Blumetti has used his extensive knowledge of history to explore
alternative histories. He has not stretched the imagination, but
rather tried to explode alternative outcomes that actually could
have happened. In 1769 Napoleon's parents almost fled Corsica to
the American colonies, by way of England, but decided to remain on
their island. But what would have happened if they had settled in
New York, just a few months before Napoleon was born? Blumetti also
explores what might have happened if the Germans had attacked
Moscow, instead of Stalingrad, in 1942, or what if the Japanese had
entered the Second World War in 1940, instead of 1941. What if the
Allies, in World War One, were victorious in 1916, or if Bismarck
had united Germany and Austria in 1866? These and other counter
factorial histories are explored in What If?: Alternative
Historical Tielines.
