The day after its release, I discovered on Itch.io the video game Social Democracy: An Alternate History by Autumn Chen, a creator whose games I've already played and enjoyed. In this game, you start in 1928 in Weimar Germany as the SPD and you have to run in legislative and presidential...

So Hitler dying in the Beer Hall Putsch is a very common point of divergence in alternate history (as well as all the other opportunities for Hitler to die or vanish, such as in WWI, but I find the BHP one more interesting), and probably for understandable reasons. It is a very easy and obvious...

The premise is very simple, instead of the Nazis being the ones in power, it's the same Weimar Republic but with a leading party who also controls the parliament for the whole war for simplification sake's and they have just started WW2 by invading Poland after a secret deal with the USSR to...

So let's say, hypothetically What if Weimar Republic was actually a stable republic and successfully get rid of radical factions in the nation such as communist and nazis, while Japan remain unchanged Will the US maintain the global influence we have after the war? Will Japan get their ass...

POD: German-Americans are more politically active after WW1 and start grumbling about the conditions in Germany during the hyperinflation period. This is due to a charismatic German-American named Rudolf Weber who gains a following. Oct 3,1923 Calvin Coolidge comes to a decision after getting...

Dear luminaries, I am writing a ATL where the White end up winning the civil war, after much destruction and bloodbath. (It’s written in French; I hope that one day I’ll have the energy to translate it in English and post it here). I am, I think, on rather firm ground when it comes to Russia...

“Order prevails in Berlin!" You foolish lackeys! Your 'order' is built on sand. Tomorrow the revolution will rise up again, clashing its weapons, and to your horror it will proclaim with trumpets blazing: I was, I am, I shall be!" ~ Rosa Luxemburg, 14/1/19 " At last we see in Germany honest...

Imagine you are the German economic minister in 1929. What would you have to done to fix the economy

This timeline is inspired by the few threads on either Hitler or Stalin's parents immigrating to the US. In this timeline, I will try to make it as realistic as possible, however, being human I will probably make mistakes so any advice and ideas is greatly appreciated as long as it is within...

March 17th, 1941: Young Vladimir trudged in the deep Byelorussian snow. In the cold air, he could see his breath trail, like cigarette smoke. "Damn," he found himself mumbling, "I could really use a sigareta right now." His face was pink and raw, but he had long grown accustomed to this from...

Taken while reading an article from this site about the Jacobites, whose inheritance was later taken by the Bavarian Wittelsbachs... So, what if Held and von Aretin had been more bold about their defiance to Hitler and support for a restoration of the Bavarian monarchy? Could they pull off a...

The KPD played an important role in the destruction of the democracy in Germany. The communists refused to cooperate with the social democrats and called them social facists. But what if the two parties worked together? Could united general strike or a one candidate for the presidential...

In later parts of 1918 the poles rebelled in posen, trying to break away greater poland to join the new poland. The uprising happened at a good time due to the German empire turning into a Republic making it hard for the germans to fight. They would eventually sieze posen and the polish corridor...

Pretty much everyone who knows anything about the history of film knows about the importance of German cinema in the years following the Great War (roughly 1919-33); what is less known is that one production company, Universum-Film Aktiengesellschaft, dominated this industry, and it did so as it...

I am planning on writing an Alternate History about WW2, but not in the way traditionally done. In my scenario, Hitler doesn't rise to power and the Weimar Republic is a stable, if not slightly corrupt democracy. What would need to change with the Treaty of Versailles to make this happen?
