If you want /k/ alternate history autism so good that it will RUIN you for other authors in the genre:
The Years of Rice and Salt, by Kim Stanley Robinson.

The premise is that The Black Death was much, much deadlier to Europeans, giving a >99% mortality rate. Without Europeans to steer history, the world powers become the Muslim world, Travancore and China, as well as a free North American and Mesoamerican Alliance led by an escaped samurai freedom fighter from conquered Japan.

It all comes to a head in the 8th chapter, which is... one of the most brutal, metal, awesome things I've ever read. I've read that chapter dozens and dozens of times, it is indescribable.

But I'll try:
World War I happens, only in East Asia.
You have waves of screaming, suicidal, drugged up Muslim fantatics in gas masks raging across trenches in the Gansu Corridor (North-central China).
Barrier troops, crematorium trains, bunker buster shells, corrosive poison gas.
Muslims shelling Mt. Everest a few hundred meters lower so the tallest mountain will be Muslim.
Muslims blowing up mountain passes in the Himalayas to bury entire divisions.
Breaching glacial dams on the Indian side of the mountains to flood entire armies in the canyons.
Finally the LINK UP with the based, proud, non-shameful jeets of this world (just shows how based a world without Br*tish could truly be, VGH).
Mourning for the destroyed Bodi tree.

It's fucking incredible, brilliantly-written, and /k/ as fuck. The main characters keep getting reincarnated in different eras, beginning to remember their previous lives, and trying to break the cycle. It's a literary device, but it's pretty cool.
I'd recommend the hell out of it
