Three WIs for Brazil: 1 - WI the Sao Paulo - Minas Gerais political pact ("Cafe com Leite", in Portuguese) was honored and a politician from Minas was chosen as presidential candidate in 1930? 2- WI Getulio Vargas remains neutral during WWII? 3- WI Tancredo Neves survives in 1985 and is fit...

Seems that Iceland falling into British hands would be the most probable outcome. However, could another European country try a shot? Denmark, Sweden, Portugal (as Portuguese sailors were active in the Northern Atlantic by 1500s) or even Russia?

The Norse discovery and settlement of Labrador / Terra Nova seems to be almost an inconsequential event. However, a no-Nordic or Danish Greenland could have major geopolitical effects on North Atlantic. Could the island be a flashpoint to a U.S / British-Canadian dispute for the land?

WI Nordics weren't able (or simply left untouched) to discover and settle in Iceland? What could leave the island untouched by the Nordics and when / how would finally settle and colonize the island?

Without the war, what's the odds for a longer military - civilian transition in Argentina? Or was the Junta already totally doomed by 1982?

Several threads already covered scenarios on which Argentina wins the Malvinas / Falkland War. However, not much was discussed about a "no war" scenario.... Let's imagine that the Argentina Junta simply decides, by early 1982, to archive the war plans and nothing happens involving Malvinas /...

Well....guess that a dictatorship or at least a very "military hand" on the government would be on the cards for almost any Latin American country during the 1960s and 1970s....if, somehow, Goulart manages to avoid (or survive) 1964, the next potential crisis could be the 1965 presidential...

WI, by legitimate or fraudulent means, the 1988 Chilean Plebiscite results are reversed, with Pinochet winning an eight years mandate? How Chile and Latin America would react and behave with Pinochet entering the 1990s?

WI Portugal's Carnation Revolution, somehow, flops (or is entirely removed)? How the country would transition to democracy and CEE membership? What would be impacts on the then colonies? Would Portugal witness a kind of gradual and negotiated transition, akin to Spain or a general collapse was...

And what about Quebec's internal developments? Partition, Anglos, negotiations with rest of Canada?

Imagine that a "Yes" victory on the 1995 Quebec Referendum was already discussed in several topics...However, is always an interesting hypothesis to be re-discussed.... How do you imagine a 31st. October 1995 morning (and the following days, months and years) in case of an inverted result on...

Please continue as Mazzili and Neves would make a very odd political couple (Mazzili was a "army-friendly conservative" whereas Neves was a kind of "more centralist Jango")...something that I'd like to see in the TL is the gloomy perspective of 1964' Brazilian economy and its impacts political...

Very nice...so, seems that OTL Israel would become a more right-wing and conservative state than the alternate Ex-Soviet Jewish state, right? How would the relations between the two states develop, especially after the 1990s?

General question: any Soviet-created state (ex: Crimea, Budjak) would be viable after the USSR collapse??

A Capitalist Israel and a Communist Birobidzhan or East Prussia would be even more interesting.....

What if not one, but two, Jewish states were formed at the 20th. Century. Let's say one as OTL Israel and other arising from previous homeland proposals, such as the British Uganda Plan or the Madagascar Plan? How would the two states relate and the impacts in the worldwide Jewish population?

Maybe also Jordan (from 10 MM inhabitants, 2 MM are Palestine refugees...)

Other relevant item is that, IMHO, Japan lost a bit of traction to move to a Post-Industrial economy (e.g: Dot.Com). Although one of most technological countries in the world and maybe the second soft power in the world (manga, anime, japanese cuisine etc), seems that Japan never really got the...

In a short run (avoid the Crash, or better, transform OTL Crash in a more normal downturn), BOJ should have started to act by mid-1987 in order to deflate the huge asset bubble that was on formation. In OTL BOJ expressed worries about a overheated economy in 1987 but took little action...

WI, some how, Scandinavians never get to Iceland (maybe an earlier viking decline or more focus on settlement in England)...who would get there and when? A Gaellic Iceland would be a possibility?
