What if he becomes a Vice President, Governor, Senator, Secretary of State, or Congressman? Could he improve his image?

If this happens I doubt the Cold War happens. Russia would likely lose 10+ million extra civilians and deal with a a much longer rebuilding. They gain no prestige from the war and fail to spread Communism in Eastern Europe and China/Korea. The Soviet Union would just be another broken down Great...

China could flip with the right PoD and decide Vietnam is better divided. Johnson could murder a million North Vietnamese and displace far more by bombing their dams at the start of the war.

It seems like it has a lot of issues as appealing as it sounds on paper. Those two rivers and the swamps in the subtropical environment enabled significant mosquito borne illness that is going to make people hesitant to move there. The city itself is a small isthmus because of the rivers and is...

Rogue One has nothing as well known as Solo, but made three times as much money. Being better known doesn’t mean it will make more money.

So,if it was done, what kind of reception would you expect it to have had? What box office results?

Maybe it wouldn’t have been a disaster. Another director might have brought back Ford and might not have had the Luke and Leia forced together. Not exactly a crowd pleasing ending.

If Northern Illinois and Wisconsin have anywhere near OTL development, that will be a powerful state. Northern Illinois has 10+ million with the Chicago metropolitan area while Wisconsin has 6. Illinois/Wisconsin would potentially be the second largest state into the the 50s.

Britain siding with Russia to beat Germany or vice versa seems redundant. If Russia beats Germany odds are you still end up with a hegemonic power, just with it now being Russia instead of Germany.

If Germany assessed that a Spring Offensive is unlikely to bring the Entente down and decided to sit on the defensive, what terms could they get? Alsace-Lorraine and it’s colonies would almost certainly be gone and it would have to withdraw from France/Belgium/Luxembourg. The Ottoman Empire...

Detroit’s Metro area went from 3 million in 1950 to 6 million today, which is apparently still 70% non Hispanic white, only 8.6% foreign born, has unemployment around 4%, and has a median income per family of $72,000. I’m curious how much of the cities decline in population was the economy...

I struggle to even think of how such a state even survived to the 20th century; Politically backwards, decentralized, numerous ethnic and linguistic groups, and surrounded by by stronger countries whose minorities reside in Switzerland. As I understand it, Switzerland was actually fairly...

And if the coup fails what happens?

Even if Italy doesn’t send net forces to France, can’t they trade French mountaineer forces for mobile Italian units? Also freeing up some stuff in North Africa and changing the air war.

In the late 40s France and Italy’s Communist Parties won a significant number of votes, but still failed to take over their countries. What if they actually took power and then did away with Capitalism and Democracy in Italy and France? Perhaps the Communists build better coalitions or have a...
