This needs more details. Axis victory?

I have in my mind a post-Dunkirk defeat and a Lloyd George led Peace Coalition taking Britain out of the war.

"[Jerry Brown] is totally into power." - Richard Maullin​

1993 - 1997: Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown / Thomas R. Harkin (Democratic) [1]

2012: Robert A. Taft III / Susan Golding (Republican)
2016: Peter Cianchette / Steven M. Largent (Republican)

1. With a damning sex scandal ending the presidential chances and marriage of Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, the Democratic nomination for 1992, not a widely sought-after thing, by any means, was left to a few minor candidates. Ultimately, the frontrunner became clear - former California Governor Jerry Brown was the unlikely pick of the party. Endorsed by billionaire Ross Perot, who had been planning a quixotic run for the White House, Brown chose Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, a former primary rival, to shore up his foreign policy support. Going into the general, nearly everyone expected Bush to win, but Brown's unique brand of protectionism and social liberalism, as well as impassioned pleas by future Secretary of the Treasury Perot, ultimately led to Brown's surprising victory. The Brown administration was an eclectic one, with most of his lasting influence coming from his ending NAFTA before it could even begin. He also passed the Balanced Budget Amendment, but his attempts to institute term limits and abolish the Department of Education were defeated by Congress. However, his gun control efforts, as spurred by an assassination attempt on Vice President Harkin by the growing militia movement, would be widely lauded. Come 1996, Brown was expecting reelection, but he had grown unpopular, and was blamed for letting the Communists, under Zyuganov, come back into power in Russia, now the Union of Sovereign States (USS). He was also lambasted repeatedly for his failure to properly intervene in the "apocalyptic" Rwandan Civil War.
2. While many Republicans wanted former President Bush to run, he declined, and ultimately, the contest was between his Vice President, Dan Quayle, seen as a lightweight, Californian Pete Wilson, and, surprisingly, the popular hero of the Gulf War, General Norman Schwarzkopf, whose popular memoir, It Doesn't Take a Hero, had made him enormously popular. Schwarzkopf had been drafted into the race, following his vocal denunciation of the Brown administration's foreign policy. His supporters praised him as a 'new Eisenhower,' and, after defeating Wilson and Quayle in the primaries, and selecting Maine Senator William S. Cohen as his Vice President, he seemed to be the likely winner in 1996. Schwarzkopf claimed that only he and Cohen were truly fit to run the country on the world stage, as the 90's were far more chaotic than anyone had thought. Ultimately, Brown lost the election, and returned home to California, where he would enjoy "peace and quiet". However, following Governor Susan Golding's assumption of the Vice Presidency in 2009, Brown would successfully run for the Governor's office, and he returned back to Sacramento. The Schwarzkopf administration would be predominantly one of foreign policy - he authorized sending a United Nations task force into Rwanda, as well as similarly unstable Somalia. Meanwhile, he battled Sovereign attempts to reconquer parts of the old Soviet Union. While he was largely successful at this, the economy took a downturn during his presidency, and with his prostate cancer, thought to be in remission, resurfacing, President Schwarzkopf announced that he would not be running for reelection, and he endorsed his Vice President for the job. Cohen faced no opposition for the Presidency, and he chose Florida Governor Jeb Bush, son of former President Bush, as his running mate. In a way, he truly was the new Eisenhower, but not how anyone had expected.
3. With former Vice President Harkin declining to run in 2000, the Democratic field was wide open, with the main contenders being Senators Bill Bradley of New Jersey and Max Cleland of Georgia. Cleland, a Vietnam War veteran - a double amputee, as a matter of fact - and friend of former President Jimmy Carter, ultimately became the nominee. He chose Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber, a charismatic man, to balance out his ticket. While President Schwarzkopf had enthralled crowds, Cohen was duller, and Cleland had a far more inspiring story, with even the President commending the Senator's service. Ultimately, Cleland won, albeit somewhat more narrowly than had been expected. He focused on restoring prosperity to an America gripped by wars, and he succeeded, most said. He focused on defusing relations with the USS, and by 2004, he won a fairly sizable victory over the 2000 Vice Presidential nominee, Jeb Bush. However, in 2006, the world was shocked when a terrorist attack destroyed half of London, and Prime Minister Harriet Harman swore revenge. It was revealed that the offenders were Kurds, and Harman sent in troops to Kurdistan, with Turkish approval. Cleland joined the fight eagerly, thinking that it would be over easily, but the terrorists showed no signs of letting up, and the Kurdish War soon became a quagmire. Cleland was distraught, realizing that he had created a "new Vietnam," but he could not pull out.
4. While many persuaded William Cohen to run against the now deeply unpopular successor to Max Cleland, his Vice President, John Kitzhaber, who chose the Cleland administration's Secretary of the Treasury, Ron Brown, the first black man to be on a presidential ticket, as his running mate, he declined, and soon, Ohio Senator Robert A. Taft III became the presumptive nominee. Taft pledged to win the war in Kurdistan as soon as possible, and, choosing California Governor Susan Golding as his Vice President, he soon became the clear favorite to win the election, which he did, quite comfortably. However, the Kurdish War was just as difficult for Taft as it was for Cleland, and, ultimately, he saw his days were numbered when a new man rose to challenge him, a man whose family name was unbeatable.
5. John F. Kennedy, Jr. had been seen as vapid or a lightweight, but a plane crash had changed all of that, and, while he survived, he became a changed man, much like his uncle had been. He soon became a crusading Senator from New York, and few dared to challenge Kennedy in 2012. He chose for his running mate Denise Majette, a black woman, and he was able to comfortably beat Taft in 2012. His "New Destiny" program would attempt to provide healthcare for all Americans, even if he has had difficulty passing it through Congress. President Kennedy has just won reelection, although many are prophesying a difficult second term for America's second President John F. Kennedy.

I'm back at my computer, so I can make this all pretty.

The Accidental Dynasty

1945-1945: Clement Attlee (Labour)
1945 (Majority) def. Winston Churchill (Conservative), Archibald Sinclair (Liberal), Ernest Brown (Liberal National)
1945-1947: Arthur Greenwood (Labour)
1947-1950: Ernest Bevin (Labour)
1950-1955: Winston Churchill (Conservative)
1950 (Coalition with Liberals) def. Ernest Bevin (Labour), Clement Davies (Liberal)
1955-1964: Douglas Jay (Labour)
1955 (Majority) def. Winston Churchill (Conservative), Clement Davies (Liberal)
1960 (Majority) def. Gwilym Lloyd George (Conservative), Jo Grimond (Liberal)
1964-1969: Reginald Maudling (Conservative)
1964 (Majority) def. Douglas Jay (Labour), Jo Grimond (Liberal)
1969-1971: Douglas Jay (Labour)
1969 (Majority) def. Reginald Maudling (Conservative), Arthur Seldon (Liberal)
1971-1978: Anthony Greenwood (Labour)
1973 (Majority) def. Jim Prior (Official 'Magic Circle' Conservative), Peter Thorneycroft and Arthur Seldon (National Liberal and Conservative-Liberal Alliance)
1978-1983: Betty Boothroyd (Labour)
1978 (Majority) def. Hugh Fraser (Conservative), Edward du Cann (Liberal Alliance)

Basically Morrison successfully removes Attlee after the 1945 landslide but in the ensuing leadership election, is punished for his intrigues by the election of Greenwood. Greenwoods poor health means the intrigues don't stop however and in 1950, Labour wins the popular vote but isn't the largest party. Churchill welds together a coalition with the few remaining Liberals in Parliament. Anthony Eden dies during surgery in 1953, and Churchill decides to risk another election. The result is another narrow victory this time for Labour under Douglas Jay. With the Tories badly divided by factionalism, Jay increases his majority in 1960, but the Conservatives under Maudling firmly bow to the New consensus and in 1964 they win a majority as Jays government struggles with 'crises of morality'. Maudling presides over prosperity but a growing problem with trade and industry spells doom for him. Jay wins a new majority and hands over to Greenwood who enjoys an enlarged majority as Maudling leaves the public stage in scandal and the Conservatives tear themselves apart over their future path, allowing Labour to dominate the 70s and early 80s.

I have studying to do, and then I'll put up some notes.

Theodore Roosevelt's victory in the Republican National Convention was shocking, if not especially so due to Taft's heart problems. His administration brought America into the Great War, prompting a faction of Republicans led by Robert LaFollette to break away and advocate a more isolationist path, but its Progressive roots made it quite popular among the workers, ensuring it won a second term. By the time the war begun to develop into a bloody quagmire, however, Roosevelt was a dying shell, his administration propped up by his daughter Alice.
In 1920, the Democrats, having failed twice with Progressivism, came roaring back with Populism. But an assassin - many think, paid off by Wall Street tycoons - ended up bringing the first Catholic President into office. Between Anti-Smith slates of electors winning a few states in the South and an unexpectedly popular new party called the People's Alliance, made mostly from the former Socialist Party, acting as a spoiler in the North and West, Bryan's fate was sealed as one of Roosevelt's staunchest allies sauntered into the White House.
After some mishaps in foreign policy, mostly centered around dealing with a resurgent Japan, Cordell Hull won a narrow victory in what was expected to be a foreign-policy-focused term.
On July 23, 1930, the stock market crashed. Over the course of the next two years, industry after industry failed, and government response was decidedly indecisive. With nowhere else to turn, millions of working-class Northerners and poor Southerners turned to the Alliance.
It is now 1936. President Thomas's government has been controversial, and many have said dictatorial, but it cannot be denied that the Great Depression ended and the recovery began. Now, with war in the Pacific perhaps on the horizon, it remains to be seen whether America will stick with the Thomas administration.

Inspired by recent events. Trump gets impeached over the whole Russia thing, and Pence is voted out in 2020. In mid-2024, Booker is implicated in authorizing Chinese hacks of the RNC, causing for Democrats to instead rally behind True Progressive Senator Gabbard's third party run. However, the damage is done, and Governor Walsh is elected in a landslide. As we go into the 2030s, people are glad that politics involves a lot less military insurgencies than it did before.
