What If… All About History Book of Alternative History (Volume 2)
Alternative history is a fascinating and increasingly popular topic that continues to ignite people’s imaginations many years after the real-life events in question unfolded. In this brand-new volume of What if… Book of Alternative History we speak to experts to try to uncover how the world might look or events may have unfolded if some of history’s key moments had turned out differently. Covering everything from politics and war to disasters, crises and more, read on to find out how the Second World War may have played out if the RAF had lost the Battle of Britain or if Stalingrad had fallen to the Nazis, how an Argentinian victory in the Falklands would have impacted Britain’s standing in the world and its domestic politics, and how Nixon may have dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis if he’d beaten JFK in the 1960 presidential election. We also explore how the modern world would look if 9/11 had been foiled, the impact a Napoleon victory at Trafalgar might have had and what might have been for Marilyn Monroe’s life and career if she’d not died so young, as well as what could have happened if the French Revolution had spread to Britain or the Chernobyl disaster had not been contained. Turn the page to explore these fascinating alt-history scenarios and many more.
