Assuming that the Russian Empire had not collapsed (perhaps the Brusilov Offensive is more effective and the Battle of Tannenburg never happens) how could they have altered the Treaty of Versailles for their benefit? -Does the Tsar want a strong Germany left over to prevent liberalism from...

say that East Francia doesn’t become as decentralised as it did otl, i.e Otto I’s reforms last longer, but for whatever reason the HRE isn’t restored. The Kingdom continues down the centralisation and monarchical power that happened in the rest of Europe. In broad strokes, what happens?

What if the November 1994 Swedish referendum for membership into the European Union had resulted in a slight majority for the "no" vote, enough to keep the country away from the EU and thus leaving Finland as the only EU member in Scandinavia? What would be the effects on Sweden's economy...

The Yugoslav and Ukrainian wars were pretty bad already for Europe post-Cold War. However, could it been possible for Europe after the Cold War been more violent? Realistically of course. The scenarios can have roots during the protest movements of the late-80s if needed (e.g. armed conflicts in...

So i know this could bring up some heated debate but i find this is a really interesting topic. i have already looked for other threads on it but found nothing. this was very much inspired by the son of Aragon timeline with the reformed Catholics of England and Denmark though with a twist for...

this is a quick timeline idea i thought up one day. it's main premise is that the league of emperors holds but does eventually does fall out however good old willy this takes in a bit more from his interactions with Bismark and sides with Russia over Austria, with a hole in the league they...

Excluding the ethnicities from the discussion, what would the ideal borders for various European countries be? What interests me is having most of Europe as developed as it's possible. What would the optimal borders be? What about natural resources? How much of the land would they need to make...

With a PoD no earlier than the Lockerbie Bombing in 1988, create a scenario in which all people who commit terrorism after any certain date receive a mandatory death sentence in all of Eurasia, Canada, the USA, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Algeria...

There's this alternate history fanfic I've been reading with a POD just after 1040 CE. The author's welcomed people making fanart for the fic before, so I'm planning to make a map of Europe at the point the fic's at currently. Does anyone have a good map of Europe around 1040 CE that I could use...

Hello all I was curious about how a region like Europe that was largely seperate from the Muslim world would develop over the coming centuries? For a POD I'm going to assume that Mohammed simply doesn't start preaching this 'new' religion and lives out a regular life,(or maybe he's never...

Okay, so your challenge is basically to have the Far East (as in Eastern Asia) replace Western Europe as the land of great imperialist powers and the metaphorical center of technological and cultural progress (before hopefully eventually realizing imperialism sucks, decolonizing everything, and...

Without becoming an ASB, which European colonies could be held realistically to this day with a POD after 1945. I've thought of these: Portugal: Cabina, Timor, Macau, Cabo Verde, Sao Tome & Principe Spain: Bioko Island Netherlands: Dutch New Guinea, Suriname Britain: Cyprus, Malta, Hong Kong...

Africa these days, is a complicated and messy place to say the least. Home to many civil wars, disease outbreaks, ethnic tensions, a history of exploitation by western powers, and depressing cases of starvation and malnourishment caused by all of the aforementioned. Even a person more ignorant...

So i have been working on this timelime for some time now. it is not finished, and i would like to get feedback. i forgot exact years and details, iv'e got that writen somewhere, but here is the basic things: the picts unite and become maritime, colonizing the north sea shore. rome does not...

Chapter 1: Jolly Good Company To many walking past him down the streets of London that chilly December evening in 1969 would've thought nothing of a rather nervous looking man in the crowd. The man in question was a gentlemen by the name of Alan Peglar, who in railway terms was famed for being...

Let's say that Justinian's conquests were much more successful and the Roman empire was able to hold on to the pictured territories permanently. How powerful would this Byzantium be on the world stage? What do you see being the major cities of this empire in the modern day? How would...

This is my first real Alternate History on this site. Please feel free to critique this, let me know what I could fix, and if you like this novel. POD: Napoleon and Tsar Alexander work together to defeat England in India and the British sue for Peace, and Russia is defeated, all in 1812...

Suppose a West African kingdom on developed seafaring technology capable of traversing the Maghreb and into Western Europe in the early 10th century AD. The ships in question resemble large trimarans with a large, long Carthaginian-style hull that has multiple oars and sails for propulsion. Due...

Let's say that the Romans conquered up to the northern tip of Scandinavia, as difficult as that is. Where would the dividing line between Roman-speaking Latin-speaking provinces and Greek-speaking provinces be?

Rome-wank seems to be hard-wired into history, at least according to quite a few on this discussion board. No one could fight like the Romans, no one could take losses like the Romans, no one could conquer and govern like the Romans, etc. While the concept of another country conquering and...
