    Invasion of US by Mexico during WW1. The Germans sent a letter to Mexico and asked them too, but it didn't happen. Instead it was intercepted by the US around the same time as the Lusitania Sinking.

    Mexico was fighting a civil war then I highly doubt they could of done anything except get conquered.

    Lol The leftist forces still would have lost, Arango and Zapata's forces were not enough, Arango died because of his Political position later anyways. It wouldn't have changed anything.

    What if the USSR never had the Great Officer Purdge.

    Augustus vs. Caesar vs. Alexander all against each other. Same number of troops, their choosing, flatland, no forts or cover.

    In a Hypothetical World, What would happen if Hitler was born 12 years earlier and rose to power the same way he actually did. Also what if in that World, The US decided to carry out their War Plan Red (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Red) along with the Germans.
    Axis: USA, Germany, Italy, Japan, all of their protectorates and magnate states.
    Allies: Same as history without USA.

    Apparently this actually happened. At Carrhea (the defeat of Crassus) a lot of Romans were captured. After that they fought as mercenaries for the Parthians. There are Chinese reports of a foreign unit fighting in a fish-scale formation.

    That's absolutely fascinating. I'd love to know what that encounter must have been like, if it actually happened.

    I think the Axis could have done a lot of damage, but in the long term, the SU would invade the Gerries, and relations between the USA and the Germans would quickly decline because of ideologies.

    The sky would explode because of the epicness of that battle.

    Wikipedia gives us an idea of what the battle must have been like, but it could also just be the Parthians testing out some Roman tactics.

    That would have some effect on the short term, but I don't believe it would do anything on the long term.

    St. Petersburg was just too well defended, but if they would have taken it, the Russians probably wouldn't hesitate to counter the attack as soon as they could. Maybe they'd have tried to surround the troops.

    That probably wouldn't have a real effect. The US would just counter the attack, maybe losing a few thousand men trying, but the Japanese wouldn't really have a real chance of keeping it.

    What if (I know this wouldn't be possible because of the pillarisation, but who cares?) the Dutch government would be overtaken by a communist group of men? Would that really change the outcome of the Cold War?
