  • What if Germany DID NOT Declare war on the US in 1941? The atomic bomb is dropped on Berlin
    James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Dr Klaus Schmider to discuss the monumental decision that has been debated by historians for decades: Adolf Hitler's declaration of war against the US after Pearl Harbour.

  • What if Britain had made peace with Germany in 1940? "A DISASTER for the world"
    This episode of History Undone is sponsored by Visit Malta. To find out more information, head to visitmalta.com #adJames Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Nigel Jones to discuss what could have happened had Britain sued for peace with Nazi Germany after the disastrous fall of France in May 1940. There were some in Britain who were certainly keen on the idea, but the appointment of Winston Churchill, not Lord Halifax as prime minister was just one reason that assured this alternate timeline did not happen. If it had, how would the world view Britain, would we be looking at a Nazi dominated continent and does Operation Barbarossa even succeed? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast.

  • What if the US had never joined WWI? The 20th Century as we know it does NOT happen
    James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Alexander Watson to discuss one of the most profound what ifs of 20th century history - the decision by the US to enter the First World War in 1917. Without the nation's involvement does Germany rule much of Eastern Europe, do you still see the rise of the Nazis and are the US and UK allies today? This is History Undone.
