To the Victor, Go the Spoils Welcome to the world of 'To the Victor', a graphical history of the world following a victory of the Central Powers in the Great War. I came up with this lore over how the Central Powers could have come to victory after playing and discussing Kaiserreich repeatedly...

Otl, as I understand it, italy joined the entente due to relying on them for food, and AH owning Soth-Tyrol and their adriatic desires. What if then, AH offered to sell south tyrol to them, as well as the some of the north adriatic (AH would ideally get a good chunk of the southern portion after...

So let's say Lenin is able to force his will on the rest of the Bolsheviks when the initial Brest-Litovsk treaty is proposed and Congress Poland, Lithuania, and Livonia are ceded to the Central Powers in December 1917. Is this too late to give Germany a chance at victory in the West? This thread...

The Christmas War. The War of 1914. In some parts still, the great war. There are many names for the war that started because of Franz Ferdinand's assassination. But with the horrors of trench warfare breaking morale within a few weeks, there were mutinies on all sides around Christmas, with the...

If every other nation involved is on otl sides, how would this war play out?

Let's say the Central Powers prevail over the Entente (Americans stay out obviously, perhaps Italy does too to allow the CP to focus solely on France and Russia). What would become of the sick man of Europe? Would the empire collapse like it did iOTL or would it survive and perhaps even...

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...

As we all know, Russia joining the Central Powers played a major role in securing victory for them. But what if Russia had instead joined the Entente and the Ottomans joined the Central Powers instead? The other important question would be how can this be done? How would the war have gone down...

Okay, so I don't know enough about Bulgaria to be able to think up a good POD for them joining the Entente, however, I do know that the king of Greece was related to Kaiser Wilhelm II and was heavily sympathetic to the German cause. So, let's say that, for some reason, Greece joins the Central...

So, there was a timeline awhile back where the USA was a Central Power in WW1, and I was wondering, how could they have become one? I heard that, when the war began, a large portion of the (mostly German and Irish-American) population in general supported the central powers while wealthy...

I've been working on a new TL lately. I think the time is right for the first installment. The Dogger Bank War Chapter I: The Russo-Japanese Conflict and the Dogger Bank Incident, February-October 1904. The Russo-Japanese War started in 1904 and was initially fought between the Russian...

On the XIII until the XVII centuries AD the Kingdom of Denmark controlled parts of the baltic, as it can be check on this map. Since Denmark became a very peacefull country after the war with Prussia I believe that a 19th century PoD is more realistic for the situation. Let's say that after the...

World War 1 isn't called the "War of the Century" for a reason. It was a war that would determine which nation would be the superpower of the 20th century. We all know about the political effects of World War 1 and how it led the rise of the United States as a superpower. There are already many...

There is a thread here that discusses the military potential and consequences of a CP-aligned US, out of the blue in August 1914 - but with no clear POD. All agree, though, that the Entente is doomed - the point of contention is when. I thought it would be interesting to look at actual...

Let's say, that Germany doesn't have to reinforce the Eastern Front, as Austria-Hungary manages to withstand the Russians with minimal German presence. Serbia is not a problem either, while Italy doesn't join the war. Without the need of diverting forces elsewhere, what could be the German...

Make the United States (With a Post-1900 PoD) join the Central Powers in August 1914. There needs to be a great swift in alignment of American politics for that to happen for sure, but how ? Maybe USA and Britain enter in a Crisis during/after the Hispano-American War ? More German Immigrants to...

I don't know if this particular subject has been discussed at length in other threads speculating about a Central Powers victory in World War One, but I've often wondered about what political direction Germany itself would move in if it were to come out on top at war's end. No matter how the war...

It is almost unanimously accepted that if Germany won the First Battle of the Marne, World War I would eventually end with a Central Powers Victory. However, what if Germany won the Second Battle of the Marne? Would this change anything? Would the victory still go to the allies? Would this...

What do you think the peace terms should be for the peace treaty of WW1 if the Entente lost and the central powers won? There doesn't have to be a POD to set this (but you can add your own POD if you want to), just an idea of what the treaty could look like in your opinion.
