Pretty much what the title says, what if allied diplomats had been successful in either keeping Bulgaria neutral or winning it over completely to their camp? How would this have affected the other powers involved in the war, and how might the outcome of the final peace settlements change for...

And for bonus points, loses as hard and fast as possible. What effects does this have on South America as a whole, and how much more prosperous is Bolivia with acess to the sea?

I know this has probably been done before, and I would have used the search function...if it worked for me. However, something Wiking posted in another thread really grabed my attention. The quote: So, if France and Germany do go into civil war, with strongly socialist/communist...

As said on the tin, the challenge is to have Hungary remain independant from the Ottomans. All variables are open, though the closer to Mohacs, and if Hungary keeps its indedepence all together up to the present, the better! Super extra bonus points if Hungary somehow doesn't become an...

Inspired by the quote in my very own signature, the challenge here is simple: have Gallicia gain a colony and/or an empire. The longer the amount of time owned, the greater the size of the empire/colony, the greater.

Let us say, using a measure of handwavium, Woodrow Willson dies at some point in his first term. How will this change US policy? Will the Democrats still win the next election? How will Thomas Marshall act as president? EDIT: Wrong section. D'oh.

As the title says, the challenge is to have Austria-Hungary and its empire survive until 2010. Any means neccesary, "darker" methods of course frowned upon, however, acceptable as answers.

What is the quickest way the Central powers could have achived victory in the first world war, and what would be the repurcussions of such a victory? Could Austria-Hungary continue to lurch onward? What would the peace terms be like? How might we see political evolution in Germany altered, as...

Upon entering WW1, Italy was a financialy drained state from seizing Libya from the Ottomans and its failed Etheopian expedition. Colonialism though, as we all know, was a way to gain respect in the day, but Italy, newly united and with a army and navy struggling to properly integrate, found its...

I am curious, in the event of Central powers victory in WW1, what does Bulgaria get as a reward, and can it keep hold of what it gains? Would it mean more economic prosperity for Bulgaria or leave it an internation pariah? When exactly the war ends can be whatever time it would be most...

The Jin Dynasty is known as a extremaly short lived one, ending one period of warring states in China then quickly giving way to another. So the challenge here is simple, keep the Jin Dynasty stable and properous for as long as possible!

As the title says, what if the Safavids never promote conversion within Persia from Sunnism to Shia Islam, or never rise to power and a Sunni dynasty assumes power instead. Do we get a more or less stable Persia? And does this affect its relations with its neighbors much?

And no, for Italy the Romans and/or Odoacer don't count:p I vaugley remmeber reading some time ago that in the Middle ages, through dynastic marriges the Milanese came very close to this (minus the Papal states and Venice), but could they have realisticly done it? Or anyone else for that matter...

At Harran, the kingdom of Antioch and the Franks were halted in their crusade by the islamic powers, and it was the turning point of the crusaders after the intnital sucess of the first crusade. However, what if the Franks had won here? Would this prolong the lifespan of the Crusading kingdoms...

What would have happend if instead of Prussia descivley defeating Austria while Italy took one blow after another, the roles of the two allies were reversed? What consqeunces does this have on both states, and how will this effect German nationalism? Would the war end on the same terms? Could...

What does this mean for the future of the middle/near east? Does Egypt now collapse? (Many emirs were recluctant to fight the Mongols, only fighting after beeing shamed by Sultan Qutuz(Appreantly)) What becomes of Baibars? and how long is it until the Mongols turn on thier Christian allies?

What it says in the title, how can the Milanese ambrosian republic surive attack from its rivals and not be seized like how the Sforza did IOTL?

What if, after the battle Hunyadi doesn't catch plague and die? Could he continue to strengthen Hungarian power? And if he lives longer, does this mean that László doesn't die, or does it mean that Mattias dies with him, due to John's longer reign meaning that he isnt spared from the ambush...

So, I was having a discussion with some freinds about a alt WW1 where the alliances are completley changed. In this scenario, Italian unification has been fragmented by unsucessfull attempts. Futhermore, Hungary through some measure has gained it's indepedance and not only that, retains it's...

I know that I haven't been here too long, but I see alotta love for Venice, and not alot for it's great rival, Genoa! So, I would like to ask, are there any timelines centered on Genoa? And if wanked, what could we expect a greater Genoan empire to look like?
