Adolph Hitler, in reference to the Soviet Union, once famously claimed that all one had to do was kick in the door and the whole rotten structure would come crashing down. Some would say that this declaration was prophetic when, in the aftermath of Barbarossa, the Soviet Union disintegrated...

This one is pretty short and to the point . . . Even if I'm pretty damn sure that it requires an ASB level event to happen, given the mindset of the militarists. Let's just say that, for whatever reason, they don't use things like Marco Polo Bridge to try to take all of China. That Japan...

I figure this is a game that falls in line for an alternate history discussion. Radiant Historia is a fantasy game that deals with alternate history. (And saving the world.) The main character gets his hands on an artifact that lets him travel through time and space called the White...

Just a simple question inspired by a thread from another section of the board. Between 1900 and today, was it in any way likely or possible for world events to push the primary Anglosphere nations into some sort of political union? (The United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia...

Basically, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria ally with Germany earlier than they did OTL. (In Hungary's case instead of a puppet Slovakia, they annex the Slovakians when the Germans annex the Czechs.) It's a very openly known, if you attack one of us you attack all of us thing. (No...

This is maybe a little thought exercise buuuut . . . It all starts with an alternate National Socialist party. It's similar to the one we know in a broad strokes sense, but has a few interesting differences. They aren't rabidly anti-semitic and don't delude themselves into thinking they could...

Operation Himmler was a series of false flag operations enacted just prior to the invasion of Poland that were supposed to make it look like Poland struck first so that any German military actions against Poland could be called "self defense". It failed to convince anyone on the international...

Just a simple thing . . . Is it in any way likely that Germany and Austria could ever again become a single nation? Or does the WW2 stigma associated with the Anschluss mean that such a reunification will be impossible? Is it simply too late? Are Austria and Germany presently too different...

In the entire history of NATO, has their ever been an attempt at some kind of jointly developed, standardized weapons or vehicles? To clarify, something like weapons manufacturers from all the members of NATO coming together to design say . . . an assault rifle, tank, or jet meant to be...

Random bit of curiousity hit me. What if no Jewish homeland had been established? No Israel. No Soviet Republic. No British East Africa settlement. No Alaskan settlement. The world essentially goes "We're terribly sorry that the Holocaust happened to you but . . . ."...

This one is World War One oriented. Basically, the Germans originally promised the Belgians that they were just going to walk through Belgium to get at the French and had no intention of going to war with Belgium. France planned on invading Belgium if the Belgians granted the German army...

Let's say that the German advance makes the Soviets brown their pants so severely, that they beg for peace. That they're desperate enough to sign anything so long as they can continue existing . . . Even if it means they have to give up everything up to the Urals. It can be any number of...

Just a minor little change here. Hopefully not something overdone. In what ways might history be different if Britain had been able to completely integrate the Irish to the point that, even today, Ireland is considered just another part of the United Kingdom just like England, Scotland, and...

As anyone who pays attention to temporal affairs knows, the Axis was clearly supposed to win World War 2. Why, if not for the almost constant influx of travelers from the future offering direct, or covert, aid to the Allies Europe would forever be dominated by Fascism. Or at least that's the...

Exactly what the title says. I figure this is a different question than what is normally asked about the Civil War. There's obviously two different options to speculate about. Option A) The United States is able to prevent any and all secession from occurring. CSA never comes into...

Was there any way to see a United States that was the same kind of "neutral" as OTL, but favored the Axis powers over the Allies? Giving the Axis Lend-Lease and what not? Without turning America into a Fascist nation? At least not at first if you feel it absolutely must happen. Would all the...

Nobunaga Oda was quick to adopt the more useful things the Western world had to offer and was very inventive when it came to employing rifles, among other things. I also heard that before they went isolationist under the Tokugawa, the Japanese produced some of the best rifles in the world. So...

Would it in any way have been possible for the Nazi's to start some sort of 'redemption' program involving those they considered 'undesirables'? With the reason for them taking part being that those who volunteer for the program are made exempt from the harsh treatment they'd otherwise get...
