This is a revision of my “United States of the Americas and Oceania” TL, done with the aim to correct some details that in a reexamination proved unrealistic or suboptimal for the scope of the story. The goal and main course of the story remains the same, some turns may differ. Since part of...

What if at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the European powers let Napoleon retire to exile in the USA ? The search function did not yield me anything really interesting on the subject. How would America treat him, and how Napoleon would spend the last years of his life as a free man and a guest...

In the TLs where Manifest Destiny is wholly successful and the USA eventually absorbs Canada (it joins the ARW), Mexico (wholly annexed after the MAW), Cuba (conquered before or after the ACW), the Dominican Republic (peacefully annexed after the ACW), and quite possibly other chunks of the...

Let's assume that ITTL Germany and Italy fight WWI together, yet lose to the Entente nonetheless. Convergent butterflies make it so that a WWII still happens in the late 1930s, yet they have sane far-right leaderships that leave the Jews alone. Hence, all the Jewish German-Austrian, Italian, and...

As I was reviewing my last map-making effort, I realized that it is actually rather silly and counterproductive IMO that the EU has not its official UCS color. Consider how frequently the EU becomes an actual federal super-state in AH, FH, and ASB TLs alike, and how rather plausible the change...

Here is the strategic and diplomatic challenge: Sweden joins the CP in August 1914 thanks to the Admiral Essen PoD, Italy joins the CP in May 1915 because the first PoD makes the Entente look weak enough or Germany strongarms Austria to cede Trento and Gorizia and in any case they are promised...

This is a variant of a TL of mine, springing from the same basic PoD, but with a few key differences that make it go in a wholly different direction. It also gets inspiration and a lot of ideas from this other masterful TL. Although Onkel Willie’s “Great Mistake” has already developed the...

PoD: it is a clear night in Berlin Tempelhof Airport on November 8, 1939, and Adolf Hitler elects to return to Berlin by airplane as planned, after he delivers his Beer Hall Putsch commemoration speech in Munich. The bomb planted in the Hall by the anti-Nazi joiner Georg Elser goes off as...

Assuming that Napoleon defeats Russia, crushes Iberian insurgents, and wipes out Austria and Prussia, how much time and effort would Napoleonic Europe need to raise a Navy able to challenge British global naval hegemony (if the Napoleonic Empire and the British Empire revert to a Cold War...

Let's assume a TL where Canada/Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland side with the Patriots in the ARW, America wins but the Southern states go separate. In due time the southern entity expands to include Florida, Texas, the Southwest, northern Mexico, the British Caribbean and/or the Spanish...

We assume that YOU are an evil Communist, and the most heard advisor of Stalin. Starting in 1941, what advice would you give to the Vohzd to achieve all his goals?

We assume that YOU are an evil fascist, and the most heard advisor of Mussolini. Anything less than full loyalty to the Axis is unthinkable to you. Starting in 1936, what advice would you give to the Duce to achieve all his goals?

This is meant to be the sister thread and scenario variant of a discussion where we analyzed the WWI peace treaty, interbellum world, and WWII in a TL where the CPs, thanks to CP Italy and neutral America, were victorious. In that thread, Britain got a quite favorable peace and achieved lasting...

What the title says. If, by whatever PoD, Britain, Denmark, and Sweden were in the Eurozone, would the current Greek debt crisis be better, worse, or unchanged ? On one hand, adding UK economy to the eurozone would substantially reinforce it. OTOH, Britain has currently potential debt problems...

An issue that was recently touched upon in another thread, but perhaps deserves its own place to be discussed in some depth: In a TL where Italy sides with the CPs (who have all the OTL members as well; Sweden, Netherlands, Romania, and Spain optional) and America remains neutral, leading to...

The relevant facts are summarized here. Let's assume that by the opportune PoD (political crisis, the Great Depression hitting French economy more severely) France is not in the position to block the birth of the Austro-German customs union in 1931. The union is established by both countries...

The scenario I propose is a variant of BlairWitch 749's masterful "Manstein in Africa" TL (here, here, and here). The PoD (Manstein being sent to Africa to head the Africa Corps instead of Rommel) is the same, as well as the broad strategic consequences: gradual Axis military and economic total...

Your challenge, with a post-1939 PoD, is to come up with a scenario where, by 1950, the OTL post-WWII fates of Germany and Japan are reversed. Japan is divided into a Soviet-ruled Communist North (Hokkaido and northern Honshu) and a democratic South (rest of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu)...

This is a spinoff thread of my last Middle Age TL scenario. Since it emerged from discussion that it caused changes of world-changing relevance to Islam, I thought that the issue deserved its own topic. TL resume: the PoD in 1190-1197 concerns the survival of Frederick I Barbarossa to a...

There's the challenge: with a post-1789 PoD, get two German states, that arise no later than 1870 and endure up to 2010, with the following borders or better: North Germany: all the states that were included in the North German Confederation, plus Bohemia and Moravia. Denmark may get northern...
