  1. Operation Barbaroski

    April/May, 1941: Stalin finally accepts what his advisors have been telling him: Hilter is going to launch a big offensive into the USSR as soon as the weather lets up. So he orders STAVKA to prepare a hasty plan to preempt Hitler and strike west instead. Timoshenko and staff respond with...

  2. WI the 'border states' remain neutral during the ACW

    In April of 1961, Ft Sumter had fallen. In OTL, Lincoln, in response, calls up an army of 75,000 troops to 'put down the rebellion'. He actually sent messages to every remaining state in the union, informing them of their 'quota' of troops to enlist. This enraged the four border states of...

  3. DBWI: What if the League of Nations was not successful?

    As we all know, The League of Nations (LN) is the dominant power in the world today. Although describing this peace-making body that contains all but three of the world's nations as a 'power' is a bit of a misnomer. First a bit of history, for those that assume that the 'Pax Universalis'...

  4. DBWI: The spread of Communism was not stopped in South Vietnam

    Imagine a world where, after the colonial French pulled out, the USA did not step in to halt Communism in its tracks. Perhaps, in this ATL, America DID still intervene, but not with enough troops and logistical support to smash the North Vietnamese. Assume that Ho Chi Minh AND General Giap...

  5. Double Blind: WI Germany declared war on USA after Pearl Harbour attack?

    It tends to get overlooked a lot today, but Gemany had signed a mutual assistance treaty with Japan that required the other to make a declaration of war (DOW) on a third nation if that third nation declared war on one of the signatories. I don't recall if a DOW was still required if Japan or...

  6. WI "Trinity" Nuclear Bomb test took place 1 month BEFORE the Yalta conference?

    In OTL, the first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945. What if the Manhatten Project has been fast-tracked just six months earlier than in OTL, or otherwise made more rapid progress, so that the Trinity test occurred on JANUARY 16, 1945. Now the 'big three' (Stalin, Rooseveldt, and...

  7. (Double-blind) Imagine if Nippon wins the Russo-Nippon war of 1905-06

    Imagine how the world we live in today would be different if the Empire of Japan (as Nippon was known in those days) somehow won a decisive victory over the First Russian Empire in 1905? I'm not sure how, just imagine that the Tsar was insane or something, but assume for the sake of this TL...

  8. Delayed 'Age of Flight' by 15 years

    What if the Wright Brother's (or whoever it would be by then) first flight had not occurred in 1904, but rather in 1919? Would this have had a decisive impact on WW1? If WWII were fought with aircraft technology circa 1924 (OTL), would there have been decisive changes?

  9. Yet another map challenge

    Although there's lots of semi-arbitrary 'butterfly' PODs here, there's one starting POD here

  10. What if . . . the Vikings had STAYED in Vinland (North America)

    In the 10/11th century of OTL, small groups of Vikings explored Greenland, Newfoundand, Nova Scotia, and perhaps New England. They established small colonies, but these were non-viable due to their small size and lack of support from home. WHAT IF they had established sustainable colonies...

  11. W I ... 'Dred Scott' reached opposite verdict?

    Regarding the infamous Dred Scott decision by the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS): Assume that 5 out of 9 justices actually declared all men to be people rather than property (regardless of race), and therefore slavery and its institutions to be null and void, in the 1850's, without having to fight...
