Oops I got it wrong up there. OKC was 1995 (it's late). Even so, assuming a 9/94 assasination, I'd bet Clinton's death would take away a lot of the GOP's head of steam going into the fall election. Unless I miss my guess, the "Contract with America" (remember that?) would become a piece of...

Look Up Hey Archie Mike, did you read my first post?

First off, the Ottoman Navy would be smaller - no Goeben or Breslau. The Australians would have gone straight to the Western Front instead of Gallipoli. There wouldn't have been the slow, wasteful peripheral offensive from Suez up to Damascus (no Laurence of Arabia or Arab independence after the...

It depends... Lenin begat Hitler - without the fear of communist subversion emanating from a large state already conquered by the Reds (Comintern), the Nazis would have been a non-starter. There's a couple of different ways this could play out, starting from different PODs, mainly during World...

Trouble was, Austria's just too small to be trouble without the Hapsburg Empire. She only had a Population of about 5 million to Germany's 60 or so. It's useful to think of the country as a City-State (Vienna & its extended environs) rather than a continental power. And post World War I, that...

I'd bet they'd close down DC National and institute more thorough background checks on pilot's licenses. Maybe an "Aviation Exclusion Zone" around DC, enforced by constant USAF fighter patrols and SAMs. living through the time and considering them in retrospect, I'd guess that an assassination...

The Horrible Crimes of Bill "Slick Willy" Kli(n)ton!!! I get the idea that some of you don't like Bill too much (I'm assuming, of course, that this whole thread isn't Secret Service entrapment). Why? So far as this decade has gone, both personally and politically, the 90s were at least...

The age of Revolutions Have there ever been any timelines or discussions done on the American Revolution succeeding, but the French Revolution failing (Louis survives) or not occurring at all? Or Vice Versa - US no, France yes?

What were the relations like between the Bourbons and the Spanish Hapsburgs? The impression I have is that the Marie Antoinnette marriage was a ploy to warm previously icy relations between the two royal houses?

I don't think, however, that once the war had been won that the borders in North America would look anything like our own - Maybe a much larger Canada encompasing New England and Oregon Territory with a French or Spanish Louisiana squeezed between it and the Slave Republic. The Spanish or...

As for leaders, Andrew Jackson, Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, and Stephen Austin (or their equivalents) would be kicking around about this time...

1834 This is a tricky one. Assuming the failure of the Revolution (probably because the south doesn't join in and the rebellions in New England are stamped out), the most plausible date for a war for Southern independence would be 1834, when slavery in the British Empire was banned (I think it...
