  1. Could Czar Ferdinand have refounded the Byzantine empire?

    When I was reading "The Guns of August" I noticed near the begining it says . Is it even remotely possible that he could have accomplished even part of his grand ambition?

  2. WI There was a "Danger Man" film series?

    Patrick Mcgoohan was once approached to play James Bond, but turned down the role as being too immoral. Suppose he instead starred in a movie series about the John Drake character? Since this character seemed to better fit his beliefs. How plausible would it be for this to have happened...

  3. What if the U.S. had left immediately after beating Afghanistan and Iraq

    What would have happened if the U.S. had simply invaded, deposed the existing leaders, and then left as fast as possible without hanging around to occupy the places, leaving the locals to their own devices? What would the locals think of this? What would other foreign nations think of this...

  4. Napoleon 3 dies at Sedan

    If Napoleon was killed in battle at Sedan, rather than captured, would this make any major difference on what form the French government after Sedan, and after the war, would take? Any chance of him being seen as a martyr? Or what if he is captured, but then shot and killed later on by a...

  5. DBWI: Obama wins the Nobel War Prize

    This is outrageous! The War Prize is supposed to go to the world's greatest conquerors and generals. What has Obama conquered? Who has Obama subjugated and crushed under his boot heels to earn a triumph? Just like they don't sentence you to be drawn and quartered for attempted Jaywalking...

  6. Help remembering a book title

    I've been trying to remember the title of a science fiction book I read years ago that I've been wanting to read again but I can't remember the title. I remember that it takes place long after humanity has gone extinct but someone, a female character if I remember correctly, is reincarnating...

  7. WI Krushchev and Eisenhower die in helicopter crash in 1959

    I've read that during Krushchev's 1959 visit to the USA, when Eisenhower and Krushchev were going for a ride in a helicopter over Washington, workers building a fish ladder in the Potomac had been blasting rock out of the riverbed sending large chunks of rock into the air, which could have hit...

  8. Could Kaiser Wilhelm II have inherited the British crown?

    I don't know anything about British succession rules but I do know that both Wilhelm II and George V were descended from Queen Victoria. Was Wilhelm II anywhere in the line of succession? If so how many others would have to die before it got to him? It would certainly make things interesting...

  9. What if Nikolai von Essen violated Swedish neutrality in WW1

    I found this at http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=137746 . What if he had gone ahead with the attack? How big an impact would Sweden's entry have made? Does anyone know how strong Sweden's military was at the time? I apologize if this has been asked before.

  10. WI Shanghai incident of Jan 28 1932 is averted

    Suppose Japan accepts the Shanghai municipal government's agreement to their demands and doesn't launch the attack that became a foreign relations disaster for Japan, which earns it the enmity of other nations with interests in Shanghai? This would be difficult to achieve as Japan was looking...

  11. What if Japan declares war just before Pearl Harbor

    What if Japan had made a formal declaration of war just before the attack on Pearl Harbor? This would ideally be done just minutes before the attack on Pearl Harbor begins to retain the element of surprise. Though getting the timing right would be difficult to say the least. Would this have...

  12. DBWI: Wisconsin annexes the U.P.

    Wisconsin has just annexed the Upper Peninsula from Michigan. At a press conference in the nation's capitol, New Berlin, (OOC same location as OTL New Berlin Wisconsin), the Kanzler roughly stated that this was a long time coming and that this is just a natural extension of the nation's...

  13. If ACW becomes a World War who joins who?

    If the Union and Great Britain declare war against each other over Trent Affair what other nations would intervene for one side or the other? If I recall correctly Russia was very supportive of the Union cause, could they be counted on to join the war against Britain/CSA? Who do you see...

  14. What if the Apollo 11 crew defected?

    Neil Armstrong steps out of the lunar lander but instead of the words we are familiar with he says this, "Hey Houston, I've got two words for ya. We defect!" He then unfurls a Soviet flag the astronauts somehow smuggled on board, and starts singing the Soviet national anthem. All three...

  15. What if the 9/11 attacks had been the result of domestic terrorists

    Suppose if instead of Al-Qaeda, the attacks had been perpetrated by some sort of extremist group native to the United States with no apparent international connections. Lets suppose for this it was a far right wing organization bent on bringing down the goverment and the terrorists had been...
