    AHC: Unite the three major Abrahamic religions

    As advertised. Unite the three major Abrahamic faiths (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) at any time between the death of Muhammad in 632 and the time where we can't use this forum anymore.

    DBWI: Soviets join in the invasion of Poland?

    I've heard that, when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the Soviets were itching to retake the parts of eastern Poland that they had previously lost, but due to the fact that the Nazis seriously hated communism and communists, were in no real hurry to help them out. So, I was wondering what it...

    DBWI: Operation Sealion never attempted

    In September 1940, Germany launched its attempted invasion of Great Britain. Everyone is more or less familiar with how that went--the Germans were utterly defeated in a matter of days and Operation Sealion went down in history as one of the most spectacular (and, honestly, almost kind of...

    AHC: Make the Soviet Union an ally of the West by or before 1950.

    The Soviet Union remains communist, and the West remains non-communist, but the two are not hostile towards each other, do not fight each other by proxy, and frequently cooperate with each other. Essentially, the late 1980s, but much earlier. Is this possible?

    DBWI: No Warsaw Pact-NATO War

    [Let's use a Red Storm Rising sort of scenario, in which the Soviets conventionally invade West Germany, but then sign a lasting ceasefire and peacefully retreat back to pre-war lines after failing to achieve their goals.]

    Soviet Union civil war in the mid-1980s.

    What would happen if the Soviet Union had a large civil war in the 1980s? What course would the war likely take, and what would its repercussions be?
