I have been doing some reading and research on the alliance structure pre-WW1 . The League of Three Emperors was a short lived alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia. It was tried twice by Bismark but fell apart each time because of Balkans, specifically Russia and Austria's...

I've seen a lot of talk about what would have happened if Hitler had been a communist, a democrat, or even an anarchist, but I never read about this possibility, a Hitler who saw Republicans and Democrats as to blame for the defeat in the First World War and believed that the monarchy should...

The assassination of Archduke Frank Ferdinand, heir to Austria-Hungary at the hands of the Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip was the spark that kicked off the most ruinous war to date. While many geopolitical factors were already in motion, and to some degree, unavoidable, to lead the great...

Prelude: The year is 1913. The Balkan Powederkeg is being lit and tensions are rising. New weapons have been created and the nations are eager to use them. Colonial ambition in Africa is building up, everyone wants their slice of the continent, and relations are uneasy. Britain is threatened...

Kaiser Whilhelm the second is regarded as a poor leader of Germany under many regards. The Kaiser following the war tried to become king of Prussia and not Germany; however he found Germany and Prussia were one united country. He soon abdicates after. What if, in this alternate world; the...

TRAGEDY STRIKES THE ITALIAN POLITICAL SCENE ROME- Sidney Sonnino's government was hit by the tragedy today with the news of Antonio Salandra's sudden death. The finance minister was going to Pisa for institutional reasons, when the train he was traveling on derailed near Grosetto. While he...

They tricked me again. They had me kicked out of my apartment. Oh yes, I know it was THEM. I know it was THEIR fault i didn't find work and cause it all. THEY are obsessed with me. THEY know that I know. That I see beyond their lies and their bullshit. I see them for what they are. I see them...

In OTL, a majority of the officers and military leadership in Germany still held loyalties to the Kaiser and the German Empire of old. Suppose that sometime between 1929 and 1936, Hindenburg rallies these officers and those loyal to the old Kaiser in order to oppose Hitler and his Nazi party. If...

What if after the surrender of Germany Kaiser Wilhelm II decided against abdication? Would he be able to hold Germany together? In this alternate history he would blame his power hungry military dictators (Hindenburg & Ludendorff) on the downfall of Germany and try to soften the bad impact on...

Since 2013, British succession laws to the Throne have been changed to every first born being the automatic heir no matter what gender the child is. But what if instead of Queen Elizabeth II bringing that law into place, Queen Victoria did? That would mean her daughter would become Queen...

What if Hindenburg agreed to make Wilhelm III the new Kaiser of a revived German Empire to thwart Hitler and his Nazi Party from seizing power over the Reich? It doesn't have to be Wilhelm 3, bring back Wilhelm 2, or even place another prince on the Imperial Throne of a restored Kaiseriech...

EDIT: This Timeline is now available in book form (with added segments) on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B72Q3VCC Hey all, never made a TL before, hope this goes over decently enough. Obviously, don't consider any of the statements in the extracts here to neccessarily be similar to my...

I am curious what the demographics of a "realistic" mittleafrika might be. This mittleafrika in the Congo, plus territories taken by Britain and france are given back as part of a "honor" deal in a Central powers victory. However no additional territories besides congo. I would think Tanzania...

I know these "What if Hitler was "x" Ideology" questions are cliché. But I would like to know: What if Hitler was a Hohenzollern supporter that saw the abdication of the Kaiser as the reason for the defeat in the "Great War "? What if he saw the Social-Democrats, communists, Jews, Bankers, and...

Two scenarios for who the German Kaiser: Kaiser Wilhelm II (somehow) remains in power after WWI, much to the distaste of everyone Kaiser Wilhelm III becomes the German Kaiser after WWI, after his Father's abdication and exile Back to the question, could Hitler become the Chancellor if there...

(Talked about this plenty of times before about the HRE and Bismarck, but I want to hear other people ideas. This also may be ASB, but I wanted to talk in the Before 1900) AHC:Have the Holy Roman Empire be revived after the Congress of Vienna, and then have the Prussian Hohenzollerns replace...

What if the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Russian Empire formed a stable alliance before WW1? Reforming the League of Three Emperors, they come to an agreement on the Balkans, Baltic, and Black Sea, redirecting their ambitions outward at the expense of Romania, Serbia, the...

Like the title says, what would be the best cast scenario for the German Empire to survive into the modern world? The German monarchy lost prominence and abdicated after World War 1 and then the revolution. However, this event is one of the main precedents to Nazism and World War 2.

The Willy-Nicky telegrams were a series of personal communications between cousins (first cousins via Alexandra Feodorovna, 3rd via Paul I of Russia) Tsar Nicholas II and Kaiser Wilhelm II on the eve of WWI. They were rather friendly, and each was accustomed to calling the other "Willy" or...
