    Discussion Timeline Post-1900 
    Oh so many people have already speculated about the Wehrmacht attacking instead of halting at Dunkirk in May 1940. If it happened, it'd be the first big encirclement battle of WW2, but in the west instead of the East. Here's my rough draft: May 25th - The News of Dunkirk's Fall causes Panic...
