  1. TL-191 DBWI: What if the U.S. Had Re-annexed the Confederacy?

    On May 10th, 1945 President Dewey approved JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff policy) 1067 which directed the U.S. forces of occupation in the Confederate States to "...take no steps looking toward the economic rehabilitation of the Confederacy [nor steps] designed to maintain or strengthen the...

  2. How big can the German Navy get?

    For the sake of argument, let's say Imperial German foreign policy strives for a cordial relationship with Great Britain in order to prevent the British from allying with Germany's primary rivals on the continent - Russia and France. One way the Germans plan on doing this is by avoiding a naval...

  3. How much bigger can the Ghaznavids get?

    A couple of weeks ago, I discovered the Ghaznavids, a lesser-known Persian dynasty that ended up crumbling after being defeated by the Seljuks in 1058 and losing their western territories. But what if the Ghaznavids had defeated the Seljuks? How much further could they expand? I think it's...

  5. HOI3 Minister Traits for TL-191 Cabinet

    Just for shits and giggles, I decided to try and whip up a scenario for HOI3 that involves Featherston's Confederacy and the Empire of Mexico being ISOT'ed to OTL on June 6, 1941. Since I'm currently working on the Confederacy, I figured I'd try and get the opinions of some people who are more...

  6. A Fourth Branch of Islam With "Unique" Beliefs

    NOTE: While I am good with Arab and Middle Eastern history during the 20th and 21st century, my knowledge of the Islamic Golden Age is cursory at best (I'm working to change that, but it's a work in progress), so I figured I might as well try and ask this question here. :o I was reading a book...

  7. How to Make Yugoslavia Last

    I've seen a couple of these threads before, but I figured I might as well make a new thread instead of necroing an existing one. I am in the preliminary stages of writing a timeline about an alternate Cold War (which I also plan to use as the setting of a Nation Game :o), and one thing I wanted...

  8. DBWI: WI North Korea still existed?

    As we all know, the two Koreas were reunified shortly after Kim Il-Sung suffered a massive stroke in 1989. Knowing that the Soviet Union would be unable to supply them with aid necessary to support their faltering economy, Kim Pyong-il decided to pursue Korean reunification. While there were...

  9. Iran's Military without the Islamic Revolution

    WARNING: Long Post Earlier today, I decided to look up some info on the Imperial Iranian military and their plans for the future prior to the Islamic Revolution. It was an arms dealers wet dream, to put it lightly. By 1985, the Iranian military would have consisted of: 73 Chieftain Mk.3's...

  10. Iraq Without the Gulf War?

    Prior to the first Gulf War, Iraq was one of the most developed countries in the Middle East. Iraq's GDP Per Capita was $2304 in 1989, and its GDP was $38 Billion. Primary healthcare services reached about 97% of the Urban Population and 78% of the Rural Population, while literacy rates were as...

  11. WI - Israel Doesn't Seize the Golan Heights?

    While reading about the Six Day War on Wikipedia, I found this passage about the Golan Heights: On June 7 and 8, the Israeli leadership debated about whether the Golan Heights should be attacked as well; the attack on Syria was initially planned for June 8, but was postponed for 24 hours. At...

  12. AHC: Avoid the Lebanese Civil War

    At the moment, I'm trying to do research for a timeline I'm planning to write about Lebanon. The main idea behind it is that the Lebanese Civil War is averted and Lebanon becomes a much richer and more stable country. The only question now is - how do I avoid the Civil War? Since I'm unable to...

  13. No Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan?

    There are some people who say that the main reason the USSR collapsed was that they invaded Afghanistan. Of course, there were many other reasons that the USSR collapsed, but it got me thinking - what if the Soviet Union didn't invade Afghanistan? Perhaps the USSR could covertly support the...

  14. An Earlier Italian Social Republic?

    Earlier today, I was looking over GeekhisKhan's timeline Viva Balbo!, along with Norvea's timeline Giovinezza, when a thought popped into my head: Oct 24, 1929 - Umberto II is assassinated by Fernando de Rosa in Brussels. June 17, 1936 - Vittorio Emanuele III is killed after a grenade is...

  16. An Italian Regime of the Colonels?

    While browsing the Wikipedia entry on the infamous "Regime of the Colonels," I found an interesting little tidbit: At the time, the Italian far right was very impressed with the methods of Papadopoulos and his junta. In April 1968 Papadopoulos invited fifty Italian members of the far right...

  17. WI Sweden Invaded as Part of Operation Weserübung?

    While Germany invaded Denmark and Norway, the Wehrmacht left Sweden alone. Hitler's main excuse for invading Denmark and Norway was that the allies were going to invade them first. The British had even made plans to seize the Iron ore fields of Northern Sweden if the allies were to invade...
