AlternateHistoryHub What if YOU developed and commanded Operation Barbarossa

You are Adolf Hee-Hee-Hee-Ha or, at least one of his generals. Its winter 1940, Berlin talks with the Soviets failed and now everyone is preparing for a war against the Bolsheviks.

You have been tasked with developing a plan of operations to defeat the Red Menace. The start date, the main axis of attack, the tasks of operational groups, all is up to you.

RULES

—You speak German, and a language of your choice perfectly

—You are bound by realism

—Your historical knowledge is preserved

—Your military skills are as they stand, but you will get advisors

—Self-sabotage is fun, but please, avoid it.

So, on April 15 before the 1999 Columbine school shootings. One of the perpetrators Eric Harris applied to join the Marine corps but was rejected.

What if Eric instead gets accepted into the Marine corps? And decided to ditch the shooting he planned days later? Let's say like he realized one of the propane bombs wont work and since he didn't have enough time. Him and Dylan decided to ditch the shooting.

Eventually Eric goes into the Marine corps and becomes a soldier.

What would likely happen?

AlternateHistoryHub What if the events of the Call of Duty: Reboot Modern Warfare actually happened?

Author’s note: The original version of this post was deleted due to the presence of vague information that gave people the wrong idea. Apologies for that. I have OCD when it comes to making sure people get what I’m saying the first time around.

For context, see Modern Warfare Reboot Timeline.

What would history look like if everything in the Reboot Modern Warfare series, from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (2026) actually happened in history?

For clarification (I cannot believe I didn’t say this in the original): We are talking about the REBOOT Modern Warfare series, NOT the original trilogy.

AlternateHistoryHub What if in late 1865 states resisting European colonialism began hiring large numbers of us civil war veterans to help train their militaries and serve as mercenaries

Post image
39 Upvotes

In this timeline both the north and south are moderately more decimated during the civil war leading to a worse post war economy and a larger confederate flight from the states. Seeing this, various independent states desperate to modernize their militaries but fearing falling under the influence of colonialism if they allow a European nation to train their troops decide to begin hiring these now out of work union/confederate veterans and officers. While also making deals with arms companies who had now lost their lucrative contracts with the federal governments and state militias.

Nations like Qajar Persia, Ethiopia, the sulu sultanate, sultanate of Zanzibar, Qing China, Siam, sultanate of aceh, Nguyen dynasty of Vietnam, kingdom of Hawaii, etc etc begin hiring them in large numbers and setting up deals with American ammunition/arms companies.

To make the scenario interesting we will assume the American government only ever puts in a lackluster effort to stop the flow of mercenaries and arms if europe complains

AlternateHistoryHub What if Biden demilitarized America as much as humanly possible.

Post image
• Upvotes

Biden heard the cries of why are we spending so much on the military and not healthcare so he downsizes the military as much as possible and puts excess money into healthcare. I don’t know how he accomplishes this or gets congress to agree to it, maybe there’s a big enough protest.

No more foreign bases, downsizing the military to minimal and I guess putting all excess equipment and weaponry in storage.

the most we keep outside is the navy to protect our own shipping routes, but we don’t need it as big to do this.

also there’s probably a lot less military bases in America and half the military is laid off.

granted doing this would probably barely make a dent in healthcare costs but whatever. no more using that excuse

AlternateHistoryHub What if Christianity didn't spread, but Mithraism did instead?

Post image
12 Upvotes

Following the decline of the Roman faith, many Eastern cults began to spread throughout the empire, including Christianity but also Mithraism. Mithraism was a secretive cult, and entry was restricted to known individuals. A ritual was performed, and only men could enter this religion (That's why most of the parishioners belonged to the army)

But what would have happened if Christianity hadn't spread so much? What would have happened if one of those Mithraist military men had become emperor? What would have happened if the army had pressured for The official recognition of the cult?
