Just for the sheer absurdity of it, a cabinet analogue...

TL #4 - Big Tent Politics!
What if the SPD and CDU formed a coalition in 1949?
1949: Kurt Schumacher (SPD - CDU) [1]
1952: Kurt Schumacher (SPD - CDU) [2]
1954: Erich Ollenhauer (SPD - CDU) [3]
1956: Gerhard Schröder (FDP - CDU) [4]
1960: Gerhard Schröder (FDP - CDU) [5]
1962: Herbert Hupka...
I think in Italy it would be more realistic to have the neo-fascist MSI win an election rather than an out-and-out military coup. The major impact would probably be within NATO and the EEC. France under, say, Jaques Massu as military dictator, would stick on to the French colonies in North...
It might also have helped that in 1992 and 1996, there were two Southerners on the Democratic ticket.
Isn't it possible that at least in the South, Perot took more votes from Bush rather than Clinton? In Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana and Tennessee, Perot had numbers high enough to spoil either...
Whoops, fixed that. Your update came while I still had the older version copied...
By the way, does anyone know how you can directly copy previous posts in the right colour format? I'm always copying it from the inserted quote, which is a bit messy.
Reichskanzler:
1918: Friedrich Ebert (SPD) [1]
1919: Philipp Heinrich Scheidemann (SPD) [2]
1920 (March): Wolfgang Kapp (military junta/Nationale Vereinigungsregierung) [3]
1920 (September): Wolfgang Kapp (DNVP) [4]
1922: Walther von Lüttwitz (DNVP) [5]
1925: Walther von Lüttwitz (DNVP) [6]...

If could be done with a serious and successful third-party candidate, who spoils one of the candidates in his/her core states. Maybe even put in a fourth one who performs relatively well, like at the 1912 POTUS elections.
I wonder if it's possible to have a candidate who wins the popular vote...
I think part of the problem in the relationship with the Western Allies was that the military resistance didn't have reputation of being reliable, due to their earlier demands and constant failures to get things done. There were people like Ewald von Kleist-Schmentzin, who approached Chamberlain...
Wouldn't it be more logical that most of them would emigrate to Namibia, since it was occupied by South Africa before? It had its share of Afrikaaner/British South Africans already under the South African occupation, and given the similar climate and vegetation, plus the smaller size of the...
Probably not at that stage, as the wheels were already in motion. And there's been much bad blood before following the Nabi Musa riots in the early 1920s and subsqeuent progroms, and the Arab revolt in 1936. If someone other than the Grand Mufti El-Husseini would have been leading the Arabs in...
How about Sudan?
Reagan supported the Islamist regime of Numeiri in the 1980s. Let's say the Soviets fully back Southern Sudanese rebel groups (back then, Uganda's Museveni, who later intervened on behalf of various South Sudan groups, was also still vaguely pro-Soviet) which leads Reagon to...
Maybe Russia was invaded by a Socialist Germany/France, and then the occupying forces set up Socialist republics there?
There's also another city renamed "Kalinin", and apparently Yekaterinburg is called "Sverdlovsk", St. Petersburg is called "Leningrad" and Samara is called "Kuybyshev". I...
Quite steampunk-y, I guess. Both aesthetics and technology would have advanced a bit slower.
In early 20th century Europe there would have been smaller armed conflicts (or even civil wars) instead of full-scale World Wars. A rising young population, but industry not rising fast enough to...
