Easy. DeGaulle dies during his coup.

South Korea was poorer than many African countries upon independence. So yes, a Sovietwank or Nasserwank/Pan-Africanwank is a good place to start. OTL the U.S. threw a lot of guns into Africa. ITTL the goal should be for them to throw in butter.

In Muslim National Communism in the Soviet Union, the abdandonment of courting revolutionary forces is presented both as a pragmatic move internationally and a way to suppress the political power of Sultangaliev's National Communists. If cooperation with Kuchak Khan continued, the resulting...

It's both fashionable and inaccurate to underestimate George Wallace on this site, facts be damned. Wallace was the frontrunner at the time of his OTL assassination, and he was by far the best campaigner of the Democratic Party in 1972. Reagan's electoral appeal was that he was a Republican...

Shuffling Red and Blue All the Democratic Presidents were Southerners from 1964 to 2009. Rockefeller is difficult to get into the presidency without an assassination of Ford working out. If that happens, it's possible that the conservatives do form a third party in 1976—which is what Helms...

Oh yeah, that's not anything to be worried about. :rolleyes: Clint Eastwood turned down the role.

Before The Passage of Power came out, this view was much stronger in the forum. After reading The Passage of Power, it is difficult to...

Can't wait for more. Subscribed. :cool:

LBJ is a good answer to the OP. The title itself made me immediately think of Norman Bourlag. Nixon, now there's a guy who gets way more credit than he deserves—I had no idea Deng Xiaoping took orders from ex-President Nixon. Yes. He's a hypocritical segregationist instead of an outright...

Iran/Contra becomes an issue again and Reagan & Bush end up in jail. Gingrich defeats a weakened President Quayle in the primaries.

…Mormons are Protestants.

Reagan almost won IOTL, because the '68 delegates were disproportionately conservative because of Goldwater's '64 run. Without Nixon, he's the nominee. Rockefeller will probably delude himself into thinking he can win the nomination. He won't.

Humphrey wins in '68 and crushes Reagan in '72.

Inaugural Address of Acting President Curtis LeMay President Eisenhower, Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. Speaker, President Johnson, Vice President Humphrey, fellow Americans and human beings: President Lincoln once said, "We cannot escape history. The fiery trails through which we pass will light us...

This is OTL for freight rail.

As we all know, Voice of the Arabs is an accurate source of information, not Nasser's propaganda. :rolleyes:
