  1. German Reorganization Proposals - 1871 to Present Day
    Threadmarks: US Maps of Occupation Zones, Proposed Länder, and Territorial Claims After WW2 - Truman Library

    Hey y'all! Since my posts on the reorganization of Germany in the "Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread" are quite popular and it's very fun to research, I decided to spin it off into its own thread. This allows me to do the following: 1) Make multiple posts in a row without it...

  2. Churchill's Europe - Abandoned
    Threadmarks: Introduction & Post-War Germany Overview

    Introduction: This is a project I began planning a few days ago. It's still in its early stages, though for the record it is partially going to be inspired by Winston Churchill's designs for Europe in the aftermath of the Second World War. It's not going to be a perfect recreation of his plans...

  3. WI: Syracuse as Byzantine capital in the 660s

    I'm currently reading a book titled "The Formation of Christendom" by Judith Herrin and in it she describes how in the 660s (East) Roman Emperor Constans II, father of Constantine IV, chose Syracuse as his imperial residence and even considered making it the formal capital of the Empire (pp...

  4. WI: Israel does not withdraw fully from Sinai

    Is it possible that Israel does not fully withdraw from Sinai, maybe even involving the permanent annexation of parts of it? IOTL Israel of course withdrew from the peninsula in the early 1980s. Here are two maps which might be helpful, the first one showing the stages of Israel's evacuation...

  5. TLIAW: Politikerwanderung - A Very German TLIAW

    Politikerwanderung - A Very German Timeline in a Week by Nils "Iserlohn" Nicolai It took you a while to jump onto this bandwagon, huh? Less than three years, buddy. Anyways, I got this idea a few days ago and really wanted to get it on paper. Paper... Bloody troglodyte. So what exactly do...

  6. WI: Spain only loses Luzon in the 1890s

    After reading up a bit on the Spanish East Indies, as well as early Filipino nationalism, I've wondered... What if somehow, for instance via avoiding the Spanish-American War, Spain retains control over the Philippines? Or, more accurately, portions of the Philippines. Iloilo in Western Visayas...

  7. AHC: Second Polish Partition borders stick until 1900

    The Second Partition of Poland left a Polish rump state, controlling only a fraction of the vastness that was its original territory. Now I know that Poland was in dire straits, facing strong outside influences and a powerful nobility on the inside, but can the borders established during the...

  8. AHC: Transvaal OR Orange but not both

    IOTL two prominent Boer states were established in modern South Africa, the South African Republic (sometimes referred to as Transvaal, primarily by British sources) and the Orange Free State, established in 1852 and 1854 respectively. Now with a POD after 1840, how can one prevent one of these...

  9. Alternatives to post-Qing China?

    I've always wondered what the various realistic alternatives to the whole Yuan Shikai -> warlordism -> Chinese Civil War route which China took after the fall of the Qing. Now what sort of entities could replace the weak Manchurian dynasty? A Confucian quasi-theocracy under the Holy Duke of Yen...

  10. PC/AHC: US Invasion of Saudi Arabia after 9/11

    Since most high-ranking Al-Qaeda conducters are/were citizens of Saudi Arabia and several Saudi aristocrats are funding Islamist terrorist organizations... Is there any possibility of the USA conducting military operations in Saudi Arabia to eliminate Al-Qaeda influence within 5 years after...

  11. PC: Non-American Puerto Rico before WW2

    This is pretty straight-forward: how likely is it for the United States to no longer control Puerto Rico before the year 1941 with a POD after 1902 (the end of the Philippine-American War), if at all. It doesn't matter who controls the island, as long as it isn't the United States. So be it...

  12. AHC: Dutch Withdrawal from the West Indies

    I've recently read a few (mostly German-language) sources which mentioned that the Dutch considered to withdraw from the Caribbean during the 1870s and 80s to focus more on the subjugation of the East Indies. So what could bring the Netherlands to finally ditch the islands (which weren't that...

  13. AHC: British Republic post-WW2

    With a POD after 15 August 1945, I'd like to know how one could get a British Republic. Massive bonus points if 1) that British Republic contains at least 3 of the 4 kingdoms, 2) the House of Windsor still exists, 3) you don't involve any nuclear wars for the POD and 4) the POD is after 1970...

  14. AHC: Return Annobón to Portugal

    Spanish Guinea, today known as Equatorial Guinea, always struck me as odd but personally the oddest thing about it is Annobón. That small island barely south of the equator is 1) culturally and geologically quite similar to nearby São Tomé and Principé and 2) according to Wikipedia Spain...

  15. PC: Colonial Restoration as Part of Appeasement

    After doing a bit of research about (opposition to) Neville Chamberlain, I've read that Sir Appeasement considered to restore some of its lost colonies back to Germany in order to calm down Berlin. Now I'd like to know how at least one of the German colonies could be "brought back into the...

  16. PC: Harsher punishment for Axis nations

    So after looking at a map of German enclaves, I asked myself: why wasn't that problem resolved post-WW2 as part of the punishments for the Axis? So how could one achieve a (relatively) harsher punishment for the Axis nations that involves them losing (relatively) more territory, specifically...

  17. US capital after CSA victory

    Okay guys, so I've been thinking (dangerous, I know) and I wanted to discuss a problem with you that I think a lot of CSA victory scenarios fail to bring up (at least in a satisfying way): the uselessness of Washington, D.C. as the US capital after the war. Now let's assume that the CSA wins...

  18. WI: Democratic President J. Edgar Hoover

    After a short discussion I had with Ashlee, she asked me to set up this rather basic 'What If?', namely how a Hoover presidency would look like. Since I'm no expert on him (and the 1960s/70s in general), I'd be interested to know what you guys think.

  19. AHC/WI: Both Vichy France and Free France post-WW2

    So I've been thinking about Vichy France and Free France lately, specifically because the US was relatively supportive of Vichy and became rather pissed at de Gaulle because he ordered a Free French takeover over Saint Pierre and Miquelon, where a pro-Vichy governor ruled over a pro-Free French...

  20. Zu Schutz und Trutz - Bismarck killed in 1866

    Richard L. Pratchett, German History #10: 1849 to 1873 (London, 1999) (…) The end of the condominion in Slesvig-Holstein with the Convention of Badgastein in 1865 was to some extent a victory for Bismarck and his policies. With Slesvig as well as Lauenburg under firm Prussian control Bismarck...
