The problem is that German population was worn out from six years of grinding war, for continuous insurgency you need a fairly broad support base and they don't have that anymore, best they can hope is an uptick in attacks early on and then activity gradually dies down as their men are hunted...

Truman had more problems with MacArthur than just his nuke enthusiasm. He was insubordinate and publicly so. Plus he loved to blame the problems of his own making on everyone else, including Truman.

There probably wouldn't be any support for Macedonian nationalism, also no support for communists in Greece and when Hoxa breaks up with Soviet Union, they have a springboard for a bloodier version of Hungarian revolution.

They were fully reliant on goodwill of the Germans for their existence, with fewer Partisans and illegal Chetniks, the Germans have fewer reasons to tolerate their existence.

Not really, another communist steps into his role, the biggest change would be after the war as Yugoslavian leadership would be mo subservient to Moscow. You also can't destroy the Partisans, their units all over the country, number of their units were destroyed and many leaders killed, yet...

A 1945 war between Austria and Hungary over who would rule the newly created AH would be an interesting development. I wonder if Croats would do Jelačić 2.0 and try to march against Budapest.

Who takes over the Western part? Former quislings? Or do you bring in the king (that ought to be funny)? In any case you will have to massacre whole lot of people to make it work. There is also no way for all of Bosnia being controlled by WY, even after pulling much of their forces for...

Timeline where Wellesley is as household name as Napoleon is OTL, is certainly an interesting one.

Operation Lea succeeds. In 1947 the French launched airborne assault to capture or kill Viet Minh leadership, which set up headquarters in the town Bac Kan. While paras captured the town, the defenders delayed them long enough for the leadership to escape. But what if leadership (Ho Chi Minh...

Nikola Tesla making money? There is ASB and then there is unbelievable ASB. He was scientific genius but there were fields of life where he was hopeless at. He sends back a Apis, because Apis thinks he can change things, while Tesla has poor opinion of his own capabilities, while also needing to...

He is scientist, not a man of direct action.

Dragutin Dimitrijević - Apis was a time traveller/self insert. In the original timeline there were several half baked plots to overthrow king Alexandar, but the one in 1912 required AH to militarily intervene and afterwards the Serbian king was but a AH puppet. After Franz Ferdinand took the...

Delay collapse of Soviet Union by a few years and Poland would at least have a nuclear power plant, which is still far cry from being nuclear capable, but it's a start.

Nuke for Trinity test is assembled in Los Alamos and something goes horribly wrong, killing many key personnel and destroying much crucial equipment, but also shaking American trust in stability of nuclear weapons. Thus the final stage of nuclear weapons program is being rebuilt, with efforts to...

Do they also get a delivery mechanism? Because in 1945 they kind of lacked heavy bombers.

Ba'athist regime in Syria survived the death of Hafez al Assad and his eldest son, not to mention the uncivil war since 2011. It's possible there would be a bit of succession struggle after Sadams death, however nobody but his closest toadies wanted that schizo Uday as a ruler. With strong...

Would be Henry II of Castille dies in the Battle of Najera. Since Castillian support was crucial in eventual French victory in the Hundred Years War, how long would the war go on if there was no alliance with Castille.

Perhaps his health issues start sooner and he abdicates in favour of his son. Changes of monarch tend to give subjects hope of better times, so Reza would have a few years of breathing space, with USA less in hurry to throw him under bus. There will still be massive problems, like poverty of...

Napoleon Bonaparte is picked for the Laperouse expedition and shares it's fate. The butterflies, I reckon the siege of Toulon takes a bit longer and royalist uprising in Paris would still be defeated, but mayor changes might start with the Italian campaign, where the French will probably do...

An interesting alternate history article, apparently it was originally posted as 1st April joke. CF-121 Redhawk Program: The True Story Behind Canada’s Purchase of 30 Soviet Built MiG-21 Fishbed Fighters - The Aviation Geek Club
