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?

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 was looking at an old thread in respect to Australia whereby it was suggested that if the British succeeded in the American War of Independence their focus would have remained upon North America leaving the Dutch to essentially colonize "New Holland" as an extension of the Dutch East Indies...

WI the Japanese held onto Manchuria and focussed only on non-US 'soft' SE Asian targets such as the Dutch East Indies & British protectorates thus gaining their Asian empire with a whole lot less heartache. Hell, they might even get some great trading terms from Australia who are left...

Goering is less of a fat stingy bastard and a naval air arm is developed including German Aircraft Carrier(s). Where out from here oh arm chair generals? :D

I was watched a documentary called Churchill's Darkest Decision last night which focused on the British sinking of the French Fleet at the port of Mers-el-Kebir in 1940. To the unacquainted Churchill, fearful that important elements of the the French Fleet would fall into German hands, issued...

WI the Mexicans had not pursued a policy of active European colonization of Texas allowing it to remain an arid wilderness left to the native Indians? Would the Mexican-American War have been butterflied away or was it inevitable that Texas, California (for its gold), New Mexico, Arizona etc...

WI, after an Allied failure to establish a foothold in both Normandy and Italy and with the Russian breathing down their necks to establish a second front, is it feasible for them to contrive some kind of 'Iraq/WMD' justification for an incursion into Fascist Spain possibly to establish a...

WI Italians had established a greater military capability prior to the outbreak of WW2 (e.g. active embedding of German command structures & units, joint training & military maneuvers, 'exchange programs' with SS to foster greater cooperation and modeling of fascist ideals etc). How would this...

Most people are probably familiar with the modern day tradition of Kris Kringles whereby people anonymously give out presents to work colleagues and loved ones with often (un)humorous results e.g. pornographic Santa figurines, lingerie form men, singing wall fish etc Other items like Looney...
