    Could FDR have been impeached?

    A couple of years back, I read that if FDR had launched a reverse Pearl Harbor and sank the IJN Combined Fleet at harbor in Japan, Congress would have impeached him for starting a war without an official declaration of war, much less Congressional ratification. But would they really have? I...

    DBWI: United China, Divided Europe

    Essentially, flipping Eurasia on its head. Instead of the Empire of the Four Saint Crowns, we have a number of nation-states and principalities dividing Europe between them, at least west of the Russian Empire. Similarly, instead of a collection mutually-jealous states, we have a united China...

    DBWI: Alternative Brides for the Japanese Royals (Collaborative TL)

    One of the more curious aspects of the 'modern' League of Three Emperors were the marriages of the past two generations of Japanese royals. The Dowager Empress was born Grand Duchess Svetlana Alexeyevna Romanova, daughter to Tsar Alexei II of Russia, while the Empress was born Princess Cecilia...

    Belgian Coastal Defense in WWI

    Belgium's fortifications during WWI were well-suited to defend against an invasion either from north or south, i.e. France and Germany, with fortresses positioned at key points along the lines of movement invading armies would have to take from either country. There were AFAIK even specialized...

    DBWI: Germany not reunited under the GDR

    Following the end of WWII, the Western Allies implemented the Morgenthau Plan, which aimed at the complete deindustrialization of West Germany and forcible pastoralization of the local population. This would ultimately lead to the complete collapse of the European economy (outside the Eastern...

    WI: Reverse Schlieffen Plan

    What if a more aggressive French government decides to beat Germany to the punch, and counting on the British's pragmatic streak (they basically think the British won't care how it's done so long as the threat of Germany is dealt with) conclude that the Treaty of London can be ignored? Once...

    DBWI: No Red Decade

    As we all know, the 1920s would come to be known as the Red Decade as the Soviet Union launched a massive invasion of Europe in the aftermath of the Polish-Soviet War. Coupled with Communist insurrections in European countries, by the late 20s the entirety of Europe including the British Isles...

    DBWI: Manchuria not nuked

    When the Chinese crossed the border during the Korean War, the US government threatened to use nuclear weapons if they didn't retreat in three days. Mao, thinking the Americans were bluffing and that the Soviets would back him, refused. In four days, Dalian, Harbin, Bei'an, and Changchung in...

    DBWI: Syria and the Trans-Jordan defy the Grand Alliance, test-detonate an A-Bomb

    Is the Middle East going to start WWIII, just like it started WWII?

    DBWI: America took Guam and the Philippines in 1898

    In 1898 the US Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Paris of 1898, on the basis that annexing Guam and the Philippines would involve America in the overlapping spheres of European (and Japanese) colonial interests in Asia, and risk dragging America into overseas wars. This forced the treaty's...

    DBWI: No Anglo-German Union

    What if Britain didn't adopt absolute primogeniture in 1901, and so her eldest daughter, Princess Royal Victoria the Kaiserin Friedrich of Germany did not become Queen after her? Or more importantly, what would the world be like if Wilhelm the Great simply stayed Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany...

    DBWI: German High Seas Fleet destroyed at Jutland

    What if instead of the Grand Fleet being destroyed over the two day running battle, it was the High Seas Fleet which had been destroyed instead? It's not exactly impossible, Scheer was lucky to cross the British T, and despite the superior German gunnery which effectively destroyed the Grand...

    DBWI: Japan went militarist?

    What if instead of following the British path of Parliamentary government with an aloof, impartial, relative figurehead of a monarchy as a stabilizing factor, Japan followed the pre-WWI German model, a militaristic, absolute monarchy cloaked by a façade of democracy? It's not exactly...

    DBWI: Europe didn't support the Confederacy

    I'm just wondering, what if the European nations back in the mid-19th Century didn't decide to back the Confederacy against the Union? Borderline-ASB I know, what with memories of the Napoleonic Wars meaning that European mentalities were against really large nations - with the hypocritical...

    A Different Portsmouth

    According to my college professor (one of them at any rate), while Tsushima certainly contributed to Japanese overconfidence, the real cause of Japanese distrust/disregard of the west was being cheated out of their war aims despite their apparent victory, i.e. losing the peace as it were. So...

    Frederick Barbarossa Survives

    Basically as the title says: Emperor Frederick I doesn't die in en route to the Holy Land. 1) Can he win the crusade? 2) Can he turn the Holy Roman Empire into a coherent state on the same level as France and England?
