treaty of versailles

If the Republicans in 1916, either under Teddy Roosevelt, Charles Evans Hughes, or some third unknown candidate, had won the Presidential Election, what would the 1920s of our timeline look like? I do think that Woodrow Wilson beats Hughes as President before dying in 1921 of a stroke, though I...

Planning to start a personal Alt-history scenario which includes Britain as a central power, and just wanted some thoughts on what might happen if they ended up losing, as almost every UK central power scenario or discussion entails them winning. So, in a WW1 scenario in which the ending...

IOTL there was a small movement within cabinet to try and regain Heligoland but after Lloyd-George became hesitant of the idea he dropped it in his final demands in Versailles. But what if he didn't and Heligoland was annexed by the UK after ww1? What would be the board consequences of this...

Let's say that for whatever reason Weimar Germany does survive for decades, and Germany regains its strength over time. How plausible is it that they reverse ( some of) the changes the treaty brought upon, territorially and/or otherwise?

the departure of Russia from ww1 was a massive sigh of relief for the central powers, even if America's entry prevented them from capitalizing (they tried, but failed) on it. But, what if they were unable to force Russia out of the war early, with no Bolshevik revolution? Maybe Lenin and the...

OTL, the Treaty of Versailles and the construction of Post-WW1 Europe was a complicated affair. Germany was the only Central Power to survive as a major player on european politics, but felt it was betrayed and treated unjustly, despite not actually losing that much land or power. Italy didn't...

What if the US didn't join ww1 but Germany is still defeated? Not too unlikely since the biggest contribution the US made to the war was economic anyways. How does this change the treaty of Versailles? Obviously no league of nations, but without the 14 points national self-determination will...

Charles Evans Hughes was an US politician noteworthy for being Woodrow Wilson's opponent as Republican nominee during the 1916 elections. He ran on a belligerent campaign in favor of US involvement in WWI (which would prove itself redundant as Wilson joined the war on the Entente's side anyway)...

Versailles, and more importantly, the reaction to it, are some of the key points of the twentieth century. Your goal, with ASBs enforcing your wishes, is to rewrite Versailles and the other treaties of the war to limit the likelyhood of a second great war. Note: obviously these countries peaced...

So let’s imagine that Theodore Roosevelt narrowly defeats William Howard Taft for the 1912 Republican Nomination, and goes on to defeat Woodrow Wilson in the General Election. With Roosevelt back in the Oval Office, how would World War One be affected? Could it be avoided altogether, if...

Assuming that the Russian Empire had not collapsed (perhaps the Brusilov Offensive is more effective and the Battle of Tannenburg never happens) how could they have altered the Treaty of Versailles for their benefit? -Does the Tsar want a strong Germany left over to prevent liberalism from...

Ch 1. - “His Superfluous Excellency” "[the Office of Vice President] is one anomalous insignificance and curious uncertainty." - Woodrow Wilson, c. 1885 in his book “Congressional Government”. The typical newspaper headlines the week following October 2nd, when President Wilson passed of a...

Let's say that Zimmerman never sent his telegram and Walter Schweiger doesn't torpedo the Lusitania, causing America to not enter the war. As Framce and Germany are both near collapse, a treaty is signed in the second third of 1919. A definite clause of the treaty would be all German troops...

I hope this is an acceptable discussion to have - if not, please let me know and I will pull it. My thoughts are these. Suppose that, following the October 1918 mustard gas attack in which he was hurt, Hitler had been treated in a British hospital, married a British nurse, and been somewhat...

The Great War has just ended, but it's aftermath can still be felt in the Russian Civil War and other places. The Paris/ Versailles Peace Conference now aims to create Peace for our Times, so that this devastating war truly was the War to End all Wars. To prevent future wars, a collective...

IOTL, Wilson suffered a severe stroke in October 1919 and his wife, Edith, took over many of his presidential duties. What if that stroke had instead happened in October 1918, during the last days of World War I? There are two possible outcomes to consider here: As OTL, but earlier. Wilson...

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...

Assuming that Roosevelt defeats Taft in the primaries and runs as a Republican in 1912, going on to win the election, and serving for two more terms, how would this affect America’s involvement in WW1 and what kind of Treaty of Versailles could emerge from having Roosevelt be president instead...

If the Zimmermann Telegram was earlier and so destroys the policy neutrality. Although Mexico would not attack America would this telegram during the election mean people want to attack Mexico. If Germany is still defeated what would the treaty of Versailles be like with Hughes instead of Wilson...

We've had a couple of WIs and timelines in the past about quick CP victories, all of which eventually begin to turn towards the matter of the post war peace in the event of a quick victory where the winner is still more or less intact, but I can't really recall the opposite - what would the...
