1960s

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...

Fighting Liberals: A Tale of the Eastern Establishment, Rockefeller-Republicans, and Political Dynasties Hi, everyone! I have been a member of AlternateHistory.com for a few years now, but have never published a timeline of my own. I think it's a good time to rectify that. The idea for this...

“...According to our sources, the Blockade on the Isle of Cuba is at and end. We will bring you more information as it comes in” News Coverage, October 30th “The Cuban Missile Crisis’ resolution precipitated a collapse of confidence that shook the Kennedy administration to its core…” Loch...

RED AUGUSTUS: the Cultural Revolution as a global revolution timeline (Painting by Cheng Conglin) Raise high the great red flag of Mao Zedong Thought, unite the Party Central and Chairman Mao, and crush all kinds of restraints and subversive plots of revisionism; to eliminate resolutely...

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?

Jeff Greenfield wrote a great book about some potential alternate histories and one was about if in 1960 a few weeks after winning the presidency Richard Pavlick who in real life almost killed president-elect Kennedy in a suicide bombing actually decided to go through with it and succeed. But...

What it says in the tin. Just as long as the conflict in Afghanistan is today. What POD is needed and what will the butterflies be of the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s?

It’s Just My Job April 28, 1962 NASA Administrator Hugh Dryden lazily looked over papers on his desk as he watched the TV and waited. An empty podium was on display. The speech that the President was about to give would define American spaceflight for the coming decade, and was the culmination...

Anybody else read this? I have the audiobook and Ive listened through it several times over the years. I feel the author gives it a good try and its entertaining but I think a little too optimistic. Too much goes right and too little wrong. Still worth a read (or listen) but thats my two cents.

https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/hhh-becomes-potus-in-january-1965.26012/ Bringing back an OLD one. We don't see "what if LBJ dies in 1965" often. This one was quite interesting with Vietnam avoided and a quieter 1960s to 1970s in some ways. There's RFK, but he's portrayed as...

Suppose that the 1960 presidential election goes further down the wire, and the Kennedy-Johnson ticket holds a plurality of the electoral and popular vote, but falls short of the magic number of 268 electors. Harry Byrd and his unpledged electors make known their demands regarding segregation...

For example in OTL, the 1960s saw huge advancements in both technological and social arenas, which made things like the Moon Landing and Woodstock possible. The early 70s were okay-ish, but later things started getting worse and the last progressive product of this rapidly advancing...

After a long a tumultuous campaign season, the 1960 election has finally come to a close. But the results are unlike anything anyone would've expected. In the aftermath of eight years of a popular Eisenhower administration, it seemed common sense that Vice President Richard Milhous Nixon would...

In 1968, The Beatles, arguably the biggest and best band in history, set up their own record label/all purpose company Apple Corps (it pains me to admit I only now figured out the pun) as a vehicle for their own music and films and publishing and whatnot as well as allowing other artists a...
