  1. USA doesn't join WW1 but Germany still loses?

    So basically as OTL then, but maybe a bit longer and with no League of Nations.

  2. Would an isolationist minded Canada have declared war on Germany in 1939?

    Canada was still officially a part of the Empire up to 1931, and was still a very pro-British dominion at the time. They still had the Union Jack on their flag then too.

  3. Could Germany in WWI have possibly won with the Schlieffen Plan?

    The Germans didn't actually attack with the Schlieffen plan, they attacked with Moltke's amended version which had a weaker right hook.

  4. What if Home Rule resulted in civil war in 1914?

    How does this affect the war on the western front? No BEF means no British involvement at the Marne, and the French are 6 divisions lighter than OTL. Does this mean the Le Miracle de la Marne doesn't happen?

  5. Dystopian British Empire

    Humans in the past in not-being-very-nice-to-other-humans shocker. In the long list of empires that have risen and fallen through the ages, the British Empire is by no means at the top of the pile for being most evil, yet are normally demonised as such by those seeking to impose today's...

  6. Why didn't the Russians conquer Scandinavia after winning the Great Northern War?

    Quite likely because Russia taking over all of Scandinavia was probably one of few things that would have seen Britain and France united in common cause during the 18th century. Plus it would have been hard to take for the Russians, and likely impossible to hold.

  7. British Hanover at the Beginning of WW1

    Indeed, and it should also be remembered that Parliament ultimately decides de facto who inherits the British Crown, and it's hard to imagine them allowing the King of a more populous (domestically) Germany becoming King of Britain. Anyway, as many above have stated, ITTL Prussia cannot take...

  8. deleted

    People seem to be confusing supply with demand here. London didn't turn into the large crowded city it is today because thousands of people showed up cap in hand looking for homes and jobs, they turned up because the demand was there. If you restrict supply from overseas and the demand still...

  9. Worst possible end of Weimar Germany?

    See OTL...

  10. China and Russia go to war in 1969. How does the US respond?

    Take bets.

  11. A larger Canada's relationship with the US (1860 Onwards)

    You need an earlier POD for Canada to be suitably larger to the point where it would change Canada's relationship with the US overall. Most likely a different War of 1812 where the British do better post Napoleon's fall, perhaps grabbing more of New England or Michigan.

  12. How Long Could a Successful Third Reich Realistically Survive

    Once they stop plundering their economy is going to drop like a stone, and Hitler's mythical power is going to undone. Cue his Generals attempting to remove him from power, and perhaps a Nazi civil war. If this happens then several countries are going to "declare independance" and US/UK are...

  13. AHC: Get a Female Dictator into Power

    Aung San Suu Kyi

  14. Best wwii United Kingdom strategy considering economic and financial war aftermath

    Look, I don't disagree with the thrust of what you've written, but the fact is, Hitler's "grand plan" was to invade Poland, and then keep going east all the way to the Urals. He expected Britain and France to let him get on with it, because he figured that the west would see him as the lesser...

  15. Best wwii United Kingdom strategy considering economic and financial war aftermath

    No, that's not the case. Hitler didn't want a war with the western democracies at all - he wanted a war with the USSR. He recognized that he'd eventually have to beat the western democracies, but he wanted to do that once he'd defeated the USSR, and he also expected that once France was beaten...

  16. Best wwii United Kingdom strategy considering economic and financial war aftermath

    The best strategy with the benefit of hindsight would have been to do nothing and wait for Germany to attack the USSR, and then back the French to invade from the west whilst enforcing a naval blockade. Other than that, if it's non-moral solutions, then Britain sides with Nazi Germany against...

  17. With these additional capacities, can Germany invade Britain successfully in 1940?

    If you're coming up future techs that the Germans might have thought of and developed before 1940, then the one to come up with is proper Landing Craft Assault ship. Hitler had envisioned a war with the western democracies, but had assumed that if he defeated France, then Britain would be...

  18. WI: Successful Kapp Putsch crushed by France

    Yes, but all that highlights is why Germany wasn't broken up, but not why it couldn't. For all the rights and wrongs of Versaille, not enough thought was given to stopping a future revanchist war waged by Germany, save artificially keeping it's armed forces small. This was never going to be a...

  19. WI: Successful Kapp Putsch crushed by France

    I've often wondered why the allies didn't break Germany up completely at Versailles. It wasn't like other empires weren't being broken up, was it? The Ottoman Empire - gone. Austo-Hungarian Empire - gone. Russian Empire - goneish. "Germany" had only been an empire for less than 50 years. For...

  20. WI: France Won The Seven Years War?

    How is France defeating Britain in this war? France doing better in Europe is plausible, but doing better in north America and India is less so - it'd need the British to be negligent to the point of ASB.
