The challenge should you choose to accept it is to make the East German state survive as a sovereign state keeping it's territorial integrity. It is ASB that the communist government would survive so what I am asking in the challenge is that East Germany can become a democracy, it can be a part...

Obviously this would need some major PoDs, but is it doable while also making the Union head towards federalization? I think to make it more likely for Russia to join, a few conditions would need to be met first. 1) making democracy survive in Russia 2) keeping it just poor enough to make it...

With a PoD of right after WW2 ended in 1945, how can we federalize/unify Europe the fastest? Please no meme answers like Soviet Union/France conquers all of Europe. Would making the Treaty of Rome be more far reaching -such as establishing a EU military (with the provision not to fight colonial...

What would an expanded and improved Warsaw pact or something like the Warsaw pact look like? And what would NATOs reaction be? ideas #1. Expand to places in and outside of Europe. #2.Expanded and improved Warsaw pact would have a more professional army navy and air force. #3.Expanded and...

Under the rule of Boris Yeltsin Russia was so weak that it was defeated the small region of chechenia despite itself being the largest country in the World and it so weak that he had to bring his military into the legislature to put down dissent. In this period Russia failed to stop accession of...

I was wondering what possible scenarios could have happend id Russia had ignored the air blockade in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania and attempted unauthorized overflights to fly in troops during the incident at Pristina airport in 1999?

What if Japan invented and used the Bomb on an American possession in the Pacific before the US could bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Let's say this happens after the Nazis surrender, so Japan drops the bomb between May and August 1945. Probably on Hawaii; I doubt Japan would have been able to get...

In this timeline, Cuba Invades Mexico in the Cuban Missile Crisis with the help of the USSR, which threatens the US and NATO to unify into the North Atlantic Republic and invades Finland, planting bombs there. The Soviets assassinate JFK in 1962, which triggers the 3rd World War. This was the...

I am fascinated by stories about nuclear warfare or WW3 that do not actually cause the apocalypse, or cause the a majority of the world to turn into Fallout, Wasteland, Atom RPG, or Mad Max, even despite nuclear strikes on massively populated cities, millions of deaths, and a total reset of...

I've been working on something new for a while and today I feel ready to post the first small piece of this TL. The topic is the outbreak of a Third World War in 1983, escalating into a full nuclear exchange between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Seven Days to the River Rhine: the Third World War...

What if NATO didn't just include the European Nations but Pacific, African and Asian countries (Japan, Australia and New Zealand) to form TOTO (Trans Oceanic Treaty Organization) or PATO (Pacific Atlantic Treaty Organization) to fight against the USSR? What would have to happen to and how...

Spain's accession to the North Atlantic Treaty was rather fraught. There was widespread discussion of Madrid joining since the late 1970s, and Adolfo Suarez's government had already declared it a priority. The change in leadership and Calvo Sotello's rise significantly changed the debate, from...

This will be a timeline I work on alongside another timeline, Deadlocked. I am not a buff on the Great Depression or WWII, so any corrections are greatly appreciated. The timeline will also be updated less frequently than Deadlocked for the same reason. One more notice, as you can tell by my...

Mildly inspired by: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/how-would-the-western-allies-without-soviet-treat-germany-alone.529066/#post-23190658 The question is really, how would 'Notzi' Germany work in Nato, or, realistically a Nato analogue given the necessary pods. Firstly, Now this...

So I’ve created this alternate map of West Asia for this purpose. In this alternative world, by 1992 and up to the present day, we are left with a ‘Christian arc' of independent states stretching from Ukraine to Goa. The rest of the world is exactly the same, albeit with a few countries losing a...

I want to start a timeline but I don’t know when to place it, I want it To either take place in the 60s or the 80s. Both have their pros and cons and both have their own vibe to them. Hopefully by listing the pros and cons of each that you can decide for me which decade for me to place my...

Was direct conflict possible between NATO and the Warsaw Pact nations without immediately resulting in a total nuclear war? If not, when did it become impossible to avoid? I postulate that past 1960, the two could never come into direct conflict without such a result.

What is the absolute most territory the western allies could've liberated in WWII? Were there any otl plans that had the possibility of a major western push? The only two countries I see as inevitably Soviet spoils are Poland due to it's unfortunate location and East Germany due to commitments...

This is from anannotation I read in a bbook about the Cold War. In 1964 the West German foreign office informed the leadership of the Bundeswehr,that there was the possibility to get 2 turkish division stationed in Germany, to strengthen the Forward Defense as part of the german...

To my knowledge, most of the war plans made by both main camps of the cold war were defensive (one notable exception being "7 Days to the Rhine"), and both sides believed that the "big one" would come from the other side launching a major offensive in Europe. The "Fulda Gap" is a good example of...
