  1. althist short stories

    What's everyone's thoughts on the Peter Tsouras series of althist anthologies?

  2. AHC/WI: France more involved in Spanish Civil War

    The French government was sympathetic to Spain's Republican government, at least initially, but backed off full support. What do you think would have happened if France had supported the Republicans more aggressively?

  3. Turtledove althists

    I was curious, are Turtledove's alternate history stories considered ASB even compared to a lot of other althists?

  4. Innovative WW2 ideas

    The other day I read about this ASW weapon and was wondering how effective it would have been against some of the more innovative Axis submarines, such as the Electroboot or Japan's 201 class subs.

  5. Japanese subs, big and small

    One of the most noteworthy Japanese subs of World War II was the I-400 class designed to double as an aircraft carrier. At the other end were "midget subs" used for harbor penetration and which were carried on larger subs. Could the I-400 have been used to carry the midget subs in addition to...

  6. AHC/WI: Britain stays out of WW1

    I've read in Wikipedia that the United Kingdom wasn't under obligation to enter the new war between Germany and France. Do people here think it could have stayed out, and if so how does this change things?

  7. Best time for Germany to act

    I've read different accounts of when the best time for Germany to launch WW2 was. Some accounts suggested Germany's military wouldn't be ready till 1942-5, others suggest the allies were more vulnerable in the 1938-1940 window.

  8. A "law of empires"?

    In my study of history there seems to be a "law of empires" which basically states that the faster an empire is built up the faster it comes tumbling down. Two examples of the latter are the huge British gains in the French and Indian War of 1756 to 1763--which they lost in less than a...

  9. Was Goehring an "addictive personality"?

    Did Hermann Goering have what might be considered an "addictive personality"? The reason I'm asking is from an AH viewpoint if he hadn't been injured at the Munich Beer Hall putsch would he have still likely become a drug addict, or alternately an alcoholic? I already know he was pretty much a...

  10. WI: July 20 plot successful

    Assuming the plot to assassinate Hitler had been successful, who would have taken his place, and how would it have affected the outcome of the war?

  11. WI: Goering not a drug addict?

    Just as the title says. Maybe he wasn't injured in the Munich putsch and so didn't start on morphine, maybe per one of my earlier threads there was no Hitler and he joined the DNVP instead. How do you think he would play out in German politics?

  12. Konpeki no Kantai

    I've read of a manga of the above title, in which among other things the British government evacuates to Inverness following a German invasion, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konpeki_no_Kantai Without delving excessively into the Unmentionable Sea Mammal, were there plans to evacuate to...

  13. WI:Soviets overrun Korea 1941

    Say Japan launches a strike North at the same time as Barbarossa is in full swing, and it backfires when the Soviets overrun Manchuria and Korea in an earlier August Storm. What's Japan's response? I'm assuming the Soviets pull out after decimating the Kwantung Army so they can fight in Europe...

  14. AHC/WI: Hindenburg declares martial law?

    IOTL Hindenburg threatened to declare martial law and have the army rule Germany if Hitler wasn't able to rein in the storm troopers. Say Hitler (or whoever becomes chancellor ITTL) fails to deliver and Hindenburg makes good on his threat. What happens when Hindenburg dies a few weeks or...

  15. WI: No Hitler, who's Fuehrer?

    The other day I read about a poll that asked would people kill infant Hitler in order to prevent WW2. I'm not convinced the deed would have the desired consequence, and I was wondering who would most likely lead Nazi Germany. I've listed people I could think of off the bat, feel free to mention...

  16. Who would be a Soviet Petain?

    Assuming the war goes badly for the Soviet Union, who would be most likely to agree to a humiliating settlement ala Vichy France?

  17. Question about the Hitler bomb plot

    It's my understanding that the plot to kill Hitler didn't really get under way until Germany was losing the war, and in fact the bomb attempt took place after D-day. If D-day had failed, would there still have been such an attempt on his life?

  18. WI: Korean War fought between China and Japan

    Thought I'd outline a possible Korean War between Communist China and Imperial Japan. The background I envision is that China went Communist a few years earlier and managed to overthrow the Japanese invaders (an earlier Soviet invasion of Manchuria could have facilitated this). After such a war...

  19. AHC/WI Matsuoka as Prime Minister

    What conditions or events do you think would lead to Matsuoka becoming Prime Minister instead of Foreign Minister? What would be the results?

  20. Japan's Fleet Faction

    This question is inspired partly by another thread I commented on, and partly something I've wondered about anyway. Was the IJN's "Fleet Faction" more eager for war with the U.S. than the Army was?
