Tell me your favourite "alternate histories" that you like to ponder on, /his/.Nothing boring like "what if germany didn't lose" but something you think feasibly could have happened, and how you think it'd shape history.For example; what if Britian prevented the Thirteen Colonies from rebelling?
Texas would get independent
Japanese samurai conquest of Joseon Koreahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAoinrFMgQ0
>>18257773The Thirteen Colonies remaining British is one of my favorite alt-his scenarios. I don’t think it’d be as big as OP’s pic. Probably more like pic rel. France would lose Louisiana, but I don’t think there’d be much reason to go as far as California until gold is discovered there. And by that point, I think the British would be more concerned with India. If this happened though, I think Australia and New Zealand would be leas likely to exist. Although, Australia exists because no one else cared to colonize it, so maybe that’s still the case in this alternative timeline.
>Aimo Cajander doesn't become Prime Minister of Finland in 1937.>He doesn't cancel Finnish weapons purchases right before WWII>Finland is slightly better prepared against the Soviet Union (in real life the standard equipment of the Finnish Army was a cockade and belt, so called "model Cajander")>The Finnish leadership more convinced of their own strength and continue fighting the Winter War for a few weeks longer, enough time to officially request British aid>Britain possibly invade Norway and Sweden in order to get to Finland as well as Murmansk and bomb Caucasian oilfields>hijinks ensue
>>18257808I shudder to think what a hellhole a UK-ruled US would be
>>18257816It would literally just be a bigger Canada (so an even bigger hell hole). But until the 2000s, I think it’d be pretty kino. Imagine American regiments fighting Napoleon during the Peninsular Campaign.
Britain had tried to ruthlessly pursue its own power after WW1 instead of trying to be the good guy
>>18257822Preventing Germany from growing would be a necessity then.
TestAlso >>18257773 I sometimes think about what might have happened if the Spanish failed to conquer the Aztecs, just because I think it’d be interesting to see how Mesoamerican culture might have evolved
>>18257773Some interesting ones:>What if the Mongols won the battle of Ain Jalut 1260>What if Turenne didn't die at the battle of Salzbach 1675>What if jews weren't ontologically evil>What if the conspirators who killed Caesar didn't twiddle their thumbs while holding 12+ legions for a whole year>What if Hadrian finished the job>What if the Muslims won and the spanish reconquista never occured>What if China never implemented the one child law>What if the confederates won the american civil war>What if Americans never joined the allied powers in world war 1>What if Iran has a nuclear bomb (for real this time)>What if the Kim Jong family couldn't build a nuke in North Korea in time>What if the Americans lost the war of 1812

What if Irene did marry Charlemagne?
>>18257773Had Alexander the Great (PBUH) never been poisoned by his cowardly and wary generals (who proceeded to fight anyways for generations to come), he would've formed his GRECO-PERSIAN-ARABIAN-INDIAN-CHINESE EMPIRE and we would've been in space by 300 AA (AFTER ALEXANDER)
>>18257891What could has been done…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6ju52a_pdU
>>18257818Also what if Napoleon sold half of Louisiana (using operation base against Haitian rebel and British royal navy) or United States entered coalition side during Waterloo campaign (hundred days war)?
>>18257773If that map was true I would be an anglo Mexican
>>18257773What if Greece joined Central Powers after traitors cooperate allies invaded their country?https://historycollection.com/day-history-allies-asked-land-forces-salonika-1915/
>>18257823The main challenge was not Germany. The challenges were1. America. We were heavily in debt to them. Defaulting would've further damaged London's credibility as a financial centre. America was also at this point significantly richer. They could outspend and outproduce us. Our government opted for cooperation with them, but by staying off gold and developing the sterling area, we could've caught up. But that leads to problem 22. Nationalism in the colonies. There's no easy way to fix this. Decades of western education meant that even the most third world colonies have a sense of nationalism. The white Dominions certainly did not want to listen to London anymore. And without this network, competition with America was not going to work. They'd have to be kept on side at all costs, and by force if necessary.
What if Queen Jadwiga married her fourteen-year-old fiancé, William of Habsburg?
What if Belgium purchase Cuba (1837) and Japan buy northern Philippines (1896) while Germany get southern half from Spain?
What if North Korea gain access mecha technology, geass eyes, and cyborg ninja?
