IOTL, Japan beat China 3-1 during that match, and the Chinese rioted after that match due to historical animosities between the two countries. You can read more here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3541380.stm WI, China not only lost, but lost humiliatingly like Brazil did yesterday...

Just wondering, what paradox would you say is most realistic and contains the least possibilities to pull off ASB type events? I would probably rank the Hoi series as the most unrealistic, given how frequently you see players carry out Sealion or even an invasion of America. My bet for most...

Jackie Chan claims that he was once surrounded by 20 members of the mafia, threatened with knives and guns, and took out his knives and grenades to protect himself, resulting in a standoff. This is only a claim he made, so we don't even know for sure if it happened, but lets say it was real and...

One of the biggest fuels of the Iranian Revolution was the expulsion of the Khomeini from his refuge in Iraq. The Shah wanted Khomeni gone from Iraq because he was inciting anti Shah opposition in Iran. However, the move proved counter-productive, as Khomeni's new home in Paris gave him better...

I remember reading that during the negotiation to end the war, one of the conditions Britain originally thought of for peace was an Indian nation that encompasses much of the Great Lakes. If America suffered even more from the war, could the British actually try to force an independent Indian...

In the alien invasion film Independence day, what would be the fate of humanity if the aliens win? (The virus either fails to make it to the mothership or fails to work on board, or the plan was never executed in the first place). Most curiously though, how will pockets of humans in the most...

The POD is that the Ottomans stay neutral in WWI, and survives past World War I. Will the Jews ever still be able to emigrate to Palestine in large numbers. And what are the possibilities of Israel forming? I would imagine some sort of separatist movement that gains international sympathy...

After the Chinese Civil War, the U.S. was ready to abandon the KMT, but the Korean War made America place the 7th fleet in the Taiwan Strait. Let's say that Kim Il sung never invaded South Korea, so Taiwan remains unprotected. Would the PRC have the capability to pull off an amphibious assault...

In the recent airstrike, GAddafi's son was killed and his parents were in the same house. WI, gaddafi dies as well? I' m not sure if this is the right forum to post, so move this thread if you mods see fit.

I've seen a lot of people claim that if Nationalist China win the CCW, then China would be a much bigger of Taiwan or South Korea. The problem is, China is dirt poor in the 1950s, while Taiwan and SK already had some development under Japan, not to mention that Taiwan and SK are small and thus...

I understand during WW2, Chiangkaishek seriously considered sending troops to Tibet, and ordered his General Ma Bufang to station several thousand troops. What if Chiang actually ordered the invasion to take? How would the international reaction be, the outcome of the Sino-Japanese war, and...

In 1807, while signing the treaty of tilsit, the raft overturns drowning everyone on board. How would this change the course of European history, with the leaders of two major countries in Europe are dead? I would imagine Napoleon's empire to crumble much sooner, but how might this also change...

Let's say Mao Zedong's son, Mao Anying, did not get killed by the Americans in Korea, and returns to China after the war. Would Mao Anying have succeeded his father when he dies and continued the Cultural Revolution? And without Deng Xiaoping in charge, would China have never opened up to the...

During WW2, almost 40% of Hawaii's population are of Japanese descent. If Japan manages to win Midway and pull off a successful invasion of the Hawaiian islands (probably borderline ASB), how would they treat people of their own kind?

So are you guys excited for the Tomorrow the war begins movie? Personally, I am a fan of the old movie Red Dawn but the remake seems like a big pile of junk. Tomorrow is gonna be a better movie, I believe. Also, what nation do you think could MOST qualify as the enemy in the Tomorrow...

What if China modernizes its army and technology in the 18th and 19th century instead of shutting themselves from the world, while the Japanese stubbornly refuse outside interaction despite Commodore Perry's visit in 1853? China, having a much bigger population, would probably be a much...

I'm curious how would our world be like today if the cold war continues. If there is already another thread about this, then feel free to close this down if you feel its a repeat, but send me the link to that thread.
