1900s

Okay, so I feel like this would be variable from person to person based on the concept alone, however the basic premise is this: starting out with a POD between the years 1900 and 1910, create a short, semi-plausible timeline which leads to what you feel would be the best case scenario for the...

WI the Moroccan Crisis had led to war?

Long time lurker and AH fan, I've finally decided to write my own TL. Enjoy! 1. CARLO ALBERTO Novara 20 March 1848 Charles Albert of Savoy, king of Sardinia Piedmont Charles Albert of Savoy was seated in his chair, in the royal command tent at the center of Sardinian Army camp. It was early...

After WWI and Serbian troops taking Croatia and Slovenia, both Peter I and Alexander I are accepting idea of smaller territorial gains proposed by Prime Minister Nikola Pašić . Serbs annex whole Bosnia, parts of Slavonia inhabited with Serbs and greater part f Dalmatia. Serbs also gave...

In 1904, after Theodore Roosevelt's landslide election to a full term, journalists pressed the young President over whether or not he would run again in 1908. Roosevelt dodged their questions and continued to do so until 1908, when he announced his bid for a second full term. Roosevelt's critics...

Sweden - Nikolai Ottovich von Essen carries out his planned strike on the Swedish navy in Gotland (Sweden joins the Central Powers, 1914) Norway - The Central Powers find out about Norway's "secret tonnage agreement" with the United Kingdom, which allowed Norway and the Entente to protect each...

Would Theodore Roosevelt have ever become President if McKinley had survived his assassination attempt?

With a POD after 1900, how could the GOP have remained to be the more progressive US political party?

First, to check, how plausible do you think it is for William McKinley and/or the Republican Party to pick this man to be the running mate in 1900? Second (if it is at least somewhat plausible), supposing this had happened and that McKinley was still assassinated September 1901 - what is his...

In 1901 while visiting Bremen, Kaiser Wilhelm II was shot at by an anarchist. He was hit, but not seriously wounded. What if the shot was lethal, though? How would world affairs play out differently if his 19 year old son, Wilhelm III, was crowned Kaiser Wilhelm III, especially with WW1 coming...

As the title says, what if the Austro-Hungarians adopt English as the command language in their common army? Let's say, it happen somewhere between 1890 and 1900. What are your thoughts? How does it influence the military performance and Austria-Hungary in general?

Can it be done?

After asking this scenario before in this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/emperess-anastatia-of-russia.447325/#post-17282247 I decided to make my own timeline about Empress Anastasia I. All I ask is for people not to say this is ASB or impossible, but to leave helpful and...

Apparently in the 1900s the notion of a pre-emptive strike against German ships moored in Kiel and Wilhelmshaven was mooted on more than one occasion by elements in the British Admiralty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_German_Navy#1897_to_1906_Tirpitz_and_the_Navy_Bills What if the...

So, in a war that's rather forgotten due to the much larger conflicts both before and after it, Poland and the newborn Soviet Union went to war in 1919, the Polish-Soviet War. The reasons for the war are complex, being a combination of a desire amongst the Polish to regain the eastern...

The War of Dogger Bank aka the Anglo-Russian War Hello potential reader! I have always been fascinated with how Britain almost went to war with Russia over the Dogger Bank Incident, and I've finally gotten round to writing a TL about this scenario. I hope you like it! The Anglo-Russian War...

So, I'm thinking about doing a TL on the early 1900s, however, in my research I've found The terrible presidency of William Howard Taft, My question is if we could make the years 1908-1912 better. So basically I have 2 questions. 1. Who would be a good replacement for Taft 2. What would they...

I was wondering about the implications of an actually attempted Atlantropa. Let's assume that in the 20s or 30s it gains enough support to be constructed. I'm suggesting 20s or 30s, but you can chose any POD, I'm mainly concerned purely with the project, not the geopolitical conditions allowing...
