  1. Rwandan Genocide Continues

    What would have happened if the Rwandan Patriotic Front had failed to liberate Rwanda from the genocidal Hutu government in 1994?

  4. Reich Ministry commissions surface to air missiles in 1941

    In 1941, the Reich Ministry of Air was shown the design for the Schmetterling surface to air missile. It rejected it, but recommissioned in 1943 as the Germany was subjected to heavy bombing. By 1945, they had a working prototype ready for mass-production. It was radio-controlled and had a...

  5. Germany increases synthetic oil production instead of Case Blue

    Apparently Germany got 92 percent of its aviation fuel and over half its petroleum from synthetic oil production from coal. Since Germany had vast coal reserves what was to stop it ramping up its synthetic oil production in preference to the perilous Case Blue operation? It could have gone for...

  6. Hitler declares an end to European colonial empires

    What if Hitler in 1940, in order to strengthen isolationist sentiment in the USA where he knew anti-colonial feeling was strong. and in order to undermine the British war effort, decided to announce an end to European empires. He dismantles the French Empire in 1940, giving independence to...

  7. E Boats for Sealion

    What if Germany had implemented a policy of mass producing E boats to dominate the Channel? They were apparently very hard to intercept and sink because f their speed, and proved quite effective against Allied shipping. They could follow a policy of asymmetric development in military terms...

  9. Brazil attacks Argentina in World War 2

    I was reading the Wikipedia article on Argentina during World War 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_during_World_War_II The article contains this quote : "At this point, the United States was considering supporting Brazil in an attack against Argentina, rather than attacking Argentina...

  10. Britain votes to leave the EC in 1975.

    What would have happened if Britain had voted to leave the Common Market, as the EU was then known, in the 1975 referendum? The question posed was "Do you think that the United Kingdom should stay in the European Community (the Common Market)?" with either a yes or no answer. Would this have...

  11. Why are Sealion posts so popular on this site?

    People always say they are sick of Sealion threads, but I dont believe them because the last Sealion thread had 50 pages of posts. So why are Sealion threads so popular?

  13. Zhukov in command during the winter war.

    How would the Soviet invasion of Finland have fared in November 1939 if Zhukov had been placed in overall command at the outset, given that he was arguably the greatest Soviet general of the age? Would the Soviet invasion have been much better planned and organised? Would it have avoided the...

  14. Japanese Soldiers on the Western Front in 1914.

    In 1914, Japan was allied with Britain. They seized some German colonies, but otherwise their participation was minimal. The British asked them to send troops to France, which they naturally declined. What would have been the result if the Japanese had sent an expeditionary force to the Western...

  15. Which assassination attempt on Hitler, if successful, would have changed the course of history most.

    I am thinking here of 3 assassination attempts on Hitler. 1) November 1939. Hitler was giving a speech in Munich to celebrate the Munich Putsch of 1923, and left shortly before a bomb exploded. 2) March 1943. A bomb on a place carrying Hitler from a meeting in Russia failed to explode. 3) The...

  16. Mussolini stays neutral but still invades Greece.

    Lets assume Mussolini chooses to remain neutral in June 1940. However, he still decides to invade Greece. Assuming the British do not intervene, how far would this improve Mussolini's prospects? He would be able to use his powerful navy to bombard Athens, and also to support amphibious landings...

  18. Kray Twins in Nazi occupied Britain

    If the Kray twins had grown up in a Nazi occupied Britain, what form would their criminal empire have taken?

  19. More reliable German torpedoes.

    I'm currently reading a book on the U boats by David Mason. For at least the first year of the war, it seems that German torpedoes were very unreliable, particularly magnetic ones. If they had been more reliable, the Germans would have sunk at least the Hood, the Nelson, the Rodney and the...

  20. More passive Allied strategy waiting for the bomb

    The atomic bomb would have won the war for the Allies however bad the strategic situation was otherwise. If Germany had conquered the Soviet Union to the Ural mountains and driven the British out of the whole Middle East, they would still have been brought to surrender by the bomb. The same...
