Alaska is more Russian, but there are also more Eastern Europeans who passed through Canada, and British/British-Canadians. Due to its quasi-independent nature and low regulation of business, along with oil rush, it's growing quite a lot. Yeah, eventually. It's been held up for the same reason...

Yeah... That update is getting sort of delayed due to college applications and my new super-secret AH/FH timeline. As a hint though, some interesting things are going to happen in the US domestically... While the rest of the world is reviving, the US will be dealing with transitioning away from...

Yes, it does. It has a VLS rack in the back that can fire SAMs at incoming aircraft and cruise missiles, and it also guides some of the side guns which I think were supposed to be rapid firing 3 inch type thingies which could throw up flak to stop aircraft or missiles. If you're going to get...

Thanks! I work at a place that teaches kids how to use Photoshop and Flash and all that good stuff, so when they have free time I'm lucky enough to have access to those programs and a tablet. Expect more soon. Oh, and impressive MSPaint skills as always Hapsburg. You can still probably draw...

Cars are called motorwagons in the Franco-American War TL, and the first tanks are called armoured wagons or more commonly 'battlewagons'.

Doodles... 2030s era M6 Main Battle Tank. It broke the tradition of smaller and lighter vehicles after the devastating ground campaigns in Asia. The M6 was designed to resist highly advanced ATGMs. Note the extra smoke/SLID launchers on the sides, and the automated miniturret for engaging...

6. The North American major power always has some ridiculous straight line border with its neighbor to the north, despite the fact that the northern nation would be so much weaker and smaller. Apparently the major power never decides to invade!

Now that I'm done with school, I've been researching various Cold War tidbits to look for interesting divergences for the Dewey TL... One of the things I started to read about in more detail was the Years of Lead in Italy, when there were various neofascist terrorist attacks, attempted coups...

Lots of questions... The ACSU is still basically an alliance lead by South Africa... The Boer population is smaller now, though the non-Boer whites and Asian immigrants have grown in size fairly significantly. The Falklands are basically a large military base maintained by the Brits and a PAC...

The problem with Lodge being a strong candidate is that his reputation is still soiled by the foul-up in Iran when he was Dewey's Secretary of State. Maybe his other successes might outweigh that, and he could get the nomination. But I figure if an Easterner runs, Goldwater will probably be the...

Well, the Republican Party of TTL is a bit more liberal than in OTL, but in 1964, the mood is calling for someone really tough on communism. So I'm not sure whether Lodge or Rockefeller would step up to a much tougher foreign policy, or if Republicans would draft Goldwater as in OTL for his...

Ah, thank you. Well this actually helped me review for my own USHII AP course. Lots of stuff in the 50s and 60s I had to dig out... Right now my main hangup is Presidential nominations of '64... Once I finally decide who gets nom'd, I can decide who wins, and then what happens after that. I...

I figured mine wasn't going to be finished in time, so I posted what I had the weekend before the contest deadline with the intention of doing it as a normal TL.

71 views and nothing to say? :p

Unfortunately, I had virtually no time to work on this, and now that I think about it I'm probably going to change a lot of what happened after 1964. So, rather than attempting to finish this in time for the deadline, here is some of the TL so far. 1949 Dewey was inaugurated after a...

Well by my time zone, April 15th is over, and there might be a few more teasers to be posted, but I have to say I've enjoyed reading all your work so far. It's really interesting to see how we thought some of the same things... And went in totally different directions with others. In some ways...

Butterflies. Assuming both of Castro's parents existed and met (And all their parents, and so forth, which would be hard because Castro's father wasn't Cuban in the first place), there's still only 1 in 8 million or so of a chance that ATL Fidel Castro will have the same genes as OTL Fidel Castro...

Well, here we go... Written in typical format, with much credit going to Agentdark, of course. 1949 Dewey was inaugurated after a narrow victory. He resolved to maintain his moderate position, but attempted to shake off labels as a “do-nothing” by taking a firm stance against communism...

Not sure whether you want to call FAWTL an Ameriwank or not (I don't think it is with respect to Mexico. Of course, anything will look reasonable with respect to Mexico given my other TL, haha)... But FAWTL does have a very strong Republic of the Rio Grande. Earlier industrial progress helps...

I like the up to '56 teaser idea. I'm past there, though I haven't written anything recently. Though now I'll certainly go and polish up that segment. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with... :D
