I like alliteration. 
Alright, the idea here is this. On this site, we usually (modestly
) claim that most published AH is implausible and then cite reasons. Taking those discussions as a starting point, then, I'm going to post some 'classic' PODs used by published AH works, and I want posters to reply to any of these PODs they like with a short sketch of what they think a PLAUSIBLE outcome of that POD would be.
It is literally just the POD itself, e.g. the one for Turtledove is not 'the Lost Orders aren't and the CSA wins the Civil War', it's just 'the Lost Orders aren't' - go from there, and if you think that that's not enough to let the CSA win the Civil War, say so.
Alright - the PODs. (the published works they are from is in brackets)
1. Franklin D Roosevelt is assassinated in 1933 (The Man in the High Castle)
2. Adolf Hitler assassinated in 1924 (Command&Conquer: Red Alert)
3. The Lost Orders aren't lost by the CSA (Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory series)
4. The Spanish Armada successfully invades England (Ruled Britannia, Pavane and some others)
5. The Netherlands joins the American Revolutionary War two years earlier than OTL (Stirling's Draka series)
6. Napoleon wins the battle of Waterloo (various)
