world war 1

What if the Germans won the battle of the Marne, and the Schlieffen Plan continues? Would this mean an automatic Entente loss, or what? Comment below

Preface Finally I've decided to bring about, what I have so far of the ATL I'm working on for about the last 6 month. … at least, what has (for me) gained some 'finalized status' … yet … at least covering the first 2 hours of the ATL … supposed to cover 3 years + … at least … (I refrain from...

Let's say that due to some small unspecified (and unrelated) changes, Mussolini dies on the Isonzo front in 1917 (instead of only being wounded) and Italy is granted their fair share (including Dalmatia) at the end of the war. Would this be enough to steer Italy away from fascism? What would...

World War One, Europe's last shedding of its Medieval understanding, and the true beginning of the Information age. However, many things could have changed its course. A different cause of the war instead of Franz Ferdinand's assassination, say the Aegean Dispute between Greece and Turkey...

Assuming a period of normality, and not cheating and having an alternate World War, how would the decade of the 1910s have progressed had there not been a Great War? Included in that is the idea of the 1920s in this world, and subsequent history.

What if the First Moroccan Crisis led to World War 1 in 1905/1906? How would World War 1 starting earlier affect the events of the war? How would the less advanced technology make the war different? Would the war still descend into Trench Warfare? Would the Allied Powers still win? Would...

What if the Qing Dynasty survives a couple more years and postpones its collapse just long enough to enter World War 1? The Qing Dynasty enters the war on the side of the central powers to get revenge on Japan for the First Sino-Japanese War, as well as Britain for the unequal treaties in the...

This could have happened if Germany made the bad decision to continue unrestricted submarine warfare. Luckily for the Germans, the German government realized the negative repercussions of such a choice. As we all know, Germany won the war through a successful spring offensive after gaining...

If Germany had won a CP victory, would they be able to develop the atom bomb first? If so, how long would it take them to develop such a device? The late 20s, early 30s? If not, why would you think so? Do you think that Germany would be more than willing to use such a device or not?

Make it possible so that both sides are A: Too evenly matched and too convinced to destroy the other side B: Like a 1984 like war which never ends. C: Do whatever it takes. (Make a map if you want for fun ;))

The United States join the war against the Central Powers in 1915 in response to the sinking of the Lusitania. How does the war play out? What kind of casualties can be expected for all involved? The US being involved in the war earlier means important people will die. Who dies and how? Do other...

Italy does not back out of its alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary at the start of World War 1. How does the war play out?

Like two other threads I've posted on the subject (https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/alternate-world-war-1-french-and-germanic-changes.407740/, https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-britain-and-ottoman-empire-switch-places-in-wwi.409801/), this deals with unlikely...

What's the largest size the Central Powers bloc could plausibly have attained during the war? Assuming we're starting with Germany and Austria-Hungary, and we still have the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria join in as IOTL, who else could the CPs have plausibly convinced to get on side during the...

Say that the Germans have more success at Verdun or other areas on the Western Front and an earlier Russian Revolution. French morale is low and they are knocked out in 1917 or 1918. No Zimmerman telegram and the US doesn't join. Britain bows out quickly after that. What would the Ottomans get...

This thread is a mistake. I do not know how to delete it. Any Mods please delete it if you can.

This will be my attempt at a WWI which is even more destructive and bloody than OTL thanks to a bit of inspiration from Darker World War II 1914 The assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo, Bosnia by a Serb Nationalist would wreck havoc on the world to come...

...each. Respectively. I've seen plenty of posts about a later WWI and a later WWII, but never both, and since they seem to rather go hand in hand... What if a Great War is delayed until around 1924 and lasts until around 1928? What would spark such a war, what would it look like, how would...
