"Title only" posts will be removed, and repeat offenders will be banned. We don't need an essay, but we do need some effort.

Describe your POD, or lay out your own hypothesis.

To increase both the quality of posts and the quality of responses, we ask that all posts provide at least a sentence or two of context. Questions like "What if Hitler used firebreathing dragons in Battle of Britain?" don't belong here. This sub is called HistoricalWhatIf for a reason. Please keep posts to only things that are possible. Notable examples of negationism include Holocaust denial, Armenian Genocide denial, Japanese war crime denial, and the denial of Soviet crimes. Engaging in historical negationism or denialism will result in a permanent ban. They have proven to be magnets for those wanting to push a distortion of historic consensus. We do not allow posts and comments about fringe hypotheses, false narratives, misunderstood or misrepresented history, genocide denial, and other disingenuous revisionism. This is entirely at the moderators' discretion.

Comments should discuss a historical topic, not advocate an agenda. Political topics are only acceptable if discussed in a historical context. No hate material, be it submissions or comments, are accepted. Personal attacks, abusive language, trolling or bigotry in any form is not allowed and will be removed. Have you ever had a question about what would have happened if history had gone a different way? Ever wonder if a historical event had gone differently? Here's the place to ask! Subreddit Rules
