  1. What if Yugoslavia was split in two after WW2?

    Let's say that during the war, the Western part of Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia) was liberated by the Western Allies and non-Communist partisans, while the Eastern part (Serbia, Montenegro, etc.) was liberated by Tito's partisans and the Soviets. Both sides set up their own...

  2. WI: Territorially intact Hungary post-WW1

    The basic premise of the scenario revolves around the leaders of Hungary acting more competently and decisively in the closing days of WW1 and during subsequent events. I didn't yet work out the exact details, but one idea of mine is getting Károlyi Mihály appointed Prime Minister of Hungary...

  3. Effects of a surviving Jagiellonian dynasty in Poland-Lithuania?

    What if the Jagiellonian dynasty didn't come to an end with Sigismund II Augustus' death? First of all, I know the Union of Lublin wouldn't be a thing, since there would be no need to create a real union between Poland and Lithuania for the two realms to remain connected. The Jagiellonians were...

  4. No Jagiellonian inheritance; effects in the Empire and beyond

    I'm currently trying to explore a scenario inwhich Louis II of Hungary doesn't die at the Battle of Mohács. Putting aside the exact developments concerning Hungary itself, what I wish to discuss here is the potential butterflies West of the Leitha. This is sort of a sequel/reboot of my previous...

  5. No Jagiellonian inheritance; alternate division of Habsburg realms

    I'm currently trying to explore a scenario inwhich Louis II of Hungary doesn't die at the Battle of Mohács. Putting aside the exact developments concerning Hungary itself, what I wish to discuss here is the potential butterflies West of the Leitha. This is what I settled on so far: Margaret of...

  6. Consequences of a lasting union between Hungary and Naples?

    After the death of Louis I of Hungary (and Poland), his eldest living daugher, Mary was crowned King of Hungary. Her reign however proved to be rather unpopular. It was Mother-Queen Elisabeth and a clique led by Palatine Nicholas Garai who actually governed the country, and their inept policies...

  7. Modern day Hungary demographics without Ottoman occupation

    Hello there! It's been a while since I last made a Hungary demography thread; that is getting rectified now. This one's a bit different from the others however. This time, I'm trying construct a list of largest cities for Hungary in a scenario inwhich the country doesn't suffer its OTL fate of...

  8. WI: Suleiman dies in late 1520/ early 1521

    What if Suleiman I died in late 1520 or early 1521 (right before his campaign against Hungary)? The reason of death could be either an accident, poisoning or a sudden illness, anything. Around that time, the Ottoman Empire had no obvious adult (or even adolescent) heir(s), AFAIK. Suleiman had...

  9. WI: Crusaders routed at Zara in 1202

    Even before the sack of Constantinople in 1204, the Fourth Crusade already wrecked havoc at Zara in 1202. Upon Venetian request, the Crusaders attacked and besieged Zara, which was a notable trade rival of Venice in the Adriatic. IOTL the city was caught offguard by the sudden arrival and...

  10. WI: Wittelsbach restoration post-WW2 with Austro-Hungarian support

    What if the German Basic Law adopted in 1949 would have allowed the Bundesländer to decide their own form of government and consequently Bavaria would have restored its monarchy? I read the idea of Wittelsbach restoration was very popular at the time, and it only didn't materialise because of...

  11. WI Austria-Hungary survives WW1?

    POD: Austria-Hungary remains on the defence through 1918, the Italian Front doesn't break, and the Entente's advance on the Balkans is halted somewhere in Central Serbia thanks to Austro-Hungarian reinforcements and Entente logistical limits. (By this point, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire...

  12. WI: Charles Martel, son of Andrew of Hungary and Joanna of Naples lives

    Apparently, Andrew, younger brother of Louis I of Hungary and Joanna of Naples had a son who died early. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Martel,_Duke_of_Calabria#Son_of_Joanna_I_of_Naples As I understand it, had he lived, he would have become the legal heir of not only Naples, but also of...

  13. Could Luxembourg expand within the German Empire?

    In a CP victory scenario, inwhich Luxembourg joins the German Empire as a new member state, how likely could it be that Prussia cedes the Britburg-Prüm region? Most of the area was historically Luxembourgish, and the cession would not only compensate for Luxembourg's loss of sovereignty, but it...

  14. WW1 negotiated peace: What about the economy?

    WW1 concluded with a negotiated peace in late 1917/early 1918. In the peace treaty, neither side was required to pay any reparations/indemnities and both sides pledged not to introduce new punitive tariff barriers post-war. The US never entered the war and never provided unsecured loans to...

  15. Demographics of a surviving Austria-Hungary (again)

    Quite some time passed since I posted this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/demographics-of-a-surviving-austria-hungary.488463/ Since then, I kept revisiting the topic starting from scratch every time. At this point, I finally reached a point where I'm more or less...

  16. Ottoman Empire joins WWI later. Effects within OE? Fate of Armenians?

    In the "mild CP victory" TL I'm working on, I'm having the Ottomans join the war later than OTL, in late February/early March. The sole purpose of this change is the delay/lessening/prevention of the Armenian genocide. With more favourable weather conditions, the Turks don't suffer such a...

  17. Would Italy still join WW1 in this scenario?

    The Austro-Hungarian Second Army initially isn't deployed against Serbia, it gets sent to East Galicia in accordance to the warplans. As a result, A-H forces in East Galicia manage to halt the Russian advance for the time being. The A-H Fourth Army doesn't get ordered to reinforce the retreating...

  18. Neutral Italy during WW1: Fate of the Dodecanese?

    According to the 1912 Treaty of Ouchy which ended the Italo-Turkish War, the Italians were obligated the return the Dodecanese Islands to the Ottoman Empire once the latter fulfilled its peace obligation. Before the islands could have been returned however, the Ottoman Empire got involved in...

  19. Central Powers seek peace jointly in Autumn, 1918. What happens to the Ottomans?

    Present is the following scenario: A-H doesn't launch the 2nd Battle of Piave, instead it chooses to strenghten its defences behind the river and also send a few divisions to the Balkans to aid the Bulgarians. As a result, neither the Italian, nor the Balkan Front collapses, however the...

  20. WI: Ferdinand unites Hungary early then defeats Suleiman in battle

    Visualise the following scenario: Following the disastrous Battle of Mohács and Louis II's death, Ferdinand von Habsburg and John Szapolyai both claim the Hungarian throne for themselves. However unlike IOTL, the Battle of Tarcal(1527) proves to be more decisive, as it results in not only...
