The Model B Ford Motor Company had plans for a vehicle in 1912 dubbed the Model A. It was slated to go into mass production by 1914, plans shelved when Ford converted its factories for the war effort. Founded in 1903, the Ford Motor Company struggled during the recession of 1907-11. As the...

I thought the Senate decided on the VP. Well, details that need to be worked out better. My point is to set up a cycle that angers the voters enough to push for abolishing the EC. After all, it's easy for 1/2 + 1 when there are two The Party or even three. Four, that makes things tricky.

Regime Change Even as late as November 1, Hughes retained hopes that he could carry the election. Never before had the industrial States been lost to the Labor Party, and despite their claims of gains, he was not convinced he would lose. After all, he followed the path laid out by Roosevelt...

It appears to actually be under the secret rule of the Dutch.

An interesting historical foot note, though perhaps not the most realistic addition to my work. I think it illustrates an important point on the German-American alliance and how it would hold after the war ended, even if not in total victory for Germany. The Velvet Divorce In 1924, Europe...

Thank you for pointing that out. It's just a little bit of a typo....

Cuba Libre By May 1924, Cuba was well on the path towards readmission. Of all the former Confederate States, it caused the least trouble to the occupation force. Whether that has to do with the occupation force comprising of Marines (as the USMC still claims as a deciding factor) or because of...

If Stallion is the name of a motorcycle manufacturer, then perhaps.

Ich habe ein schlechtes Gefühl dabei. Or somethin' like that.

And are they going to be chanting "CSA! CSA!" at the Olympics?

I'm rather bad when it comes to thinking up names for things. It seemed appropriate, at least for this outline. I'll have to think up something original if I ever publish.

Can't win when he's on your side either.

Earth has been infected by the purple itch! No wonder aliens never visit.

Alternative to Morphine Alcohol was not the only violence-inducing drug in America during the 1920s. Morphine, the forgotten drug, played a huge roll in financing various gangs and making ex-soldiers very wealthy men. Temperance movements screamed about the horrors of alcoholism while very few...

I have the feeling that White-on-White violence isn't going to trouble them greatly. The most likely analog Walker would have would be with a bounty hunter or a vigilante in the Old West, hunting down some notorious gang. From the standpoint of the 1920s, the Frontier didn't close all that long...

The Punisher Violence in the South was not always a strictly Black-and-White affair. Case in point, one Franklin Walker from Arkansas. He was born into a moderately prosperous family, one able to buy a commission in an Arkansas Division for Franklin. After the war, he returned home beaten but...

Up until the point when the Turks are on the receiving end of ethnic cleansing.

Wait until you see what happens to LBJ; and by LBJ I mean Leopold B. Jamison. Don't worry. This isn't going to turn into some book where the author kills off popular (at least here) characters just to get under the reader's skin.

Midterms, 1922 As the Congressional Election of 1922 came into sight, the Hughes Administration face a two-prong assault. In the industrial States, such as Ohio and Indiana, the deflating job market saw many previously enthusiastic Progressive supporters thrown out of work. More over, it saw...

New Holland from AHN; they used to butt heads with New Zealand over who gets to administer Tasman Island.
