  1. Weimar Expansion?

    OK, I see what you say but if things were different, a power struggle in the upper echelons of the Supreme Soviet - Trotsky v Stalin f.e. - delays the invasion of Poland for a few years..?

  2. Weimar Expansion?

    Having read this thread, and being very interested in it, I am wondering how nobody seems to mention the possibility of a German-Polish anti-Communist bloc forming? If Russia goes Soviet (USSR, RSFSR whatever) and Lenin comes to power, wouldn't Moscow try their drive on Warsaw as they did in...

  3. Britain sits out ww1

    One important thing to remember is that it was Germany's violation of Belgium's neutrality that brought Britain into the war. The Entente did not have any direct references to military action in it. If Germany avoid Belguim or managed to generate an 'invitation' to pass through, then Britain...

  4. If Germany Wins WWI

    I can only assume so. If Germnay had been suffering towards the end of the war and a brilliant last minute thrust had brought the peace, there might be sufficient impitus for reform in the victorius Germany. Of course, that would effect what Germany could take from the post-war settlement. Say...

  5. If Germany Wins WWI

    The point raised above is a good one, but I tend to lean to the side saying that Britain would strengthen its' alliance with Japan. The benefit of existing links and the stigma of 'turning your back' on an existing ally without a chrushing defeat would forestall any probability of a direct UK/US...

  6. If Germany Wins WWI

    The idea of Germany being the dominant power in Africa is a difficult one to answer. Would Germany receive all of France's colonial possessions? If not, which ones - just those bordering her own or the more financially viable ones? (Germany's colonies on the whole were the parts of Africa no-one...

  7. Clemenceau Killed by Anarchist

    In the shortest possible answer: no WWII. In more detail: Clemanceau was the leader of the 'hard-line' element of the French party at Versailles, he wanted to crush Germany and make it impossible for it to start another war. Perversely his actions led almost directly to the Germans starting...

  8. If Germany Wins WWI

    As part of a DMZ, if I remember rightly. Thing is, if the Germans gained control of the Pas-de-Calais and the Belgian coast, the Admiralty in London would have started twitching. Assuming that Britain had stayed out to facilitate a German victory, then the placement of a larger continental...

  9. America looses in 1812

    The War of 1812 was a defeat for America in as much as they failed to gain their stated objectives and a victory for Britain in as much as they didn't loose anything of obvious value. The Cause of the Wo1812 was the British pratice of press-ganging American sailors on the assumption they were...

  10. I was just wondering...

    First off aplogies, it was President Polk not Jackson! :( Maximillian or someone of his ilk would have made that difficult but he was only placed on the throne in 1864 by the French (he was an unemployed Habsburg). The Americans with half of OTL Mexico under their sway would have almost...

  11. If Germany Wins WWI

    I was reading a book on the diplomatic failures that led to WWI (Thirteen Days) and that states quite clearly that almost right up to the outbreak of war Belgian public opinion was pro-German. (Long Flemmish memories and the still lingering fear of the Grand Armee one presumes!) The wording of...

  12. I was just wondering...

    That's exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of. If the Mexican terriories were taken as 'punishment' for the killing of the US ambassador and a means to teach Mexico a lesson, then the US government would be harsh in their treatment of the Mexicans, no? After all this is the same military...

  13. I was just wondering...

    That was the point of me posting this ATL, to see if anyone could pick holes in it! I was suggesting the extra manpower provided by the population of the former Mexican Estadoes tilting the balance in the favour of the CSA in the essentially limited front that the Civil War was fought. The men...

  14. I was just wondering...

    Would it be possible for an ATL where: The CSA is independant, Germany and Britain are allied against France, There is no WWI and Communism is only the preserve of Asia? I was thinking something along the lines of the US-Mexican war leaves the US with northern Mexico (their diplomat (Trist?)...

  15. What if King George II had reorgenies British North America

    What I don't get... ... is why this POD keeps on coming up again and again. Nowhere else in the Empire ever had seats in the Houses of Parliment (at least I don't think so, correct me if I'm wrong, please!) so it's all really a non-starter. A more likely POD would be if a delegation from...
