Talkin Toaster put the Lenin died in uprising in 1905 , I already have Gunnady Zygunov as leader of the USSR , and that directly coronates all the way until the August Coup in 91 , so strike that out.

Anyway...

Muhammed Karzi : Charimain of the People's Republic of Afghanistan
 
How would Osama become a Playboy?Remeber, my rules said that they must be realistic. I am not critisizing, just asking for clarification.

According to some reports (but not others), he was up until Afghanistan.

As a teenager and a young man, Osama bin Laden was reported to be a typical Saudi of his generation, a bit of a playboy who used his family fortune to have fun outside of Saudi Arabia in Europe and the Gulf states.

The invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union in 1979 changed bin Laden's life. Like many young Islamists, he went to Afghanistan to help fight the invaders, to take part in the jihad against the infidel Soviets.

We have a PRAfghanistan. Osama just never came to be a Mujahid.

Actually, they could both work. STalin or Trosty or any of the other Communist Revolutionaries could have carried out the Revolution in Lenin's place.
 
Abraham Lincoln: Discraced leader due to the lost of the Civil War. Lived out the rest of his life after his Presidency as a lawyer in Illinois. Died in 1899 on his 90th birthday.

Robert E. Lee: Second President of the CSA. Actions he took eventually lead to the Abolishment of slavery, but apartheid and segregation continue.

Indeed.

Leon Trotsky: Menshevik leader of the July Revolution of 1916, first Chair of the Council of Free Soviet Commissars, founding father of the USSR

Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria: Leader of the USSR after Trotsky and during WWII

And a bit of reconsiliation needed here:

Snarf said:
Baron Manfred von Richthofen: WWI fighter ace, later WWII Luftwaffe commander and implicated in assassination plot against Hitler (presupposes that Richthofen survives WWI unlike OTL)

Mr J said:
Karl Franz Josef Ludwig Hubert Georg Maria von Habsburg-Lothringen,second Kaiser of the German Empire and king of Hungary, Croatia-Slavonia and Bohemia (17 August 1887 – 1 April 1950)

I said:
Werner von Braun - Famed German rocket-scientist, pioneer of the Reich space program. Often personally attributed with winning the space race for the Reich and putting the first man on the moon in 1967.

(Berra's "fixing" of that last one shouldn't stand, IMHO.)
 
John F. Kennedy: President of the United States from 1961-1969 notable for his New Frontier policies. Notably, Kennedy was a stalwart defender of Civil rights, passing the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 among other acts to give blacks in the Union equality. Kennedy also withdrew American troops from Vietnam in 1965 (while offering material support to the South Vietnamese), and peace talks with the Soviet Union also led to a much cooler Cold War. This peace and new found friendship would also lead to the Joint American-Soviet Moon landing in 1968.

Robert F. Kennedy:president of the United States from 1969-1977. Kennedy continued his brother's policies of racial equality and adherence to the Space Program, culminating in America landing a man on Mars on July 4, 1976.

Karel "Charlie" Bossart:
Famed American rocket pioneer and leader of NASA. It was through Bossart's work and skill that America was able to be a competitive force in the space race and the first to land a man on Mars in 1976 (one year after Bossart's death).

John Glenn:
First American in orbit and the first American on the Moon in 1968.

Yuri Gagarin: First Soviet in Space and the first Russian on the Moon in 1968.

Adolph Hitler: National Socialist Reich Chancellor under Kaiser Karl Franz Josef Ludwig Hubert Georg Maria von Habsburg-Lothringen, from 1933 to 1940, found dead in his office in Berlin under suspicious circumstances, many suspect a plot by Johann Ludwig Graf Schwerin von Krosigk

Johann Ludwig Graf Schwerin von Krosigk: Reich Chancellor under Kaiser Karl Franz Josef Ludwig Hubert Georg Maria von Habsburg-Lothringen, from 1940 to 1950

That should patch up the contradictions

The Confederacy has already been mentioned as surviving, hence they'd be in the CSA, not the USA.
