    What if The Ottomans had WON The Great Siege of Malta? No Battle of Lepanto or New Holy League

    James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Marcus Bull to discuss one of the most famous and mythologised battles of the 16th century period: The Great Siege of Malta in 1565. It was a fierce battle between empires, faiths and ideals, as the greatly outnumbered Christian Knights Hospitaller, which had been headquartered on the island for 35 years, held out against the might of the Ottoman Empire. Yet what if the Ottomans had succeeded nearly 500 years ago? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    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. Was it a necessary action that he needed to take, or a devastating mistake which cost Germany the war? It is undoubtedly one that, had he not made, the Second World War would have looked very different. This is History Undone. This episode of History Undone is sponsored by Visit Malta.

    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 #ad James 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?

    What If The US Had LOST The Battle Of The Coral Sea? The Entire Pacific War Changes | History Undone

    James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and the naval YouTuber  @Drachinifel  to discuss one of the most oft-overlooked engagements of the Second World War: the Battle of the Coral Sea. It was the world's first carrier-to-carrier battle, with no ships actually catching sight of each other across the four day conflict. While the Battle of Midway that followed has gone down in history as a key turning point and famous American victory, the team argue that it was Coral Sea that set the tone and began to change US fortunes in the Pacific.

    What If Malta Had Fallen to the Axis in WW2? Soviets Push into Europe & Nazis Rule North Africa

    James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Niall Barr to discuss one of the most overlooked, but brutal campaigns of the Second World War: The Siege of Malta. Between 1940 and 1942 the tiny Mediterranean island came under a relentless siege from the Axis and was the most bombed place on Earth. It still holds the record for longest period of sustained bombing ever: 154 consecutive days and nights. The island held firm, but if the Axis had taken hold here, how might the rest of the war have played out? This is History Undone. This episode of History Undone is sponsored by Visit Malta.
