war

This is something that I have been working on assiduously since the last two months. This is my second most serious project after 'When it rains, it pours! A Frederick the sixth ISOT!' The concept is what would happen if the Bangladesh Liberation war were to occur 14 years later on than OTL...

Who was the worst general after 1900? I'm thinking Westmoreland. Lost a war (The Vietnam War) that he had tons of advantages in (especially technological and financial). Any generals worse than Westmoreland?

Could the above weapon good clothing and Indian Air Force have made a major difference in the outcome of that war? Indian forces in OTL were handicapped by the lack of modern firearms in some case using World War 1 era rifles whereas the Chinese had ak-47, Indian soldiers wore sweaters and had...

I’m usually a serial lurker on this forum, but quarantine boredom has led me to actually finally write a timeline. Most of this will focus on after 1900, the POD is just in 1889 (if this needs to be moved forum I happily can). If anyone does read this, please do give me tips on things I can...

1st PoD:Maria Leopoldina of Austria never dies and Replace its Husband(Pedro I) as Regent Empress of Brazil,so no Craps like Republican Coup(due to her Reform of the Brazilian Army into a Prussian Like One and of the Navy into a British like One due to the European Help) and the Praniti...

So this alternate history TL is going to be fairly short but I just wanted to see if it could be explored and how plausible you guys think it actually could be. Before we discuss the point of divergence (it isn't the battle of vienna, the Ottomans still lose this as they did in OT), and the...

What if, in 1715, the Jacobite Uprising in OTL, was more wide spread, and harder to deal with, which leads to countries taking sides, leading to a “War of English Succession”? The allies who support the Jacobites are: France, Sweden, Spain, and various Caribbean Pirates/Privateers. The allies...

So what if in 1946 all of the countries that have colonies decided that instead of eventually losing them they offer them full citizenship and their fair share of the pie? Which colonies would jump at this opportunity? Which ones would avoid the poison Pill? What does this do to the Postwar...

Alfred Peter Friedrich von Tirpitz What's the point of having a navy if you never use it? Those words were in my opinion what led to the great war, 12 words that showed that the Kaiser simply did not understand anything about war. The following ones were, "This will all be over by Christmas."...

The year is 1590, decisive Ottoman and Uzbek military victories against the Safavid Empire, coupled with internal political problems put the Safavids on the verge of collapse. In OT, the Treaty of Constantinople in 1590 granted all land West of the Zagros Mountains and Caspain Sea to the Ottoman...

(A bit ASB, and ignoring a lot of butterflies and events at that time, just mostly a compare two empires) What if most of Italy was unified, between 14th Century-17th Century? How would the combined armies of Italians, face off against the Ottoman Empire? Venice is still independent, but...

This will be the last thread that I create currently with my ongoing story-line's. This is something that I have been laying a lot of groundwork for. Basically, most of what I have read indicates that Field Marshal Douglas Haig handled the Somme offensive very badly, to put it in the least...

Start a Civil War between the Right and Left just after the 1974 general elections. *Either side can win *Very little foreign intervention

So in our timeline, as cited on Wikipedia, Hafez al-Assad was nearly killed by the Muslim Brotherhood at a diplomatic function, so close that he narrowly escaped waiting for a diplomatic function. This is during the time of the Islamist Uprising in Syria (the precursor to the Syrian Civil War)...

Okay, so I've been slogging through some overly brief run-downs on extremely complicated South African history and more specifically the history of the Afrikaners/Boers for reasons that elude even me. Mostly brief skims of Wikipedia articles, if we're being honest. Anyways, the thing I want to...

What might've happened had Napoleon decided against invading Russia in 1812?

I recently came across an article, detailing the political windfall that took place between the United States of American, and the then Kingdom of Italy following the lynchings of Italian immigrants in New Orleans in March, 1891. Despite a removal of both countries' diplomatic corps and...

Now I know what most of you are thinking. You've probably seen this scenario/POD dozens of times on this forum. But the reason why I think it deserves a better assessment is that most of the time the answers to this generally misunderstand the aims and state which the Ottoman Empire was in...

What if Petain, in a Mussolini-esque move, declares war on the UK following operation catapult, believing that Britain is going to be invaded by Germany shortly anyway and that the new regime will have more legitimacy/prestige with the citizens if it has a one or two military victories under its...

Simply put, a version of the Second World War where Iberia is more heavily involved than Franco simply supporting the USSR invasion.
