The One Millionth "People from alternate universes"-Thread

Just for the sake of fun such threads are bringing, lets start another thread. I think you know the rules. BTW, PoD is January 1st, 1900.

Heinz "Henry" Kissinger: First Jewish chancellor of Germany from 1969-1975. He was also the first chancellor from the German Democratic Party, that ran at this time on a progressive platform (In terms of social, foreign and economic politics). He became a bit of a start, as he was often around with the celebrities of his time. After he left the office in 1975, he maintained a sizable amount of influence within German politics.

Joseph Goebbels: Founder of the Goebbels Movie Studios in Babelsberg. His movies were especially favoured by the royal family, as they were patriotic, as well as embracing Prussian militarism. His movies were also notorious for their subtle racism and antisemitism. After his death in 1947, the studio became moderate on that issue and solely concentrated on making patriotic "Heimatfilme".

Heinrich Himmler: Infamous cult leader of the "Sons of Thor". The Sons of Thor were an extremist group, that wanted to create a "Germanic nation under the law of Thor". They staged several terrorist acts in the 1930's, such as the assasination of several high-ranked member of the novelty, the church or the Reichstag. In 1939, they fled to Helgoland, where they were quickly attacked by Reichswehr forces. Himmler and his group died in the infamous "Battle of Helgoland".

Adolf Hitler: Famous columnist in several German newspapers in the 1920s-40s era. Known for his hatred of Jews, Communists and Gypsies. Blamed the loss in WW1 on a Jewish conspiracy, and supported president Ludendorf's reforms and the introduction of a Junker Military Dictatorship in Germany 1935. Vigorously backed the Beck regime and WW2, and blamed the German defeat in 1944 on "another Jewish conspiracy". Worked on a Berlin radio station in 1946, but never got used to leaving Bavaria behind. Had a serious alcohol problem by then, and drank himself to death in November 1947.

Richard Nixon: 2nd director of the FBI. Joined the bureau in 1937 and quickly caught the eye of director J. Edgar Hoover. Became Hoover's #2 in 1950 and took over as director in 1958 after Hoover's sudden death from a heart attack.

Reinhard Heydrich - Infamous serial Rapist who prowled Stuttgart. He had previously been in the German Navy during the Great War, and began his spree just before he was discharged. He was executed in Berlin Penitentiary after being convicted of raping 20 women.

Bill Blythe-Cook County treasurer in the 1980s heavily involved in the Daley machine politics. He was appointed Labor secretary during the Simon administration but later fired in an ensuing scandal over allegations of cronyism and rumors of laundering taxpayer money for sex tourism.

William McKinley: President of the United States, 1897-1905. He is credited with major expansion of the United States after the Spanish-American War (1898) and with beginning the Progressive Era. After his wife died in early 1903, McKinley largely retreated from public life for the remainder of his Presidency, and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt took on more responsibilities, beginning what has been called the "Imperial Vice Presidency." He campaigned for Roosevelt in the election of 1904, which Roosevelt won handily. After his Presidency, McKinley campaigned for racial equality and served in various capacities on behalf of the NAACP until his death of natural causes in 1917. He is today seen by most historians as a good-to-great President, though he is overshadowed by his successor.

Let's Have A Go...

Tsar George I - younger brother of Edward VIII, King of England from 1936-1972. George was married to the Princess Anastasia of Russia after the Romanov family fled Russia in February 1917.

When the monarchy was restored after the fall of the Bolshevik Revolution, George was chosen as Tsar as Tsarevich Alexei had died in a car accident in France in 1928.

George is widely considered to have been a successful ruler of Russia and the Anglo-Russian Alliance was a key element in the defeat of Junker Germany in 1944. He worked well with successive Social Democrat and Agrarian Party Governments.

George died in 1952 and his son Nicholas became the Tsar.

Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili: President of the Transcaucasian Federation in the 1930's and 1940's best known for turning the regime into one with a Georgian Nationalist character. He was ousted in a coup during the ill-conceived war with Iran in 1943.

George VII King of Great Britain and Ireland, 1972-2009. Born in 1939, he died at the age of 70. Known for his raucous youth and cleaning up of his act once he took the throne in 1972, for much of the 1970s he was seen as a out-of-touch maverick who rarely spoke well at public events and was embarrassing Britain and the Empire. The Powell government struggled to overturn this perception, but matters were taken out of their hands after the death of his beloved wife Astrid in 1982 after a brief battle with cancer. The King received great public sympathy and delivered an emotional televised eulogy for his Queen in May of that year. After this, he disappeared from public life for a short time and returned a changed, more sombre man.He gradually earned more respect from the people. It is said that his live message to the first Briton on the Moon, Tim Berners-Lee, in 1989 was what finally won over all but the most fringe republicans to supporting him as King. He continued to represent Britain overseas and at home, citing his proudest moment as the securing of the 2012 Olympic Games for London in 2005. He died in 2009 of pneumonia, and his sudden death saw an outpouring of grief not seen since the death of Winston Churchill.

Edward IX King of Great Britain and Ireland since 2009. Born in 1969, he is a far shier man than his father, and has been (affectionately) nicknamed 'The Quiet Man' by the press. His love of golf has seen a recent resurgence in the sport's popularity, as has his eccentric habit of inviting all visiting heads of state to join him for a round at St Andrews (a minor diplomatic incident was sparked in early 2010 when he and the Ottoman Sultan reportedly had a heated argument over a missing ball). His approval ratings consistently run in the low 60s, with the Guardian's Royal Correspondent Polly Toynbee describing him as 'a man who, aware he will never be a great King, seems happy to to his best to be a decent one'. His marriage to Claire Hawes, a commoner 7 years his junior, sparked minor outrage at the time and set a new precedent for Royal Families across Europe. His defiance of custom was only enabled by his father's steadfast support for him and the Patten government's refusal to interfere. 'What,' remarked the Prime Minister, 'would have become of us if we had forced Edward VIII to abdicate, as some lunatics insisted at the time?'. He and Queen Claire have two young children, the oldest of which is George, Prince of Wales.

Barack Hussein Obama II: Current President of the Dominion of Kenya. Took office in 2002. He was only the second dark-skinned president in the history of Kenya despite their ethnic majority.

Michael Moore-Famed union organizer who was elected president of the AFL-CIO in 2009. He led the second great sitdown strike in the winter of 2008/09. Was able to pioneer union organizer through his very succesful usage of multimedia presentations to recruit new members and created a historic resurgence in Union membership during the 2008 economic meltdown.

Leon Trotsky - After the fall of the bolshevik revolution, he fled to Latin America, where he built up an Mercenary troops called "Global Brigade". They were responsible for many sabotage acts in Latin America during the 30's. He died peacefully in 1949, but not after teaching his successor, a certain Ernesto Guevara
