    WI: Jordan Sits Out the 1967/Six Days War and Keep the West Bank

    As stated in the title and obviously inspired by recent events. Originally King Hussein of Jordan was at the very least reluctant to join the war, and only did so thanks to having given command of his army to an Egyptian, General Riad, thanks to pressure by Nasser and to ensure a better...

    Nasser does not close the Straits in 67

    Low-level conflict had persisted on the Syrian border since 1949, the creation of three De-Militarized Zones of immense strategic and economic important had ironically provoked small-scale outbreaks of violence, in particular the DMZ along the Sea of Galilee proved to be of particular interest...
  3. AHC/WI: Six Day War Ends in a Stalemate/Ceasefire

    If the Six Day war between Israel and the Arab states ends in a stalemate/ceasefire where basically the whole conflict ends in a status quo ante bellum, what happens next? Is this even possible? Is this considered a victory for either Israel or the Arab states or both? How is Arab nationalism...

    Arab Federation in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War

    The Arab Federation was a union of the Hashemite kingdoms of Iraq and Jordan, which only lasted a few months as King Faisal II of Iraq was killed and the Iraqi monarchy abolished later the same year. If, like in Jordan, the King is able to remove disloyal elements from the army and regain some...

    WI: Arab victory in the Six Days' War (1967)?

What would they negotiate for? An enlarged and sovereign Palestine, perhaps in...

    1967: No preemptive strike

    What happens if Israel leaves the initiative to Egyptians, Syrians et al? Will they attack soon? Later? The next year? And how long is it going to last? Of course I'm assuming alternative sources of oil, but let's handwave that.
  8. An Alternate Israel Map

    A map of an alternate Israel. it is based on a plan that was actually considered after the six-day war, where the land in the southern west-bank (Judea) was annexed and the land in the northern west-bank (Samaria) became an independent state (heavily dependent on Israel). it's not set after the...
  9. AHC and WI: Prevent Rise of Baathists

    In 1963, there were coups in both Syria and Iraq, bringing the Ba'ath Party to power. What is the latest PoD that could have prevented both of these coups? Is it plausible that said movement does not come to power anywhere else, at least for another decade? And in any case, what would be the...
