Probably would last as long as the Thousand Year Reich unless the capital was moved to Beijing. Best way to do this is avoiding the Chinese Civil War, but having Russia be in civil war until 1949 or so. Russia is conquered by the KMT or something.

This is almost impossible with a POD after 1949. Tito & Mao were the only Communist leaders to come and remain in power without significant Soviet aid. However, Mao was still loyal to Stalin. Stalin did not trust Mao until the Korean War. So assuming the Korean War proceeds like OTL until...

Been busy lately but this may clear some things up: Despite Martin van Buren winning the plurality of the Electoral College in both 1836 and 1840, the House is unable to select a candidate. The Senate elects two acting presidents during this period. What could go wrong? Presidents of the...

Paul was an earlier sort of Trump. Paul is a neoconfederate and aligned with white supremacists in Russia; Trump took his old base. I figured that after 8 years of a warmongering Jewish President, the US would turn the other way by electing someone like Paul. But in hindsight the GOP...

The UK would probably have less colonies than IOTL. Fighting for colonies would likely mean the UK ends up fascist as France would’ve been in ‘58 were it not for De Gaulle. Britain didn’t have a De Gaulle.

"The fact that Comanches did things differently may well have been one of their greatest political assets. Their ability to move nimbly from raiding to trading, from diplomacy to violence, and from enslaving to adoption not only left their colonial rivals confused; it often left them helpless."...

Just wrote that.

15 de Agosto, 1872 Tenōchtitlan, Estados Unidos Mexicanos Kwana Nocona did not want to speak; her Spanish was too rusty. When her father abdicated, she didn’t expect her first task as Governor of Nuevo México would be funeral duty. But it had all happened so fast. The President’s death came...

April 14, 1865 The White House, Washington, District of Comancheria The President of the United States was bedridden. They said he would never recover. But they had said that before. After San Jacinto. As long as Tiana is here, he thought, all is well. “Sam,” she seemed to be saying. Her...

19 de Junio, 1865 El Paso, Nuevo México The slave bent down and shined his master’s shoes, trying hard not to listen to what was being said. It was not his business. They learned him to be meek, not a sneak. “Governor, the President of México is here to see you,” said one of the master’s...

Hot damn, it’s good to see this back!

The President’s Twitter habit.

The UK did do this IOTL when Iraq had its 1958 Revolution. The USSR & UK worked to keep Iraq out of the United Arab Republic. But more widely? No.

You avoid the Maseca cartel, with good consequences for tortilla lovers everywhere.

Probably not, Nasser was all about being the linchpin of “Afro-Asian Unity” — though an oil-rich, established UAR could end up throwing money around.

Can anyone find the Chinese elections info box from many years ago? I think the POD was 1989, with the KMT and CCP forming another United Front to compete in elections.

My history of the Soviet Union professor said Stalin was planning another Great Purge, so the postwar generation would fear the system as much as their elders. She’s convinced he would’ve escalated Korea into WWIII once Eisenhower was in office. If there’s no WWIII, biggest difference is the...

Biggest possible difference in the Middle East is unification of the Arab Middle East under Nasser’s United Arab Republic, which everyone expected Iraq to join, and thought Jordan and Lebanon and Saudi Arabia would fall into by popular revolt as well. 1958 was the most pivotal year in the Arab...
