  1. 1916: Future despot die-off

    Probably ASB. And yes, clearly huge differences. German fascism looks entirely different without Hitler - maybe no Holocaust, or a radically different one - and Russian communism likely doesn't happen.

  2. WI: Iroquois ally with the United States during the Revolutionary War

    They would eventually be wiped out as in OTL anyway. The federal government broke pretty much every treaty it ever signed with a Native American tribe, American ally or not. Perhaps their extermination is pushed back by a decade or so, but it still happens.

  3. Ron Paul Elected President in 2008

    I understand that this is borderline ASB, but for the purposes of the timeline let's say that the Republican Party convention ends up being brokered following an exceptionally close race, and Paul emerges as a compromise candidate, and then goes on to beat Obama following the financial crisis in...

  4. 2004: Kerry Defeats Bush

    I really just don't see Kerry winning the 2008 election. If he withdraws from Iraq, he gets blamed for that quagmire and failing to "stay the course" as Bush urged. Hurricane Katrina still happens, and even if Kerry's FEMA handles it better than the way it was handled in OTL, it still would've...

  5. Boundaries of a World War II-winner Germany?

    Map from Harry Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies. Keep in mind, this takes place in 2010 and a Third World War occurred in the 1970s that led to the fall of the U.S.

  6. Will FDR drop the bomb?

    Agreed. FDR was willing to win that war at any cost and was aware of the Manhattan Project from its outset, whereas Truman wasn't.

  7. Whites win.

    Perhaps the Romanovs are installed ceremonially, akin to many modern monarchies today. The Whites can use that to placate the Tsarist faction, while not angering the majority of Russians who despised the Tsar.

  8. 2004: Kerry Defeats Bush

    I think McCain still wins the nomination in '08, perhaps even having an easier time of it than he did in OTL. He could have used Bush's single term to argue that, had the party gone with him (McCain) in 2000, the Republican Party would still control the White House. I'm also thinking he beats...

  9. AHC: United States politics dominated by class, not identity politics.

    I think the POD would have to be well before the 20th century for that to happen. Racial discord was ingrained in American culture from the star because of the sheer ethnic diversity of the United States, along with the proliferation of slavery and massacre of the Native Americans.

  10. Codename and Operation Game

    A plot by far right American militias to assassinate First Lady Hillary Clinton in the early 1990s in the midst of the Second American Civil War. Operation Field Mouse

  11. 2004: Kerry Defeats Bush

    Suppose Ohio turns blue in the 2004 election, thus elevating John Kerry to the White House and making President Bush a single-termer. How does this affect the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? Is the federal response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 handled better? Does the U.S. still suffer the onset...

  12. How would Sweden become a colonial power?

    A victory in the Great Northern War would certainly help; perhaps even going back to the Thirty Years' War, have an even more lopsided Swedish victory.

  13. Is OTL Civil War a worst case scenario victory for the North?

    I've recently begun to think that the way the American Civil War unfolded in real life might have been the worst case scenario in which the North could have had while still actually winning the war. The Confederacy kept the fight going for four years with less manpower and resources than the...

  14. AHC: Defeat Ronald Reagan in 1980

    I think people tend to make too big a deal of the Reagan campaign finding Carter's debate preparation book. I think the poor economy, astronomically high gas prices, and Iranian hostage crisis were what cost Carter the election. One way I see Reagan losing is if Ted Kennedy secures the 1980...

  15. WI: 50,000 Killed On 9/11

    I can't imagine the American response being much more overwhelming than it already was; post-9/11 America saw increased enlistment rates and overwhelming public support for the invasion of Afghanistan. I think the only way to make the American response much more extreme would be to include the...

  16. 1998 Iranian Invasion of Afghanistan

    The U.S. definitely tries to play both sides of the conflict as Iran and the Taliban clash. Pakistan surely feels threatened and intervenes against the Iranians, creating a major regional war that NATO might eventually have to sort out a la the Bosnian War in the early 1990s.

  17. The Billy Goat is Dead

    I've always felt bad for the Cubs. They deserve a World Series, can't wait to see where this timeline goes!

  18. WI: Alternate-led WW2 Germany

    I'm assuming this fictional leader - let's call him Hans - probably doesn't attempt to invade the Soviet Union. That leads to interesting implications for the Battle of Britain, as the Germans can focus their full military strength against the British. If Hans isn't espousing the same...

  19. A Man Is Finished When He Quits - The Early Presidency of Richard M. Nixon

    Great work! I love the attention to detail and how you summarize some changes at the bottom of each post. Keep it up!

  20. Detroit Olympics?

    Checking Wikipedia, Mexico City won by a pretty comfortable margin. I don't really see Detroit every winning out.
