I can kinda see this happening if Operation barbarossa happens a few months earlier. The Germans have more time before winter arrives so they have more of an advantage. So if they successfully took Stalingrad, what next?

Let's say the Dunkirk evacuation is a total failure. Very few (if any) British soldiers make it home and the rest are either captured or killed. What would have happened? Would Britain be knocked out of the war? Or would the brits fight on, but severely weakened? And if Britain Surrenders...

What if Charles I and Sixtus could plan with the Entente for an Austrian White Peace? Would Austria become Neutral or invade Germany? How would this affect the relations between Vienna and berlin? How does this affect the future of Europe?

So, let's just say that John Kricfalusi gets outed as a lunatic sicko earlier in say, the mid-80s perhaps? And gets thrown into jail for it. Or more simply, never born in the first place, with either one of these scenarios resulting in The Ren & Stimpy Show never getting made. Now take this into...

So, what if Sega of America never approached DiC to make a Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon for Saturday mornings, which would eventually split and evolve into Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, with the other half evolving into the cult favourite simply titled Sonic the Hedgehog (or retrospectively...

One scenario that fascinates me is what if the Romans never rose to power because the Etruscan League beat them during the Roman–Etruscan Wars, which have absolutely huge butterflies regarding world history. I ask here if had they beaten/absorbed Rome, would the Etruscan League have expanded...

Fleischer Studios, founded by the visionary brothers Max Fleischer and Dave Fleischer in the early 20th century, reimagines animation through a groundbreaking fusion of mechanical engineering and artistic innovation. Renowned for their unique approach, the studio pioneers a new era in animation...

To expand on the premise of this thread a bit more, it basically boils down to: What if the Centurion Mk.1 was introduced when the M26 Pershing was? (Production starting in in November 1944 and first deployed in January 1945) While the M26 Pershing was introduced when the Centurion was...

I have this tendency of finding obscure bits of information while looking through stuff that in most cases is not related to what I am searching for, this being the case, and post them here in the hope that it would start an interesting discussion. This is from 'The Soviet Biological Weapons...

I am not sure how to put it exactly into words but, from what I've read, and what has been discussed in the past on this forum, the rise of the US as a Great Power above the British Empire (and the French one) was pointed at the late involvement of the US in the Great War, while Britain had to...

I am not sure if this was asked before as I couldn't find any thread about it, but, what if there was no Saturn rocket family? Yes, I know the easy option, call it something else and done, no Saturn family of rockets. Which is not what I am looking for, I've seen some threads talking about no...

Hey everyone! I'm excited to make my first post here, feel free to provide any feedback or suggestions. What could have happened if Tunisia had officially established diplomatic ties with Israel back in 1965? On May 3, 1965, Tunisian President Bourguiba gave a speech in Jericho, saying, "As...

in 1936, Chiang Kai Shek was temporarily deposed as leader of the KMT in the Xi'an Incident before re-obtaining power and making an alliance with the CCP that would later prove fatal to him (at least, that's what I get from it from a basic once over). What if, in an alternate timeline, Shek died...

What if this Gummy Bear Song: French Gummy Bear Song repeated multiple times like this: Irish Gummy Bear Song?

In real history, the Alchon Hunas (not to be confused with their possible relatives who invaded the Roman Empire c. 440) were a Central Asian tribe who invaded India between around 480 (after a previous Huna incursion had been defeated c. 460 by Skandagupta, the last important ruler of the Gupta...

What if the troops of the Grenada People's Revolutionary Government and the Cuban presence in Grenada were considerably more determined and fanatical in their goals thus resulting in higher US causalities? Perhaps Hudson Austin and Fidel Castro felt considerably emotional and inspired to...

So I have been reading many threads about if Nicholas II died in 1891 and if his brother, George Alexandrovich, survived his illness and thus became Tsar after AIII in 1894. Would George have been able to save Russia from the revolution? I read that he was the most intelligent and outgoing of...

I've had this question for a couple of days already and the idea of a supersonic fighter (or interceptor more likely) seemed to stay with me, as such, I ended up searching the internet for various information on the subject: Limitations, theory, engines and so on... And thankfully I did find...

So, what if Sony never entered the console market with the PlayStation, or just didn't bother with the idea of a game console at all, thus leaving Nintendo to compete with only Sega in the console wars? How would that happen? How would a Nintendo vs. Sega console war play out without Sony? Would...
