prison in 1918 shortly before WWI ended. What would be the effects had he survived the war? How would he be treated by Yugoslavia?

I remember reading a thread here earlier saying that by the 1980s, even neutral nations are on the target list for both US and Soviet nuclear missiles, because neither superpower want any potential aid to the enemy left after the war. That said, if a nuclear war happened in say, 1983, what...

Based off an ASB thread where ASBs brainwash Americans into supporting an invasion of Pakistan in the early 2000s. However, someone there claimed that it's not ASB if say, a coup took place where Musharaf gets replaced by radical anti-American leaders. What are the chances of the US actual going...

Ming and later Qing China have fought victorious engagements against the Portuguese and Dutch off their southern coast and against the Russians in the North during the 16th and 17th century. When was the latest that China could win in a war in those areas against foreign powers, before the...

During the 1950s Chiang feared the CIA was planning to overthrow him and replace him with a pro Taiwan Independence leader. If someone like Sun Li-Jen, who was arrested for allegedly planning to do just that, successfully takes power and declares Taiwan's independence, what would the long term...

What if a more pragmatic Hitler sees the value in Jewish scientists and prevents from leaving by guaranteeing them protection and other incentives to stay, or perhaps even forcing them to work if they're unwilling? How much of an advantage would German technology get from people like Albert...

Is it plausible with an early enough POD, perhaps going back to the Qing Dynasty, which would make China a hyper-nationalist/fascist nation hell bent on conquering its neighbors? It then allies with Nazi Germany and carries out the Pacific war against the Allies as Japan did in OTL. How much...
