  1. Rhodesia as full Dominion and then Independent

    Let's assume that sometime between 1923-1950 the British colony of Southern Rhodesia is given full dominion status. In 1923, Rhodesia rejected union with South Africa, but gained internal autonomy. It was thus treated like a Dominion in many respects, but Britain controlled its external...

  2. feasibility of any part of Algeria being French

    Can anyone provide details, or better a map, of the different populations of French Algeria in the post-WWII period? I know that approximately 1 million pied-noirs are about 10% of the French Algerian population. That they make up 1/3 of Algiers and a majority of Oran, and that their...

  3. Greek Communists don't boycott in 1946

    Who would have won the March 1946 Greek elections and the late 1946 referendum on the monarchy if the Communists (KKE) did not boycott them? IOTL, the pro-monarchy parties won both. If the Communists had contended the elections, would that changed? Or would some coalition government had...

  4. More Airlift at Arnhem

    If the Allies did not have a shortage of transport aircraft for Operation: Market-Garden, how would that have impacted the battle? In other words, there is enough lift for the British 1st Airborne and Sosabowski's Polish Brigade to be dropped in one day. Everything else reminds the same - the...

  5. McClellan's generals

    If George B. McClellan was elected US President in 1864 for any reason, who would have been the generals he favored for command? Any generals he particularly disliked that would be dismissed, or buddies he would have promoted? If the military situation is important, we can use more or less...

  6. Stilwell in Europe

    General Joe Stilwell went to China in WWII, but originally he was scheduled as a Corps Commander to lead Operation Torch. What would have happened to Stilwell if he went to the European theatre instead? I assume Stilwell would have commanded the US II Corps instead of Llyod Fredendall in...

  7. No Czech Coup

    In 1948 the Red Army was not occupying Czechoslovakia. It retained a democratic government with Edvard Benes as President. The Czech Communists were the largest party in parliament, but ruled in coalition with other parties under a Communist PM (Klement Gottwald) under the results of the 1946...

  8. Defeat at Gettysburg - 1864 elections

    What if there was a serious Union defeat instead of victory at Gettysburg. Let's assume that Union victories in the Western theatre still happen. I don't believe Lee could destroy the Army of the Potomac outright or force Lincoln to make peace, but how would it impact the 1864 Presidential...

  9. Somerville surprises the Japanese April 1942

    In early April 1942 British Admiral Somerville, commander of the British Eastern Fleet, attempted to intercept the Japanese carrier strike force as they raided the Indian Ocean. British intelligence had told him where the Japanese would be going, but after waiting a few days, he decided the...

  10. pontoon bridges on time at Fredericksburg

    On November 17, 1862 advance elements of the Army of Potomac arrive at Fredericksburg. Detailed planning earlier by commanding Union General Burnside had insured that the pontoon bridges necessary to cross the Rappahannock River were present. Maj. Gen Edwin "Bull" Sumner leads his troops into...
