While I do think that Slavery and Genocide would feature more prominently in their worlds villains I can't see them imagining the future society as expansionist and colonialist, after all that's what got them into this mess. If anything I could see their Federation being even more anti...

He gets crushed in the primaries, My money would be on McCain if Dubya isn't running. As such McCain runs and probably wins the presidency against Gore. He may even win the popular Vote.

Ah, Jar Jar. I still cry at his last line in episode III. Anyway One thing I will say is that the effects of the prequels have not aged as well as the original trilogies. CGI was brand new back then so everyone wanted to use it to the fullest extent they could, and as such we get some...

Mad Max was well received, both by critics and audiences. But Financially speaking it only barely broke even and was a cost to the studio. The challenge, either by changing the movie itself, changing the circumstances of its release, or both, is to make it make enough money to be considered a...

If there isn't any violence in public and he urges calm and communication in the post Stalin USSR when no one is sure who exactly is in charge then he could quickly become a viable alternative to the aforementioned people close to the throne, not sure if this is in with his personality but I...

It really is a Depressing Timeline. I mean Turtledove's Series ends on a fairly high note Compared to OTL, The Fascist powers are wholly defeated, and it looks as though the communist world and capitalist worlds will finally get along at last with the whole UN formation. As brutal as the...

Difficult to say. During and before WWII there were some communist organizations that intended to take over but they never really got anywhere. Mostly due to infighting. Additionally, What would happen to Tibet in this Timeline? If it still existed it could be a valuable western ally.

I don't know if I agree. With the cold war going China served as good buffers between the communist Bloc and the United States, with those Buffers gone and a Communist Power on the doorstep of American Allies in the region that could have lead to some very nasty wars. Meanwhile India...

Likely Hitler would have simply attacked the Soviet Union a few years later. The two nations were too different ideologically and in terms of goals to ever get along. If the Soviet Union gave Germany more time they might not have been able to beat them as decisively as they did. And Britain...

I'm not Bothered by all the new ones, I mean yeah we get a lot of crap but that's what happens when you open up your niche to the general public. Just look at comic books. Additionally, we must not undervalue the possibility of tangential learning. At least people today know who Napoleon is.

Honestly I can't see it being that different in terms of plot. But it would probably be less stretched out. Ten episodes a season instead of sixteen.

My Father is Jewish but he converted so that wouldn't be the problem. I'm half white and Half Mexican, although both sides of my family come from the Japanese Zone so that's something, though i'll probably still be in big trouble.

People tend to forget that Johnson was a bit of a loose cannon in his own right. As an earlier poster pointed out "nuclear apocalypse" isn't exactly off the table for a guy who felt he needed to live up to his hero by winning a big war. Prevent the Kennedy assassination, maybe things stay...

The Siege of Antioch had many situations in which the First crusade could have been destroyed. What if they had been? Would there have been other Crusades later on? What would happen to the Pope who ordered the Crusade?

I think He means Dubya not H.W. and Honestly, how? He was a total disaster as a president from basically day one, there just isn't a non-asb way. Nothing short of massive election theft or ASB intervention is going to make it happen.

Almost impossible if he is still fighting the ACW as we recognize it. Even if he gets lucky I doubt anyone would have all that much respect for a Confederate General.

Given the hypocrisy and double standard our society has with male sexuality as opposed to female sexuality I could see the sexual revolution going far more smoothly and being a bit more permanent, if it did get a lot less actually done.

I see this as unlikely but not impossible. Stalin was pretty traditional in terms of gender roles. She could end up as one of Lenin's people, however then she would end up dead in the purges and we would be right back where we started.

The Immortals: Widely considered to be the historically accurate answer to Zack Snyder's 300 as well as the middle eastern one, However The Immortals does not simply cast the Greeks as the Villains, rather show that both the Greeks and the Persians had positives and negatives. Although the film...

Speaking as someone who disliked the Lost world Book more than the movie I have a few different changes in mind The first thing I would do is make it so that Roland is a part of the main research team as security and operations and his motivation isn't so much "hunt the Rex" as it is "see, and...
