  1. Was Japan really in an "unwinnable" war?

    In OTL yes, clearly. However if you look at some of the main reasons noted for Japan losing the war (disparity in economies, population etc.), on paper some of those disparities don't seem as massive. Industrial capacity yes, but I believe the US population in the early 1940's was around 150...

  2. Why did the Confederacy keep fighting after Vicksburg/Gettysburg?

  5. Instead of launching Gettysburg Campaign, Lee relieves Vicksburg

    What would have happened if instead of launching the Gettysburg campaign, the Confederates took a defensive stance in the Eastern theater in order to send forces to help relieve the pressure on Vicksburg?

  6. Axis abandon North Africa campaign

    If the Germans had made the Italians pull out of North Africa instead of sending Rommel to reinforce them, wold the losses in men and material have made a significant difference in the Italian campaign or Eastern Front? I was always under the impression North Africa was basically a sideshow...

  7. Germany Declaring War On The United States Doesn't Make Any Sense

    Of all the inexplicable things the Germans did before and during WW2, this still baffles. Even factoring in the Nazi ideology and how it guided some of their absurd decisions, it still doesn't make any sense. The United States and Germany had passive hostilities regarding the Battle of the...

  9. Churchill proposed "Franco-British Union"

    http://jalopnik.com/the-ten-largest-ships-ever-conceived-476070485 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Habakkuk Good lord.....I've never heard of this. This might be the most fantastical military design that was actually conceived of during ww2 outside of nuclear weapons.

  11. Japan Doesn't Invade China, Longest Possible Pacific War?

    Let me start by saying I haven't done a ton of research into the who, why, and how of the Japan-China war other than "Imperial Japan wanted conquest,resources" but let's say they never invade China(things are smoothed over following the Marco Polo Bridge Incident) how many resources and men does...

  17. British victory in war of 1812, creation of Indian state

    How long do you think this country would have lasted? What if the British concluded a mutual defense treaty, to deter the US from launching a war?

  18. WW2 Japan attacks Siberia , and why did Japan fear the USSR and not the US in WW2?

    I've always wondered how a Japanese front in Siberia would have affected WW2. As we know, the Siberian armies kept there to deter her which were moved West after intelligence indicated Japan would not attack, are what saved Moscow. The reasons for not doing so are obvious: 1. The battle of...
