  1. Hitler declares he will not bomb English cities.

    This occurred to me last night as I was preparing for bed. Assume that Hitler - who actually seems to have greatly admired the British - makes a declaration shortly after the Battle of Britain starts. Namely, the Luftwaffe will not deliberately target British cities as long as the RAF does not...

  2. Explosion in New York Harbor in 1943

    Yesterday I discovered a video on The History Guy's channel on an incident that happened in New York Harbor on April 24, 1943. The S.S. Elestro was docked in the Jersey shore area or near it. The ship was being loaded with armaments for the European theater. Several tons of explosives were...

  3. Soviets Invade Iran in 1980

    This scenario is partly based on the thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-soviet-embassy-in-iran-stormed-1979.534117/ But mostly, it borrows from a book from the early 80's Nuclear War: What's in It for You? The scenario, which occurs at the opening of the book presents...

  6. Voices of Doomsday Through the Ages

    Many of those on this board have read the TL/Story I did based on the classic by Amerigo Vespucci, The Cuban Missile War, namely Voices of Doomsday. In the story at entry #171 I believe I mentioned a PSA that was recorded by Arthur Godfrey back in the 50's to be played on CONELRAD in the event...

  7. Stalemate in the Pacific: How Does this Play Out?

    In an earlier timeline I wrote entitled "Year of the Jinx" I hypothesized what might happen if the Japanese essentially rolled all sixes in their Pacific Campaign for the first two years. And to tell the truth I am really dissatisfied with that story and hope to revisit it someday. But it has...

  8. A World War II Without Hitler?

    I would like to pose the following for discussion. Much has been said about how World War II might have been avoided if Adolf Hitler and the Nazis had not come to power. Let us assume the following therefore. POD#1 - Adolf Hitler dies during World War I, one of the many nameless dead of that...

  9. Doenitz Gets His Way

    Last night I watched a documentary on the Battle of the Atlantic. At the time the battle began Germany had approximately 100 U-Boats ready for action. (please correct me if this number is wrong) Churchill was more concerned according to some sources with the U-Boat threat then he was with the...

  10. WI: Russia 2nd Pacific Squadron - No Voyage of the Damned?

    Anyone who has studied the naval Battle of Tsushima even in a passing way knows this was an unmitigated disaster for the Russian fleet. The 2nd Pacific Squadron seemed literally doomed from the moment they pulled out of the port at St. Petersburg...

  12. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    According to the article at this link: https://discover.hubpages.com/education/Nazi-and-Japanese-nuclear-weapons Nazi Germany was very close to both developing an atomic bomb and having a means to deliver said bomb (The Amerika Bomber). The article states: The intended target of the final...

  13. Redo of "Year of the Jinx"

    I was sorely disappointed with the quality of my thread - "Year of the Jinx" and feel I should have done more research on it. I would like to do a redo of that particular thread in the future. Year of the Jinx - An AH story/timeline by Geon | alternatehistory.com For this purpose let me ask...

  14. Behold a Red Horse (a sequel to "Let Them Pass")
    Threadmarks: Title Page, Introduction

    Behold, A Red Horse 3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red.

  16. Albert Capitulates (World War I)

    After watching the old documentary film The Guns of August, a thought occurred to me. In August, 1914, King Albert of Belgium made the decision when it became clear war was inevitable to fight even though his army was vastly outnumbered and ill-equipped. Albert had some weeks prior been...

    A Timeline/Story by Geon Chapter 1: At the Tower Door September 15, 1483, London Ravens circled the Tower crying into the starry night. Things were quiet, “as quiet as a tomb, some would make it,” thought one of the cloaked men who now approached the tower. There were six of them. All...

  19. Battle of Gulf of Sidra

    I would like to pose a hypothetical battle scenario based on a game of HOI2 I am currently playing. In the scenario, World War II is raging in Europe. The Sino-Japanese war is going poorly for Japan and they are barely holding their early gains in northern China as of 1942. As a result the...
