I really think he'd be somewhat villified by some elements of the Right. Maybe his extra-marital affairs would be revealed in the 70s, really hurting some of his credibility. This would come into play if he ran for office, which I think he'd attempt to do at some point. Obviously, though...

Very good TL that is surprisingly not touched upon more. I think this would have immediate impact upon the USA, especially with the high casualties. Coming relatively soon after the Gulf War, it will be quite a surprise once casualty rates in the thousands pour into American media outlets...

Very good topic, and as you said, appropriate for MLK Day. If this happens, then expect more support for George Wallace. The Republicans will lose ALOT of Southern support, and I think Humphrey wins in 1968. Of course, I expect someone to totally shatter this opinion, so we'll see who's next. :)

Hmmm....your analysis of number one is very feasible. It would have been difficult to have beaten Smoltz, Maddux, andGlavine in consecutive games. As for two, I think if it came down to Braves-Yankees, the Yankees win in 5 or 6, if not in a sweep. Yet again speaking as a fan of the Braves...

Seeing the NFL thread, I thought about my favorite sport, baseball. Try these: Leyritz doesn't hit his HR against the Braves(my favorite sports team) in 1996, and the Yanks lose Game 4 to go down 3-1. Could they still win the series? The Diamondbacks lose to St. Louis in the 2001 NLDS...

Have you guys seen the Playoff commercials about NFL what ifs? Like, what if San Fran lost to Dallas in 1982, and the Bengals win the SB that year? It is complete with a #87 Jerry Rice jersey when he played with Cincy in this ATL. Anyway, what about these PODs? Dallas defeats Pittsburgh in...

Ah yes, one of my favorite television shows. I think it was explained that the POD for the show, if looked at from an ATL standpoint, is that George Washington takes office in 1790, and not in 1789. It would throw off the elections by two years, which would create some interesting scenarios...

Being an African American also, I can agree with you Michael about the Confederacy. But hopefully, this will not turn into a flame war. Did you check my message on the other board? He certainly was a Radical Republican, but I've gotta think it would have been very hard to get any real...

Very good film. I think it is very loosely based on actual events; it would certainly not have been good for German-American relations if it had happened in real life. :D

Well done, Walter. I totallly didn't even think of the religious differences of the two nations....very good observation from LDoc.

Try this website for starters: http://europeanhistory.about.com/ BTW, I know how you feel. I tried doing one TL a few months ago involving America annexing Mexico after the Mexican War, and it proved to be alot harder than I anticipated. It was fun doing the research, though.

I think a year by year, or maybe a decade by decade account, would be best for this TL. Try being concise, but any changes of course should be able to be explained from what you've typed so far. You'll do find; after all, aren't you experienced in this? As for TLs, I guess you could use...

Any experts on this time period on the board? I guess we could deal with the collapse of Spain's empire in Mexico, the Revolutions of 1848, and whatever else I can find online.

Those are some of the more popular PODs that I know, along with a few I haven't seen before. What about: What if Richard Nixon wins in 1960? What if Germany wins WWI? What if Mexico is annexed entirely by the US in 1848?

Interesting, LDoc. I guess Britain would act as a mediator, playing the two powers off of each other. What about the 1848 Revolutions? I don't know too much about them, but would a unified Germany change things in that regard? Another thing that could change: Imperialism. The race for...

Hmmm....I'll give some suggestions tomorrow. I need a bit of time to think about it.

Maybe I could, but I'm gonna be busy myself with school.....maybe Straha would help?

Ah yes, it most certainly is.....:D

Thinking about doing a formal TL? This is a POD I've never seen explored before. I guess the Ottomans would join the Brits, thanks to Russia on France's side. Interesting war this would prove to be....Russia and Italy would handle Austria-Hungary and Germany, while France squares off with GB and...

Fascinating!! I briefly thought of Huey Long when I was typing about the South, but I didn't know about the 1924 defeat. But, do you think a Conservative backlash is possible still? Or are his programs just that successful?
