Your challenge: with a POD after 1820, have Russia aquire the entirety of Manchuria, including the parts that are Chinese IOTL. Bonus points if you can make OTL Chinese Manchura majority Russian (considering that this area didn't become majority Han until the later half of the 19th century, I...

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a world where: 1. The Polabians remain Slavic speaking, and are the majority population in the area they inhabit. (Assimilating them into another Slavic ethnic group, like the Poles or Czechs, is OK.) 2. As a consequence of...

I think we might have had some discussions on this before, but I wanted to ask the board, once and for all-is there any way Trotsky could have won WWII? Yes, I know he was fighting the entire rest of Europe and that, after the Soviet intervention in the German Civil War went pear-shaped, its...

OTL, after the February Revolution, the Provisional Government of Russia decided to continue participating in WWI, with disastrous results. What if, instead, they had made peace with Germany in say, April or May? The collapse of the Russian army hasn't occurred yet, so its still a credible...

Reading about the Polish November Uprising on wiki...I've gathered that this board seems to have a thing with Wikipedia and Poland, but all the same, from that article, the uprising doesn't seem like something doomed from the start-if we believe wiki's numbers for troop strength, the Russians...

Persia was, during the latter half of the 19th C, a rather weak country with poor armed forces and a lot of Russian influence. What POD would it take for Russia to fully annex it, or most of it? And what might the effects be? (I'm particularly wondering how much benefit ice-free ports on the...

If the United States had stayed completely neutral throughout the entire course of WWI, trading with both sides but never entering the war or directly participating in the peace negotiations, how would the war most likely have gone? Would Germany's Spring Offensive have succeeded without...

Instead of Poland and Lithuania forming a personal union as OTL, is it possible that Bohemia and Poland could have united? Also, what might be some of the effects? Which kingdom is most likely to wind up dominating the union, and might we eventually see either the Czech or Polish languages...

So, I was reading this thread in chat, and I noticed all the comments about how good the Czech arms industry was, in particular of how the Germans continued to use Czech-designed tanks throughout WWII, and a thought struck me... What if Czechoslovakia and Poland had been closer allies during...

Two part question: -1. What PODs would work to avoid the Polish partitions and allow the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (or a successor state) to survive down to the present day. I'm willing to take any answer, so long as it doesn't prevent the Commonwealth from developing in a recognizable...
