world war 2

I’m working on a story where WWII is still going on in Europe and I am not sure what would have to happen for this to actually happen. Could you guys help me with this?

While World War II is discussed greatly here, the fact remains that an Axis victory is extremely, extremely difficult to achieve. The Allies had so much material advantage stacked in their favor that the odds of the Allies winning the war were likely around 90-95%. This stands in stark...

What would have happened to the Soviet Union had they not been able to retake Armenia AND Azerbaijan and consecutively WW2 and then the Cold War ?

1940 - La France continue la guerre, also known as the Fantasque Time Line, is probably one of the most ambitious alternate history projects ever created. The original work can be read (in French) at this address: https://www.1940lafrancecontinue.org/. It is also being translated by @Wings on...

I had the thought that Hokkaido was never heavily defended , so what if the US after retaking attu and kiska, built them up into naval bases? On one hand I can see the logistics problems, as well as the fact that this allows japan to keep its oil supply intact longer, but I think that's...

"They say the sun never sets on the British Empire. They will soon learn a lesson that Icarus knows all too well." -Tomoyuki Yamashita Buildup Following their successes in China, the IJA decided to temporarily rest and upsize their military rather than continue a rapid expansion. Military...

"Do you know how a Komodo Dragon hunts, gentlemen? They say the animal strikes the poor prey from its spot, and if it escapes the first attack the creature then trail it for days or weeks until the bacteria injected by the bite kills the animal. When I review our recent military history, I say...

Ok so before beginning this post. I mean no offense to Bose but neither do I support all of his views. I condemn both British Imperialism and Axis brutality and genocide. So why did Bose think taking the help of the Japanese was a good idea? SUBTOPIC1 We now know that Japan was upto 14 times...

Most Operation Downfall scenarios either have the U.S. invade from the south while the USSR invades Hokkaido even with the lack of sealift. My guess is Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other British/Commonwealth territories or Dominions such as the Raj, Malaya, and Rhodesia would...

Spoilers for this particular paragraph: After reading Paul Hyne's/The Red's Decisive Darkness, I can't help but shudder at the effects of such wholesale destruction that it has brought. Alongside the loss of Modern Japan as we knew it - at least when concerning ourselves with that specific...

Sorry if this has been done before, I haven’t been able to find anything with this situation, but is there a way America could enter the European front without without Germany declaring war on them after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor? What would be the effects of America being at war with Germany...

Exactly what it says on the tin. To specify, the First World War still happens, but the cutoff date for the challenge is 1918 before the Treaty of Versailles. How do you prevent another war from breaking out, and thus letting the War to end all wars live up to it's title?

Fairly straightforward: What would Ameican culture be like in an alternate America that never joined WW2. Let's go with two scenarios: 1. The Axis win and secure Europe and Asia, but the new world remains free. 2. Britain and the USSR still manage to defeat the Axis, but have a harder time.

Note: This scenario is nothing if not unrealistic, but the focus is on interest. Doesn't mean I'm not open to criticism, however. In this alternate timeline, in 1941, Japan never attacks Hong Kong, the Dutch East Indies, Papua New Guinea, or any foreign holdings in Asia and the Pacific (sans...

To begin, lets diverge slightly from the known timeline. In this story, Hitler abstains from making 3 vital errors. One, he ignored Churchill's bombing raid over Berlin, continuing to bomb ports and RAF bases. This ensures his invasion of Britain goes off without a hitch. Second, he never...

New Years Day, 1960. The world has now been through its first full decade of dominance by the wartime Axis Powers. In most of mainland Europe and a large amount of North America, Hitler's word is law. The Jews and Gypsies of Europe are all but exterminated, save for those who fled to Italian...

Lets say that in the aftermath of the Treaty of Munich, France accepted Italy's territorial demands. This, combined with the urging of his own commanders not to go to war, is enough to convince Mussolini to not enter the war on the side of Hitler, instead, he decides to go along with Franco and...

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...

Let's say that for whatever reason Hitler dies the exact day after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed and Goring takes over. With the invasion of Poland planned to occur a week later, what are the major implications of the fuhrer dying so suddenly? Would the invasion be delayed a month to...

OTL: In March 1939, Lithuania proved to be the last territorial acquisition for Germany before World War II. Up to this stage, the United Kingdom and France followed a policy of appeasement, while Italy and Japan openly supported Germany. But instead of continuing his policy of expansion, what...
