It's pretty simple; the US, at least with a post-1865 POD, was always going to rise into a global superpower and, accordingly, is very, very overpowered in the HOI games. The 2ACW exists so as to nerf the United States in the Kaiserreich universe, but even with it, whichever faction wins out can...

Has the new site fixed some of the issues of the old one? Particularly with the 1968 scenario and getting questions clearly meant for Wallace while playing as Nixon or Humphrey, or vice versa.

A better model to look at, rather than the Kaiserreich radical model or other TLs having notNazi France, is how the Vichy regime justified itself and its ideology. While obviously adjacent to and collaborative with fascism, the Vichy ideology distinctly lacked either militarism or revanchism...

The ones that come to mind: 1. The tendency to assume that every German postwar proposal/desire would have actually come to fruition, no matter how difficult it would have been to impose peace terms or hold on to conquered lands. We know the Allies couldn't get their most extreme demands (the...

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/2225847 Great result with Ford on Normal; picked Baker and mixed moderate answers with a few appeals to the Reaganites (opposing Roe, the "reducing government" answer), won OTL Ford + OH, WI, PA, MS, HI. I think I could have won New York if...

It was extremely close, both in the popular vote and in the electoral margin (on the surface it looks like a decent-sized win for Kennedy, but a swing of 0.8% towards Nixon flips Hawaii, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and the tipping point of New Jersey.

I honestly think he would have done worse. Palin turned off swing voters but was red meat for a conservative base who had been very cool on McCain during the primaries, and might have helped McCain with women and the "PUMA" vote (2008 had a smaller gender gap than the few elections before or...

Germany would continue to back China through arms sales and military advisors, though this might dry up after a European war starts. However, this won't fix US disapproval towards Japan's expansionism and I don't think it would lead to an Axis China either. Maybe the Sino-Japanese War remains...

Pop-culture POD--Seth MacFarlane doesn't miss his flight on 9/11/2001 and dies in the hijackings. Family Guy remembered as a cult hit cut tragically short while adult animation in the late 2000s and 2010s probably looks very different.

From a purely territorial standpoint yes, but ITTL they won't lose a literal third of their population and Warsaw will be at least partially intact.

As you might know (and without getting too into the specifics of his current presidency or his 2020 bid), Biden's first of three runs for the presidency occurred in 1988. As a youngish but experienced moderate with both foreign policy expertise and blue-collar bona-fides, he was formidable in...

Briefly becomes right-wing tabloid hero, probably gunned down unceremoniously at some point.

You've just reinvented regular great power rivalries.

@King of the Uzbeks i assume a TL where the Republican Party remains dominant among Black voters?

Probably a status like Irish IOTL, where few people speak it in daily life outside the boonies but where the state actively promotes it in the educational system.

RSR for the most part lacks that. The Jack Ryan novels are where he gets politically charged through his self-insert fantasy character.

Sub-Saharan Africa is likely to bear the worst brunt of climate change later in the 21st century. I think that map is heavily simplified and perhaps a bit lazy (space-filling empire vibes) but I also don't necessarily think that the author was being intentionally racist.

Obama did better in the coastal and urban South, because Virginia and North Carolina had radically demographically changed since 2000 + Obama's massive gains with college-educated white voters. But he did much worse in the rural/upland South, which had been the strongest states for both Clinton...

My inclination is that, like the counties in New Mexico and South Texas that had existing notable Hispanic populations after US annexation but well before mass immigration from Mexico, that the US states of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Baja California would be dominated by local patrons, some of whom...

Both were New Democrats who shared very similar policy positions--socially moderate-liberal, generally supportive of deregulation. Gore might be slightly more dovish than Clinton, though that might be butterflied given how this timeline started. However, US involvement in Afghanistan might...
