Do you guys like alternate history? what are some of your favorite pieces of this genre?

Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg. Another althistory I like is Timeline 191.

>>1774534
Italy was split into a confederation of nobles and the Pope in the North and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies after WWI, the Austro-Hungarians are only nominally united and tend to fall apart in game, and Russia is in a Weimar Republic scenario, with a government that falls to a Nazi equivalent, commies, or monarchists about 75% of the time.

Is red inferno any good?

I've been developing one called "Reign of the Conquerors" about Napoleon, Nader Shah, Simon Bolivar, and Mohammed Ali all being a bit more successful in consolidating (or protecting their work in Napoleon's case.)

One feature I like about the timeline I've developed is how France sets up a sort of academia for the entire continent by mass exporting scholarships and degrees, and how Prussia under Bismarck becomes an intensely religious state that conquers the Baltics so that it can have an edge against Russia, Warsaw, and Napoopan.

Contains 10 what-if scenarios where the South wins the Civil War. My favourite is the one where Lee convinces Davis to adopt Cleburne's proposal.

Almost anything but the boring "What if the Nazis conquered the world ?!?!?!?!?!111/1/1/1//1/?????" is most often interesting

Except for the people on places like ah.com who make the most boring threads about some different airplane design or a domestic politics thread.
>>
>>1775766
What would you say to a what-if scenario where the Americans remain neutral throughout the war? The Allies still win or an armistice is settled, but Europe is entirely worn down to the point where every nation within it is on the verge of economic collapse. The Japanese get to keep their empire and the US remains a country of neutrality.
>>
>>1774331
I haven't actually read it myself, but from what I've read ABOUT it, I really like the premise of the book "1632", about a 20th century american mining town being displaced in time and landing right in the middle of the Thirty Years' War in Thuringia. Also Kaiserreich, like >>1774444 mentions, is probably my favorite piece overall.

Had the terms of the Carlisle Commission (self-rule, Parliamentary Representation, repeal of the Tea Act and other Intolerable Acts) been offered to the Continental Congress in 1775, rather than after the Battle of Saratoga and the formation of a Franco-American alliance, would the colonies have accepted? Would America have remained a part of the United Kingdom, and for how long?

Returned to Spain. Most Allied overseas territories are either returned to their nearest claimant (e.g. Argentina takes the Falklands) or just went to Germany (e.g. Malta, Indochina). India balkanized.
>>
>>1777106
>>1777106
>Argentina takes the Falklands
Argentina was on the Allied side though, they were pretty much a US client state at the time.
>>
>>1777091
>Germany surrenders on the condition
Unworkable fantasy. Allies would not accept anything but uncondition surrender
>>
>>1777135
Okay, let's take that for a minute.
>Russia demands unconditional
>US UK know what's up and offers some decent terms because they wanna fuck USSR

Or

>Germany unconditionally surrenders to US/UK
>team up on USSR

You missed the big point entirely
>>
>>1777130
In this reality they're an Authoritarian state under the rule of Augustin P. Justo, a former military commander. In real life he performed a coup against the government in 1930 and became president in 32, so I assume in this timeline that still happened, but the Germans supported him and they have some kind of agreement.

Also, Argentina starts the game embargoing all the communist states, so they may be a part of Germany's economic bloc. Other countries in the game that start with that tend to be on Germany's side or in their sphere of influence.

What if the Punic Wars ended in Carthage's favor?

There wasn't really much left of a German war machine in 1944. Just as Allies and USSR didn't attack each other in 1945, they wouldn't in 1944.

Western Civilization would not exist the way we know it today. There would be no Frankish Empire, no >H>R>E and no Byzantine Empire, which all claimed to be successors to the Roman state. With the Romans vanquished so soon, Christianity would not be able to spread across the Mediterranean and Europe. The Carthaginian language would influence and father languages all across the Mediterranean. maybe they would even sail to the Americas looking for new trade routes. The elephants would run rampant and the shekels would be surreal.

This was the plan of Operation Walküre. The insurgents wanted to sign a peace treaty with the allies, but keep all the territories they won in the war. It might have been pretty cool. Especially our new flag would have been the shit.

Operation Unicorn, an alternate history series currently being written on Yuku where Germany manages to gain naval superiority over Britain in WW1 and invades Ireland. Despite how the premise sounds it's actually extremely well written and I recommend it.

Harry Turtledove has written some very good alternate history novels, particularly the TL-191 series. The Peshawar Lancers, by SMS Stirling, is also quite good.
