The British parts of Kurdistan on the map could definately survive, and possibly attached to the French parts of Kurdistan in whole and certainly in part, but not much else

Here is something to consider. Before Peyton Manning turned the club around Indianapolis was not a very good football town and their lease with the RCA Dome will soon be coming to an end. It is very possible to see the Colts move again. Los Angeles is the most likely choice, but there is also...

The Confederacy claimed both New Mexico territory and Arizona territory (the borders ran east-west rather than north-south back then) but only had nominal control of Arizona territory at best and was booted out of New Mexico altogether, even though the Confederate Army did occupy Santa Fe for a...

The USA would definately be a world power, just not a Superpower.Its just too much of an industrial and economical power even without the South (in fact prior to the New Deal dragging the south into twentieth century, perhaps in better standings). Maybe the USA would look like the Federal...

Didn't Jack want to be a journalist? With his connections he can have just about any job in the world. Anyways Ted can still get involved in politics, once Joe is (and if he is) elected President of the United States someone will have to take his seat in the Senate. Edit: Also RB, since...

Interesting! So say LaFollette wins in 1932 and is POTUS until 1941, at which time his VP Charles McNary becomes POTUS and sees the country through the Second World War until his sudden death in early 1944. Vice President Alf Landon is able to win his the White House in his own right using the...

Not a bad little TL, I would make a couple of small suggestions if you do not mind. Replace Wellstone with centerist Democrat Evan Bayh in 2000 and 2004, then replace John Engler in 2008 with Mitt Romney running on a moderate platform. Signifying that the Reagan-Goldwater style of conservatism...

I wonder if it is possible for Congress to give the President emergency powers to deal with the situation? Perhaps we will see some sort of fascist or socialist revolution, and a Confederate Civil War.

Alfred Hugenberg would be an acceptable German leader in a no-Nazi TL, he shared many of Hitler's goals, and was a crazy son of a bitch, but not nearly as off the deep end as Adolf. So Hugenberg rebuilds the German Army, and to Stalin appears to be a great threat. Now add the United States...

Maybe a scenario similiar to this. Perhaps the US militarily intervenes in Cuba to topple Castro, giving Uncle Sam a huge black eye. Shortly after this DeGaulle uses Cuba as an excuse to withdrawal from NATO. Khruschev remains in power until his death in 1971, and he is succeeded by a reformer...

Without resorting to ASB, have the Mughal Empire revived in post-colonial India, complete with monarchy.

The Braves nearly had him signed in 1992/1993 timeframe but the deal fell through. They also came close to trading Dave Justice and Kent Mercker or Mike Stanton to Pittsburgh for Bonds in 1992. Would have been interesting, and would have been a better deal for the Pirates as Justice would...

1991 is actually easy, I was pulling for Atlanta in spite of being a Baltimore fan. Two things I remember one was very controversial at the time with Kent Hrbek pulling Ron Gants leg off of first base and the umpire calling Gant out. That was a bogus call and heads should have rolled for it...

Me too, I am at work right now so it will be a while before I can put something together for you

Dwight Eisenhower - A career military man, retires in obscurity and dies quietly in 1965 Richard Nixon - World Class Pianist JFK - Editor in Chief for the New York Times and a playboy RFK - Became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Jimmy Carter - The vocal and recognized leader of the...

This isnt too difficult Babe Ruth is sold by the Baltimore Orioles to the Philadelphia Athletics (as opposed to the Boston Red Sox). The A's remain a dominant team in the 1920s (when historically they bottomed out) and into the 1930's. With Ruth causing games to be sold out day after day...

Wheeling, WV - At the time of the Civil War it was one of the largest cities in the Union (and briefly in the Confederacy), it was also the capital of the new state of West Virginia and is nestled nicely between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, major industrial centers at the turn of the century. Its...

More often than not if the POD takes place before the American Civil War the south will win, although the South winning is a popular POD, even when its not the POD it occurs in alot of TL's If there is an independent CSA, then the United States compensates its losses by taking Canada Cuba...

Apartheid – Like OTL Apartheid came to dominate South African politics in the mid to late twentieth century and was gradually repealed through a series of laws until the practice was formally ended in 1987. Asian Tigers – Although traditionally considered to be the recently highly developed...

Albania WAS part of the Warsaw Pact, as I stated earlier Enver Hoxha had his own agenda and was isolated from the Red Army so he could march out of step with Russia. Hoxha left the WP in the 1960's so he could strengthen relations with the Chinese.
