    Neville Chamberlain resigns as PM after the Munich Conference - who becomes PM?

    Fairly simple POD - Chamberlain is forced to resign around Christmas 1938 due to his cancer coming on earlier than OTL. As a successor, which at this point is still the 'magic circle' the Conservatives used prior to 1965, both Anthony Eden and Winston Churchill are outsiders, the Munich...

    If those who had died in "their time" had lived longer (if Oscar Wilde had seen WWI and other ideas)

    I think it's very hard to say with Diana, she could just as easily become a national embarrassment whom the royals distance themselves from, to being a well respected member of the extended royal family in the present day.

    How early a functional nuclear weapon could have been produced?

    Another issue is having a suitable delivery mechanism, the B-29 was only just suitable for the atomic delivery mission. At one point the USAF seriously considered using Avro Lancasters instead due to the bigger bomb bay, and it was doubtful if a Lancaster would be able to escape the blast due to...

    Hong Kong lease is 199 years long?

    Say the diplomat whom negotiated the lease of the New Territories in 1897 decides that 99 years isn't long enough on the lease and decides to add an extra 100 years to the lease. How would this effect Anglo-Sino relations and any negotiations over the future status of Hong Kong, without the...

    What if the Soviets and satellites invaded Yugoslavia in late summer 1950?

    Do you think that Bulgaria might annex much of Macedonia, and Albania Kosovo in such a scenario?

    What if the Soviets and satellites invaded Yugoslavia in late summer 1950?

    Wouldn't this lead to a reaction similar to that which happened in 1956 after the crushing of the Hungarian revolution in Western communist parties, with many members leaving in digust over the actions of the USSR? Perhaps later in the Cold War you might see a Eurocommunist movement which is...

    No Vichy France?

    Yeah, but the Heer has had to fight the French all the way to Marseille, on increasingly stretched supply lines, whilst the figleaf of legitmacy that the Vichy Regime offered isn't there so more German forces (which would have otherwise been sent to Russia OTL) will be required to garrison France.

    No Vichy France?

    I couldn't see the French fleet getting destroying during the evacuation to North Africa, the Germans were never exceptional at aerial attacks on shipping, and the Italians probably wouldn't risk their fleet to attack the evacuation convoys, at best at that time they had two Battleships plus...

    Operation Eisenhammer in June 1943

    Did the Germans have the ability to bomb accurately enough to cause anything more than minor damage to the generating plants?

    AHC/WI : Communist China reduced to Soviet occupied zones.

    The Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-Shek would want to control Beijing in the aftermath of the Japanese surrender at the very least to provide further legitimacy over the CCP, and to deny the CCP the legitimacy of controlling Beijing. Additionally, if a armistice is eventually concluded between the...

    UK Secondary School ISOT to August 1940.

    Your average UK Secondary school (so around 800 students, sixth form, plenty of teachers and plenty of poorly behaved students) gets ISOT back in time to the Battle of Britain. I'll work on the grounds the school was built on a greenfield site so doesn't displace anything. The biggest benefit...

    US Politics if the Upper South transitions away from slavery

    If a state does decide to abolish slavery, perhaps in the 1830's/1840's then wouldn't it start a crisis in the senate as the balance between slave and free states would be off?

    What’s the best Operation Sea Lion book, in your opinion?

    There is a timeline on AH.Com which makes changes to the pre-war Luftwaffe in order to provide the conditions needed for Sealion to go ahead, with the invasion failing after a few days. I'd also be interested if anyone has written or looked into a Sealion - 1942, with the rough premise that...
