  1. US response to financial crisis in 2008

    How would the US react to the current financial crisis if the USSR still existed or if China had not embarked on economic liberalisation? Would any form of massive government intervention by the US be seen as an admission of the failure of capitalism? Some commentators are saying this now...

  2. Kaiser Bill never becomes emperor

    Kaiser Wilhelm II, while still a prince, drowns in a boating accident when being taught to row by the British ambassadors wife.
