hi i'm new here, and i have been reading some of the older threads to get a good understanding of the website.
so i think i would like some help with forming a thread of my own.
I want it to be very different and unique, and to start out from before WW1 and continueing into 2008, can any one help me out? since here is my idea:

POD: WW1 starts, however the German General Staff realize that they cannot hope to attack both Russia and France at the same time, especially if Britain decides to become involved, acorrdingly a nonagression pact is signed between Russia and Germany, with Germany promising not to interfere against Austria Hungary, and Russia against France. so the War is more focused on France and the germans are able to take more territory before hunkering down in the trenches.

Stop#1: 1919 Germany is attacked by Russia after the collapse of Austria-Hungary, as well as the enterance of the US in the war, Germany surrenders after a few months and the division of Germany begins.

Stop #2: instead of promising Israel specifically to the Jews, and backstabbing the Arabs over the ME, Britain does 3 things: one it takes bavaria, making it a new jewish national home, when the germans argue, the britains offer continuation of the war, as well as giving the Rhineland and the saar to France, greatly weakening the German Economy. 2. France is more weakend by the war and does not partion the ME with Britain, instead 3 mandates are set up: Syria concering todays Syria, lebanon, and the sunni and kurdish parts of Iraq (they realise that making a country of such diverse groups would fail) Palestine, concerning modern day Israel, Palestine, Jordan.
and finally Arabia, after the war, the Wahabi leader Al Saud declares himself caliph, instead of the Hashemite sheik, the Britains are outraged, and a british trained army of arabs defeat Al Saud, and begins conquering the arabian penusula which is viewed as a backwater by the british, who let the sheik go on his wars. meanwhile in persia the shah gains the shia part of Iraq.

Stop# 3: Russia collapses from the war, 2 major factions fight for power: Whites and the Reds, in the end, an extreme "Nazi analogue" branch of the Whites takes control, they win and defeat the communists who flee to the divided germany. the Nazi russians (who from now on wil be called the iron guard) have the following platform:
the Economics - a more centralised form of the economy. as well as slave labour usage to expand the industries

the Nationalism - To serve the Rodina (motherland) is one's highest purpose in life, and it is an honor to sacrifice or lay down one's life for it. and that The Russian Empire is merely a New Rome

The Militarism - saying how they defeated both Germany and Austria-Hungary(forgetting their allies role in the war), Russia's great natural resources can be harvested and mined to support a growing military. Plus, the state's vast reserves of people are inherently useful.

The Racism - The Slavic Race have the God-given birthright to lead Europe and the world. Strong hate-campaigns against non-Orthodox peoples. All Slav people and nations should join together into one union with Mother Russia at the center. The Jews, Roma, and other minorities are to blame for all of Russia's failings and are fit only for servile labor and behavior. West Europeans such as the Germans or the Italians are barely above the Jews and Roma.

the Religion - The Russian Orthodox Church is the moral authority of the Rodina, with the Party guiding the aims of the Church of course. All citizens must swear an oath of fealty both to the Motherland and to the Orthodox Church.

Government - Extensive use of propaganda to popularize the government, the State, and its leader. Construction of a personality cult around the Party as a whole with the near-deification of the Party's current leader. Extensive use of secret police to maintain social submission and silence political dissent. The possible blending of fascism with autocracy, with the "Lord-Protector of Russia" the head of the Party, the Motherland, and de facto Patriach of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Stop #4: similar groups are set up in east and central europe, and grow quickly in popularity, becoming playmakers in the national politics. Germany now divided into Bavaria, and Prussia, with Prussia now under a Socialist Republic, and Bavaria as a Dominion of Great Britain.

Stop #5: with an abscense of Soviet Russia, Spain, Italy and France turn Communist, forming a Comitern Pact, Britain which is alarmed at this forms an alliance with the US.

Stop#6: Russia and Japan form and allience agreeing to divide up Chinas resources for its own, with Japan taking the coastline provinces and the oceanic territories, and Russia taking the hinterland.

Stop#7: Central & Eastern Europe is anexxed into Russia. ATL Winter War happens, with a far superior showing for Russia, Finland is conquered, and its people sent to the slave camps, with the inhabitents replaced with russians from overpopulated territories.

Stop#8: WW2, not sure yet what to put into it.

so all in all is it a decent thread or bit on the ASB side? in that case i'll ask the admin to move it to the ASB forum page to work on it
Stop#8:
