Common and Overdone after 1900 What Ifs?

US politics threads

Any thread that tries to have the Germans do better in WW2 (why would anyone want to make the worst regime ever do better is really beyond me)

An extremely radically changed world is offered which might let us to appreciate the present a bit more?
 
When it comes to specific areas we get these:
USA
Europe(Western and central in general, southern, eastern and northen are not used as much)
Pacific islands
East Asia
Former Soviet union
The Middle east
South Asia
Middle and South Americas
Africa(Northern Africa more used than southern Africa)
The North and south poles

Isn't that, well, everywhere on earth besides Australia?:confused:

What if the British / Germans performed better at Jutland?

Could the Dardanelles Campaign have won the war for the Entente?

I'm guessing that's in descending order, with the regions at the top being 'overdone' and those at the bottom rarely getting a mention at all.
 
Call it the "guiltless Hugo Boss" time lines. Either a dead/more mild Hitler results in negotiates with the WAllies. This usually results in some vast anti-communist crusade that allows good tailoring, cool tanks, and sub-orbit capable flying wings for all as WAllies and the Nazis head off, hand and hand, to kill the Russians.

Hyperbole? Not as much as you'd think. And all in all, the usual need to un-Nazi the Nazis is probably a good thing, as their are threads on the Internet where people fetishize the cool kit and gear just as much without finding some tortured way to de-Nazify it.

This is not an overdone TL, of course, but I do tend to get annoyed at how little changes in one part of the world affect the rest (especially East Asia!) in many TLs. It seems common to have TLs where everything is different in Europe--say, a surviving Russian Empire, the Great Depression is completely avoided, etc-and yet, in East Asia China goes through the Warlord Era and Japan goes Militarist exactly on schedule, with no changes, as though completely independent of political and even economic developments in the rest of the world. Usually events in South America are also completely unchanged, and often no events in Africa are evem mentioned.
