This is easy. Spain agrees to sell it to the US in the 1850s; the Southern strategy at the time was, IIRC, to carve three states out of Cuba. Assuming the Civil War doesn't go any differently, I'd bet that the new Cuban states would be accepted by around the end of Reconstruction.

A bit off topic, but... Khrushchev and Castro met in Harlem? As in, Harlem, New York?

How would the Arabistan residents feel about being under Saddam's rule? Namely, would they like it better than under Iranian rule?

I know only the barest amount of details on Bacon's Rebellion; was he even trying to establish a new government, and if so, what would it be like?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing...this has gotten me thinking now, on how such a republic would function, if it could even last, etc...

http://www.steam-trek.com/ Anyone ever heard of this site before?

Never heard of it; what's it about?

I was just thinking: is there any way that the American colonies (or some of them, at least) could have united against Britain earlier than OTL? Feel free to include Canada or the Caribbean colonies as 'American'. The only one I could think of off the top of my head is that New England...

Or perhaps Ike keeps Stevenson and attacks McCarthy, and helps ruin his credibility earlier than OTL.

I read somewhere that Eisenhower nearly chose to run for president as a memebr of the Democratic Party. How would history be changed if he did?

I was looking over my new Early Western Civ textbook, and it makes note of a theory that Minos, the legendary king of Knossos and the earliest Greek of note, was possibly a Phoenician king who travelled to Crete to establish his kingdom. That got me to thinking: What if, instead of the...

The Soviets manage to win the Cold War.

Anyone ever read the article in "The Onion" about Gerald Ford's pet rock dying? Again, off topic, but it reminded me of it...

Is Amid (Arabia-Iran) made up, also? And is the 1932 Pres. Hoover our friend J. Edgar, or someone else?

Britain doesn't give us Red River or Upper Maine, and keeps all of Oregon; no Alaska or Hawaii annexation, and no Spanish-American War...an independent California and Texas, maybe?

I've read that octopi are smarter than dogs, almost as smart as young kids...maybe if scuba-diivng catches on much bigger than OTL...

I saw a timeline where a longer WWI causes a temporary British People's Republic to be formed, but nothing permanent.

Instead of Scotland being granted its own Parliament, they become independent.

I seem to recall that Nero was the one who officially began Christian persecution. With no emperor, that'd certainly not happen, although I suppose it's entirely possible that some upstart consul could do it. And on the subjetc, with no emperor to officially declare Rome a Christian nation (a...

Pluss, in this timeline, the skraelings would get the diseases centuries earlier than OTL, and thus have that much more time for the population to regrow (from what I've read, the Vikings wouldn't have aggressively expanded as much as OTL European settlers did). However, these Vikings would...
