ww2

In the unlikely event that the Soviets manage to push all the way to the Atlantic what would happen to Spain? They were a reactionary power with prominent fascists in their administration, which had supported the Axis and sent troops against the Soviets as ‘volunteers’. On the other hand the...

It was now dawn in the city of Munich, at around 4 in the morning. It had been hours since the night of November the eight when Hitler’s Nazi armored divisions surrounded a beer hall in downtown Munich in a series of steps to overthrow the Bavarian government and ulitmaly, march on Berlin like...

NOTE: No Communist USA or Communist Britain Basically how can you make communism significantly more successful before or during WW2 than in OTL and what is the highest number of countries that could become communist at around that time (excluding countries included in note), and how would a...

How could you make it that the Soviets beat the Nazi’s fast enough to liberate France in ww2

From what I see, there are around 2-3 timelines here that detail a foreigner that was influential in another nation's history being born in the United States during my short time lurking here in the last few days (most noticeably that Hitler timeline I keep seeing that I might read in full in a...

OTL, Luigi Sturzo is remembered as a hero of Europe, much like Churchill or, to a lesser extent Stalin. He was Prime Minister of Italy during WW2 and the lead up. Sturzo's government helped the Allies quite handily in the south against Turkey , who was aiming to reconquer the middle east and...

During World War II Germany faced great resistance in almost all occupied territories. From civil disobedience, sabotage and uprisings almost all of Europe presented resistance to the Nazis. Places like Yugoslavia or Slovakia became ungovernable due to partisan forces, cities like Warsaw, Prague...

So as far as I understand, China was barely holding on for the first half of the second Sino-Japanese War, and even in the second half they were not really pushing the japanese out, with operation Ichi-Go being a defeat for China and losing lots og territory. My question would be, what is the...

If you were stalin how would you go about your five year plans in a realistic way? Would you change anything or would you keep it how it was. And how would you prepare for the impending ww2 with those five year plans

What if during the Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement, the Abwher would invite some polish agents to witness it, undercover of course and see the secret agreement about the splitting of Poland. This might be seen as a sign of good will from Germany's side and turn the polish government against the...

Is there anyway to get a map like this by 1980? According to the site i found it on, most of eastern europe is soviet puppets, if it helps. I think for this to begin, we need the nazis to collapse a lot later than the 42 of otl if the soviets are to compete in the post war world...

We have had quite a few threads dealing with what various nations should/could have done to increase their Military potential in WW2, yet it seems that French are a somewhat forgotten, and really could do with a helping hand. So, what could be done to better prepare French Military, to ensure...

Hey guys, I recently had a discussions with a comrade from the Free German Youth about how the world would look like if the fascist powers had won WW2 (or the great patriotic war, as the soviets call it). This gave me the idea of asking you, people on this forum, of what you think. If the axis...

I recently posted a thread on wheater a japanese victory in WW2 (i.e. conquering East Asia and forcing the US to make peace on terms favourable to Japan) is really ASB. I was refuted on a number of points and I certainly learned a lot new. I increasingly started to wonder how Asia would look...

What if Stalin actually listened to his advisors and took reports of the Germans preparing for invasion seriously and green lighted preparations for defense?

Hey guys. I've long been interested in the pacific war, and the main question on my mind has ever since been: Did the japanese have a chance to win? I read a lot of threads on this site and the predominant opinion seems to be that a japanese victory in the pacific war (i.e. gaining dominance...

Today's History Channel documentary is quite interesting, something about an alternate history where Nazi Germany for somewhat reasons breaking their cooperation with China in the late 1930s and getting closer with the Empire of Japan instead, which was theorized to somehow: * Made Japan...

OTL, Imperial Japan used native officers in the colonies they occupied from the europeans- a large part of why E. Asia started moving to independence to begin with. But what if Japan placed Japanese administrators in the colonies? I have to imagine that decolonization is held off a short while...

So I was reading this article, and this section got me thinking: So let's assume that the uprising can somehow be organized a week sooner than it was in otl, kicking off in the last week of July, with Bagration still chugging along at full speed and the Germans frantically pulling back. Now...
