  1. What were Japanese plans for China, after a victory in the Sino-Japanese War ?

    Were the Japanese ready to accept a conditional surrender from the RoC ? Would they have demanded complete demilitarization of the RoC ? Or "merely" restricting the RoC military forces to infantry only ? Or maybe even let the RoC have a limited amount of tanks, combat vehicles and artillery ...

  2. If Soviet Union joins the Axis in the winter of 1940-41, how would Italy do in the war ?

    There were talks about the Soviets becoming the fourth member of the Axis, with each one (Soviet Union, Reich, Italy and Japan) having its own designated sphere of influence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Soviet_Axis_talks It's probably unrealistic for various reasons (such as...

  3. If no WWII, when does India become independent ?

    If there's no war involving Britain in the 1940s (for whatever reason), when does India realistically become independent ? And also, without WWII, does India become a single country ? Or will Pakistan still exist ?

  4. DBWI : The Ottomans never conquered the British Isles

    Would the Ottomans have expanded (from Morocco) into Americas or West Africa, instead of the British Isles ? Or just never conquered Morocco, and instead conquered Persia ? Or Austria and Italy ?

  5. DBWI : No British-American split in Cold War

    Would the USA have supported France in the Algerian War ? And what about Ulster ? Or the Quasi-War of the Sea of China ?

  6. Could the British Empire have won WWII on its own ?

    What I mean is, could Britain have used Industry in Britain and Dominions Industrialization of India Manpower from the Empire (esp. India) Control of the seas Better R&D to drown the Axis and win the war through attrition ? Let's assume, in this post, that 1 ) The USA give LL to Britain...

  7. After Axis victory (no US or Soviet intervention), how would Britain fare ?

    Without worrying about the specifics, let's say Nazi Germany decided to focus on Britain first, and renounced Barbarosssa. Maybe Hitler had slightly different ideas, or he died and was replaced, or the Soviets put a better show in Finland and prepared better... The reason doesn't matter much...

  8. What did Hitler hope to achieve with the DoW on USA ?

    I know the various alleged reasons why he declared war on the USA (which revolve around his ego or the undeclared naval conflict that already existed or hatred for "the Jews behind American banks"). But what did he hope to achieve ? He (and everyone else) knew that he could not invade the USA...

  9. A Goa'uld Miracle

    Human Yet Alien 21st July 2245 - Geneva Geneva had, seemingly, always been a beehive of activity, at least since the 20th century. After all, the city became the host of numerous international institutions thanks to the neutrality of Switzerland, until it became the seat of the Earth Alliance...

  10. Challenge : Ottoman Empire survival/restoration post-1922

    I'm in the mood for challenges this evening, so I launch this one too. How could the Ottoman Empire have been re-established after 1922 ? Somehow, Ataturk had to be killed during his reign and be replaced by some incompetent, or not gain power at all, leaving Turkey divided between...

  11. Challenge : maintain the colonial empires (France and UK)

    Well, everything is in the title. The challenge is to maintain the French and British empire. It can be in a federalized way, or any way that involves the OFFICIAL maintain of the empire (no neo-colonialism with official independence), and at least military, monetary diplomatic and custom...

  12. Axis : US/China/Japan/Germany/Italy. VS Allies : UK/France/USSR

    I posted this first in the topic "US in Axis", but it disappeared then. I know it's unlikely to have the US join Axis, but I still wanted to try for it. I also tried to limit the amount of handwavium (even though I can't do miracles). POD : The Islamic rebellion of 1937, in Xinjiang, happens...

  13. Hotaki Persia, and No Nadir Shah

    Hi. OTL, in 1720-1722, the Afghans (under the Hotaki dynasty) invaded and conquered Persia. However, the Safavid dynasty, represented by Tahmasp II, survived in the west. Both Russians (under Peter the Great) and Ottomans took advantage of the chaos to expand in the Caucasus. Russia was...
