This possibly belongs in ASB (I don't mind the mods moving it, although I felt it was worth a shot in pre-1900), but might be possible with a significant and early POD. So this TL premise is gonna sound strange, but I watched this 1995 adaptation of Richard III where the plot of Shakespeare's...

So let's say the revolutionaries are defeated, or that the rebellion never happens at such a large scale due to more appeasing British management. Just hand-wave the whole thing, it doesn't matter how. My question is, how would the political subdivisions look and develop? What would the...

IOTL while the negotiations were taking place about Norway leaving the Union with Sweden, there was a build-up of forces along the border. The Swedes eventually accepted the seccession, but what if they hadn't? Who would've won the war, and how would this affect Europe, with WW1 on the horizon...

So when Norway was ceded to Sweden IOTL they refused, and Sweden invaded. Sweden won relatively quickly and the personal union that would last until 1905 was enforced. But what if they hadn't won? I know the balance of forces wasn't exactly in favor of Norway, but what if Swedish forces were...

(The POD may be in the late 19th Century, but I still feel it belongs here.) Seeing how the French and the British weren't exactly the best of friends historically speaking, I think it would be interesting to see how this might continue into the 20th Century for a TL I'm planning. The goal is...

To my knowledge, this has been done surprisingly few times. How could the Kalmar Union (I know it wasn't officially called that, but regardless) survive? IOTL the Swedes rebelled over under-representation in government. The union collapsed, more or less as a result of Sweden breaking away, in...

As far as I understand, Charles de Gaulle had as his Cold War policy the maintenance of France a significant power, even to the extent of forming some sort of non-American, Western European third party, although militarily aligned to NATO. He also wanted to maintain the colonial empire, build...

I realize Italy was not yet united when Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769, but that was, if I remember correctly, very shortly after the French took the island. I do not know if the Italian states had any sort of pact with each other making such an attack unlikely, but what if a major Italian...

The Nazis used ex-Soviets in their war effort, and there was talk of making a "Russian Liberation Army", although it never really became an army, just groups of soldiers attached to German armies. But let's say they try a different tactic. Using Konstantin Rodzaevsky, the Russian Fascist leader...

How plausible is this, and how "original" is it as an idea? All I see for the most part is alternate WW2 outcomes. Don't think I've seen this one done before, so I wanted to check with you guys. The Triple Entente is defeated in WW1 and is subject to the same treatment as the OTL losers. They...
