  1. What happens in a world without Nazism but with Fascism?

    POD-In 1917 Corporal Adolf Hitler takes a wrong turn in the German trenches whilst delivering a message from the German HQ and gets shot and killed by a sniper from the trenches opposite, and ends up as just another forgotten name on a German war grave. Without him, Anton Drexler still forms the...

  2. Alternate books

    I looked first for an alternate books thread and could not find any except one from 2020, which is far too old to gravedig, so I started my own. Das Kapital-A fiction book about Berlin, with characters that start at the time of Arminius and go on all the way to the fall of the Berlin Wall. My...

  3. WI Lincoln had tried to defuse the slavery issue?

    What if Lincoln tried to work with the South in 1860 and said-slavery will be banned, but not until 1900? Would there be an American Civil War in 1900?

  4. What if the Luftwaffe dropped forged money on the UK and France just before WW2?

    June 1939 What if the Luftwaffe were ordered to fly out at night (no need to worry about the blackout as it would not have happened yet) and drop on London, Paris, and other areas of the UK and France-not conventional bombs or WMDs but-huge amounts-in the millions-and a million pounds was much...

  5. WI there was a real life Night's Watch?

    Could an ancient or mediaeval state make it so that instead of for example, blinding poachers and cutting the hands off thieves , they could be sent to the equivalent of the Game of Thrones Night's Watch? And if so, what would this Night's Watch be used for?

  6. What if Stalin's wife had shot him dead?

    And then killed herself, instead of just killing herself? Who would have taken over as the next General Secutary of the Communist Party?

  7. What would have happened if Trotsky had taken over the USSR?

    Would we have got a WW2 against the Soviet Union in the 1940s? Would the Soviet Union be better or worse then it was under Stalin?

  8. What if, three months before WW2 starts...

    Mussolini sends a large part of the Italian Navy through the Straights of Gibraltar on a "naval visit" to Germany, and then in effect lends the ships to Germany when the war starts? Obviously the Sealion plan would almost certainly still be unworkable, (only a navy the size of the US Navy would...

  9. What would have happened if the UK and France had given Hitler the OK to expand East?

    In the hope he would either lose to the USSR (in which case the West could invade Germany when the Soviets reach the Elbe river) or both dictators would in effect tire each other out and stop either one invading the West. Would that have been a wise policy?

  10. After 1660, could any British king have done what Emperor Go-Daigo did?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Go-Daigo was the last Japanese Emperor to have any hard power and the only one to briefly grab power back from the Shogunate. Could any British monarch from 1660 onwards have done the same thing and at least briefly grabbed power back from the UK Parliament?

  11. What if Nazi Germany still existed but...

    not spanning the globe or indeed Europe but confined to it's 1936 or at most 1938 borders. It's a PITA-too hard to attack, but not that much of a real threat to it's neighbours. Without Communism, it's economically better off then North Korea-but not by that much and has few or no international...

  12. What if Michael Collins had been recognized after the Easter Rising?

    And executed along with Plunket and the others who were shot for it? Without Collins, how would the Irish War of Independence go?

  13. WI the Germans in WW2 used the V1 weapons against the D-Day landing sites/fleet?

    Would that have managed to stop the Allied landing in France in 1944? Whilst the V1s were not very accurate, the Allied Fleet was a huge target.

  14. What if Muhammad was born at the same time as Jesus?

    Assuming he still founded Islam, how far could Islam get with the Roman and Parthian Empires in effect bottling it up within Arabia?

  15. What could the pre Charles the First monarchs have done to keep their power in England?

    -Taking hostages like the Tokagawa Shoguns did, to prevent Parliament acting against them? -Setting up their own "Royalist Party" in Parliament, so they had power when their party was in power and didn't when it was not? -Winning over Parliament like Elizabeth the First did? She made them feel...

  16. What if the British Empire was ruled more like America indirectly rules many countries now?

    Instead of direct rule by British governors and viceroys, have puppet governments who do what they are told in important matters and allow British bases in their countries. Interfere directly as little as possible, and allow a non-British elite, unpopular enough to need the British to back them...

  17. What happens if the Western countries give Germany a free hand in the East as long as it doesn't expand militarily in any other direction?

    Basically, the UK and France give Germany the OK to go East as long as they only go East. No attacking the colonies in Africa, the Nordic nations, or the Western countries, but as long as only Poland and the USSR are targeted the Western powers won't interfere. (Privately, should Germany be...

  18. Some WW1/WW2 What ifs

    All in the same thread to avoid spamming the board and angering the Admin/Mods. 1-What if in 1914 the UK acts to France in WW1 the way the USA acted to the UK in WW2? Whilst staying neutral for the first part of WW1, we give France what they need to fight off the Germans, but make them pay for...

  19. What if the South had sent terrorists into the North before the American Civil War started?

    What if 5 to 10 years before the American Civil War, some slave owners and other wealthy Southerners see the way things are going, and decide to set up a secret terrorist organization of about a thousand men or so? To maintain secrecy and ensure if one man is caught or willingly turns against...

  20. What if the UK was to act in World War One like the USA did in World War Two?

    So the UK supports France without formally declaring war, gives them what they need to avoid being fully occupied by Germany, but make the French pay in hard currency for everything they buy. And then it gets involved in the war in 1917 or 1918. Whilst the UK still loses perhaps up to 100,000...
