I just finished it, fantastic book. I'd love to see what happens after though, maybe a few generations? It would be interesting to see a more long term effect the Legionnaires would have had on the Empire.

What would happen if starting 1945, after seeing the Holocaust, the United States embarks an absolute, zero tolerance to any war crimes, genocides, atrocities, or violations of the Geneva Convention, with or without world consent? This also means refugee crisis and any large scale humanitarian...

The idea I had is that around the world certain pieces of art are given the power to be considered 'pinnacle' art. This is everything from film to videogames to painting and sculpture. These pieces are considered pinnacles of their form, superior in every sense of the word. The reactions the...

The planners of 9/11 supposedly had many more targets in mind but only managed to pull off the ones in OTL. What happens if 9/11 goes off spectacularly from their point of view, meaning many more targets on the east coast are hit, a few in the midwest as well as a few on the west coast. These...

So what if somehow it comes to light that America somehow was responsible for the supposed chemical weapon attacks in Syria. The reason is to justify an entry and occupation of Syria. They somehow used an advanced stealth submarine to launch the missiles and through(insert technobabble here)...

I'm reading Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto and in it there was quite a bit about their future plans for updating San Andreas, one of which was releasing a patch that unlocks the so dubbed 'Hot Coffee' mod that allows visual sex among other things. So lets say the modders hadn't...

My question is how much did the presence of the United States determince the appeasement going on leading up to world war two? Did the British/French/Democracies have the idea that the United States was going to bail them out should they need help ala WW1?

What would a war between the United States and China look like? I highly doubt they would be able to land soldiers on the US mainland, as well as the United States being unable to effective form a beach-head on mainland China. Would China have any allies to call in? Would it fund arms to Syria...

Lets say the USSR gets the jump on us like is assumed in most scenarios, but we beat them back and are now entering Russia proper. How would the invasion be handled? Would we attack at the same routes Germany did? How would the occupation work? Would it be broken up into zones like Germany?

I recently finished the book "Understanding Iraq, from the Mongols to the Americans", and have a few questions for the more versed in this area of expertise. While Iraq occupied Kuwait for the short while it did, Saddam Hussein was willing to go to the negotiation table on two conditions...

What would have to happen to get to 2012 without any World Wars? What would a 2012 look like that has not experienced either of the World Wars, or any other wars of such size?

I love the idea of Gran Colombia, and would be immensely curious what could have changed to not only keep it around by have it be a Great Power by the time the Great War breaks out. The first step I can think of is building the Panama Canal ASAP for trade but beyond that I can't decide much...

How possible is it for Germany to have a peaceful unification with Austria in modern times?

I have been curious about what the peak power the Germans could have attained if they stopped at France, and consolidated both technologically and militarily. Would they have had enough time to build a nuclear bomb, raise a large enough army to properly defeat the Soviets, and keep Nazi Europe...

I know we lost the formula to make Concrete until roughly the 17th century, and I have heard about how the Romans had a way of brewing alcohol that we still have not been able to replicate. My knowledge on Rome is very vague, so I cannot list any more examples, but what were other technologies...
