  1. Schwarz-Rot-Gold! - A Weimar Germany TL

    Actually, the Nazis did seem to still be playing around in the early 1930s with potentially coming to power through "revolutionary" tactics. The Nazi Werner Best wrote the Boxheim Documents in 1931 that were a blueprint for a Nazi coup in Hesse (against a hypothetical Communist government)...

  2. Schwarz-Rot-Gold! - A Weimar Germany TL

    Uh oh... This could be very bad. I wonder what Poland's reaction to this is going to be.

  3. AHC: Make Russian an accepted part of the west.

    Well, Adolf Hitler (who was of course, to put it lightly, a MASSIVE racist who also believed that the Russian Empire was successful due to the Tsars and the ruling class in general having German blood, he believed that Slavs were incapable of forming successful states) in the 1920s did believe...

  4. Would Japan surrender conditionally without an invasion or atomic bombs?

    It definitely was a failure of imagination for sure - especially since you're wrong about the border disputes being settled after Khalkhin Gol, border incidents, while never getting as bad as Lake Khasan and Khalkhin Gol, continued after Khalkhin Gol and even after the signing of the Neutrality...

  5. Would Japan surrender conditionally without an invasion or atomic bombs?

    Which makes me wonder, why did they expect the USSR to be supporting them in the first place? Did they not think that the USSR wanted to destroy them in 1945 (which they indeed wanted to do, they viewed Imperial Japan as a threat too, at times probably just as much as Nazi Germany)?

  6. How "should" WWII in 1940 have gone?

    If Stalin had committed suicide after the fall of Minsk and Barbarossa succeeded due to the Soviet government collapsing, I'd bet that the Soviet Union would probably be viewed as being less likely to have stood a chance of successfully fighting against the Nazis than France did.

  7. WI: Dick Cheney Became President in 2005 with Supermajorities in Congress?

    Didn't both the U.S. withdrawal from the ABM treaty and the BRAC happen after 9/11 OTL (with the latter happening way after 9/11 in 2005)?

  8. Consequences of Leningrad falling in 1941-42?

    One thing is certainly going to happen - if Leningrad fell in 1941 or 1942, on top of more people starving to death in Leningrad, the Nazis are going to destroy as much of the city as possible before the Soviets can retake it.

  9. Axis joined-up thinking?

    Marshall was told in April 1942 by the British what the consequences of the Axis controlling the entire Indian Ocean would be.

  10. Axis joined-up thinking?

    Hitler actually already believed by November 1937 at the latest that Britain was a "hate-inspired antagonist" that didn't want Germany to be strengthened further, even if he believed that difficulties in the Empire and unwillingness to get involved in another long European war had already caused...

  11. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    So the Burma Road wasn't temporarily closed like it was OTL? Interesting...

  12. The War That Came Even Earlier: WWII in 1936/37?!

    The Joint Estimate of the Situation in War Plan Red did state that Japan being allied with Britain against the US would be a possibility if Britain decided to go to war against the US.

  13. in 1984 U.S. presidential election, Mondale passes on 2nd debate because of non-apology from Reagan

    Yeah, Mondale was trailing far behind, which is why he isn't going to pass on the 2nd debate - he was hoping that another victory would narrow the gap further. Incidentally, "I will not make age an issue in this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and...

  14. How would a simultaneous French and Spanish civil wars play out?

    Pretty sure the Anschluss would also happen at around the same time or earlier than the invasion of Czechoslovakia if Hitler decides that conditions are favorable due to France falling into civil war.

  15. How would a simultaneous French and Spanish civil wars play out?

    Interestingly, Hitler in November 1937 stated that a French civil war would be one of two scenarios (the other being France getting into a war with Italy, which he predicted would happen in Summer 1938) that would cause him to immediately order an invasion of Czechoslovakia. Of course, Hitler...

  16. What if no Korean War?

    Maybe, but I don't see them as being likely to invade North Korea, especially since the US before the Korean War wasn't exactly eager to give them military aid OTL.

  17. Who would the 1932 Democratic presidential nominee be if FDR had lost his bid for governor of New York?

    Plus, there was one small messup that Hoover did in his 1932 presidential campaign. He compared his 1932 reelection campaign to Abraham Lincoln's reelection campaign in 1864, which made Southerners upset at him, to say the least.

  18. What if Japan declared war on the Soviet Union after Pearl Harbor?

    Indeed. One of the reasons that the Japanese invaded Attu and Kiska in June 1942 was so they would be in a better position to disrupt communications between the United States and the Soviet Union.

  19. What if Japan declared war on the Soviet Union after Pearl Harbor?

    The Japanese in Spring 1942 after conquering the Philippines, British Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies did believe that they would eventually be ready to attack the Soviet Union... in 1944 (and I think this was premised on nothing going wrong for Japan in the meantime). So a Japanese attack on...

  20. Best rearmament of the Reichswehr?

    Actually, the Soviets and the Poles had improved their relations in 1932 (with a non-aggression pact being signed during that year) to the point that von Neurath said in 1933 that it was now uncertain whether the Soviets would help stop a Polish invasion. Now he could've been saying that because...
