whatif

I am aware that the most obvious chance would be a continuation of the Soviet Union or a better economy in post-Soviet Ukraine and Russia. The first scenario being explored by Nixonhead in his story with only 2 Burans flying. However, I am more interested in any future the Buran (all 5 vehicles)...

The thread's title might seem confusing or, well, stupid, but after watching a few videos of people achieving a spaceflight first - sending a human into space ( beyond 100 km) - by utilizing an EE Lightning (KSP RO) I just couldn't get the idea out of my head and when I told one of my British...

What if this Gummy Bear Song: French Gummy Bear Song repeated multiple times like this: Irish Gummy Bear Song?

Would Italy have lost her territories gained during the war(like Savoy, Corsica, Cattaro, Dalmatia and Lubiana)? Would have Yugoslavia not being divided into East and West ? What else would have happened? Would have Kingdom of Syria exist today? What are your thoughts about it?

Just as the title says, this plays around with the idea that the son of Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou, Edward of Westminster (b. 1453), has Edward IV's personality whereas Richard, 3rd Duke of York and Cecily Neville's son, Edward, Earl of March/Edward IV (b. 1442), has Edward of Westminster's...

What would happen if Richard Nixon never resigned following the Watergate scandal? What would happen following his impeachment, or even beforehand? What would the long-term effects be, both domestically and globally? Would Nixon try to hold onto power for as long as he could?

Don’t know if the aircraft pictured here qualifies as "graphics", as this is my first post, but here it is. If your a moderator, you have my permission to move this thread to it’s appropriate place. Kawanisni J6K1 “Jinpu” (squall) interceptor aircraft Tachikawa Ki-74-IIa (a anti-shipping...

As at least one other person on these forums probably knows, Belarus and Russia had a big "Union State" thing going on some time ago (although it still is prominent). Along with that, Lukashenko was the only Deputy of the Belarusian Parliament to vote against independence. What if other members...

Overview Spartakus is an upcoming alternate history modification for the popular strategy game Hearts of Iron IV. It is set in a universe where multiple post-Great War communist revolutions in Europe succeed, most notably in Germany. The Great War was a time of death and suffering, but also set...

http://www.globeatwar.com/article/there-end-us-16th-armored-division%E2%80%99s-liberation-Plzen It seemed that ol' Gen "I Read Your Book!" Patton was quite set on taking the city of Prague right as the uprising there took place and before the Soviets came in. Understandably, the Allied high...

I'm kicking around the idea of a world that never had the Cold War happen after WWII ends (mainly with Stalin dead and replaced by a reformist fellow like Beria in spite of the odds and FDR living), and that many of the allied powers engage in a series of disarmament campaigns (yet still have a...

While reading up stuff about the situation in mainland China in 1945 and in 1950, they revealed that the Chinese communists had numerous chances for a stable relationship with the US even as the Cold War was looming yet that window of opportunity was shrinking since the rejection of their offer...

http://johngittings.tripod.com/id31.html I know there's already a thread about this but not about the effects of it in the long run; basically the premise is that Mao and his buddies get to visit Washington (or rather a representative of his group) to gain PR points from the USA and the West...

For my TL which will feature events set after a WWIII in the first half of the 1980's (that stayed mostly conventional mind you so the total nuclear exchange is off the table), one thing that needs to be addressed are the possible innovations and inventions that spawned from the conflict so they...

Inspired by this thread:https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/is-a-maoist-us-alliance-feasible.419177/ So with a POD no sooner than 1945, though it can either before or after WWII ends for all I care, how can you make the OTL Cold War less about the ideologies of Communism vs...

People often talk about what if the Korean War ended in a Southern victory (that basically reunifies the peninsula) or one where nukes get used on China but why not both? Granted this would have to take either the reluctance of Truman to accept the usage of nuclear weapons or his absence to...

Say if Nixon where to win the 1960 election through a variety of things (being able to avoid getting injured which harmed his appearances during the debates), how would his presidency in 1961 affect the world scene? Would the Bay of Pigs invasion get affected? What of the Berlin Crisis? What of...

Inspired by this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/ahc-have-2020s-2030s-level-technology-available-by-the-late-1980s.413867/. So with a POD no earlier than 1900, how can technology stay at a late 20th century level by the year 2030 (barring minor advances of course). Bonus...

The Germanic tribes/peoples in OTL had a very vague sense of unity that only really showed itself when a massive power like Rome showed itself. Even then it was very unstable. So, what if the Germanic tribes had a stronger sense of unity, similar to the Gallic tribes. The only thing I can think...
