Well? It certainly makes a lot more sense: Italy had historical ambitions over Dalmatia, it could have gathered support among Croatians, Montenegrins and Albanians, the countries shared two frontiers instead of one, and there was little the British could do about it.

So WI Reza Shah had really followed Ataturk's steps as he claimed and turned Iran into a (one party, semi-authoritarian) republic instead of assuming the throne himself?

Casually found about this this morning, and since there is a spike of "French X" threads... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Incident_%28Hawaii%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Invasion_of_Honolulu So WI France had pushed for annexation of Hawaii by 1860?

Well, since it's been a long time since I proposed a POD, what about this. John Tyler was the 10th president of the United States and the first not to be elected. Originally VP of William H. Harrison, he acceded to the presidency when the latter died just one month after his inauguration in...

What would be the consequences of the HMS Leopard incident leading up to an earlier declaration of war between the US and the UK ?

I've heard many times that in some aspects they are like independent nations...

Did anybody play this game? It was a strategy game developed in the Cezch Republic around 2000. I played a demo. The story was quite weird: In the future, the world is running out of oil when a new alternative source of energy is discovered: Siberite, a mineral only found in... well, Siberia...

Well, there have been a thousand threads and TLs where the USA or CSA buy half of the world if they want it. Now the task is simple: Can you make the opposite happening?

"Treacherous land" inhabited by damyankees or "stolen part of the homeland" (sorta American Alsace-Lorraine)?

a.k.a War of the Spanish Succession, round 2. The Spanish tried to debunk the Treaty of Utrecht in 1717 and invaded Sardinia and Sicily while Austria was distracted fighting the Turks. The British and Dutch intervened on Austria's behalf but the real reason that turned the tide was (surprise)...

As you can see, the Brunete offensive in July 1937 almost reached the 'Nacional' base camp near Madrid. However, a later counter-attack in which the Condor Legion played a major part was able to drive the Republicans back, leaving them with minimal gains. I think this POD could be useful...

What could be different?

There must be a way to achieve this. The frontier between Ecuador and Peru was ill-drawn since the 19th century and Peru and Colombia fought border classes over Leticia in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1941 Peru and Ecuador went to full conflict over border disputes, just some months before Pearl...

Yes, this probably seems and is very much out of his character, but there is an apparent little window according to the infalible Wikipedia. It says that around 1908 Wilhelm faced a depression and from then on he looked older and apathic than before. Apparently, this was mainly because of his...

Is there a plausible way to achieve that? Assuming, of course, they weren't overthrown in 1911.

The Oldman and the Girl A History of Ambition, Marriages, Battles and Bedroom Problems in early Modern Age Spain >>A hardly known fact is that there was an actual chance of Aragon and Castile uniting at the end of the 15th Century. Had Isabella the Ambitious been victorious over the...

Fuego sobre San Juan (Pedro A. García Bilbao & Javier Sánchez Reyes, 1998) is a short AH novel that depicts a Spanish victory in the Spanish-American War of 1898. This war is one that doesn’t receive any remarkable interest in the average AH gender and never (except in this case, as far I know)...

France's oportunistic war against Spain in 1667 faced an unexpected obstacle when England, Sweden and the Netherlands signed an alliance in 1668 and threatened France with intervention. Louis XIV took the menace seriously and signed the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle with Spain in that year...

Hoxa toyed with the idea before Tito's break up with Stalin. Hoxa, who was a devote stalinist, broke then relations with Yugoslavia. Later, as we all know, he broke relations with the USSR after Stalin's deat and the erasing of its "legacy", and drove Albania into the Chinese ideology camp. As a...

Assuming he existed in OTL, what would had been his life? The TL must be roughly OTL, at least on the international contest. So scenarios in which Featherstone seizes power in the USA, declares himself dictator, invades Mexico and drops A-Bombs over Moscow aren't allowed.
