In 1919 the British Navy had effectively created the first flushed decked aircraft carrier for use against the German Navy. However the war ended before the mission was completed. WI this mission was carried out with similar effects against the Italian Navy at Taranto in WW2? How would this...

If Anzio hasd achieved it intended purpose of encirclement and destruction of the Germans Army in Italy would it had essentially opened up a Second Front? If so, would this ATL ultimately change the dimensions of a Soviet dominated Eastern Europe after the war as Churchill had hoped for?

...so basically they had to fight. Therefore the die had essentially been caste mentally and logistically after Stalingrad since it had been proven that the Russian War Machine was not 'a rotten edifice (sic) ready to cave in' as Hitler thought. If so, could it have been the case that the...

No battle of Kursk. What then? :confused:

I'm sure this has come up somewhere in some form (and I did search). Full commitment of US forces to Afghanistan with no Iraq war after 9/11 ATL: - Despite an active international campaign to establish a ‘Coalition of The Willing’ against Iraq, few US allies support the call in light of...

I think Australia's "White Australia' Policy after the WW2 might have messed that POD up abit though a sizable Jewish pop did settle in Melbourne as I understand it. Your last wish...oh ma-an. :(

If you coulld change three events in history after 1900 what would they be and why?

If you could change three historical events prior to 1900 what would they be and why?

I think we are talking about a very different state of affairs with European relations dominated by Hitler. Consequently I dont think it would have been too much of a stretch to imagine Edward could/should be reinstated with his fascist leanings/connections. It seems logical in this climate...

I’m really aware of sounding like some kind of Nazi Revisionist but I thought with a few butterflies namely: (1) the death of PM Stanley Baldwin (2) Moseley remaining a closet fascist. (3) British appeasement resulting in US neutrality in WW2 (4) Aggressive Imperial stance towards Japan. Things...

I agree. Interesting. In this ATL the Brits may still be struggling to contain North America. France and Holland had also made claims to parts of Australia yet could not back them up against a Britain who had now focussed its energies elsewhere after losing its American colonies.

War Plan Red, also known as the Atlantic Strategic War Plan, was a plan for the United States to make war with Great Britain. It was developed by the United States Army during the mid 1920s, approved in May 1930 by the Secretary of War and the Secretary of Navy, updated in 1934-35, and...
