In 1932 FDR signs an executive order establishing a national athletic training complex in California to get American athletes ready for the Olympic Games; four years later the first class of graduates from that academy run the table at the '36 Summer Games in Berlin, and from then on the training center becomes a key part of a broader government effort to make Americans more physically fit.

The "flower child" movement of the 1960s brings about a radical change in the way Americans view the human body, and as a result most if not all of the taboos about public nudity fall by the wayside before 1973.

The Guelph Empire
The former British colonies in North America do not form a federal republic but a parliamentary monarchy with a branch of House of Hanover as the new ruling house and former general Washington as the first prime minister. This butterflies Ernest Augustus becoming King of Hanover in 1837 away and thus the Kingdom of Hanover falls to the House of Brunswick, reuniting Guelph estates for the first time in centuries.

Robert Joe Long does not have a personality changing accident but a career as NCO in the US military. In 1980 he is transfered to the Pentagon and uses his new position to spy for the USSR. In 1982 he is unmasked but manages to flee into the Soviet Embassy and then into the USSR. In 1984 he has a minor accident in Leningrad which changes his personality and he becomes a serial rapist/killer who haunts Leningrad until his capture and execution in 1994.

In my defence, you did post the name in this thread and a matching description in another. I don't think you should really repost it just because you're unhappy with that i posted.

I dunno, it doesn't really bother me much. Carry on.

Hugo Chavez: American Lenin
After the Arabian Revolution of the 1970s plunges the world into a second Great Depression, Hugo Chavez, the young son of Venezuelan immigrants in Detroit, becomes a prominent leader of a newly radicalized American labor movement. Portrayed as a public enemy by the embattled Reagan administration, Chavez becomes one of the most polarizing figures of his age, and his ideals of "Washingtonian socialism" shape American politics for years to come.

In 2007, the wealthy Safi Family buy the rights to have the opening stage of the Tour de France staged in Kabul. The French press cry outrage and accuse the organizers of being "bribed" into this "act of folly". The 10km time trial around the historical centre of the city was a resounding success, despite the hundreds of riot police and private security services needed to secure the area from possible terrorist threats.
