world war 1

So let’s say Germany wins WW1 in 1916 because Italy joined the Central Powers a year earlier. What would the effects of this be on the Spanish Civil War? Would it still happen?

What would happen to South Africa if Germany won World War I? Would it have less British influence and more German or even Dutch influence, and become a sort of new Boer Republic or would the history of South Africa be totally similar as in OTL? How would the relations between SA and The...

What if The Netherlands joined the Central Powers? Let’s assume a naval incident or something else, and as a result, The Netherlands join the Central Powers. Let’s say that in this TL Germany plays their ‘old strategy’ so focuses on Russia first, but Britain still join the war. Last but not...

If The Netherlands manage to keep the Cape Colony in a 1815-POD, will World War I still happen?

What would happen to The Netherlands if Germany won WW1? Would they get more land and/or colonies (could also be on the long run), which role would they play in Europe and the world if this alternative WW1 occured? And how would Dutch politics ánd the Dutch colonial empire develop? Thoughts?

If somehow Kaiser Wilhelm II would have not reigned over Germany, would World War I still happen? I read somewhere that WW1 was not the result of Wilhelm II’s reign, but the result of the German army and Prussian elite having very much influence on there politics. So basically: a modern country...

I am searching for a POD in which The Netherlands stays a middle-great colonial empire, but WW1 still happen and ends in a German victory. Is this somehow possible, and if yes, how?

So basically this: If the Belgian Revolution never happened and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands stays alive, would WW1 still happen, or wouldn’t it because of the butterflies?

What if in an alternate timeline, The Netherlands joined the Central Powers during World War I, and the Central Powers managed to claim victory in the war. What would the Netherlands gain? Would they gain territories in Belgium or in Asia or Africa, or would they gain territories somewhere...

Could Czech and Slovak have been united under one state (regardless if kingdom or republic)?

I’m currently working on a Central Powers Victory scenario in WW1, in which the Central Powers focused on Russia first, defeated Russia in 1916 and after that focusing and defeating France. But my question is: in this scenario, what would have happened to Russia? Would the Russian Revolution...

What could the maximum population of 1914 borders Hungary could support?

The Schlieffen Plan, in fact the ‘Moltke Plan’ after 1905, became a failure during the first months of the First World War. In my opinion this is the responsibility of the German Chief of the General Staff, Helmuth von Moltke the Younger. But what if this went different. What if Moltke dies in...

Let's say that the Germans win at Verdun, resulting in the French launching suicidal counter-offensives as Falkenhayn planned, resulting in worse 1917 mutinies and the fall of Paris that same year. What happens with Britain? Does Britain go isolationist and focus on its remaining colonies, as...

Which parties would have fought each other if Germany had won the First World War? For that ‘If Germany won’, I have this scenario: The Germans continue the advance into France in august/september 1914. December 1914, France surrenders. Then the Germans move to Russia. They launch an...

In OTL, the Fashoda Incident was the climax of a centuries-long rivalry between France and Britain. The event saw France attempt to wrangle the Sudan from Britain and almost resulted in full-scale war between the two powers. The French eventually backed down and warmed up to Britain in the face...

An east-first strategy and a German defense in the west has been discussed before. Still, I like to discuss in more detail such an alternate battle of Lorraine. POD: At the outbreak of the First World War, instead of deployment plan "Aufmarsch II west", Germany implements the plan "Aufmarsch II...
