  1. What if Japan had surrendered conditionally?

    How about if we change the scenario, because I also don't think any conditional surrender was possible after Potsdam Declaration. What if a completely new government rule Japan and more pragmatic militarist faction control the Army and Navy. After the defeat in the Leyte Gulf and the beginning...

  3. Reverse Midway Part One: Japanese Blitzkrieg

    Let Operation Hawaiian Monk Seal begin!!!

  4. Japanese Use "Island Hopping" Strategy In 1941-42

    Allied choose the Island Hopping strategy because their final objective is to reach the Japanese Home island, bomb it to oblivion, and force Imperial Japan to capitulate. So they didn't have to take and hold much of territory. They just need bases for securing the supply route from Mainland USA...

  5. Decisive battle at Caroline Islands (WW II)

    Are Japanese pilots quality already that bad at this point? If Japanese choose to fight, are the result will be like "Mariana Turkey Shoot"?

  6. Decisive battle at Caroline Islands (WW II)

    Forgive if I'm wrong...cause I'm not a historian. The IJN already evacuate the Trukk harbour of any major capital ships and a number of aircrafts before the Operation started because they already suspect a major raid were coming. When USN hit Trukk, most ships still in the area were merchant...

  7. Decisive battle at Caroline Islands (WW II)

    What if Imperial Japanese Navy decide to make a stand in Marshal Island when Operation Hailstone (the raid of Trukk Harbour in February 1944) commenced? Will the IJN able to defeat the raiding forces? Can this battle intensified into a decisive battle like OTL Battle of Philippine Seas?

  8. WI: No Battle of Philippine Sea?

    Agreed... Let say after their Carrier Forces decimated, Ozawa deployed all his remaining assets (battleship, cruisers, destroyer, et all) against the American fleet and got wiped out to the very last ship, at very least they might sunk several American ships. (I know this move is beyond...

  9. WI: US blockades Japan

    Not this kind of scenario already discussed in CalBear's AngloAmerican-Nazi War? IIRC Japan's inland sea trade routes was completely blockaded, their towns and cities firebombed, their farms gassed with defoliant, all modern public infrastructure destroyed from air and sea, and all...

  10. The Japanese would invade the U.S. during World War 2

    Pardon me, 1941 is a decent movie:( But not one of Spielberg masterpiece for sure:D

  11. A balkanized China

    If current People Republic of China collapse for some imaginary reasons, and then later on multiple new successor states rise from the chaos (in short China follow the path taken Yugoslavia). What those new states will be? Will it be divided by ethnic/language/region/religion? I only can...

  12. AHC: Japan Successfully Isolates Australia

    What if there is no Central Pacific Offensive Sorry a bit off topic, but I don't want to make a new thread. What if there is no Central Pacific Offensive, but whole effort focused solely on South West Pacific route? Will this make Allied victory achieved sooner because of the seer amount...

  13. Kantai Kessen-an Alternate Pacific War

    Mahan Doctrine is a solid strategy. But the only way Japan can win with it, is that USN follow all Japanese war plan to the letter :D And its need all combined stupidity in every single US Navy personnel to do that;)

  14. Pacific Ordeal

    Forgive my ignorance, but is this scenario plausible? I can imagine that Hitler and Nazi government fall to a military coup, but I can't fathom that Germany simply surrender while the war situation still not yet hopeless. As far that I know, Germany situation in 1943 is not the same like in...

  15. WI:Second Sino-Japanese War in the late 1940s.

    A Imperial Japan that didn't launch the Sino-Japanese War will be an entirely different from the OTL Imperial Japan. Also, a Republic of China that not devastated by Sino-Japanese War simply will not be a bigger Taiwan. What happen next will be mostly depends on the POD itself... Why in this...

  16. WI:Second Sino-Japanese War in the late 1940s.

    A full scale war more likely didn't happen at least until 1970s. Republic of China is have much to catch up. Even if China got serious foreign backing (more likely from both USSR and USA, both superpowers need to contain Japan influence in East Asia and Pacific), Japan still have huge...

    Elvis next song will be I shot the Man (but i don't mean it);)

  18. What ultimately made the Japanese surrender in WWII?

    Is it true that Japanese Government shocked by the Soviet DOW? I mean, not that is obvious USSR will make a move against Japan sooner or latter. Even at that time, world leaders (especially those who was an anti communist, like in Japan) already know Stalin is a arch-opportunist...

  19. What ultimately made the Japanese surrender in WWII?

    The nukes... Hirohito himself said so in his surrender speech. Soviet DOW simply the final straw. The Soviet offensive in mainland Asia that destroy Japanese Armies in Manchuria and Korea (and also threaten to invade Hokkaido in near future, when the Soviet acquired sufficient number of...

  20. Failed first move: What if Kido Butai defeated at Pearl Harbour

    POD : US Intelligence crack Japanese Naval Codes in early December 1941, thus able to decipher the exact plan of Japanese attack against Pearl Harbour and warned the base at December 6th. When Japanese planes arrived, they found the entire base at full alert. The battleships already powering...
