To be fair, most of the credit goes to... um, whoever did the intermediate map series (before this one but after the move from rectangular maps) from one of the older threads, I'm not actually sure who, I just have a whole series saved on my hard drive from years ago, and spliced some stuff from...

Partially related to the talk of years, I know that in the older map series, there were a few situations where there would be two maps for a year, showing different points. Particularly during WWII, like for 1941, with one map showing things prior to Barbarossa, and one showing the German...

Well, various areas in the Americas became African-descended majority, due to the Atlantic slave trade. Granted, the destination for agriculture in relatively low density areas in the Americas can be different from Europe, and Europe didn't ever seem to have a large population of African slaves...

Was the Tagalog Republic of Bonifacio more successful at uniting or establishing control compared to the Aguinaldo government? I don't know the specifics of this era, just that there was a government under Aguinaldo that claimed the entire Philippines, but idk how much territory it controlled at...

Inspired by this thread, wherein the subject of American intervention in the Philippines and potential alternatives was brought up... Are there any semi-plausible scenarios for the Philippines to attain independence in the late 1890s or early 1900s? In OTL, Philippine rebellions before the...

The 2010 election resulted in a hung parliament, with the Liberal Democrats having a fairly strong showing as a third party and ending up kingmaker. Theoretically, the LibDems could have sided with either of the big two parties, but for practical purposes, a Lib-Con coalition was the most likely...

In a bit of a different direction from the above... here's a hypothetical US Senate reformed with the idea of 'degressive proportionality'-essentially the idea that "the subdivisions do not each elect an equal number of members, but smaller subdivisions are allocated more seats than would be...

With console commands or whatever it is with the inspect element and all, some stuff is possible. It is relatively easy to win as Wallace and Nader with the difficulty setting stuff, since you can play as them. With other elections, it is more complicated since you can nerf the party you play...

Here's a Douglas (likely) normal win On easy, you can win without fusion tickets or Seymour by narrowly taking IL, IN, and OH, but on normal, it is a straightforward focus on NY with Seymour as VP. Just take the fusion ticket option for the North, without withdrawing in the South which assures...

Here's my best 1988 Bush/Dole on normal https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/930136 Won all the states Bush won in real life, plus Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and New York. The popular vote is 50.2 million to 41.8 million, a margin of 8.4 million votes (1.4 million...

Is the Balochistan Chinese protectorate on the 1852 map a miscolor, or was that an actual thing?

I did. Here is a Nixon-Goldwater win on normal. The popular vote was a virtual tie, with Kennedy winning by just under 20,000 votes. But Nixon takes the electoral vote 281-250 https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/642736 And here's an easy win. Nixon gets a solid 53-47% popular...

As for the VP nominees... Part of it depends on the specific scenario. In 1960, for example, Johnson makes the South tilt Dem., Symmington makes the South a tossup/tilt R with a couple more states having Byrd votes, and Humphrey basically kills the Dems in the South but gives them a boost in...

Meanwhile, Hillary wins, paying some lip service to Sanders/progressives but broadly just going center-left/Obama-style liberal. Thus getting the biggest landslide since Reagan both in the electoral college and in the popular vote-winning by 15% and 20 million votes. Almost certainly retaking...

A broadly centrist Carter win on easy, winning all states except AK, AZ, ID, NE, UT, and WY. 513 Electoral Votes. A 12.5% popular vote margin, slightly over 10 million votes. https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/567165 And basically the same campaign on normal. 446 EV, and a...

My best Ford win on easy, higher than 99.9%. Won by 8.8% in the popular vote - 7.2 million votes, a borderline landslide. And an electoral college landslide, with Carter only winning 4 states in the south- GA, AR, TN, and SC- plus DC and 2 other states -MA and WV. At one point irl, Ford...

Looking at the starting map (on impossible), MA, RI, DC and HI already are the only states more democratic-leaning than tossup. And according to here at least, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_polling_for_United_States_presidential_elections , in early 68 Nixon had a more modest lead...

A Humphrey normal win, with Nixon beat by 11%, and got just a hair under 50% of the popular vote. With Connally as VP but still with a dovish and generally liberal campaign on most issues. https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/506913 And then a similar campaign on easy...

My best Nixon/Rockefeller on easy. Took everything outside the former confederate states except for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and managed to win Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas as well. EV was 436-87, and a popular vote win of slightly over 5 million and 8%...

https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/452150 Top Obama win on normal, won OTL states plus NC and GA, 53.8%-45.3%, 70 million to 59 million, 363-175. https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/452156 And another Obama win on easy, with lesser margins than the one in...
