Let Nazi Germany collapse economically from suddenly deciding not to invade Western Europe after taking apart Poland. It'll do better than in OTL. Then pray the Soviets don't come a' knockin and form an Anti-Communist league so that Germany has better relations with the rest of the world...

I smell a habsburg wank. But technically if war of Spanish succession changed course and Phillipe does become king of Spain and France, this combined empire is bigger than anything else due to the colonial holdings.

Germany is wiped out in a nuclear war and becomes a radioactive wasteland. The Netherlands and Belgium are not spared. The only Germany left... is Luxembourg and Switzerland. :) Or how about this: The Mongols get into Central Europe through Austria, raid and pillage up to the Rhine. The HRE...

But then again, going to war isn't exactly the best thing to do in the first place, ignoring the drain from the military build-up. I'm not sure things would turn out as in OTL if Germany really does stop after modest gains and fights a purely defensive war after knocking the French out of...

Resignation and Suicide or Assassination.

The Entire (Surviving) Muslim world declares jihad on the US (and Israel). There is really nothing to lose for the Muslims who were devout. End of America. Well to be specific, for America to survive in anyway, it'll have to become a dystopic dictatorship or something shredding it's founding...

30th March, 1917. An explosion occurs off the coast of Sweden although the stormy seas ensured that no-one saw it. The source of the explosion, the ferry, "Queen Victoria", carrying Russian exiles onto their way to Trelleborg, Sweden on their returning to Russia from exile. One casualty in...

I know this is highly unlikely and risky for the Allies. But.. What is the best possible location to place an amphibious invasion of Germany within Germany territory? I suppose the time-frame would be between operation overlord and the German surrender. I know certain people debated on the...

But a financially ruined Germany might end up better than in OTL. There was considerable support for Anschluss. Is it possible for Greater Germany to stay intact? Besides, the looming threat of the Soviets would justify a military build-up and delay the financial collapse of Nazi Germany by...

If Hitler was less insane, he would end it after taking half of Poland. Fight a limited offensive against France and a defensive aerial/naval war against Britain until they ask for White Peace. No Sealion, No Battle for Britain or helping Mussolini. Greater Germany will end up being much...

An earlier POD might have colder relations between Germany and Italy. Italy still starts off allying with Germany and an earlier Italian offensive in France goes more successfully due to earlier preparations. Italy only helps itself to occupying a few key ports in France. Mussolini sends a...

Oo let me try: First French Revolutionary War - 1791-1799. French Republic, Denmark-Norway (1798-1799), USA (1796-1799), Dutch Republic (1794-1799), Poland (1794-1796), French puppet states. versus Holy Roman Empire, Prussia, Great Britain, Russia (1794-1799), Royalist France, Dutch...

I should of specified for a federated Germany like the German Empire being in the HRE. @Barbarossa Rotbart nice but a federated Germany along with various member states in the HRE seems to be much more interesting. I doubt the revival would cause the German states to unify and at that...

Is it possible for a unified Germany to remain in the Holy Roman Empire? The HRE must consist of more states than just...Germany. Any POD can do. But it'll make more sense if this is before the 1600s. Bonus points if Germany includes all of Greater Germany. Edit: Germany should be centralised...

Has anyone mentioned Venice? It could of stayed a world class city if it didn't anger one too many nations and the pope. How about Rangoon? A stronger more influential British presence could do it.

It could work if Mormonism was some altered form or sect of Judaism... But then it wouldn't be mormonism any more? - Mormonism spreads throughout the USA after the civil war through influential volunteers in the medical establishment, Mormon appeals to those suffering and gains converts in...

Would a Korean war still occur if the Chinese Civil War was stalemated on mainland China? A nationalist victory would probably make the ROC join the war against Korea in return for aid and supplies

What if someone designed a long ram-shaped cannon? You can get a late-era galley to ram a ship and then light the fuse. Combine that with explosive cannonballs and you'll get an early suicide ship. If it's effective or manages to sink a few ships, then galleys could potentially last a few...

You never said they had to be Muslim terrorists right? Maybe if N.K is more unstable and in danger of collapsing, S.K has a more extensive intelligence network in N.K and creates underground groups of fervent nationalists. Get a pilot to join one of these extremist groups and he can fly his...

You could hypothetically get all of continental asia and the middle-east under Communism and form a USS of Eurasia or TTL's equivalent of the Warsaw Pact. Start of with worsening relations between the US and Britain, then delay the creation of atomic weapons by a few years. Then during WW2...
