At this point there was still some popular sentiment in favor of annexing all of Canada, which I think a Central Powers America (which--to clarify--is an extraordinarily unlikely scenario with an early POD). War aims would probably just account for an "offensive" version of the Monroe Doctrine...

Any good TLs about a large-scale US intervention in Mexico in the 1910s? Ideally not ones too focused on the First World War.

Where are they even going to fight other than the North Pacific?

The so-called Stalin note was a proposal offered by Joseph Stalin in 1952 to reunify Germany under a liberal democratic government on the condition that said Germany would not be allowed to join a military or economic alliance, and could only have a military to defend its own borders. The West...

Clinton impeached and removed from office, US becomes a pariah state, NATO collapses.

Why would Germany sit back and let a (probably rather weak and war-torn) Russia annex the incredibly valuable Ukraine in one fell swoop?

I think the political winds in Russia were still trending towards the decline of the autocracy, and that would naturally create better conditions for Poland and Finland (not necessarily Ukraine, the Baltics, etc.) to gain their independence. Getting parts of Austrian Galicia is a possibility if...

Even with much stronger German and Japanese navies and a weaker USN than IOTL I think it's almost impossible unless the US has already collapsed. Resupplying takes too much time and the Axis would rapidly overstretch and get bogged down with partisans to an extent that would make the Eastern...

With A POD after World War II and the formation of the United Nations, what's the maximum plausible number of possessions (whether colonial or incorporated into the metropole like France's OTL modern overseas possessions) that European colonial empires could retain in Africa? The only ones that...

What happens the to the men of the Czechoslovak Legion in a CP victory?

I think to win the nomination he would have to combine his outsider image (which both he and Clinton had in different ways) with trying to beat Clinton in the union vote (which was a lot more relevant in 1992 than it is today) over the issue of NAFTA.

Brown still wins 323 electoral votes even if you flip every ex-Confederate state that Clinton won (AR, LA, TN, GA) plus Kentucky.

Along with Massachusetts senator Paul Tsongas, Jerry Brown was the runner-up to Bill Clinton in the 1992 Democratic primaries, and combined an opposition to NAFTA with surprisingly conservative positions on taxation. Let's say his surge takes place before New Hampshire rather than after it...

Why did Germany lose so much territory in the east? Some border adjustments make sense but Stettin being given to Poland is absurd. Also, what's going on in Palestine and Korea?

Maybe, but we know that Yunnan is still independent, and Tibet and/or Xinjiang could be protected by a foreign power the way the Qing Empire is protected by Japan.

What's the status of Tibet?

Would probably make the Taiwanese independence cause easier to swallow, even if mainland China would inevitably develop a nuclear arsenal of its own.

This wouldn't even lead to a war. Assassinations of world leaders by anarchists were fairly commonplace at this point.

Or does stagflation still do him in and lead to a narrower Reagan victory? A bare-minimum Carter victory looks like this, by the way--Reagan won the PV by about 10% so I gave Carter every state closer than that. 297 electoral votes, coincidentally the exact same as his 1976 victory with Texas...

My guesses: 1. The socialist party is more of a traditional "labor party" and still has something close to the OTL New Deal/Great Society Coalition, doing well among urban minorities and in industrial and mining areas with strong labor traditions, but poorly in more affluent urban ridings and...
