People's Journal of New York (27 February 1993)
The World Trade Center, world-renown symbol of the power and influence of the United Socialist States of America, was attacked yesterday by terrorists. Residents of New York City watched in horror as the North Tower of the WTC was knocked into the...
By "lose" I didn't mean that the US turns communist or the Soviet Union survives until the present day. What I meant is that I'm interested in seeing what would happen if much of what the US got its hands into throughout the Cold War turns nasty for them. Vietnam, Korea, the Middle East, what...
AFAIK it'd be very unlikely for the US to lose the Cold War either by economic or governmental means. However, there were several instances throughout the Cold War that could have gone either way in my book. I'm interested in seeing how people think the world would look like if the US had not...
In OTL, DeGaulle is often the most remembered and most celebrated French general of WWII. However, Philippe Leclerc commanded French forces in Africa and, after D-Day, in Europe, and AFAIK seen as a very good commander.
Is there a way to make Leclerc as politically and militarily successful as...
I'm interested in seeing how long WWI could go on--feasibly, of course. The war must start as it did OTL, but after that most anything is fair game except ASBs. Bonus points for intelligently adding new countries or new campaigns to the conflict.
Unlike OTL, the United States is slow out of the gate in the first few years of the Cold War and there is no Marshall Plan or Berlin Airlift. In short, America pushes itself back into isolationism until much later. By the time the US enters world affairs, President Adlai Stevenson finds a world...
I'm sure that this has been picked up as ASB a few times before, but I'm interested in what the Morgenthau Plan would have looked like if it had happened. What would the long-term effects be, etc.?
To make my point clear, I think this is ASB since Medvedev and Putin aren't dumb enough to gift wrap such a clear cassus belli for the United States and NATO. But, for argument's sake, let's say it's an accident.
Firstly, the Arleigh Burke class are built around the Aegis system so the McFaul...
Chad and Sudan have been involved in a tit-for-tat war for a few years now, I think. How could we get that war to explode beyond what it is right now? The bigger the better, maybe, perhaps with France deploying a significant military presence into the area and getting dragged into a quagmire.
WI George Washington was killed, perhaps in combat, during the Revolutionary War? Assuming that his death was late enough in the war to not damage the Americans' hopes too badly, who becomes the first POTUS? Does Washington's legacy of Presidential humility disappear?
Amen to that. Even if we merely think in personal terms, that's 20,000 more men not returning to their homes than they did OTL. What sort of butterflies would that have? Who knows, maybe a future father was killed, thereby wiping out a future Vietnam War officer who ends up saving hundreds of...
