With a POD set at 11 November 1918, create a five- or six-way Cold War featuring the United States of America, the British Empire, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, and either the Empire of Japan or the Republic/People's Republic (preferably the latter) of China, or both of the two latter...

The right-wing coup that kicked off the Spanish Civil War was actually a huge failure for the conspirators, at least at first. Although they took nearly all of the north, important cities like Oviedo, Seville and Córdoba, as well as the colonies (where their best military force, the Army of...

Let’s say that for whatever reason FDR keeps Wallace on the ticket in 1944, and kicks the bucket in 1945 just as IOTL. Henry Wallace becomes the 33rd President of the United States, just as the Second World War is coming to a close. How would a President Wallace have handled the end of WW2? How...

Let’s say that in the most plausible way possible, Nazi Germany manages to “win” the eastern front, either by consolidating the A-A line, the Soviets collapsing, or they simply get even more lucky than they did IOTL. Germany now rules the whole continent. How would the Western Allies respond...

What would the consequences have been if the above had happened? Say, Hitler lambasts the League of Nations for doing nothing when Manchuria gets invaded and goes on a rant about the Yellow Peril, while Tojo steps up Japan's acceptance of Jewish refugees and attempts to use them as propaganda...

With any POD after 1933, have a popular revolution overthrow the Nazi Regime. The revolution can be led by communists, social democrats, conservatives, or a broad popular front comprising all of them. What's important, is that the revolution has to be carried out by the German people itself...

So let's say that Operation Barbarossa is (miraculously) completely successful and the Soviets are pushed beyond the Urals. Let's also say that the Western Front drags into a stalemate and peace is made in 1945 or 1946. Let's again also say Hitler is in much better health then OTL and can be...

On December 18, 1940, Hitler issued Directive No. 21, ordering German forces to attack the USSR in Operation Barbarossa. In March 1941 it was later postponed on June 22, and we know what happened eventually. What if Hitler stuck to the original date of May 15? With the German forces having been...

There are a lot of threads about how could Germany do better in the eastern front, but the USSR initially suffered staggering losses and a couple millions of its troops got encircled, as well as losing large swathes of territory. How could the USSR do better since the start of Barbarossa...

Challenge here is with a POD of whatever you want, have a successful communist revolution in what was arguably the most violently anti-communist state that has ever existed, Nazi Germany. How could such an event happen?

How much damage could he cause to the Allied war effort? By this point the war was obviously lost for the Axis, but what would happen in this scenario?

You know, funny thing is that a certain German dictator was going to be an artist. Don't believe me? You can just look it up yourself. Doesn't matter. But that got me thinking, what if Adolf Hitler was accepted into art school? If that were the case, then how would it have affect World War I...

When you think about it, it is a miracle that the assassination of Adolf Hitler failed. Hitler was very close to the bomb, and had the bomb been just slightly closer to him, he would have been killed that day. What would've happened had Adolf Hitler been assassinated and Valkyrie is executed...

The opposite of the US concentrates on heavy tanks. Instead of building Tigers and Panthers, Germany concentrates on the cheaper and smaller TDs. No tanks or TDs bigger than a Panzer IV. I think it might help them late war when they are more on the defense than offense. There would be more...

It’s a common question on here to ask how you can make Nazi Germany/Imperial Japan/Fascist Italy/the Axis in general do better in WWII. It’s a natural question given the Axis winning World War II is a standard alternate history plot line and even if we know it is unlikely it’s interesting to...

For example in OTL, the Flensburg Government (essentially a remnant of Nazi leadership with the same laws and ideology, restricted to a small North German city near the Danish border) managed to survive until 5 June 1945, arguably a record time considering Hitler offed himself on 30 April 1945...

As well all know, the USSR, formerly Russia, was not too happy about losing all that territory in Eastern Europe. This led to their infamous alliance with Nazi Germany that only stayed together thanks to the fact both nations wanted that parts of Poland that belonged to them before 1914. Japan...

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen ------------------ "War is not as the people at home imagine it, with a hurrah and a roar; it is very serious, very grim." "Where der Kaiser failed, Der Führer succeeded. Where our brothers fell in battle, our sons rose in triumph." "Every pilot...

Let’s assume that the CSA manages to win the American Civil War. Develop a scenario where the Confederacy not only survives into the World War II era but manages to interact with Nazi Germany and even become allies. I know, I know. Nazi Germany probably won’t exist. But let’s assume it does for...

What if the German spies had accessed the blueprints of Bob Semple tanks in New Zealand and are impressed as how they could possibly consume less fuel since that's what Germany lacked during WW2 and as a result, the Germans then mass produce the tanks and use it for the invasion of the Soviet...
