  1. PLC Survives as a Great Power TL

    So I am considering working on a PLC timeline which has it surviving as a great power into the modern age. I'm thinking generally of a PoD between 1618 and 1721. I just thought I would post this thread for suggestions and discussion. Right now what I'm currently mulling over is the deluge...

  4. Can Germany stay in the war past 1946 ( or can it withstand atomic attacks )

    It is generally assumed that regardless of German performance on the eastern front or other factors, that Germany is doomed to be wiped out by the USAAF atomic bombers come late 1945 / 1946. So I have a few questions: I. What was the destructive capacity of early atomic weapons compared to...

  5. 2nd Napoleonic War

    Napoleon III's desire to annex Belgium, the Rhineland etc is well known. What if he had, before the start of the Austro Prussian war exploited it and demanded Bismark give him a firm carte blache on Belgium and Luxembourg in exchange for his carte blache on Austria and been ready to move with...

  6. Central Victory WI: Revived Kingdom of ( Lombardy - ? ) Venetia

    In a Central powers victory where Italy surrenders Venice and maybe Lombardy to Austria, and assuming A-H doesn't blow up, ( a big assumption but assume atleast the Austrian half reforms into a more Federal structure and keeps ticking along, and the Hungarians continue to be a problem but a show...

  7. WI: No trail of tears

    With a PoD as late as possible which impacts as little of the rest of OTL as possible, prevent the trail of tears and keep the five civilized tribes on their lands. Now if you manage to do that, discuss the various butterflies that come about. If an OTL like civil war happens, how would the...

  9. WI: Nap Pardons the Duke of Enghien

    WI at the last moment Nap shows some mercy and locks up the Duke in a Fortress rather than executing him? Does he still have the political clout to take the crown, and how does this affect the formation of the third coalition?

  10. PC and WI: Napoleon in India

    Apparently Napoleon had continued grand ideas about invading India, either overland or by ship from Egypt. He tried to ally with Ottoman Turkey and Persia to this end. The British tried to ally with Afghanistan and Persia to defend from a theoretical French invasion. The invasion via ships from...

  11. Long term Development of Spanish America if Napoleon doesn't invade Spain

    Assuming Napoleon opts to replace 1 Bourbon with another instead of injecting his family into Spain, Portugal will fall and Napoleon likely wont be defeated without the Spanish Ulcer. So, assuming at some point the British sue for peace, how does Spanish South America develop over the 1800s in...

  12. WI: British give the Americans seats in Parliament

    What if during the crisis over tax powers in the early 1770s the British give the concession of letting the Americans into the parliament. Now population wise they would get about 20% of the parliament, assuming the British cut the American voting power in half to keep them from having too much...

  13. PC: Japan opens early in the Napoleonic era

    Would it have been possible for the Japanese to open during the Napoleonic wars? Perhaps the British in search of a new markets send a fleet and the Japanese cave? If it is possible for the Japanese to open up in 1808 vs 1868 what are the long term impacts for the colonial race in Asia...

  15. Challenge: Make a non ASB sealion happen and succeed

    With a PoD being after the nazis assume power, make a non ASB operation Sealion happen and succeed. Bonus points for it happening in 1940. The definition of "success" is the Germans at least establishing a presence in South England that can't be kicked out immediately or cut off by the RN. If...

  16. Challenge: Restore the house of Romanov after the the USSR forms

    With a PoD after the end of the civil war and before 1991, have the Romanovs return to power in Russia. Try to have this Russian Empire 2.0 keep at least the USSR's pre ww2 borders. Additionally it is preferable but not required that the restoration be the product of internal politics / conflict...

  18. 2nd Sino-Japanese war without ww2

    Assuming the historical Sino Japanese war happens in 1937, but WW2 is avoided in Europe atleast ( handwaves Hitler away ), how does the Sino Japanese war play out? Do the Chinese and Japanese just go on killing eachother for 10 - 20 years? If yes to the above how much worse do the losses look...

  19. Sherman: mass produced cheap spam weapon OR average cost PoS

    I've seen the Sherman quoted as costing 46-50k USD and taking about 48,000 manhours of labor, and the Panther as 130k RM / 52k USD and 55,000 manhours.

  20. WI: French press Saar Offensive

    Many times I hear people say "If only the French attacked in the west! Surely Poland would have been saved and Hitler defeated!" But how realistic is this interpretation given the extremely built up status of the west wall fortifications or the fact Poland was toast only a week in or so in when...
