Hörnla's First Timeline

Alternate History was so calm recently. So just perhaps, I might finally, after much commenting, start an own timeline. Alas, so many ideas, barely time for one project...

1914 700 Years of Habsburg rule

Few people realize that the aptitude of a driver changed the course of World History.

1917 The War is won

A casual remark highly impresses the Crown Prince.

1930 That cursed office

Reichspräsident Paul von Hindenburg's death, aged 82, wasn't untimely, but shocked Germany. Would ever a Reichspräsident live through the seven years he got elected for?
1932 A Führer falling from the Sky I

Some people warned the leader of the up-and-coming NSDAP that, despite proving an effective campaign-gimmick, flying was a new technology which was not without its risks.

1936 ...something has to be done

With little entourage, in a small car, Bundeskanzler Kurt Schuschnigg crosses the border to meet a leader who is not exactly a friend of Austria. But it is not Adolf Hitler.

1940 Waiting for Sedan

The German crossing of the Maas fails, Sichelschnitt results in a huge tank-jam in the Ardennes. And then?

1943 A Führer falling from the Sky II

March 13th: the bomb that didn't fail

1944 A necessary River
With high priority, the Allies clear the coasts of the Schelde estuary.

1945 Uncle Joe's Trap

Nobody in his right mind would agree to a partition of Germany which includes a separate partition of the capital which is isolated within the sector of an unreliable ally.

1969 Rudi lives

What if Josef Bachmann decides to shoot from further away and doesn't hit Dutschke's head, so he remains more active and - most of all - doesn't die untimely in 1979, aged 39.

1985 Who is Gorby?

Michail Gorbatschow remains an obsucre second tier member of the Politbureau. The Cold War continues... for how long?

2000 No 9/11

The unspectacular arrest of a gang of wannabe terrorists with possible links to the Al-Quaeda-network made no headlines.

2005 Schröder goes for it


Instead of risking early elections, Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder decides to ride the storm out and tries to stay in office until the regular date in Autumn 2006.



P.S. Please do not expect results soon. But I'd like to know what you would like to read.

Hörnla's first timeline - this time with poll

Well, I for one would follow it. Your comments in my thread have been very helpful. You seem to be versed in German history. Why not trying a timeline on Weimar Germany continuing on, without Hitler or Nazi ever coming to power?
 
I guess you're planning a post-1900 TL then? And given your knowledge about German history, the standard approach would be a "Germany wins WWx"-scenario. Naturally, that's been done so many times. What I'd be really interested about is what would happen if there were no world wars in the 19th century and indeed Germany did not start a single war since 1900.
 
Oh Dear, please get an admin to repair this.
I managed to create a poll with my ideas by now. I will answer you in the new and improved thread.
