  1. Axis-Soviet Invasion of Turkey, 1941

    Suppose Hitler decides to postpone Barbarossa for all the blatantly obvious reasons he should have in OTL, in favor of continued cooperation with the USSR (for now...). Under what circumstances would Turkey have been given the Poland treatment by Stalin and Hitler? Would Stalin have gone for...

  2. Homefront the Revolution is a new alternate history universe

    If you replace "North Korea" with China, it makes a bit more sense. A bit. If they were going for Alternate History with an invasion of the U.S, they should have just used the Soviets.

  3. Modern Day Confederate States of America

    In the universe postulated by the OP in this thread that you apparently haven't read. Ideology is simply what those in charge sell to the masses to justify the death of their children. At the risk of getting political, American soldiers today are told they fight for freedom and democracy; do...

  4. Modern Day Confederate States of America

    Again, ignoring the OP, wherein the states peacefully secede. But even then, the minority of soldiers who owned slaves, weren't doing so for ideological reasons. The value of slavery was in the slaves themselves; once the technologies and practices of the 2nd Industrial Revolution become...

  5. Modern Day Confederate States of America

    Does no one on this board realize that just because something is written into a Constitution, does not mean it can't be changed? The U.S Constitution, which we all know the Confederate one is heavily based on, has been amended 17 times since it was adopted. As a matter of fact, amending the...

  6. Modern Day Confederate States of America

    It would probably be closest to Argentina or Brazil in terms of economic power, stability, and influence. A whole host of issues would have made slavery impractical and essentially dead before the end of the 19th century. The ensuing state of race (and class, often ignored here) relations...

  7. Maryland Annexes Virginia

    It must be remembered that Maryland was a border state' it was neutral and in many areas sympathetic to the south. They were a slave state, after all. I don't believe this move would create too much more animosity, although to placate tensions I wouldn't recommend using the name "Maryland." I...

  8. Map Thread XIII

    But that was essentially the purpose of the Confederacy-expanding state sovereignty while banding together for protection. In what way would Florida be better off independent? And how do you mean its economy resembles Caribbean states? Agricultural? That's the same as OTL. Texas has numerous...

  9. Map Thread XIII

    I don't see why South Carolina would change its name, or how Florida could be viable as an independent country given the POD. I don't see how a racist rebellion can overthrow a country when the rebels themselves only constitute 1/3 of the population (assuming they had 100% support amongst...

  10. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    Does anyone have maps like this but for World War 2, showing the desires of the main powers? Or a map of the proposed Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact as opposed to what actually happened?

  11. Reddit and Alternate History

    They seem very amateurish and generally inactive.

  12. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    Come on now, there were plenty of non-Prussian officers in OTL. Considering he was a personal aide for higher-ranking officers, surely he would've gotten somewhere in life. And a 42 year old is certainly not going to be hoofing it with other grunts in the African jungle. That really just kills...

  13. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    I find the idea of a 42 year old Corporal far more unrealistic than Hitler falling in love with an African. He would at the very least be an NCO, and would more have likely been made an officer by now.

  14. Map Thread XIII

    Random Second American Civil War Map I made, feel free to come up with whatever background you want. Blue is Federal territory, Red is Rebels, a loose alliance of Constitutional Restorationists, Seperatists, and assorted warlords, religious extremists, and racial supremacists, this latter trio...

  15. (Draka) Three way cold war

    It's a nice looking map. I think the Draka will lose. Europe will have the technological advantage and will probably be dominant in the space race with the other two powers scrambling to catch up. I wouldn't be surprised if they have landed on the moon already, or even have a permanent base...

  16. Soviets Betray Nazis First?

    How is taking Germany tied to Japan...? Sure, they're technically allies, but the actual aid they gave to each other was minuscule. Trying to take them both on at the same time is an implausible plan to sell to the public, especially once Britain has made peace. There wouldn't be any more U-boat...

  17. Post Axis Spain

    It's possible, but it really depends on if this is in America and Britain's interest. Spain wasn't a real threat as is, so there's not much point in breaking it up. A decentralized government is quite likely though, and I think that's what they would go for to placate the minorities.

  18. Post Axis Spain

    Well that depends on how Spain is defeated? Are they invaded per se, or are they just bombarded and blockaded from air and sea until they surrender? In general, I can see there remaining a major fascist resistance, and politics will likely be extremely divided between right and left, with an...

  19. Soviets Betray Nazis First?

    The U.S was more anti-Japanese than anti-fascist; and anti-Communism was certainly more prominent than anti-fascism. Remember the atrocities committed by the Soviets were well-known by this time, much more so than Germany's. And if Germany has made peace with Britain, then the Soviets will be...

  20. WI: George Lucas Dies While Making Episode I

    What are you on about? I wasn't being particularly serious, and I don't understand why you're equivalencing dislike of Lucas=anti-semitism, when he's proven himself to be a mediocre director at best. I'm also not a rabid SW fanboy, never read the EU, and I don't see SW fans as being anything...
