ww2 aftermath

If Japan won WW2 (in this scenario I'm constructing for a tl, a victory is much more plausible as America has no territorial presence in the Pacific) and conquered territories from across Asia, how long would this empire last and how would it break apart, if it does? What's the international...

Nazi Germany and Nationalist China were the ideal allies. China had plenty of raw materials it was willing to sell for money, while Germany needed those exact resources for its war machine. Germany also promised not to interfere in Chinese politics while it sold weapons, equipment, and sent...

Foreword: This timeline and scenario will be based on both the Amazon TV Show and other elements from Fatherland, The New Order and other alternate histories. However, there will be no science fiction type material such as dimension flipping and alternate universes. This is just a unique crafted...

IOTL 400,000 japanese were removed from the Karafuto prefecture in Sakhalin after WW2. If for some reason, the war ends with the Soviets occupying Northern Japan in addition to Manchuria and North Korea, would they still relocate these people? Or would some of Sakhalin be included in a Soviet...

The Kennedy Trials (Then Senator John F Kennedy giving a speech on Germany infiltration of the United State at the National Press Club) After the loss of most of Europe, part of Central Africa and all of the Eastern Europe to the Nazis. Both the US and UK began to safeguard their nation from...

Would Hitler be known as a German Napoleon who had normal Anti Semitic views at the time? Would Neo-Nazism be stronger today?

Basically what the title says. A few key differences: WW1 was shorter than OTL, Russia is not communist, it's some kind of far right, Britain stayed out of WW1 because it was not allied with Russia. Now the Brits realized they messed up by letting Germany get big, and they join the Russians and...

Hello! This is gonna be my first alt hist in a while so please post critism. I'll try to release atleast one per month. The idea of this is just a what if the Germans didn't anger the Balts.

Caution: Many of you might find this proposed background sceniario to be borderline impossible. I understand and agree, but please, let's try focusing on the actual question and not the background. Background: During the German occupation of Austria, Hungary sends its army to occupy...

As stated in the title, this thread is about the premise that, following the end of WW2, Japan is to be divided just like Germany, into different zones occupied by the Allied powers (except that here, we substitute France with China). Thus, we would have: (1) American-occupied Japan, (2) Soviet...

Given that I already made a thread regarding a partition of a smaller DDR before, i'd now like to discuss what would be the effects of an opposite scenario. What if the Soviet army had been luckier in its drive to the west during WW2 (perhaps Horthy oversees a more successful defection of...

So, basically, assume that the Western Allies don't withdraw from the purple zone in the map following the end of WW2 (perhaps through increased fortunes in the later fight against the Germans). The Soviet occupation zone is considerably smaller. Therefore, Stalin, doubting the economic...

As it says on the tin, what are your thoughts on the most realistic treaties and also the harshest treaties (in a similar vain to other allied equivalents for Germany, morgatha plan, Roosevelt plan, churchel plan) I would like to focus on treaties with with a ww2 style unconditional surrender...

What would happen if the atomic bombs were ready to deploy in May? This would allow usage of the atomic bombs before the Soviets can move their troops to take on the Japanese. What effect would a slightly earlier end to ww2 have on the world?

I just a found an article (originally in Portuguese, auto-translated to English) detailing a US proposal for Brazil to participate in the occupation of Austria after WW2. How would this have affected Brazil's standing in the world? Could it have become a Latin American permanent member of the UN...

Instead of an arid land (also filled with hostile natives) hundreds of km from the great majority of holocaust survivors what if the allies or the USSR decided to to break germany a little more to create a country for the jews, actually forcing to pay the state that perpetrated the holocaust...

Your goal is to find a way for the Second World War to end with the Axis and the Allied Powers stalemated. Italy and/or Japan may or may not survive, but Nazi Germany needs to exit the war as a great power, alongside the United States, the British Empire, and the USSR/Soviet Union. Which would...

Lets say D-Day fails, or the soviets do better against the nazis on the eastern front, leading to the red army liberating all of europe. As we know from OTL, the soviets were able to greatly boost the popularity of communist parties in the liberated nations, leading to communist takeovers via...

Well I was thinking about different German centered TLs and the cliche stuff always focuses on Germany being able to fullfill its imperial ambitions, either in WW1 or WW2. (Don't get me wrong, there are some very well done TLs and some stuff that doesn't fall into this category.) In this...

I've seen some threads speculating on the effects of a potential execution of Hirohito. I thought about something a bit different after reading of Pu Yi's treatment. Emperor Pu Yi was the last Qing emperor. After WW2 he was held in Fushun War Criminals Management Center by the Communist...
