  1. More successful Defence of Arras

    In May 1940, during the Battle of France, an initially successful British counter attack was famously repulsed after Rommel ordering his 88mm and 105mm guns be used in a direct fire mode to knock out the British Matildas, which were too heavily armoured for the conventional German anti-tank...

  2. WI: Clinton Assassinated by Al-Queda

    I've just seen a story that Al-Queda nearly managed to assassinate Bill Clinton in 1996 in the Philippines. What would they consequences have been if they succeeded?

  3. A British started WWI

    I was looking up something slightly different on wikipedia, and found the following: So, what if the Germans make such a deal with the Ottomans and push their luck sometime in the late 1900s. What does a world look like where the British response triggers the alt-Great War. My opinion is...

  4. British Victory in the 1st Anglo-Afghan War

    A cursory inspection suggests that the British humiliation in the retreat from Kabul could have been avoided if there was a different commander. If this happens, can the British hold on, or is it just delaying the inevitable? If they can hold on, can Afganistan eventually be assimilated into...

  5. For Want of a ... Competent Air Ministry

    Reviewing the history of British aviation in World War II is, in many ways, an example of the triumph of crisis management compensating for rather poor pre-war planning. Now, a large part of this is due to a lack of money, but even more is due to a lack of imagination and motivation on the part...

  6. Short World War I - Entente Victory - Consequences

    Inspired by the thread about Belgium not being attacked in WW I. It's quite plausible that you could get a World War I that really is over by Christmas (nearly), with an Entente victory. If the Germans don't get the nitrates in Antwerp, and, say Tannenberg goes the other way, then six months...

  7. The Sun Never Sets - A Brighter Dawn

    A Brighter Dawn This is a revision of my earlier “Kicking an Open Door” TL, looking at how to create a plausible Brit-wank, extending British hegemony in the 19th century from first amongst the Great Powers to a true Superpower. PoD 1802: I'm choosing to avert the Yellow Fever epidemic...

  8. Earlier European Integration

    I've seen a couple of threads about some form of European co-operation happening earlier. The problem is, I can't see this being very likely given France's position at the end of WW II, which means an earlier PoD. The France Fights on project gives lots of useful inspiration for this, although...

  9. Northumbria Predominant

    Northumbria Predominant On consideration, I don't think the Northumbrians can defeat the Mercians and Welsh at the same time. Perhaps the best POD is that Edwin and Cadwallon don't fall out as young men/children. They somehow become friends, and Edwin marries one of Cadwallon/Cadfed's...

  10. An European What-If

    What if the British agree to go to Massena in 1951, in the inital negotatons which lead to the EU, and sign the Treaty of Paris in 1952, forming a larger and much more powerful European Coal and Steel Community.

  11. Kicking an open door, a more dominant Britain TL

    Inspired by some of the more pro-American TLs which come our way, as well as the recent flush of similar pro-British ones in the post-1900 forum, I present this half (quarter? eighth?) finished TL. adapted from a seed I put on the map thread: Same PoD as Decades of Darkness. The Embargo Acts...
