  1. Russian Jeverland

    Jever is a small town in the north of Germany, near the North Sea. Between the end of the XVIIIth century and 1818 it was twice (bar Napoleonic occupation) in Russian hands, essentially because the Tsarina of Russia at the time of the extinction of local rulers was Catherine the Great, a German...

  2. AHC: The American Civil War 1961-1965

    Said in the title. The POD should actually be in the XIXth century, between 1838 and 1860: OTL's War between the States is avoided, by whatever political means necessary, including, possibly, continued toleration of slavery in the Southern states for some time (or, most simply, good ol' Abe...

  3. Swedish-Prussian dynastic union

    I have this idea of a dynastic union of Prussia and Sweden at the death of Gustav Adolf in battle in 1632. You'd need a sister of his to marry the duke of Brandenburg for it to start. Then the scenario would proceed with the union becoming an even greater power than historically Sweden was, and...

  4. A different historical Viet/Yue nation

    Historically, Vietnam defined itself with struggles of national liberation, since at least (Western) Medieval times (against Chinese and later Mongols and Chinese again) and up to its licking of the French first, and Americans after that. The shape the country's territory assumed has been...

  5. Genghis Khan as founder/prophet of a major religion

    Let's imagine a Muhammad-like Genghis. While remaining in a fully Tengriist environment in general terms, he makes himself the drumbeater of a new religious movement, confusely accepting some tenets from other known faiths/philosophies - revelation, scripture and strict monotheism from Islam...

  6. P&S - a tentative nuke target map for NW Italy

    Awaiting Mario Rossi's (of P&S: Noi Non Ci Saremo fame ;) ) more authoritative opinion upon the matter, in this map 28 nuke devices of various yield (four main yields: about 25 kt, about 600 kt, about 2.5 and about 10 MT) are virtually detonated all over NW Italy - the area here considered is...

  7. Russian Philippines

    Inspired by https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=212187 Russia always craved having warm waters access... but never could completely fulfill this dream. Let's say they content themselves with some colonial shopping, and while still blocked south on loand by Qing...

  8. Weird WWII Redux

    I'll relaunch here, for your reading pleasure and free comment, an old TL I started some 3 years ago and left to wither on the vine, before reworking it more in depth in the last days. There do are, undoubtedly, "gaps" to be filled, but still... POD: in October, 1918 Adolf Hitler gets...

  10. Poor Britain, so far from God, so close to the United States (of Europe)

    The idea is simple: a somewhat satyrical reversale of what we saw in our history. Ending with the supercilious Europeans musing on how America, meaning northern America, cost the international community two world wars, plus the usual squabbles between rednecks, yankees, "negroes", Jews...

  11. Competently led Soviets receive Barbarossa

    As threads upon a presumed will by the Soviets to occupy all of Europe steamrolling over the Western Allies in 1945 continue to pop up here and there, I'd pose another question, which, in its implications, could be related. What if a more competently but less ruthlessly ruled Soviet Russia sat...

  12. The Imperial Rock

    OTL, in AD 326 the Roman emperor Constantine I the Great had his first son Crispus tried and executed because he allegedly had tried to rape her second wife Fausta; then he hideously killed the woman, after his mother Helena had told him that crispus' death had been engineered by Fausta's...

  13. A challendge: The American Civil War, 1961-

    Discuss, assuming say 1850 as POD. (not necessarily North-South, even East-West or strange combinations are welcome) With world scenery, weapons and societal implications. An isolated war watched in awe from a distance? Or like Spain, THE defining conflict of its time? The crumbling of a...

  14. Alternate Entente "Turkish strategy" for WWI

    Let's say that with the monstrous slaughter of Verdun in full swing, the Allies renounce the Somme and the Brusilov offensive, only helping Italy fend off the Austrain Strafexpedition with ome four Franco-British division; they instead decide to gain time by bringing the Ottomans on their knees...

  15. Hilter-Sternberg friendship and WW2

    Hitler-Sternberg friendship and WW2 This is an attempt to recreate the possible outcome of a scenario where Nazi Germany and a Panslavic Fascist Russia - run with the same violence of the Soviet Union but more cleverly in economics - are allied. Say the POD is in the late '10s, when the...

  16. Ottomans rampaging in the Indian Ocean

    Let's see if someone has the guts to fully explore and develop this scenario. Let's say that Selim Yavuz Sultan lives to a ripe old age, continuing all the time to happily put his viziers to death as he used to. Hi son Suleiman (the Magnificent of OTL) is sent to consolidate control over...

  17. Hitler kidnapped by the Italians at Feltre, 1943

    I here invite you, gentlmemen of this noble Board, to muse on this hypothesis: that the treacherous Italians (my fellow countrymen, that is), in order to solve the Gordian knot of their alliance with Nazi Germany as the Allies were already avancing deep into Sicily, decide for a desperate move...

  18. Shingle goes the Tuscan route

    Let's think about a military alternative to the landing at Anzio. By the fist days of October 1943 the Allies dominated Corsica, reconquered by the French colonial and Italian armies and promptly restitued to French administration. What would happen if Shingle happend not at Anzio, but as a...

  19. A TL for a weird, evenly matched WWII

    Inspired by this thread. Any help, idea etc. is welcome. It'll be a slow work, if continued. POD: in October, 1918 Adolf Hitler gets killed in battle on the Western Front by an English sniper while stumbling around, blinded by a gas attack. December 1918 Josef Vissarionovich...

  20. The Interference TL needs your help

    There are, clearly, some really sore points in my TL (look at my signature here below, if you never dared to take a look at it. I or Max Sinister will later publish it in a more compatc and efinitive way in the AltHist Wiki). I am far from omniscient and need advice and ideas on a host of...
