Plot thickens! Keep it coming!

And most anti-Zionist Jews were murdered. The domestic path to Israel had already been paved by this POD, but a significant difference could be that the world powers don't back Israel.

If Congress had passed a bill getting rid of the presidential retirement money then this is much more likely.

Chamberlain.

This. Canadian politics has not been known for its stability lately.

A lot of college men (who mostly now support Bernie Sanders) have different profile pics on Facebook.

That is OTL. KSA has never had full control over the Islamic Affairs Ministry since the 1980s. However, if you mean this gets found out in the fall of 2001... I expect Bush to pull out all the stops to avoid a war with KSA, but public sentiment might be too strong. KSA would probably give a lot...

Excellent work, though now I'm sad.

Kuwait was also the most Soviet-aligned Gulf State, while Iraq was much more American-aligned. The U.S. doing nothing would be seen as a signal that it isn't necessarily going to lift a finger to preserve Westphalian sovereignty for states that are hostile to it. Anyways, most likely result...

Yes, Farouk going for a more radical Pharoanist bent after defecting to the Axis in WWII would be a good POD. But the more radical the Pharoahnism, the shorter the regime lasts.

Never finished this thought, and it's bugging me. Let's see... Temporary appointment math: 1. Alaska (Sullivan) - Governor is an independent former GOP who ran with a Democrat. Special election follows according to state law. 2. Colorado 3. Kentucky (x2) 5. Missouri 6. Montana 7. New...

Belgium in 1950 is also a good candidate. I could see Nixon or Reagan supporting an Italian Pinochet if the communists had won an election.

Khrushchev was thrown out because he alienated the Soviet elites, and took risks that didn't pay off and made him and the nation look foolish. Killing off people doesn't change that—hell, it might lead to an earlier overthrow, since people are going to think he's becoming another Stalin with all...

Sounds like this just pisses off the West more than OTL and Quebec less.

Goldwater was an extremist. McGovern wasn't—he was essentially Humphrey policy-wise, just openly antiwar. The main reason he lost so badly is that his reformation of the primary process earned him the hatred of the unions and Democratic Old Guard. If McGovern hadn't done that, he would've been a...

Yes, essentially race relations would have to go so bad that this becomes more of a refugee situation—and Canada is so influenced by American culture that I can see them being highly reluctant to let such a thing happen. The Canadian economy has never relied on the systematic exploitation of...

Central Powers eke out a win in WWI before American troops land in France. America goes fascist and ends up conquering the Pacific and Americas. Germany also drifts this route when it ends up in perpetual war in Russia.

The Holocaust should be averted or end earlier. The Romani were proportionately the most devastated people by that genocide. Unlike with the Jews, where enough were left alive that remaining elites were able to capitalize on sympathy to build support for a Zionist state (it helps that the...
