  1. How easily could the Pacific War have flopped for Japan? And to what results?

    It's a generally accepted fact that, as strategically doomed as it was once it launched its Pacific Offensive, Japan had a string of remarkable victories that enabled it to last as long as it did. While a lot of people have asked about 'what if they had done better', I'd like to ask the...

  2. DBWI: Should the People's Republic of China get it's port?

    Your thoughts on the international issue of the year: should the world's largest and most populated landlocked state finally get it's own port on the Pacific?

  3. DBWI: Alright, ten million chinese ladies are coming over... what next?

    Edit: Been to long, forgot the newer DBWI/ no RP rules. Ignore.

  4. DB: Reverse the cyberpunk genre

    Time to reverse everyone's favorite genre (and the prototypical American fantasy): cyberpunk. Big Business is Bad, Technology is Terrible, and that sort of thing. But how to do it? Ideas?

  5. DB: Oh shit oh shit oh shit, the Benedict Memorial's been bombed!

    During the President's speech on the economy, just now on live television! Damn it, I have a friend who went to the capital for the speech! Please pick up man, please pick up...

  6. DB: December 7th, 1941: Columbian Canal attacked!

    And right after Pearl Harbor! Now even more of the Americas are going to be involved in a Eurasian War! There aren't enough :mad::mad::mad: to express how I feel now.

  7. What was the 30 Year's War, anyway?

    Never learned about it in school, and can't say I even knew when or where it was. T'was surprised when I heard that it took place in Germany, rather than more in Western Europe. So, Who What When Where and Why?

  8. DBWI: Will this election finally be the Year of Australia?

    It occurs to me that, looking as the election does right now, it will be a miracle/catastrophe for the Republicans to win this one. And oddly, the country least happy with the change is our very own neighbor, Canada. I mean, think of it from their view. Canada, oh liberal Canada, is going to be...

  9. DB: Challenge: Get the US involved with the West.

    Crack Fortress Yank. End United isolationism. Fight the policy of no-interest in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Whatever you call it, do it. Any POD after the turn of the century is valid, even as far forward as the USSR. Bonus points if economic integration with Europe in anyway comes...

  10. DBWI: Alternative Cold War: How long could the Soviets have stood up?

    A serious question as to the whole cliche as of "what if the Cold War was between the US and Britain and the Soviet Union, rather than US and Britain and Germany?" But something I rarely see is any sort of attempt to accurately guess as to how long a victorious Soviet Union could stand. The...

  11. DBWI: Really, has anyone been impressed by the Beijing Olympics?

    Because I surely haven't, nor has anyone I've talked to. Even the media is largely unanimous. Forcing the opening actors to wear diapers and denying them the restroom? Changing out the lead singer because she wasn't cute enough, and putting a lip-syncher in her place? The arbitrary rules for all...

  12. DBWI: Never fight a landwar in Africa: An essay I need help on

    Yeah, I know asking for help on homework isn't encouraged here, but hear me out first. My international political science teacher is making a deal with me: if I can write a good enough essay on a subject of my choice from the Cold War, I can take the zoom-path and finish the class a few weeks...

  13. [DBWI] Crack WI: Make a UMC analogue... if Europe colonized the Middle Continents!!!

    Throw realism to the wind! Ignore those pesky details and facts and diseases! Play down the natural advantages of Asia! Explore your Euro-wank! But most importantly, create an analogue to the Union of the Middle Continent if those pesky pale-skins had vassalized all of it, as opposed to Asia...

  14. [DBWI] No Lincoln Compromise: What next?

    A musing after reading an article from my hometown in Alabama. It was reflecting on the recently discovered 'Lincoln Journals' as they've been called, and cover the years of the Secession Crisis in the 1860's time. I've read the journal and some other literature of the time, and it's kind of...

  15. How much shorter could the war in the Pacific have been?

    And as a follow-up, how would it have changed post-war Asia? It occurs to me that time and manor could have made a big difference in the post-war world. Even a year earlier, and the Soviets would have been unlikely to have rush together it's end-war land grab rush. Britain holding out at...

  16. DBWI: The Republican Revolution don't reach the isles: what next?

    An oldie, I know. But still, take some handwavium butterfly effect and assume that the Republican Revolution doesn't spread to the Home Islands during the events of the 1770's. Maybe some book is published or is not published, public opinion, something. The British Republic isn't formed, King...

  17. DBWI: AH Challenge: Prevent Anglo Reunification

    Possible? ASB? Too ugly a thought to contemplate?

  18. DBWI: Lewinsky-gate doesn't lead to the Imperial Civil War

    ("American Revolutionary War" for those on the small side of the Atlantic.) George "Bill" Clinton, just couldn't keep it in his pants. :rolleyes: I think it's a valid what-if, even if there's still some hard feelings from members on both sides of the Atlantic. What if, whether never being...

  19. DBWI: War Plan Puce not implemented by the US in 1938

    Despite the massive popular support, apparently there was a good deal of contention among American military leaders in the lead up to FDR's decision, including the retiring of a few semi-prominent generals in protest. So... what if not?

  20. American citizens invade Canada (Absolutely not a parody thread)

    Back in 1995, Michael Moore released a alternate history movie called Canadian Bacon, in which Americans invade Canada during a period of heightened tensions. The movie was authentic, and went on to success in the post office. It must be true, because I saw it on tv. So what if, in the 1990s...
