I would imagine that the turn of the century/millennium will be an even bigger event in this timeline than ours. After a century of barbarism that included multiple regional wars and 3 global catastrophe's, who wouldn't be exhilarated to see the 20th Century come to a close?

Given that many partisan domestic issues have likely been effectively neutralized by the war, and the distinct possibility that there simply won't be an election due to annihilation, the two parties should just resurrect the National Union Party with a ticket of the current administration.

You would have thought they would have known better than to fuck with the American-Franco alliance. The two republics stick together through thick and thin. Though an interesting divergence would be is if The United States would still have annexed Canada had Britain sided with France instead...

As cool as it would have been, remember how disastrous The Led Zeppelin reunion was for that show? Though to be fair at the time no one cared because they were watching Zeppelin back together for 20 minutes.

It's sometimes hard to keep track of what is canon and what is EU. It all turns into mush after awhile, lol. In all seriousness one of the clues I took from the shows is that Canada has been referred to as a whole in addition to Manitoba having been referenced. In all likelihood if The US still...

If I recall correctly The United States still actually existed as some form of regional Governmental entity within The United Earth Government and The Federation. The Soviet Union certainly did (As TNG ironically made clear.) Of course I think there is an argument to be made that The Federation...

The Alien universe is like this to some degree. In the first film Kane had a Union Jack patch and Brett had a patch representing The United States tricentennial. In addition The Colonial Marines from the 2nd film were clearly from The United States. A little interesting piece of trivia is that...

Would he slowly turn into a sand worm?

I would imagine that everything India has learned with its deepwater mining might be useful for The A4 when they eventually mine the asteroid belt. Seems it's in everyones interests just to have India reunify with its War Allies. Win Win for everyone.

God I am glad they never made it much further to God, Emperor of Dune. Could you imagine how ridiculous Tom Cruise would have looked in a giant rubber slug suit? That would have been worse than Episodes VII-IX of Star Wars. Ickk......Everyone phoned that one in. I saw Harrison Ford interviewed...

What if as someone mention, Lincoln was lost before Appomattox? Lincoln would be an even greater martyr than he is now, and there might be more lust for revenge. Stanton had no problem railroading Mary Surratt, he might even take it a step further. It's also hard to say what would have happened...

Hasn't that been confirmed as apocryphal?

Given the POD, is William Longchamp still alive in the 13th Century? I know he died in 1197 in Poitiers, but does anyone know how?

I was always a bit confused as to why Henry Wirz was the only Confederate executed. The ringleaders certainly deserved it as well. We certainly seem to be soft on traitors. It's hard to say how it would have changed things. Many of the Confederate leaders have already been deified as heroes...

That's kind of what I was getting at with my previous comment, but I poorly clarified it. While The North viewed them as states in rebellion, it's not as if The Union just decided to restore congressional representative rights immediately upon reacquisition. They were conquered territories, not...
