In this alternate reality, the 1880s channel tunnel was a success. The tunnel is huge enough for tanks to move through. After the battle of france, Hitler is presented with the chance to literally drive into Britain. What happens next?

From what I understand, the movement was formed by nations who did not want to be formally aligned with either the east or the west. Yet the movement did contain some blatantly communist countries like Cuba and Benin for example. Does this make the NAM hypocritical? Additionally has NAM outlived...

You can choose whatever POD you want to make this happen.:D

Instead of constantly retreating, the Russian armies face off against Napoleon and are anhialiated. Moscow is captured before it is burned and Russia surrenders. What sort of treaty would Napoleon engineer and what would be the future from that point?

A strategic bombing campaign aimed at destroying war industries, power stations, coal mines, water treatment plants and major harbours. How would this impact the war going forward.

What intrinsic advantages did the British possess that the other nations of Europe did not? Britain was late to the game of imperialism. Spain and Portugal preceded Britain and yet Britain ultimately surpassed them. Was it the industrial revolution? If you say so then it can be argued that the...

Within the realms of plausibility of course.

What if George Lucas died in the 90's and Michael Bay was hired to do the star wars prequels. How would the plots be? Better or worse than OTL? I'm guessing they would be full of explosions all the way through like in the transformers movies.

What if Germany wins a convincing victory at the battle of the somme in 1916?

I've been reading recently about Australian invasion fears in the 1930s and 40s. There is of course the famous 'He's coming south' poster but even before that, the Australians had expressed dismay at the Singapore strategy as they felt it left the country open to Japanese invasion. With that in...

How would India have gained independence? I'm assuming the British wouldn't have kept their promise of gradual evolution to dominionhood.

Personally I would go with the British defeat at Singapore. They outnumbered and outgunned the Japanese, even had more supplies and yet still ended up losing.

It's got the land and the natural resources so why didn't immigrants come in droves like they did in America. Was it because Canada is colder? Imagine how much more powerful the British Empire would have been if it had an "America" under its belt.

If Germany doesn't resume USW then America won't enter the war. Without American numbers, the entente is outnumbered on the western front once the German divisions pour in from Russia. What happens then?

It wasn't even carried out. If anything its hilariously ambitious. It was simply a plan and yet it brings up so many emotions on this site. Why is that?

1. Why was it left alone by the imperialists. Was it because it would be politically incorrect to subjugate a fellow Christian nation? 2. Why didn't Abyssinia try to industrialize like the Ottomans and Egyptians tried to do?

According to him, Germany posed no threat to Britain. He's argued that had Britain stayed out of the war, Germany would have beaten France by 1916 and established something like the European union which would actually have been in Britain's interests. I'm not sure but I think he was referring to...
