What if Napoleon sent a French Count to the Qing Dynasty shortly before invading Russia, basically asking the Chinese if they want to invade Russia with the French?

What if Napoleon sent a French Count to the Qing Dynasty shortly before invading Russia, basically asking the Chinese if they want to invade Russia with the French?

It's like the Zimmermann Telegram of the 1800s.

What if the Jamestown Colony declared its independence from England 166 years before the Thirteen Colonies after they felt neglected in 1610?

A rogue Virginia Company director named James Allison (b. 1572) does this, declares the formation of the "Union of Jamestown" with him as the "President-for-Life", and renames the loose band of Company soldiers within Jamestown into the "Jamestownian Guards" which is supported by 48.4% of Jamestown residents. What would realistically happen to James Allison and the Union of Jamestown?

Every single time a DPR or LPR resident does a freak-out in the EU, Southeast Asia, or the Caucasus, they're suddenly back to being Ukrainians.

A random unnamed Viltrumite noclips into reality but keeps up her "diplomatic to violence" mission because she doesn't know. Could our world defeat or even deradicalize her?

She's a 5'10" 649-year-old Viltrumite who is considered a chump inside the Invincible verse and would be one tapped by folks like Nolan. Obviously, I just used the soldier for depiction, and you need way more than an assault rifle to scratch a Viltrumite. Let's say she finds herself in the United States within rural North Dakota. Are we screwed?

What if Otto Ernst Remer turned West Germany into the Fourth Reich as Chancellor and the Allies somehow tolerated it out of exhaustion and subconsciously viewed the Fourth Reich as an excellent harmless buffer against the USSR in 1951?

Socialist Reich Party - Wikipedia

Essentially, the Allies were tired of it all, moved all of their stuff to France, and turned Berlin into a UN Protectorate, while subconsciously viewing the Fourth Reich as a harmless buffer state against the USSR because the West German Border Service didn't own anything deadlier than Armored Jeeps. Also, Remer drops his surprising Russophilia (look it up) to be more supportable in the minds of Ex-Nazis. How would Remer's "Pocket Reich" operate with subtracted territories and only light infantry?

A Viltrumite Invasion with Thragg (Invincible) vs Tamaranean Defenders with Starfire (DC Prime Earth)

Who would win this situation with an explanation?

What if an Ultranationalist Japan with a strengthened JSDF attempted to reinstate the Japanese Empire after WWII?

Everybody talks about Germany and the Fourth Reich, but this is barely talked about within these spaces. Let's say that an Independent Politician named Aruto Kotani who's either an IJA veteran or a descendant of an IJA veteran becomes the Prime Minister of Japan between the 1960s and the 2020s. He's an Ultranationalist who demands to bloat the JSDF to the maximum so they can take back Japan's rightful territories from North Korea to East Timor and orders American soldiers to be eliminated inside their own bases. How does Aruto Kotani's Government turn out?

What if there was a White American Cartel in Mexico who showed up from the North and obviously has a bad relationship with all the Native Mexican Cartels?

They're known as the Full Moon Cartel, and they're extremely white, alongside having firearms and tactical outfits they acquired from their local ballistics stores before relocating down South.

What if Asian-Americans formed their own Liberia called Fredonia in 1867 after President Johnson signed an act that banned all Asians from the US?

When the Fredonian Republic was founded, the founders legitimately had surplus Union stuff, which made the Fredonian Army the strongest within Indochina. A divide between the Americo-Fredonians and the Native Asians quickly formed as well and this is still felt today.

What if subreddits were democratic and had its mods elected into modship with 4 to 8 year terms?

I guess Steve Huffman and Aaron Schwartz viewed themselves as the contemporary Founding Fathers.

What if the German-American Volksbund tried an American Anschluss inside the US while Germany sent a Kriegsmarine Fleet headed towards the US East Coast to "look at the situation"?

If you don't know, the German-American Volksbund were the individuals behind the 1939 Madison Square Garden Rally, and an Ex-GAV leader told interviewers in 1956 about how the GAV wanted an American Anschluss inside the US. "Helen Vooros, the Ex-Volksbund youth leader, claimed she was taught that the Volksbund aimed for an Austrian-like Aschluss within the US, and the Nazis recognised Fritz Kuhn as its Reichskommissar." What if this legitimately did occur?

What if an Ex-Soviet Official adopted a Russian infant and conditioned him into thinking he's unironically Vladimir Lenin as we speak?

This Ex-Soviet Official, Nikolai Kozlov (63), wants Vladimir Lenin II to overthrow the Putinist Government once he's 27, and bring Marxist-Leninist Socialism back into the Russian State.

What if Native American Reservations were "Danger Zones" in the US with large Anti-American Militias that camp out within their bases and control territory, aka territories which the Feds don't control?

Basically, imagine the Navajo Nation as if it was a DPR/LPR-like situation, where 86% of its territories were controlled by Navajo Militias under "Free Navajoland" where territories within "Free Navajoland" have their own establishments. The local Tribal Police either can't or don't want to combat these Militias. Now imagine this applies to other Native American Reservations as well. The US Military only acts defensively since they want to dodge "history repeats itself" accusations. This isn't a Native American hate bit, I just think it's an interesting scenario.

What if actual deaths needed to be shown on screen because of a supernatural curse?

In this timeline, when humans created the first movies, Anubis was so offended at them playing wars and deaths that he forced movies with those scenes to have actual deaths or everybody involved would suddenly die of heart attacks. It doesn't matter if it's Jason Voorhees stabbing teenagers or Vasily Zaitsev sniping German anti-snipers, as all of them need to actually die. What would society look like here?

What if Pope Leo XIV established the "National Vatican Army (NVA)" as a contemporary force that wears camouflage and uses assault rifles, tanks, artillery, and helicopters?

It's submitted under a Papal Decree and this essentially leads to the isolation and fall of the Papal Guards. When asked, Pope Leo XIV says that it's to catch up with the times.

Our Earth is teleported into the Star Wars universe about 480 miles away from Endor. How do we fair as a location in the Star Wars universe?

We still have things like the atomic bomb or the atmosphere, it’s just that we live in the Star Wars universe now instead of the actual solar system. It's not who would win between Earth and the Galactic Empire, but rather how do we fair inside the Star Wars universe as a whole. If the New Republic or the Rebel Alliance visits us, they will see real things happening, like the Iranian War. RIP to the ISS though, since they're quite literally the last humans in real life.

Edit: I'm stupid, imagine I said 250k miles instead of 480 miles.

What if Josef Mengele adopted large amounts of German-Austrian infants, raised them to think they're literally Hitler until they reach 10, sent them to adoption centers within countries that have lots of Germans, and then killed their foster dads at 13 to replicate Hitler's trauma?

Yes, it's the Boys from Brazil reference and Mengele doesn't care if these Hitlers control West Germany, Switzerland, or Brazil, as he just wants the Fourth Reich.
