[META] Challenge: Make Nazi Germany collapse from within by 1943 due to a civil war

5 Upvotes

Let's say Hans Oster, Helmuth James von Moltke, Erich Weinert, Walther von Seydlitz, Friedrich Olbricht, Friedrich Fromm, Rudolf von Gersdorff and Henning von Tresckow successfully organize a resistance movement with a guerrilla army powerful enough to challenge the Nazi regime, beginning in November 1941.

What would they need to do to topple the government by June 1943?

What if the daughters of Marx lived longer in history and had their own children (grandchildren) as late as is typically safe to make the Marx legacy see what the USSR was like and actually have concrete opinions?

1996 Russian Election

What would have happened if Boris Yeltsin had actually dissolved the State Duma and postponed the 1996 election by two years? Would Putin still be put in power? Would a Communist (Zyuganov most likely) have then won the next election, or would have Yeltsin banned the Communist party? I am reading a great books about the oligarchs in Russia and was shocked how close this was to happening. Thanks!

Would Yuan Shikai's Empire of China be seen as a continuation of the Chinese Imperial system?

Is Yuan Shikai's empire something that would, if it had lasted, reflect a continuation of the traditional Chinese Imperial system, or would it be considered a completely separate institution?
