  1. More likely POD (separation movements)?

    Quebec leaving Canada in 1995 or Scotland leaving the UK in 2014?

  2. WI: Hitler launches Operation Sea Lion without air superiority?

    What would have happened if Hitler launched an amphibious assault on the south coast of Britain without using the Luftwaffe first to try to take out military targets/air bases in Britain, the failure of which was the primary reason why Hitler didn’t attempt a land invasion? Would he have been...

  3. WI: German Ataturk after 1945

    WI: Following the defeat of Nazi Germany and with allied powers partioning Germany and Berlin, a new charismatic German nationalist tries to start a movement against the foreign encroachment on Germany in a way similar to what Ataturk did in Turkey after the Treaty of Sevres? Would it have...

  4. More likely empire to survive to present day?

    Which empire do you think would have been more likely to survive to the Present day, assuming a POD around the turn of the century: the Ottoman Empire or the Austria-Hungarian Empire?

  5. WI: Soviet Union tries to re-capture Alaska during the Cold War?

    How would the US have responded if the US tried to invade Alaska to re-conquer it during the Cold War to establish a beachhead in North America? How would the US have responded?

  6. Would North Korea still exist today if China didn't step in during the Korean War?

    Would North Korea still exist today if China didn't send troops into Korea during the Korean war?

  7. WI: Felix Steiner carried out Hitler's order and counter-attacked the Russians in Berlin?

    What would have happened if Steiner carried out the counter attack? Although they were outnumbered 10-to-1, there were many battles in history where the victors were outnumbered as much or even worse. Do you think Steiner could have halted the Russians enough to buy Hitler some time to regroup...

  8. Canadian politics: More likely re-election, Brian Mulroney in 1993 or Stephen Harper in 2015

    If Brian Mulroney had stayed on as Conservative Party leader in 1993 instead of handing over power to Kim Campbell (who in retrospect lacked the chrisma and charm of Mulroney and wasn't as astute a campaigner) do you think he would have won re-election against the Liberal Party under Chretien...

  9. WI: Taoiseach Jack Lynch orders Irish military into Northern Ireland in 1969?

    The Republic of Ireland was allegedly contemplated a military mission into Northern Ireland in the late 1960s as the Troubles kicked off in the Bogside in Derry, ultimately with the hope of forcing the British out and uniting Ireland which Lynch said would be the permanant solution. What would...

  10. Joseph Goebbels at Nuremberg?

    If Joseph Goebbels had been tried at Nuremberg, how do you think he would have been sentenced?

  11. If John Major and the Tories had stayed in power until 2002-2003, would the UK still have gotten involved in Afghanistan and Iraq?

    In many ways, John Major was on the left-side of the Tory Party and was more closely aligned with Chirac politically than the US republicans, while Tony Blair moved his labour party more to the right to try to position the party better to win after the Thatcher years. Say John Major somehow...

  12. Would Ireland still be in the UK today if Britain had spared the 1916 Easter Uprising leaders?

    The Irish public had originally viewed the uprising very unfavourably, but the public opinion turned after Britain shot all the rebel leaders in the gaol, leading to general unrest and the Irish war of independence following WW1. Do you think had Britain spared the rebel leaders, Ireland would...

  13. WI: Steve Jobs iPhone demo fails in 2007?

    I read that when Jobs presented the iPhone back in 2007, he was using a prototype device with primitive software that could have crashed at any moment during the demo and it was by sheer luck that he got through the presentation. I was wondering what would have happened if the demo failed, and...

  14. WI: Allied victory in Europe, but Japan wins in the Pacific?

    This could play out if USA was never dragged into the war with only Japan in the first place- ie. Pearl Harbor not attacked so the Pacific War is pretty much separate from the European affair. They could still enter the European war at a later stage with less emphasis on what was happening in...

  15. WI: Allied victory in Europe, but Japan wins in the Pacific?

    Europe pretty much will be the same as OTL with a split between the capitalist west and the soviet east, but things in the Pacific will be interesting with a Japanese-led puppet (probably right-winged) government in China right next to Siberia- might be a setup for a confrontation between the...

  16. WI: Clinton nukes Belgrade during Bosnian conflict?

    What would have happened if Bill Clinton and the US, in an effort to destabilize the Serbian leadership and efforts to take Bosnia, used a nuclear weapon on Belgrade to take out Milosevic?

  17. If Bush Sr. won the GOP nomination in 1980, who would have won the U.S. Presidential Election that year?

    Bush Sr. isn't nearly as charismatic or confident a speaker as Reagan was, but he does have more foreign policy experience than Reagan which would have been appealing in cold war politics. Do you think Bush Sr. still could have beaten President Carter's re-election bid in 1980?

  18. If Chamberlain hadn't declared war, would Hitler have stopped with Poland?

    If Chamberlain had allowed Hitler to carve up Poland in half with Stalin, would Hitler have been content with finally retaking the land that was once Prussia and connecting the main German reich with East Prussia? Would WW2 have been ultimately averted?

  19. Would HIV/AIDS still have existed if Jimmy Carter won a second term?

    I'm saying the Carter administration would have had better public health policies compared to that of Reagan (which is a fair statement), and could have possibly stopped HIV from becoming an epidemic in the early-mid 1980s.

  20. Would HIV/AIDS still have existed if Jimmy Carter won a second term?

    Say Jimmy Carter wins in 1980, and serves until 1985, his administration would undoubted have been better for health-care for homosexuals in California at the time and there would have been more funding for the NIH and FDA. Do you think with Carter winning a second term HIV would have infected...
