I wish I could find that Army Times article for you. Basically, their poll found support for the GOP among the military is at an all time low, something like 40% if I remember right. As a general rule there are far more vets who've run as Dems than Repubs. It wouldn't surprise me if independents...
But it's not in Latin America. Just sharing part of the name of the region means little.
And many Cubans, Dominicans, and Puerto Ricans would disagree with you.
The most likely prospects involve a victorious Confederacy. A winning CSA might enable Napoleon III to defeat Juarez. An...
Actually it comes straight from Haig himself, from an interview on This Week With David Brinkley right after Oliver Stone's Nixon came out. George Will was esp upset over the claim in the film, and Haig was brought on to refute it. But Haig stunned everyone by saying it actually did happen...
Watergate happens earlier, but Agnew's own corruption is not discovered. Nixon takes his own life, as Alexander Haig worried he might have prevented IOTL. He discovered Nixon drunk and incoherent one night at the height of Watergate, with a bottle of pills and a loaded revolver. Haig took the...
You might have more credibility to your claim if you didn't use the propaganda term "VC". Their real name was the NLF and like the name points out, they were a broad front, a coalition that including a minority of Communists among them. Most of the so called VC weren't Cong/Communist.
This...
If I recall right, the Shah's son also made the offer to return to the throne following Khomeini's death. It was mostly ignored, except for some scorn.
Part of the problem with your POD is that there's no reason given for all these groups to stand with the Shah's son. The regime and its...
Bush dies from illness or accident between 9-11 and the 2004 election and Cheney becomes pres. Kucinich becomes the VP choice of a moderate Dem who sees him as a way to secure his left flank. Said moderate Dem wins in 2004 only to die from accident or illness. Seriously, I can't think of any...
The first was three decades in the future, the second about a decade away. But there had been US filibusters since the 1790s, and the warhawks were a strong enough faction.
I agree though, that it's unlikely Spain would be the main target. There's still so much anti-English sentiment in the...
IOTL public opinion was split down the middle on the issue, and the vote passed narrowly. Twice the vote could have gone either way, once in comittee, and once in the general vote.
Jackson would probably try to remove the Five Tribes anyway. But in this century, Congress was considered...
Perhaps US leaders (and that part of the business community backing some wars) simply do as they've done with the current Iraq War, turn to mercenaries, so called contractors. Really, that's how Bush was able to avoid turning to the draft, which would've made the war unpopular in a NY minute...
A much smaller prison population also means smaller numbers of Blacks and Latinos barred from voting. The most dramatic change might be in Florida, where a majority of Black males are unable to vote. So FL goes to Gore in 2000, unambiguously...and all that leads to.
Hip hop would have far less...
The only way I could see is if somehow the Earth simply doesn't contain much in the way in nuclear material, or it's all very inaccessible. And not being a geologist, I couldn't tell you if that idea is itself utterly ASB or not.
You might then see chemo and bio weapons taking nukes' place...
The Shawnee themselves don't believe in this myth about the curse. It's about as believable as those stories by L Ron Hubbard where he claims the Blackfoot made him a blood brother.
IRL, Indian spiritual leaders don't put curses on anyone. Any healer doing so would be regarded as a witch and...
A syncretic mixed belief is not so hard. When the Prince Regent leaves Portugal for Brazil because of the threat of Napoleon, have him fall ill and be cured by one of healers in the Afro Brazilian faiths.
But "shamanic" traditions are more difficult, largely because they generally aren't...
If Forest flees, who is most likely to become the head of the KKK? George Gordon?
Any others whose flight would be beneficial to the minority population and general peace in the southern states?
(Yes, I've heard the argument Forest "quit the Klan because it got too extreme." I don't buy it.)
