  2. Provoked Sealion

    So, how about this... The goal of the Battle of Britain was to subdue the RAF and then either a) make Britain sue for peace or b) allow for Sealion to happen. In OTL the British were worried about Sealion, but nowadays we know that any attempt of it would have ended in a bloodbath for the...

  3. Worse Columbine

    The initial plan of the Columbine massacre involved detonating propane bombs in the school cafeteria, potentially killing hundreds of students. The bombs failed to detonate luckily. A very chilling scenario. Would gun controls have been tighter if such massive deaths were to have occured?

  4. WI: "Death Ride" of the High Seas Fleet goes ahead

    So, I've read about the German High Command considering such a "death ride" in the closing months of WWI to kill Home Fleet units and help the Germans in the coming negotiations at the war end.

  7. German underground invasion of Britain

    Inspired by the "German airborne invasion of Britain" thread: What if Hitler abandons Barbarossa and invests all the Reich's resources into building a channel tunnel to invade Great Britain? If you can't have air or naval superiority and lack the equipment to fly or ship the men over, why...

  9. Japanese Baloon Bomb Campaign get's nasty

  10. WI: No Italy in WWII

    I guess this has been attempted before, but I'd like to hear your comments. Mussolini was a Hitler-fanboy and did declare war upon the Allies during the Fall of France, hoping that the war would end soon and his declaration of war would secure Italy some gains. What if he didn't? What if...

  12. WI: 1993 WTC bombing successful

    So what if the 1993 WTC attack was successful. The bomb used was probably not big enough and the van was parked too far away from the crucial fundaments, but if the terrorists used a bigger bomb (perhaps in a slightly bigger van) and managed to place it on the right spot, the attack could have...

  14. WI The Japanese don't surrender.

    Come August 1945 both atomic bombs are dropped. However this time the nationalists prevail and persuade the Emperor not to surrender. This may involve the killings of some "traitors" like PM Suzuki. What happens now?

  15. The Greek-Turkish War of 1996

    In 1996 Greece and Turkey came pretty close to war, when a crisis erupted over the small islands of Imia/Kardak. In the end war was avoided, after the intervention of the US and after both sides decided to pull their forces away. For those who need more info...

  16. WI: No Pearl Harbor

    This has probably been done before, but lemme give it a shot... WI no Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese in 1941? The Japanese leadership decides to dismiss the operation, deciding it would be too risky and their valuable carriers would be exposed to early detection by US subs. So instead of...

  17. Red Storm Rising: Major Chernyavin not hit by a car.

    So what if the Major is not hit by a car and the Soviet plan of attack not exposed to NATO? Can the USSR perform better without suffering that initial striking air raid and without losing the Spetznaz forces in W. Germany?

    So, what if prior to 9/11 MTV started the reality show "The Husseins" (instead of starting "The Osbournes" in 2002). The show featured the dictator of Iraq with his family, their everyday lives, footage of the luxurious palaces, etc. The show became very popular in some Middle Eastern...

  20. The Empire Strikes Back: No british aid to Greece,instead invasion of the Dodecanese!

    So, what about this? (Inspired from the "Operation Compass successfull" thread) The British sent 2 divisions and 1 brigade to help the Greeks out, when the Germans started moving South. What if instead of doing so, the British didn't send these forces to Greece but used them to take the...
