  1. Foothold at Dunkirk

    Most of the conversations revolving around Dunkirk are about What IF the evacuation of the BEF failed and the like. I'm rather curious though what if there is no evacuation. Instead Britain decides they have enough troops on the continent to hold a foothold in Europe and instead orders the BEF...
  2. Questions about the nobility of children who don't inherit.

    I'm in the process of writing a historical fiction story and something came up that I'm having trouble finding an answer for.

    One of the differences between the United States and most countries is that Washington D.C. is not also the most populous city in the country. In most other nations the capital city also serves as the main city of the country and is the most populated. So your challenge if you choose to...

  8. DBWI- What if no German Battleship came to Titanic's rescue?

    As everyone knows that hundreds of passengers who otherwise would have died in the tragic sinking of the Titanic were saved by the passing German battleship Rheinland. The ship which was only a few miles away saw Titanic's distress flags and raced to the location and immediately began rescue...
  9. Italy 1936 - An alternate Italian history of World War II

    This timeline is a “what if,” on what if Mussolini was a smarter, shrewder politician in the realm of international relations from 1936 onwards. The point of divergence is the conquest of Ethiopia by Italian forces on May 5th 1936. This is the first part of a completed timeline which was...
