  1. A strong European Civilization like Carthage or Rome

    Epirus was seen as semi-barbaric, and they came pretty close to establishing quite the empire

  2. What if Austria intervened against Montenegro/Serbia in 1st Balkan War? Save Ottomans or early WWI?

    this is quite interesting. don't know a whole lot about the internal political dynamics of Montenegro/Serbia/Bulgaria to comment. Regarding Romania, I'm willing to bet that, in almost any diplomatic configuration, they would enter a war against Bulgaria only if/when things look settled...

  3. Ceausescu keeps the money

    there would be an economic collapse caused by retaliatory measures: Source: Bogdan Murgescu, România și Europa - Acumularea Decalajelor Economice 1500 -2010 Romanian trade in 1980 was basically split in a 3-way tie between eastern block nations, developed capitalist nations and ”developing...

  4. AHC: Prevent Oppenheimer’s Security Clearance From Being Lifted In 1954.

    Different Korean War and a third term for Harry Truman?

  5. AHC Buddhist Egypt

    Sadly too late for a Greco-Bactrian resurgence lol

  6. What happens if Venice did not surrender to Napoleon?

    This would have major repercussions in the Adriatic though

  8. The US fights for Manila in early 1942

    How about keeping everyone in the city and fighting for it, Stalingrad-style? No rushed transfer to Bataan, instead everyone concentrates in Manila.

  9. WI: France really WAS behind the Mayerling Incident (1889), assassinating the Habsburg Crown Prince Rudolf

    how would Austria go to war with France by itself though?

  10. AHC: Rump Byzantine Empire survives to the Present

    One idea I had some time ago and was toying with was somewhat more successful crusades, particularly taking Aleppo instead of failing. Then, when the Turks come crashing into Anatolia and the Latins and Bulgarians take the Balkans, there's a rump state containing Cilicia, Cyprus, Syria from...

  11. WI: France really WAS behind the Mayerling Incident (1889), assassinating the Habsburg Crown Prince Rudolf

    Who do you think would go to war against who?

  12. WI Despotate of Epirus did not appear in 1205?

    nope, not the same one. never even heard of "ФАИ"

  13. AHC: Rump Byzantine Empire survives to the Present

    Find way to direct the Turkish demographic pressure elsewhere AND delay the collapse of Imperial authority in western Anatolia AND prevent the emergence of a single unified Turkish polity in Anatolia for long enough , and Constantinople may just hang on in its Thracian core (with or without...

  14. WI Despotate of Epirus did not appear in 1205?

    This period saw such an amount of instability, that you could plausibly arrive at pretty much any result you want

  15. WI: France really WAS behind the Mayerling Incident (1889), assassinating the Habsburg Crown Prince Rudolf

    Apparently, in a 1982 interview (which I've seen referenced in different locations, but couldn't find the original of), the former Austrian Empress Zita of Bourbon-Parma (who was ~89 years old at the time; she would die 7 years later in 1989), upon returning to Austria shortly after its travel...

  16. Which of its four great power opponents could Napoleonic or Republican France have most easily won over as an ally?

    Burn down Berlin and Vienna an keep a garrison there. Greater Poland to the Poles, Hungary to Hungarians. Independent Bohemia. Promise land to the Russian and Ukrainian peasants. Ignore Spain. Problem solved.

  17. Optimize Italy's war goals/plans for WWII.

    Let's have the following thought experiment: The attack through the Alps works, and Toulon and Marseilles are taken; Italy gets a bigger occupation zone of France, and also Tunisia and eastern Algeria at the negotiation table, without also collapsing Vichy authority in the eyes of Frenchmen in...

  18. AHC: An Axis state outside of Europe or East Asia

    Ummm... Iraq DID briefly ally with the Axis. Iran was technically a co-belligerant with the Axis on account of being invaded by the Allies. French Syria was sort-of technically an independent state (though by no means de facto), and it too was invaded by the British. Possibilities for others...

  19. Map Challenge, WWI

    Did the Ottomans do a weird land reclamation project in southern Florida?

  20. WW2: What could the British do if the USSR was defeated and the US remained neutral?

    In order for the US to "not enter ww2", you almost certainly need a combination of increased isolationism (doable) and a benign Japan (tough, but not impossible). Otherwise, conflict between the Anglo-Americans and Japan in the Pacific inexorably morphs into an Anglo-American alliance. About...
