  1. Which front Germany should focus first on WWI, Western or Eastern one?

    AFAIK it has been universally agreed that, if in WWI Germany has focused the attacks on just one front and went defensive on the other one, the Germans could have won the War. However, the question is now: which front should Germany focus first? I've seen arguments from both sides, which...

  2. The Worst and Most Dystopian World Possible

    The idea here is to create the world where humanity is in the most miserable condition as possible. This is not about nuclear war, plagues, natural disasters, etc. This is about building the worst international order possible. Our fellow member rvbomally has suggested this in a past thread...

  3. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Most Responsible Countries for the First World War

    Sorry to bring back ages-old debate, but I have just read through old threads and polls about this particular topic (who was to blame for WWI?), and noticed that it has been nearly universally agreed that Austria-Hungary was the most responsible for starting it (yes, Germany gave the blank...

  4. Better Fate for Russia and China: The Romanovs or Bolsheviks, The Qing or Kuomintang?

    Let's say there are four different AH scenarios with PODs no earlier than 1900: 1) The World War I ended up with a quick Entente victory in 1915, Tsarist Russian Empire reformed itself up, stalemated the World War II against Anglo-German alliance 2) The economic reforms of the Soviet Union is...

  5. Which one was more crucial and decisive: United States intervention in WWI, or WWII?

    I've seen arguments from both sides on the Internet. The first group argued that had the USA not entered the First World War on the Entente side, the Central Powers would've gained phyrric victory. OTOH, the Allies would still win the Second World War regardless of US intervention, since no...

  6. Worst Mistakes made by the Axis during World War II

  7. Russian Empire vs. United States, 1914

    In 1914, Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand was not shot. Instead a failed assassination attempt on the Tsar Nicholas II takes place in Moscow. This is traced back to a pro-democracy group backed financially by the US state department (Wilson got a little crazy stupid at some point). Outraged, Russia...

  8. The World after Operation Unthinkable - Better or Worse than OTL?

    Just seeing another interesting map by rvbomally, which depicted the aftermath of Operation Unthinkable. Which leaves me wonder: is this ATL overall better or overall worse than our world? The positives are of course the elimination of decades-long Cold War and the "liberation" of both Russia...

  9. Which one contribute more to the Allied war effort: France, Canada, Poland, or China?

    I once read an old thread (I forgot which one) about who are the 4th biggest contributors to the Allied war effort in the WWII: France/Free French Forces, Dominion of Canada, Poland/Polish government-in-exile, or China (both Kuomintang and Chinese Communists). The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd biggest...

  10. The Best Alternate Terminology for "Tanks" and "United Nations"

    In nearly all of alternate timelines that I've read, I notice that there are always alternate names or terms for armored fighting vehicles that we call in OTL "tanks", and some sort of international/global organization that in OTL we call "United Nations". I can't help but wonder, which one...
