I wonder if there is any way for A-H to survive as a dual monarchy after the defeat of the CP, especially Germany. Possible ATL I’ve considered: - Romania staying neutral - More sucessful Caporetto offensive knocking out Italy (white peace) in 1917 - Then separate peace with the entente in...

Let's say that Wilson can't be budged from neutrality and there's a massive mutiny in the French army by mid 1918. Britain and France negotiate with Germany and agree to the following terms: Germany's colonial empire is dismantled. Britain and France will not pay the Central Powers any war...

As a self-admitted Francophile I am always perturbed by the sort of French bashing present in alternate history scenarios as well as Germany wanks. However, today I want to ask how small and weak France could realistically get after losing WWI. France was also demographically stagnant during...

I have a new map project in mind where an event similar to the House Grey Memorandum leads to an end to WWI with a return to the status quo in the west (except for a chunk of Alsace-Lorraine being ceded to France) while Germany disarms the High Seas Fleet but keeps its gains from the treaty of...

From what I've been reading about WWI, the Ottomans and Young Turks weren't exactly keen on joining the war because they preferred to focus on improving the empire instead of wasting money and energy they didn't have into a war. It took a incident with one of their ships being led by a German...

At the time of the sinking, the Lusitania shocked the American public and was pivotal to make the opinion of the American people become more Pro-Entente than ever. So much so that it's argued the Unrestricted Submarine Warfare in 1915 was suspended following the sinking due to the fears the...

Hello everyone, perhaps I am a bit pedantic with the topic since most of my publications have revolved around that topic, but today I would like to see something deeper instead of the classic discussions about a victory of the central powers, about their possible peace or how the PCs could...

This is a map of a TL I'm currently invested in. It's about what if Russia won the Russo-Japanese War. In TTL, WW1 ends up starting over the creation of Albania during the First Balkan War. Red: Central Powers, Light Red: Likely to join the Central Powers, Lighter Red: Can possibly join the...

Hello everyone, I am not an expert on the subject so I would like to see more educated opinions on the situation but in any case, I am doing a TL on a late CP Victory (something like 1917-1918) and in order to add some more diversity and I wanted to explore other points of divergence, like the...

The assassination of Archduke Frank Ferdinand, heir to Austria-Hungary at the hands of the Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip was the spark that kicked off the most ruinous war to date. While many geopolitical factors were already in motion, and to some degree, unavoidable, to lead the great...

OTL the Austrian plan for a war against Russia and Serbia was to have one army defending against Serbia and 4 focus and attack against Russia. Even if this wasnt horribly botched like OTL and went perfectly it would still not have achieved much of significance. From 1908 the latest Austria...

Considering how much attention is directed towards the Ottoman Empire long decline in the face of European industrialization and supposed Ottoman stagnation, the fact that the Ottoman Empire made it to 1922 is quite astonishing. Had it not joined WWI, chances were the Europeans couldn't have...

I am currently writing an Alt History scenario. I wanted to know how long the German Pacific could last realistically, specifically past 1915. What changes would have to be made to OTL to cause this for this to realistically occur?

So let's say Lenin succeeds in convincing his government and Trotsky to agree to the initial terms of Brest-Litovsk because they're the best terms they're gonna get, instead of the opposing idea of stalling in the hopes a revolution will kick off in Germany. As a result, Russia only loses...

World War I alternate histories are very fun to read, although there are a lot simply looking at a Central Powers victory, a stronger victory for the allies, or a basic stalemate. But what are some unique endings that aren't one side victory or a stalemate. For example Germany winning on one...

As with all the other like threads, this one too is about Naval Optimizations, but this time for all three Axis navies, and working together in as much as this is possible. What I would like to do with this thread is have the initial discussions being limited to end of WWI to WNC/WNT time...

If we assume a late victory where a central-aligned Greece aids the Ottomans in Gallipoli but they suffer from British-backed Arab raids causing them instability in their Arabian territories, how can a Jewish state in the levant exist by the end of the century? I'm only able to think of two...

Ok folks, so this thread is for batting around ideas for making the Italians have more money for their war effort. This can either be by investing in making more money outright, or by saving money by cutting costs, mainly from their military/navy. My personal wish list would be for tourism...

Hey all, I'm a new lore writer and tester for the Hearts of Iron IV mod "Führerredux", which is an evolution of the base mod "Führerreich", a Double Blind 'What If the Entente won WWI from the perspective of Kaiserreich?' It also has some interesting differences from OTL, like the Turkish losing...

During the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI, the Syrian National Congress proclaimed Faisal (a member of the Hashemite dynasty) king of a Syria whose territory was supposed to encompass what is now Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Israel. This...
