After years of reading alternate historical discussions and stories on this board, I have decided to make my first post. I thank all of you for the marvellous historical insights and creativity. This scenario is rather specific, but lately, I have been reading about British foreign policy...

The first president of interwar Poland, Gabriel Narutowicz was elected with the help of the left and various minorities, much to the anger of the National Democracy and other right-wing movements. He was assassinated by one such right-winger in December 16 1922, after just five days in office...

Tl;dr: With an POD or a few between 600 AD and 1300 AD Establish English style parliamentary democracy in one major Eastern European power by 1700 via a similar gradual process. Looking back at the Middle Ages, the establishment of a nascent parliamentary democracy in Britain was an accident...

A long time ago someone commented on a map-art that I made that asked me why I hated Poland so much. Which stuck with me because I didn't have any strong feelings towards Poland but looking back to the gallery I made it did seem that Poland always get the short end of the stick. I chalked this...

I know during the Partitions of Poland the Wettin Elector of Saxony, King of the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania apparently wanted to get a Kingdom of Poland dynasticly tied to him and his offspring, without worrying of elections. This involved the Austrians, Prussians, and Russians all...

I find that media, whether it is Alt History, history, or any other form, always hyperfixates on the fall of the Berlin Wall as the end of the communism in Eastern Europe and the end of the Cold War. Why? Poland, starting in 1976, went through a wave of unrest. Strikes and anti-government...

Surprised that there isn't much discussion about this, at least none i can find. Given the depopulation of the southern Rus, would a different external power such as Poland or Muscovy conquer the region instead? or could a local kingdom such as Galicia–Volhynia fill the power vacuum in that...

Whenever I see people pondering what would've happened had the Jagiellonian Dynasty survived past Sigismund II Augustus it involves him fathering children. For all we know Siggie could've been infertile (he was married 3 times and had no children), although that is just a personal opinion. I've...

Apparently, Andrew, younger brother of Louis I of Hungary and Joanna of Naples had a son who died early. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Martel,_Duke_of_Calabria#Son_of_Joanna_I_of_Naples As I understand it, had he lived, he would have become the legal heir of not only Naples, but also of...

In 1605 Polish-Lithuanian (mostly Lithuanian tbh) army under hetman Chodkiewicz stomped Swedish army at Kircholm and Charles IX had to flee from the battleon a borrowed horse. So, the question is, what if, one way or another, he was intercepted by PLC cavalry and taken prisoner? What will...

Prelude, April 1913 Generaloberst von Moltke, Chief of the Great German General Staff, sits at his desk sipping a steaming mug of soothing herbal tea to calm his nerves. An intelligence officer has just brought him the message that France has approved an offensive war plan. Details are not...

August the Strong, Elector of Saxony payed enough bribes to get elected as king of Poland-Lithuania in 1697. This gave Saxony a chance eto become a European Power. But also brought many problems with it. In the end, the poorer Brandenburg-Prussia eclipsed Saxony and became a Great Power. Some...

What would have happened if the USSR had joined the allies in 1939? My Warsaw POD is in 1920, during the Soviet-Polish war, when the Russians manage to win in (the Polish victory was a miracle), Poland joins the USSR, the League of Nations allows the German annexation of the Gdansk corridor, the...

During the Congress of Vienna, the Polish-Saxon Crisis threatened to throw the great powers of Europe into war again. Prussia wanted to annex the Kingdom of Saxony and Russia wanted to annex the Kingdom of Poland. Austria opposed the annexations because they wanted to position themselves as the...

what if Polish Uprising in Prussia not Russia " Napoleon was never born". Toulon is not captured Coalition invades France from it failing Flanders Campaign due to diversion of troops. France is returns to pre war broders because high involvement of french dissidents in Coalition , Louis XVII is...

During WW2, that status of the Polish-Soviet border had been brought up on several occasions, the most prominent of these discussions was the Tehran Conference where the Curzon Line was, in some form, agreed upon by the "Big Three". A special map (contemporary version) developed during the...

Let's say that enough nobles in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth convert to Calvinism to the point where they're officially a protestant state and aid the anti-Habsburg uprisings in Hungary. What would their relationship be with each other and neighboring states? Would Hungary be an...

your challenge is to create a greater germany after the fall of soviet union with POD during German reunification. It must have German-speaking Switzerland, territories lost in world wars, Austria, Sudetenland, Tyrol

Were there plans for Galicia to be given to Poland in the event of a Central Powers victory? Need to know for a timeline of mine in the works.

The cutoff point in this timeline is in 1934 where the ONR Falanga party, which was the Nationalist party in Poland, had a lot more supporters than in our timeline. The far-right ideas the party proposed such as anti-semetic laws and class solidarity would become popular among the youth which...
