1960s

Neue Sonne Uber Europa is my personal take on an Axis victory scenario, spanning from 1939 to 1985 and depicting a five-way Cold War between Germany, Italy, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States. In part one, we covered the timeline of events in Europe, which can be found here...

Neue Sonne Uber Europa is my personal take on an Axis victory scenario, spanning from 1939 to 1985 and depicting a five-way Cold War between Germany, Italy, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States. This first part of the timeline will be covering events in Europe, a relatively peaceful...

For the sake of a concrete POD, let's say around March 1965. Operation Rolling Thunder still commences, but LBJ decides against putting boots on the ground, instead sticking to the current policy of military "advisors" and slowly winding down the amount of US troops in the region over the next...

My scenario is following: Nixon wins 1960 election and initiates a full-scale invasion of Cuba in 1961 after a Tonkin-like provocation instead of IRL Bay of Pigs. Soviets still errect the Berlin Wall, but utilize it as a convinient response to the American invasion. The lack of Cuban Missile...

If Hubert Humphrey had won the 1968 election, how would the Vietnam War have ended? Would it have ended earlier than OTL, or rather at the same time? How would the peace negotiations have gone?

Before the 1960 election, the frontrunner was Senator Estes Kefauver, who'd run twice before and been nominated for Vice-President. He had a knack turning the Senate into his own personal soapbox, with the unfortuate side-effect of pissing off everybody else in the room. He was a natural...

There are several threads about 1960 Nixon victory against JFK and its consequences, but I haven't seen any about potential democratic president after Nixon. Ok, let's say that Nixon victory in 1960 leads to the successful US invasion of Cuba instead of IRL Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile...

Introduction Hey everyone! I’m a big fan of this site and have been a long-time observer. I’ve wanted to do a timeline for quite some time. I’ve finally decided to take a crack at it and hope for the best! Before I begin, a little about me. I am a third-year university student and long-time...

You know the 1960s is one of my favorite decades, so much tragedy and triumph in one decade from the assassination of Kennedy and Vietnam to the Civil Right movement and the Moon Landings. Of course, this all got me thinking what if someone else was in charge instead of JFK or LBJ? I would like...

WI the Algiers putsch had succeeded? What happens to De Gaulle, etc?

(This is my first ATL, so I hope it turns out well) February 7th, 1964: While on their way to John F. Kennedy Airport, the Beatles' plane crashes into the Atlantic Ocean. There are no survivors reported. (Feel free to add whatever events or PODs you want, just as long as it's not ASB)

For context (got from Wikipedia) operation duck hook was a plan the nixon administration had thought of to end Vietnam which involved possible-nuclear bombing of military and economic targets in and around Hanoi, the mining of Haiphong harbor and other ports, saturation bombing of Hanoi and...

Inspired by Cuban Missile Crisis escalates and Fatherland/Thousand Week Reich type Axis Victory TLs. So supposed that Germany gets incredibly lucky and pushes the Soviet Union passed the Urals by 1943, soon after somehow establishing a ceasefire with the Western Allies by 1944. The Allies have...

Let's say a strong voting rights act is passed by Kennedy or LBJ (because of early Kennedy killing) in 1961. How much of the political landscape does that change particularly in the south? Would the dixiecrats be able to use the threat of going third party or party switching since the black vote...

How could the hippie/counterculture movement at least for a time become the dominate political force in US politics and secure the presidency? I'm thinking of a couple of different things. The collapse of the established political parties with both the democrats and the republicans...

WI the Cultural Revolution leads to civil war in China in the 1960's? How would this affect Vietnam, etc?
