    AHC/WI England and Germany swapped groups at the 2002 FIFA World Cup

    Well then, been thinking about this for a wee while regarding the 2002 World Cup. It involves the seeding of the seeding of two teams being England and Germany who were ranked 12th and 11th in the rankings at the time however for those who remember how both teams were going into this tournament...
  2. What if Bismarck had the help of the Royal Navy?

    So I already have an idea for this and had started to write it but I still have I road block. So we'll some of you would think to make Britain fascist, I actually going to make Germany democratic and part of the Allies. But this leave me with a couple big problems. How do I get plan Z in...

    What would a German Colonial Empire in the New World actually look?

    I got into a pretty lengthy debate on the AH Discord about how Germany could never become a colonial power of any sort even if it became one country (IE a centralized state in the same vein as France) for things like France, Spain, and Britain being the greatest and most powerful at this and how...
  4. The East Berlin Series by Max Hertzberg

    I just finished the first instalment, Stealing the Future (there was a previous thread on that one in particular by @politicalnomad from 2017, but I didn't want to necro), and I'm already hungry for more. I'll just quote politicalnomad's take here before I offer my own perspective, which differs...

    What would be the politics of a Reunited Germany that was initially denied it's reunification?

    Let's say it's denied by a mix of UK, France & Italy, still the GDR is economically doomed and it collapses around 1993-1995, Germany defacto takes over as one. What would be the political consequences if the western powers (except the USA) denied a democratic germany the chance to legally...

    AHC: Franco-German Dual Monarchy

    With a POD sometime after the Congress of Vienna, how could you realistically get France and Germany to unite and share crowns in a way similar to Austria-Hungary? How would the balance of power in Europe and the world shift under this scheme, assuming this union encompasses at least the...

    Could the Netherlands get German territories in 1815?

    Was it possible for the Netherlands to get German territories in 1815 during the Congress of Vienna? Originally, the Dutch king William I called for the addition of the Rhineland to his kingdom too, but I also remember a version in which the Netherlands gets East Frisia and Cleves and has to...

    WI: France got the Saarland after WW1?

    France, in my opinion, embodied "won the war, lost the peace" after ww1. Four years of destruction and death across their northeast in the deadliest (and most expensive) war to that point. Yet they only came away with a few minor colonies and a regained but also devastated Alsace-Lorraine...

    WI - Imperial France and Royal Germany

    So I've seen this asked a dozen or so times on this thread, but what if we had France be the HRE and Germany be the Royal state IOTL. Let's say, in the 843 Treaty of Verdun, Middle Francia is given Flanders and Switzerland but West Francia is given Burgundy and Provence. In the Partition of...

    DBWI: The US wins the War Between the States and remains united, but Prussia fails to bring the southern German states into the fold?

    How about we reverse the fates of Germany and America: What if the Union had decisively defeated Confederate forces at Antietam in September 1862 (maybe Order 191 gets lost or something), and eventually won the War Between the States, while Prussia failed to bring the South German States into...

    WI: The Netherlands joins Central Powers

    What if in an alternate timeline, The Netherlands joined the Central Powers during World War I, and the Central Powers managed to claim victory in the war. What would the Netherlands gain? Would they gain territories in Belgium or in Asia or Africa, or would they gain territories somewhere...
  12. New TL-discussion thread
    Threadmarks: Premises of the offered TL's

    Hi, I've been enjoying writing my TL on the ASB thread and have pretty much outlined how things are going to go up to the 2000s, therefore, I don't need to put as much research into it anymore and can focus on doing research for a new TL. I was then inspired by Rub37's similar thread to ask...
  13. Austro-Prussian War WI: France Joins Austria’s Side And Russia Joins Prussia’s Side

    In this scenario, when the Austro-Prussian War happens, France declares war on Prussia as an excuse to seize the Rhineland and to keep Germany divided whilst Russia declares war on Austria in order to seize Galicia, establish a friendly puppet government in Hungary, and overall pay back Austria...
  14. Semi-successful 1848 Revolutions

    So, I was just thinking about an alternate outcome for the 1848 Revolutions and I was wondering how plausible the scenario is, potential PoDs, and and how it might affect the future of Europe. The results of the Revolutions are: Constitutional monarchy, either Legitimist or Orleanist, in...

    What If America Entered WW1 By 1916?

    OTL, the US wasn't involved (offically) in ww1 until 1917, and our role was largely in keeping money and material flowing into France and Britain. But what if America got dragged in sooner, say by spring 1916? Wilson still wins in 1912 but finds a more aggressive Germany, who extends a far...

    Would Germany had betrayed Italy in a Post-Axis Victory?

    In WWII, Italy and Nazi German were allies along with Japan, to form their own New Roman Empire that would turn the Mediterranean into a Italian Lake, and annex half of Africa . However, as some of us have read about, the Nazis really didn’t have a high opinion on the Italians as a race, and the...
  17. AHC: France fails to take over Morocco

    What if the French failed to conquer Morocco and establish a protectorate there? What would be the consequences on the Maghreb and the Islamic world in general? Morocco was slowly modernizing from 1873, and was experiencing a succession crisis in the beginning of the 1900s. Map of Morocco in...

    WI Hitler makes peace by 1939 and turns his focus to the ‘Final Solution.' Would the West deem the Holocaust irrelevant and turn a blind eye?

    OTL: In March 1939, Lithuania proved to be the last territorial acquisition for Germany before World War II. Up to this stage, the United Kingdom and France followed a policy of appeasement, while Italy and Japan openly supported Germany. But instead of continuing his policy of expansion, what...
  19. Long term effects of the Franks failing on Germany

    Of course as this is completely different from our history it might be difficult, but does anyone have any unique ideas on what could happen in Germany if the Franks fail to conquer Gaul? Let's say Clovis fails to unite the Franks or something of that nature (not my area of expertise lol). Any...
  20. UK German peace in 1940

    What if Britain accepted Germany’s peace offer in 1940 and negotiations began for a final treaty to be signed. I think Germany would puppet the nations it conquered in Western Europe besides France. Alsace-Lorraine, Luxembourg and Eupen-Malmedy annexed by Germany. Possible return of...
