Glad you decided to stick with this TL. Maybe working on two TL's will mix up the creative juices well enough so that material flows out of you with ease.

In 1885, Nikola Tesla was promised $50,000 by Thomas Edison if he could improve on his boss's designs for the direct current generators. When Tesla did the job, Edison claimed that he was joking, and instead offered him a $10/hour pay raise above his $18/hour salary. In our timeline, Tesla was...

Here's what I think would happen: the Natives would be more disease-resistant by the time second contact happens, which would make the African slave trade unnecessary for the European empires to practice, and the Manifest Destiny would be a lot bloodier.

Can this be moved to the Finished section?

Fitzgerald got what was coming to him! Who was the assassin?

Bring on the Troubles! I still think it would go more or less very similar to OTL, but a bit bloodier, knowing the grimdark nature of this thread. I just don't hope it gets too bloody because I like Ireland.

Looks like a fair deal, if you asked me. Will this make French Algeria ITTL version of Israel or North Korea? I'm inclined to agree with the earlier discussion, however, that the Grey Scare should be up for revision, simply because Americans need to have a lot more reasons (besides...

After that update, I'll bet that Stassen cannot wait for Smathers to take his place. How's the economies of America and Germany? Where is the current bright spot for US foreign policy? Who's the current face of the Civil Rights movement?

Play with this thought: while the UAR is Arab nationalist, it doesn't seem to be Islamist. On the other hand, I could imagine the Saudis sponsoring Wahhabism and other extremist sects throughout the Muslim world just like IOTL. This would force many in the Middle East to ask themselves whether...

This is something that came to mind. French Guiana may turn out to be a bad place for the Free French to retreat to because of Fascist Brazil. Seeing the ACT's currently weak position in the Cold War, the fascists in South America may start to become more ambitious. Vargas just might try to...

I wonder if the UAR has turned Saudi Arabia and Iran into strange bedfellows... On the map, you have South Rhodesia dark red. Does that mean it's a British Dominion or is it some sort of extremist state?

Seeing that the German public doesn't find out until the 1980's, on the surface of the story, things may not bode well for Herr Waldheim and Herr Braun in the near future.

I had a few questions regarding the Roman Catholic Church. Since the Vatican is deep within Axis territory, do you think that the Pope will be forced by the Germans to not say anything deemed pro-Western or anti-Nazi? Will there be a 2nd Vatican Council as OTL?

Life for the Average American Worker: I can think of one possible light spot in the midst of the grimdark nature of TTL. With no Red Scare ITTL, the rights of consumers and workers alike could be much stronger movements, creating a safer, more equal America that looks similar to OTL Western...

How's India doing? Are they in the Non-Aligned Movement? Will the US try to form a treaty of friendship/trade agreement/military alliance with the Indians ITTL? Will a Sino-Indian War occur as scheduled ITTL?

Great Update on Finland! Is it possible for "undesirables" in Europe to use Finland to flee to the West?

Your argument makes more sense than mine. They're probably wouldn't be enough Frenchmen in Algeria to overpopulate Guyana once they're inevitably kicked out of North Africa. With the US and UAR reaching rapprochement, and with German control of the Caucasus, that means the Reich and the US...

Here's what I will predict will happen by the end of the 1960's/beginning of the 1970's: Germany beats America to the moon; eventually the two compete for lunar colonies, and ITTL Space Race is much cooler than ours Soviet Union is Balkanized and carved up by Germany, Central Asia, and...

And on that note.......... Physical representation of the readers attempting to break into Kaiser K's writing den to see the work done on the next update This is only making me hungry for chocolate and the next update. Mostly for chocolate.

Fan fiction This there a fan fiction thread that continues this wonderful TL?
