  1. 1982:Spaniards seize the Rock whilst the RN's in the Falklands

    Whilst the entire 50 warship strong Royal Navy is away fighting the Argentinians in the Falklands-Malvinas, the Spaniards in a similar act of reckless Hispanic macho send a division over the border and take Gibraltar. After 100 killed on both sides, the British regiment there surrenders. King...

  2. Gore-Lieberman appease Bin Laden after 911

    How would Gore & Lieberman have reacted differently to 911? Being big liberals and inclusivists, would they have had it in them to invade Afghanistan? They certainly would not have attacked Iraq. Would they try and open a dialogue with Al Qaeda or even try and appease Bin Laden eg by using...

  3. TV keeps broadcasting through WW2

    The BBC & Deutsche Rundfunk both started broadcasting TV in 1936. In OTL it was not used at all during the war. WI television sets had been more much more widely distributed before the war and they kept on broadcasting as a propaganda tool, so that people would be able to watch Pathe News &...

  4. Chernobyl USA: 4 New York Nuclear Power Stations Hit on 911

    WI the terrorists on 911 had instead succeeded in simultaneously plowing their aircraft into the four nuclear power stations in New York State, creating four instant Chernobyls? Whilst the immediate number of those killed would be only in the hundreds, vast clouds of radioactive spume would...

  5. A Female President:Hillary Clinton vs Elizabeth Dole

    WI Bill Clinton's sexual indiscretions came to light before the 1996 election, forcing him to step down; and Bob Dole's injures himself seriously falling from the podium so that he's out of the running. Counting on a sympathy backlash, Hillary steps in as the Democratic candidate, compelling the...

  6. Thanksgiving Assassination: President Dick Cheney

    WI Al Qaeda had got wind of President Bush's surprise Thanksgiving visit to Iraq and assassinated him? Assuming Dick Cheney's dodgy ticker held up, what kind of a president would he turn out to be? What changes, if any, would he implement to try and put his stamp on his 11 month presidency...

  7. Prostate Cancer PSA Testing Conspiracy

    Prostate Cancer PSA Over Screening Due to increased longevity, stress, pollutants in the food supply etc, prostate cancer cells are now detected in autopsies 1% in men 30+, 5% in men 40+, 50% of men 60+, and 80% in men 70+, and rising massively worldwide. PSA figure of more than 4 results in a...

  8. 2nd SS Panzer identified:Arnhem drop still goes ahead

    WI Allied intelligence had clearly identified the presence & threat of Bittrich's 2nd SS Panzer Division revictualising at Arnhem 5 days before the 17 September drop? Would the whole of Market Garden have immediately been called off? Or would they have gone ahead with a revised plan: a more...

  9. 1944 Warsaw Uprising succeeds

    The August 1944 Warsaw uprising lasted 2 months and resulted in 300,000 Polish dead and the city being levelled. But it met with initial success. WI it had been timed differently, either later, or with the Soviets giving it help sufficient to oust the Gemans, so that when the Soviets arrive...

  10. 1745:Bonnie Prince Charlie takes London

    WI Bonnie Prince Charlie had had more clans with him, had advanced the 100 miles from Derby, & with the aid of English Catholics sacked Parliament & the King's residence? Although he would eventually have had to have fled before the vengeful Redcoats rushing back from Europe, what would have...

  11. US stays out of Vietnam: a different Sixties

    WI the US studiously refuses to get involved with Vietnam, and had let the South fall? Without such an obvious cause celebre, what would Jane Fonda & her ilk have found to protest about, if anything? No student riots? No Woodstock? Less Flower Power? How would the loss of stimulus that the...

  12. No Pearl Harbour:US fleet comes to the Japanese & loses big

    WI all the attacks occur as in OTL, except the Japanese don't attack Pearl Harbour? What would be the US strategy? To impetuously immediately send out the entire fleet "to liberate the Philipines"? How far would the Americans be prepared to sail, without fearing a trap, or going beyond their...

  13. 1942:Slim, Monty & the "Auk" at HK & Singapore

    Would having a top (by British standards), more aggressive general like Bill Slim, or even Auchinleck or Montgomery at Singapore or Hong Kong have made any difference, or would they merely have delayed the inevitable debacle?

  14. Timothy McVeigh not caught:continues to plant bombs

    WI Timothy McVeigh was never caught and no group ever claimed responsibility for the Oklahoma bombing? Muslims would be suspected, but without evidence. What would Clinton, or the "forces" behind him have made with the opportunity, if anything? Come 911, the Muslims would for sure have been...

  15. A Night Time 911 WTC Hit

    WI the aircraft had impacted the WTC at night? With both Towers being virtually empty, although the pyrotechnics would be spectacluar, New Yorkers would wake to find a Ground Zero in which only a few poor night watchmen had died. With less outrage, would the impetus to oust the Taliban & then...

  16. Less effective Deutsche Wochenschau = shorter WW2?

    Hitler made no public speeches after 1943. It is no exaggeration to say that it was Goebbel's speeches and the work of his Propaganda Ministry that stiffened German resolve immeasurably in the face of retreats on all fronts 1943-45. So much stiffening, that in OTL the Nazis literally had to be...

  17. Napoleon Gets his Global Empire

    "I have a feeling that one day someone born on the little island of Corsica will astonish the world" portended Rousseau, seven years before Napoleon's birth! What single battle, series of battles or plausible scenario would it have taken for Bonaparte to get his global empire, & achieve his goal...

  18. AIDS more infective:notifiable & quarantinable

    WI AIDS/HIV really was more infective: that it really could be caught from kissing, sneezing, bathing & toilet seats, albeit not easily, & that contracting it meant ultimately certain death. Would the current social paradigm of absolute moral tolerance, equality & sexual relativism have been...

  19. Wehrmacht fails because of Horbiger's Ice Cosmology

    The cold weather preparations of the Germans for their first winter in Russia were non-existent. The troops died in droves of the frost. By winter 1943-44, they were much better equipped and the German soldiers, tanks & aircraft were able to fully fight even in Siberian-type snow storms. The...

  20. Wernher Von Braun captured by the Soviets:no Apollo moon landing ever

    Wernher Von Braun surrendered with most of his team to an American private. But a large part of his rocket scientists were also caught by the Russians. WI the entire team, their plans & V2 parts had been caught by the Russians? Without Operation Paperclip, the Russians would have had a huge...
