  1. WI There was no Profumo Affair in 1961?

    What if there was no Profumo Affair in 1961? I think the biggest winners in this reality would be the Conservative Party. I think they wouldn't have that to stain them in 1964 and would defeat the Labour Party and Harold Macmillan would still be Prime Minister.
  2. What if a Fascist government takes power in Sweden in the 1930s?

    What would have happened if a fascist government took power in Sweden in the 1930s? I think a union between Sweden and Finland might have been a possibility in that circumstance. If there's not a union of Sweden and Finland Sweden would probably have stayed neutral like Spain.
  3. WI Margaret of Norway,Queen of Scotland hadn't died in 1290?

    What impact would it have had on Scottish history if Margaret of Norway hadn't died in 1290? The Scots would have rallied to her but Edward l would still be backing(IMO) John Balliol to be King of Scotland. I think Edward l would still have invaded Scotland just like he did in this reality(John...

  6. What if Japan takes Shanghi in 1932?

    What if Japan takes Shanghi in 1932? Would Japan have been more successful in conquering more of China? I think Japan would have steamrolled China since China was considerably weaker in 1932 than they were in 1937. How do y'all think this would have impacted history in this region?
  7. WI Leonid Brezhnev lives until the early 90's?

    What if Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev lives until the early 1990s? Does reform in the Warsaw pact get knocked back all the way until after Brezhnev's death? Leonid was a hard a hardliner as you could find anywhere and I could never see him submitting to reforms in the USSR and the Warsaw Pact.
  8. What if the Jacobites win the Battle of the Boyne?

    What if the Jacobite rebels win the Battle of the Boyne what are the consequences? I think James II would be emboldened by the victory in Ireland and move the fight to England. I don't think victory would be in the cards for him in the long term.
  9. WI Japan defeats the USSR at the battles of Lake Khasan and Khalkin Gol?

    What if Japan defeats the Soviets in the battles of Lake Khasan and and Khalkin Gol? Would Japan try to take Vladivostok?

    What if the Ayatollah Khomeini was assassinated by the Shah of Iran's secret police SAVAK in the 1960s in Iraq? I think it would have a huge impact on the happenings in late 1970s Iran because he was pretty much the father of the Islamic revolution in Iran.
  11. WI George Washington was killed during the Braddock expedition of 1755?

    What if George Washington had died along with Braddock at Fort Duquesne in 1755? I think Benedict Arnold would have risen very high in the command structure of the Continental Army or maybe even wound up C in C. Arnold was a quality General who I think wouldn't have been turned traitor in that...
  12. WI Italy was neutral and stayed out of WW2?

    What if Fascist Italy was neutral and stayed out of WW2? Would the Fascist gov't have lasted until the 1960s-1970s? I think Italy would have wound up like Franco's Spain. I think Mussolini probably would have died in the 1950s and Count Ciano would have taken over as Il Duce.
  13. WI The Conservatives win UK Parliamentary Elections in 1880

    What if the Conservative Party wins the 1880 United Kingdom Parliamentary elections and Benjamin Disraeli becomes Prime Minister for another term in office?

    What do you think would have happened if Edward VI lived past 1547? I remember the movie Lady Jane about Jane Grey where Jane and Edward were friends. I think there might have been the possibility that He would have married Jane Grey. Which would have given the Grey family a chance to try to...

  19. WI Douglas McArthur wins the Presidency in 1952?

    What if General McArthur rides the discontent over his firing and over the Korean war to the White House in 1952? I think He would be much more conservative than Eisenhower and leave situations like the Suez crisis alone.
  20. WI Brutus and Cassius won the civil war against Octavian and the Second Triumvirate?

    What if Brutus and Cassius defeated Octavian and the second triumvirate in the roman civil war? I think the republic would have stayed as it was in the short term. The republican form of government the romans had then was(IMO)less suited to running a vast empire than that of an absolute...
