In the vibrant city of Berlin within the walls of the embassy of the USA, the esteemed Ambassador engaged in vital discussions with the Chancellor of Germany about the nation Belarus but rather to be more precise about its state. The focus of their negotiations revolved around the delicate...

Would Have Mao Zedong Execution by Kuomintang? Would Have a South Korea Won Korean War and Annexation North Korea After Kuomintang Won Chinese Civil War? Would Have COVID-19 Never Happened After Kuomintang Won Chinese Civil War? Would Have a Cultural Revolution Never Happened after Kuomintang...

The first president of South Korea, Syngman Rhee was a ruthless and corrupt far-right dictator whose regime was responsible for the imprisonment and death of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of political dissidents. He was also a very old man, being 84 years old by the time he was finally...

Reading up on the Blue House Raid attempt got me thinking that if successful (resulting in the death of Park Chung-Hee that is), aside from South Korea possibly retaliating by doing the same towards Kim Il-Sung, how will it lead to a resumption of hostilities in the Korean peninsula? And if so...

Let's say that, at the end of the cold war (to be more specific, sometime between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the USSR, maybe Kim il Sung's death at latest), North and South Korea manage to reunify under the Southern government. What would make this possible? What kind of effects...

This is the alternate history map to show the slightly large, imperative South Korea (Republic of Korea) if the city of Gaeseong remained under the South Korean administration near the DMZ border. The US, UN, and ROK military forces launched the massive counterattacks north of Imjin River around...

Let’s say the Chinese offensive in the Korean War is a complete disaster and the US/UN coalition annihilates them and holds serve in Korea. How does the US domestic political landscape change? Truman would be a sure fire victory in 1952 as I don’t think Eisenhower would run in this scenario...

What if the US won the Korean War? Or if the Korean War never even happened? How would things change (other than no North Korea)? How would a united Korea change pop culture as we know it?

I am given to understand that a large part of why South Korea is so successful today is because of U.S investments in the country and was quite poor compared to the North for a long time surrounded by Communist leaning nations(except Japan, but the atrocities committed by the Japanese in Korea...

I know I maybe wrong, but compared to Japan and US/Canada South Korea has never really had a big game developer a la Nintendo or Microsoft. With a POD of 1980, change this. TBH, I think Samsung could easily e a good candidate for it in the 1990s and 2000's.

What if the Korean war actually ended in TTL (in OTL it did not, just a very long ceasefire going on today) with the country being unified under the Communist North, but the south still has it's own system similar to how Hong Kong supposedly used to have it's own seperate system from China up...

Say Park Chung-Hee is never assassinated and Kim Il-Sung is overthrown in a Chinese backed coup by generals who don't want North Korea to turn into a monarchy. If North Korea successfully reforms into Democratic Socialism (successfully as China will allow anyway) while South Korea turns to...

One of the most intense incidents between the two Koreas since the end of the Korean War, the Blue House raid was a failed plan to assassinate South Korean president and de-facto dictator Park Chung-Hee. Unit 124 was entrusted with the mission, and left their garrison at Yonsan on January 16...

I just recently watched the film Murder at 1600 on TV. Part of the side-plot involves a USAF E-3 plane being shotdow over North Korea and the airmen being held prisoner. The hawkish U.S. military generals want to wage war with North Korea unless they handover the prisoners peacefully. However...

In June 1994 the United States nearly went to war with North Korea to stop their nuclear weapons program, and the crisis was only averted due to the intercession of former President Carter. How could the war start and how would it unfold? Would a rump North Korea be likely post war?

On 20 December 1991, just six days before the collapse of the USSR, North and South Korea re-unified under a democratic government, forming the united Korean state as we know it today. Your challenge is to find a PoD which will prevent the reunification of Korea. Go!

Imagine, if you will, a scenario where the Soviets and Americans help liberate the Korea Peninsula, but the Soviets take notice of the South Chinese Sea... Knowing that the Soviets wanted to have access to a warm water port for their existence, they then decide to go and take the South for their...

what if Kim Il-Sung was the leader of the Republic of Korea instead of Syngman Rhee as the Democratic Dictator and Syngman Rhee as the Communist Dictator of the People's Republic of Korea instead of Kim Il-Sung? What would happen to the Kim Dynasty?
