I assume we have no fly to West or to the Sunbelt, so the population on the East North Central states (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Milwaukee) would be about 60-65 million people by 2010. Chicago area population would be around 14-15 million people; a expanded Detroit area (including...

^^ Well Typo, we can make one of the March 1943 assassination attempts works, as suggested Eurofed. The military sizes the opportunity and take the power. This period was specially good fot the Germans, as they pushed Americans back to Algeria and recaptured Kharkov. And why the war shouldn't...

First, let me make clear I'm not avoiding to explain the lines of the story. We are already on the third page discussing the very first line. When I came up with the idea, 3 days ago, I really thought that was the best way to tell it, like the classic OTL timelines. I intend on the future to...

If the Wikipedia (or any other outlet) can tell the OTL like this, why can I not organize my ATL following the same patterns? I intend on the future, to organize a more detailed storyline, developing the events which led to the end of war in Europe, Japan's defeat, India independence, the...

Ok, biased or not, Eurofed give us a very plausible scenario that could work. Thereby, your "wildly implausible, borderline fantasy storyline" claim doesn't stand anymore. You may not like the storyline, but the implausibility thing is disputable. And, I'll follow your advice of using...

Now I'm not understand you: why do you think I was not understanding you?.. Don Lardo, unlike you're insinuating, I was familiar with the two 1943's attempts. I believe on the Shirer's book he describe quite well the incident. I remember vaguely (there is more than 10 years since I read it)...

Beautiful. It's a completely plausible scenario. I'd try to end the war by 1943 and look for a minor impact in both British and American politics. I agree with you: sometimes the colleagues claim a scenario is not plausible more on the grounds they don't like it than on the plausibility per se...

Again Don Lardo, you didn't understand me. Of course I'm not learning about world history from the Wikipedia's timeline. What I said, I just adopted their aesthetics in terms of how to tell my story. As you can see, they tell the world history of the decades in 10 or 12 lines. I decided to do...

^^ Well, Hong Kong had British-only clubs and no democracy up to the 1980's and the population was happier than ever with the British rule. Britain, with the political will, could hold the Commonwealth (bringing together the White Dominions into a closer union, instead of pushing than away to...

^^^^ Thank you! I'll do it! If I'd sized one of these, I could avoid one page of discussions over the first line of my story. After the Hitler's death, the military took over and voilà! Back to the story about a stronger Europe. Wow, it's difficult to hold a storyline around here! The early...

I don't agree with this. There were huge sections of German society not-nazified at all. Catholics, lutherans, conservatives, liberals, social-democrats, socialists. They could form easily a passive majority. I'm not sure, but I remember to read on The Rise and the Fall of the Third Reich...

But that's not a Nazi Germany we're talking about here. About the resentments, we should consider the Europe would be spared of 2 years of Nazi crimes, so probably the resentments would be smaller than OTL. Anyway, the Russians killed millions of people inside the USSR and outside, to defeat the...

But why? Let's assume during the peace discussions the German present their plan, retaining Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the Allies theirs, which could be pretty much similar to OTL. So, Germany retaining Austria, Danzig, Memel and its political, economic and military independence could...

Well, we could settle the POD as early as January 1943 and the military coup by the end of the year. So the dinamics on eastern front could still favour the Soviet (but less than ATL) and the relation between Hitler and the Werhmacht could be worsened. About giving up Poland, Germans could...

But what are the real objections towards the British Empire idea? In the OTL the British Empire fall apart whereas there was a trend pushing for decolonization. However, I don't think this fenomena, in ATL, is unavoidable. During the 1950-1990 period, we got a lot of dictatorships scaterred...

Do you think so? I mean, we're talking about a 1,500 miles retreat in German lines and the Soviet always seemed very pragmatic to me. They got almost the entire eastern Europe, pretty much what they got it in OTL. About the western Allies, it's important to notice Churchill opposed the...

Well, I created this timeline assuming a stronger Europe emerges after an early ending of WWII. What would it be the effects over the decolonization process and more important, the political role of European countries in the international arena? I intend to bring the story up to 2000 (map on the...

That's a 2000 map after an earlier ending of WWII: ^^ I'm still working on the storyline, but I already have the main facts and some data like population, GDP and military.
