ww1

In 1916, Charles Evans Hughes narrowly defeated President Wilson by a margin of 267 to 264 in the electoral college. But what if Wilson had been re-elected?

So, there was a timeline awhile back where the USA was a Central Power in WW1, and I was wondering, how could they have become one? I heard that, when the war began, a large portion of the (mostly German and Irish-American) population in general supported the central powers while wealthy...

So I've read on this forum that that German army befor ww1 wasn't as big as it could have been, mostly over not wanting non jonkers become officers, and I have also read that the Schlieffen Plan was exicuted whith less troops then planed. So what if the Schlieffen Plan was executed as planed...

Supposition: The Great War is delayed. For some reason tensions aren't as high in 1914. Question: Can the war be delayed long enough such that technological advancement would rule out trench warfare as it occurred in OTL?

So I was listening to the revolutions podcast the other day and I was struck by how close the US and Mexico came to going to war during the pancho villa expedition, basicly both presidents don't want a war (Wilson because he thout the US was going to be dragged into WW1 and Carranza becuz he...

Theodore Roosevelt originally planned to sit out the 1912 election and wait for 1916. But he later changed his mind and unsuccessfully challenged President Taft in 1912. After being denied the Republican nomination, he ran on the Progressive ticket and came in second place to Woodrow Wilson...

With a POD no earlier than November 1st, 1918, find a feasible way to prevent or minimize post-war revanchism in both the Entente and Central Power nations. Bonus points if self-determination is carried out peacefully through an entity analogue to the League of Nations by 1930.

Reading Buttar's Collision of Empires, I learned Archduke Franz Ferdinand was to be the Commander-in-Chief of Austro-Hungarian forces. After his assassination, Conrad von Hötzendorf was left to take his place. Let's say the Archduchess Sophie is killed by Princip, but Franz Ferdinand is only...

I know this is ASB, but suppose certain scientists like Pierre Curie lived longer and didn't die early deaths. What would WW1 have been like if nukes had been invented? I think we can assume that it would be invented by either France or Germany, and that it would probably be too heavy to be...

What would Chang in ww1 if both the schlieffen plan han't been changed to the point that the Netherlands had been excluded in the adnital invasion and if Russia had tried to sink the Swedish fleet.

So, what do you think, how would have the 1916 and 1920 Summer Olympic Games looked like without the outbreak of the Great War? Who would have participated? Where would they be held? What results could be expected? Any kind of special consequences? I'm looking forward for your answers!

Hello everyone, this is my first timeline in the After 1900 section, and I'm still somewhat insecure about it all. I have a lot of ideas for this timeline, but this is part of history where, even though I have spent the last months reading up, others are way more knowledgeable than me, and...

I kinda been haveing this idea for a few weeks now and I am thinking about doing a fleshed out timeline. The CSA wins independents by 1865, but are force to deal with slaves revolts. 1890’s slavery is ended in the csa starting an civil war due to the ending of slavery. The war ends in with the...

Inspired by the fact that, at the time of WW1, the King of Britain, Kaiser of Germany, and Tsar of Russia were first cousins.

Okay, it has been established on this board that if the US of A did not join either side in WW1, then no-one would win. Firstly, let's have a look at how long it would last. Germany collapsed in early November 1918 with America, ittl they might make it to Easter 1919 but definitely not to June...

Let's say, that Germany doesn't have to reinforce the Eastern Front, as Austria-Hungary manages to withstand the Russians with minimal German presence. Serbia is not a problem either, while Italy doesn't join the war. Without the need of diverting forces elsewhere, what could be the German...

Your challenge, with a POD after August 1, 1914, is for Kaiser Wilhelm II to end up executed like how "Hanging the Kaiser" was a popular slogan in the Entente countries. It doesn't matter whether his execution is carried out by domestic revolutionaries (perhaps a more radical 1918 Revolution...

https://imgur.com/XUOGSHF ^ (map of the war during the crisis in question) Question is basically, given the british obligation to join Japan if at war with 2 powers, what are britain's options and what are the their pros and cons? Thanks again for your input A brief timeline of events so...

Since today's the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, I'm curious to what would've happened if the Russian Revolution doesn't happen at least during WWI and Russia still manages to hold on though with difficulty as it did in it's pre-1917 conditions. What would've happened for the coming years...

In honour of the centenary, I have decided to create this thread. IOTL, Gallipoli was an absolute disaster. ANZAC Cove was an awful place to land, likewise with Cape Helles. A successful strategy would be too land troops first instead of trying to sail up the Dardanelles. It would be hard, but...
