  1. US Presidential Elections: 1908-present

    We're still waiting. :D My only complaint with this AU so far is the idea of Hughes going on the pro-war bandwagon with TR after Titanic sinks. I assume that in this AU like the OTL, the American public majority were not itching for war and Hughes would've detected this current and choose not...

  2. WI: Roosevelt runs in 1908

    I could see a President Hughes doing exactly the same thing that Wilson did in '16 ("He kept us out of war") with whoever the '16 Democratic candidate is having a scattershot campaign against the incumbent as Hughes did against Mr. Wilson.

  3. What If: President Eisenhower died in September 1955?

    Under this scenario, I just don't see the American people choosing to have 3 different Presidents in under 16 months. Nixon wins a term for himself and caps off arguably the most impressive ascent in the history of U.S. politics. Elected to the House in '46, the Senate in '50, the...

  4. WI: Roosevelt runs in 1908

    He wins re-election in '08. Running against another progressive in Bryan, TR might have a weaker performance than he did in '04. But if Taft could beat Bryan in Bryan's 3rd, last, and worst electoral performance, then TR would win. Question: Would there be a controversy of him seeking a 3rd...

  5. John Boorman's LOTR adaptation gets made in the 70s

    It would be a disaster and damage the source material's reputation like a certain Sly Stallone movie did to a certain iconic British comic book superhero cop. Except even worse. LOTR as 1 movie? How stupid.

  6. DBWI: WI Walt Disney never made "The Hobbit"

    Imagine if somebody had made this as a live-action film. The Internet would trash it because it was too long or something goofy like that.

  7. Japan Blitzes USSR First

    Which I believe was why they decided to invade southward, and confront the Eagle instead of the Bear.

  8. What if UK/France allied with USSR in 1939?

    I might add that I referenced that the UK Parliament foreign committeed called for a Soviet alliance in March '39. I don't think it would be that big of a deal breaker domestically for them. (France, I have no idea honestly with their domestic politics.) With Appeasement dead, a public outraged...

  9. how far can manifest destiny go?

    Would Mexico become a Phillipines or states?

  10. Lee Does Not Invade Pennsylvania

    Funny I had a college course where the Professor SWORE that if Lee had fought the same limited war, guerilla strategy that Washington used in the Revolution, the South would've won. But would this have been wise with the considerable advancement in technology since then? Unless I'm mistaken...

  11. If Daniel Webster succeeds Harrison in 1841, how much does this put the Civil War?

    Difference might be that Webster was a Whig, Tyler was a Democrat that ran on a Whig ticket. (Echoed decades later with former Democrat Andrew Johnson stuck allegedly leading a Republican party that never believed he would be President.) If it was Webster, he would've been leader of his party...

  12. What if UK/France allied with USSR in 1939?

    I can't cite it. I just remember that alleged idea, but maybe I imagined it? Either way I brought this quesiton up because Shirer in his book claimed that failure at an alliance was a monumental failure of British foreign policy. Conrad Black in his FDR book shared the same sentiment. But...

  13. What if UK/France allied with USSR in 1939?

    March 15, 1939 - Germany invades and conquers Czechoslovakia. The next day, Hitler proclaims from Prague Castle the new protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia that replaces the remains of a once independent republic. In the rapid response to this gross violation and betrayal of the Munich...

  14. WI: John Lennon Lives

    We must also remember that by his death, Lennon still had an unresolved beef with Harrison over Lennon backing out of George's Concert For Bangladesh in 1971. Accounts diverge on what happened from George demanding Yoko doesn't appear on stage with John (which he found unacceptable) to John's...
