I don't really have "favorties" per say, but these are some ones I find interesting.
What If...
Germany waited until Britain was defeated to invade the Soviet Union?
Pearl Harbor, for whatever reason, never occured?
The July 20th Plot had been successful (At least in killing Hitler)?
The Holocaust hadn't occured during the war?
The issue over Czechslovakia led to war?
No one decided to help Poland? (Unlikely, probably)
And many others. I usually answer many of these the same way.
We'd all be speaking German.

They did. To clarify, they advanced a small way into what in MH is called Provence and southern Burgundy.
What if..... Crete was conquerd.
It was. The German Airborne attacked Crete and succeeded in capturing the island.
What if Sea Lion was successfull?
What if Germany failed Fall Gelb?
What if Germany stood victorious over the beaches of Normandy in 1944?
What if the Soviet Union invaded Germany in 1941?
What if Hitler didnt commit suicide in 1945?
What if Germany retained it's democratic government and allied with Britain and France?

Alright, back to the land of the serious.
What if...
China immediatley retaliated to the Japanese Invasion of Manchuria?
What if Other nations came to China's aid sooner?
What if Other nations did more to help Ethiopia?
What if Italy, rather than Germany, had started World War 2?
What if YOU were the one making the decisions?
DEMONS
What if the UK, France and/or Sweden joined Finland in the Winter War?
What if the Germans and the Finns attacked Leningrad?
What if Germany conquered Murmansk?
What if the USSR couldn't have stopped the Germans at the gates of Moscow?
What if Japan and the USSR had been at war 1939-1945?
What if you could try out all these in a game?

Well, honestly I think he does; SHARK888 looks like it could be Maky, I haven't seen enough of his posts to make me fully believe he is. I'm not about to condemn an innocent man.

What if some of these ideas were turned into scenarios?
I think someone should make a scenario where a country is defeated but the mod has coding so that country keeps annoyingly coming back, I think the name for the country should be named something like, oh I don't know... Makarov? (I just came up with that name randomly, it didn't come from some annoying troll that we know of...)

He can't be Makarov. Unlike Shark, Makarov rarely used capital letters.

Then some other nut job would probably take power. And he might just be smarter than Hitler. He might just lead Germany to world domination. In short...
We'd all be speaking German. No, wait, sorry.
Wir wurden alle Deutsch sprechen.

I disagree, I think we all might be speaking Russian. Stalin was just a few years too late to make the grab for global domination

So what if Lenin had never been dislodged from power? Or Stalin had never taken over later anyway? What if Rommel had won North Africka? How would WW2, or WW1 for that matter, have worked out, if way back in the 1800s, the Confederates had won what they call the American Civil War?

The logistics of military world domination of a single nation make it impossible (outside of video games and TV/movies)
The only reason the British Empire succeeded for as long as it did was its technological, industrial, and monetary advantage over non-industrialized nations
The concept of Germany or USSR taking over the world is nothing more than a dream of dictators that could never be fulfilled
If either of those countries tried to conquer too much, the empire would collapse whether it would be from external pressure or internal pressure (or more likely a combination of both). See the historical case of Nazi Germany for a example
The only real questions are. When/why these wars happen. How long these wars occur. How much suffering is caused by them. What countries do the "Great Powers" want to help, invade, conquer, or liberate.

Or, the Roman Empire. Look what happened to them.

The Roman Empire collapsed from both internal and external problems. Inflation and corruption, paired with weak leaders and a lack of pride for the "empire" caused the internal part. The external part was the nomadic barbarians from the east who began attacking the German provinces, forcing the people who lived there to a safer area: Roman territory.

I was going to do Russian, but this forum won't let you use weird characters like that. I really just wanted an excuse to use a different language.
