  1. DBWI: Smaller France?

    The idea of 'natural borders' is one that was only adopted on a widespread scale after the French Revolution, so what if France never kept its natural borders into the modern day, perhaps being reverted to its borders before the revolution? How would this affect the Industrial Revolution...

  2. AHC: White Victory in Russian Civil War

    Your challenge, should you dare to accept it, is to have the White forces come out victorious from the Russian Civil War. Your definition of victory can vary, but here's the challenging bit: your POD cannot be earlier than January 1st, 1920. Bonus points if there are no Soviet remnants after the...

  3. WI: Japan Divided into Occupation Zones

    During the Second World War, there had been plans between the allied powers to divide Japan into occupation zones administered by the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, the Republic of China, and the United States. After the war concluded, however, the original plan was modified so that there was...

  4. DBWI: Hitler occupies the Rhineland

    On March 7th, 1936, the Wehrmacht attempted to occupy the Rhineland but retreated upon the arrival of the French military. The POD is that the French government simply doesn't challenge it, which isn't very hard considering it was a very risky move OTL that some have speculated would have led to...

  5. DBWI: 1848 revolutions a total failure?

    The 1848 revolutions are among one of the biggest changes in the status quo during the 19th century, leading to the unification of Germany and Italy, as well as the independence of Hungary. My question is how the politics of the 19th century would have been affected if these revolutions all...

  6. DBWI: Clovis I didn't die during the Battle of Soissons

    The death of Clovis I during this pivotal battle ended up completely disintegrating the Frankish army and stopped their conquest of the Kingdom of Soissons dead in its tracks. What if, instead, Clovis had stayed alive to keep the battle going? How much would that have contributed?

  7. DBWI: Effects of a surviving Napoleon

    In 1809, a man by the name of Friedrich Staps stabbed Napoleon to death during a military parade in Schönbrunn. This led to Joseph becoming Emperor and the eventual conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars. What would have happened if Staps had been stopped?

  8. DBWI: Friedrich Staps hadn't killed Napoleon?

    In 1809, a German nationalist by the name of Friedrich Staps stabbed Napoleon to death after Napoleon had come forward to sign a petition for him during the peace negotiations regarding the War of the Fifth Coalition. What if this assassination was avoided entirely? How would this affect...

  9. WI: Holy Roman Empire forms in West Francia

    The POD I have in mind is that both Charles the Bald and Louis the German live a few years longer than they did OTL, solving the conflict they had at the end of their lives with a treaty that would've given West Francia the imperial title as well as Italy and Lower Burgundy, while East Francia...

  10. DBWI: 1848 Revolutions Failed

    The 1848 Revolutions in Europe was likely the most influential revolutionary wave in Europe, completely shattering the status quo of absolutist monarchies (for the most part) running the show and allowed great liberal behemoths such as Germany, Italy, Hungary (or what's left of it), Poland, and...

  11. DBWI: Constitutional Convention went as planned?

    The Articles of Confederation were probably one of the leading factors to the demise of the USA due to the sheer amount of problems it had. They were almost replaced at the Constitutional Convention before that outbreak of yellow fever ravaged Philadelphia. What if that outbreak had hit at a...

  12. DBWI: Louis I had more than one surviving son?

    In retrospect, Louis I was pretty damn lucky. Frankish tradition during Charlemagne, which was passed on to good ol' Pious, was to basically split land between their sons. Since he had no sons survive childbirth but Lothair (who then had a ton of daughters but only one son), there was nobody to...

  13. DBWI: More peaceful collapse of the Greater German Reich

    1949 saw the beginning of one of the deadliest civil wars in human history, killing millions of people for no good reason. What if Germany hadn't violently dissolved into a civil war? One POD I could see having the GGR dissolve more peacefully would be to have Hitler live past the Battle of...

  14. DBAHC: Avoid the splintering of the USA

    Would there be any way to prevent the USA from splitting up into its constituent parts? I'm doing research on a TL I'm planning on doing and I'm trying to find a plausible way of keeping it together.

  15. DBAHC: Democratic Germany

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create a Weimar-like government for Germany that lasts until the present day. Here's the challenge part of it: the POD has to be after Heydrich came to power (so no WWII PODs, that's too easy).

  16. How bad could WWII have gotten?

    I've been playing a lot of grand strategy games lately (notably Darkest Hour), and while the plausibility of those games is not the best at all, it got me thinking. How bad, in terms of death toll and length, could WWII have gotten?

  17. DBWI: Jodorowsky didn't direct 'Dune'

    Alejandro Jodorowsky's 'Dune' was an incredibly experimental film with its 14-hour length, unique artstyle, unorthodox cast and a soundtrack that could only be described as psychedelic. As a result, Jodorowsky had major trouble in getting a studio to fund it. What if Jodorowsky failed to get the...

  18. WI: Russia devolves into Warlordism after Russian Cvil War

    Assuming that every side in the Russian Civil War cripple their war effort to the point where none of them can truly win the civil war for several years (i.e schism between Lenin and Trotsky, Kolchak manages to capture Moscow but the Whites become disjointed anyway due to corruption, etc.), how...

  19. DBWI: Hitler doesn't die in 1940 (second attempt)

    So what if Hitler didn't go to that July 12th banquet that ended up killing him or was at least a bit more careful with how he chewed his food and as a result survived? First off, the prospects of him getting peace with the British if he stayed in power decrease drastically, even with Halifax...

  20. DBWI: Hitler doesn't die in 1940

    So what if Hitler didn't go to that banquet that ended up killing him or was at least a bit careful with how he chewed his food and as a result survived? First off, the prospects of him getting peace with the British if he stayed in power decrease drastically, even with Halifax as Prime...
