    Has anyone attempted to combine Muturzikin's maps into a single world map?

    I know that different parts are at a higher resolution than other parts but you could make a start from finding the highest resolution region, making a blank map as if the entire world was at that resolution, then adding the zoomed out regions just at the wrong scale. I don't mind mismatched...

    Alexander II, Alexander III and Alexander of Battenberg and more killed in 1880 explosion?

    The Bulgarian Tsar is not late, or the clock mechanism is delayed longer. The explosion goes off when the full royal assortment is in the dining room, killing almost all of the people there...

    A South American World War 1 Craze

    Note: The Netherlands allowed German troops through their country which led to the UK declaring war on them. Germany defeated Russia a decade earlier and only Italy and Sweden are their allies in Europe. Ottoman's are neutral because they are annexing Persia while the UK is busy. Venezuela is a...

    What do Ottomans do in Persia, Arabia and Egypt if the UK is defeated/wounded by USA?

    From the period 1890 to 1940 imagine that the UK gets in a large scale conflict with the USA, or for some other reason has less power projection and expenditure to concern itself with the borders of the Ottomans Do the Ottomans take advantage of this? Do they take Persia, if so what parts...

    Challenge: Austria-Hungary and Germany on opposing sides in WW1

    Not every great power needs to be involved, for example Russia could be neutral but not France too. Should be balanced enough that they would actually go to war instead of deescalating. What sides would other countries be on? Example: France, Austria, Russia, Belgium?, Luxembourg? vs Germany...

    Could Germany invade Norway/Denmark in (an alt) WW1?

    https://history.army.mil/books/70-7_02.htm Here are the reasons Germany invaded Norway in WW2, could these be replicated in the 1910s? More important than the motive, is it even possible with the equipment and technology of the time? Would it require having Sweden join the Central Powers?

    Largest possible Austria-Hungary/United States of Greater Austria/whatever the name is

    PODs are allowed up to 1880, but should remain reasonable similar to OTL until 1900 (hence why this forum) Previous thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/largest-possible-austria-hungary.282607/...

    1904 - Germany Betrays Russia

    After writing this Wilhelm has one of the few moments of clarity in his life. It so happens as he pauses in thought after writing it that he speaks with Der Goltz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colmar_Freiherr_von_der_Goltz) in their discussion they point out the following truths: 1) If Japan...

    Challenge: Ottoman Held Crimea by 1925

    Just the peninsula is required, not the whole Taurida governorate. If there's a timeline that has this please share that with me. http://www.demoscope.ru/weekly/ssp/rus_lan_97.php?reg=71 Here are stats in the 1897 census, population on peninsula is around 550k, about 150k tartars...

    How can an Entente victory be achieved with a neutral USA in WW1?

    If the domestic politics of the USA in the 1910s make it clear that they're unlikely to go to war, and therefore not going to support the Entente beyond normal expectations, how can the Entente win the Great War? I know that the financial support has been discussed ad nauseum, so whatever your...

    What are the major impacts of a short delay to WW1?

    Let's say the inciting incident for WW1 is delayed just a smidgen. What are the biggest things (new weaponry, new ships, new doctrine, new economy, new alliances?) that will change the war if it happens: 1 day later 1 week later 1 month later 3 months later 6 months later By this time...

    How would the USA partition Canada?

    Assuming a conflict arose at some point in the first half of the 20th century, likely from the USA facing off against the British, and for whatever reason Canada was unable to successfully proclaim neutrality (either because of American mistrust, some false-flag operation like the USS Maine, or...

    Why do most maps have diagonal (only) neighbours in their borders, coast lines, rivers, etc? What are the rules for placing/colouring pixels in genera

    It seems to me pretty unlikely that most borders regularly pass exactly on the near infinitesimal point represented at the corner of two pixels. That implies then that the rule for determining the colour of a pixel is not: in this square is there any border? So what is the rule? If it...

    AHC: Austria-Hungary allied against Germany

    With a POD after 1900 have Austria-Hungary be on the opposite side from Germany in a world war, both WW1 or WW2 (after a Central Powers victory or white peace presumably) are acceptable. Why does Austria-Hungary go to war: defensive (Germany declares on them?), opportunistic (Germany is...

    Partition of China (or Scramble for China) - Impacts on *Great War?

    Assume that there is a partition of China as a result of an alt-Boxer War (and an isolationist USA who does not restrain the great powers). The result is something similar to this: Except Germany gains the yellow river watershed. to Russia: north of the Great Wall to Germany: Yellow River...

    In what circumstances would France ever accept a negotiated peace in WW1?

    Assuming that the Western front remains a stalemate when, if ever, would France be willing to come to the table? Would it take revolution? A plebiscite in Alsace? Could France ever be compensated elsewhere, say partition of Belgium or colonial substitutes? [For the purposes of this imagine a...

    If the USA is neutral which nations join the Central Powers last minute ala Thailand, Greece, Romania, China, Brazil?

    Suppose the war is similar to OTL except Wilson died and no USW, after the Russians make peace what nations see the writing on the wall and join in the war? Netherlands (seeking Flankers?) Spain? Iran/Persia? Afghanistan? Would the other powers mentioned Thailand/Siam, China, and Brazil still...

    French and British partition of Siam

    Important events are between 1895 and 1905 Suppose that the Germans gain the Philippines, or Chinese/Japanese influence increases in Siam. The British in particular are worried about other powers claiming the territory while the French simply want to annex it all including the Menan basin...

    AHC: The Pacific before the Great War

    With a POD after the Treaty of Kanagawa (1854) how can these maps of the pacific be accurate prior to the Great War? Note Australia/New Zealand can be colonies/dominions or independent, either works. At minimum the territories within the borders are protectorates, can be just as independent as...
