I'm not sure if this topic has been broached before, but I'm interested in what the forum's views might be on the development an Independent America would take that is limited to just the 13 original colonies. I'm not sure what the POD would be to get here, I guess some kind of military...

Hi All, I am interested in the boards opinion on the plausibility and possible effects of a neutral Italy in WW1. I understand that both sides were heavily lobbying Italy, but the majority of the population and even the parliament were against intervening. If we take the POD as King Emmanuel...

For followers of Australian Politics the last few days about the proposed carbon tax and the opinion polls really had me thinking about how different things could've been if Beazley won the 2007 election. Irrespective of whether the mining tax or the carbon tax are good policies, they have not...

Hi All, As the topic says - How much could a neutral Italy get away with in WW2? Mussolini had many territorial claims throughout Europe including; Nice, Savoy, Corsica and Dalmatia. He also had his eye on Malta, Corfu and Tunisia - and of course potentially on Greece. In the event...

With a POD no earlier then the Treaty of Paris 1783, what would be required for the majority of the USA to voluntarily rejoin the British Empire? I understand there was a substantial loyalist faction in New England which presented itself as a credible force in the War of 1812, but obviously...

Hi All, What would be required for Algeria to remain a part of France today, and what would the possible effects of it be? From what I have read, of all the decolonisation movements, Algeria was unique in that France considered her to be an integral part of the nation. This was in no small...

What are going to be the effects of Deputy Fuhrer Hess not taking his mysterious flight to Scotland in early 1941? Perhaps he is not duped into thinking he could broke peace with Britain - doesn't matter why, just that he does not depart Germany. How would him remaining as Deputy Fuhrer...

Greetings, I have been reading Winston Churchill's 'The Second World War' and within it Churchill states that Hitler's rise to power may have been prevented, if the victors at Versailles had of created a Consitutional Monarchy, as opposed to the Weimar Republic. Regardless that is not the...

WI Jesus Christ, the Messiah, directly condemned certain things that are highly debated even now by theologians. Things like slavery and homosexuality? I am aware that Theologians can make sense out of any agenda they may be inclined to support - slavery is a great example of this, where many...

With a POD no earlier than 1836, what would be needed to prevent Mexico from losing its war against America in 1846, and thus losing a massive amount of its territory. Is it possible for Britain to intervene in Mexico's favour (with the potential effect of Britain obtaining concessions in...

With a POD after 1900, make Spain a credible power in Europe by the time WW2 begins. It may or may not have been neutral in WW1, but I suspect it will have been because I dont think it has much to gain by entering that conflict. The idea is that by the time WW2 starts, Spain is strong enough...

G'day, Am looking for a plausible scenario in which the Benelux nations form maybe a union or at the very least an alliance with strong co-operation ties. I imagine the POD for this would be for the Germans to fully implement the Schlieffen Plan and they proceed with an invasion of the...

Greetings, I would like to invite discussion on a continuation of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. What are the likely PODs for such an outcome? A stronger Japanese contribution to World War One may be one possibility, I am sure there are others. I understand one of the main reasons for...
