Pretty good timeline but Democrats sound too liberal. Remember this is Dick Gephardt we're talking about here. Literally a corporate lobbyist.

Yes that was my point. All of those are more in line with the movement conservatives of the 70s-early 80s. Bill Brock especially at that time.

I would think Bush would be looking to balance out the ticket somewhat. Maybe John Danforth, Bill Brock or Phil Crane?

March 9, 2005: Jim Shooter announces that investors Peter David, Tim Truman, and Larry Hama have contacted him about reviving the defunct Defiant Comics brand. June 8, 2012: Defiant Comics relaunches to critical praise. Initial titles include Charlemagne #1, The Chasm #1, Defiance in the Dark...

That depends on how strict your definition of 'Bolshevik' is. Even before he was killed Lenin was still pretty far from people like Trotsky and Kamenev on the particulars of economic policy. There was not a strong consensus on war-communism.

Related to something I was planning on writing. Events happen on schedule but with the problems in the United States infrastructure, there are some destructive butterflies.... May 30, 1932: Borealis lights up night skies disrupts wires across the United States, causing among other things the...

Well in real life there was actually "War Plan Red," a scenario the U.S. Military came up with in the event that they did feel the need to invade Canada. That could get leaked and cause major diplomatic tensions with Britain in the 1930s. Bit of a stretch though, even given the dystopian slant...

September 21, 1934: The 1934 Muroto typhoon did not take place. While the region does suffer damage in the future, the avoidance of the catastrophe means that the Japanese munitions industry and economy overall is significantly stronger for the next 5 years than it was in OTL.

September 26, 1933: There is no Tampico Hurricane. The town becomes a popular tourist destination for Mexico.

Here's an idea just to add a bit of "rule of cool" to the ATL. What about throwing in a few concept cars? Like the original 2003 Infiniti Triant... http://oldconceptcars.com/1930-2004/infiniti-triant-concept-2003/

If you want to get weirder, these are based on real incidents in OTL: August 12, 2013: UFOs are sighted over North Korea. Video tape is leaked at great risk by anonymous source at outskirts of Pyongyang. November 21, 2015: "Horseshoe shaped UFOs" are sighted in North Korea and South...

August 14, 1962: "Melvin, Brother of the Joker" is introduced in Batman #(insert number), quickly becoming a fan favorite for his outrageous antics.

November ??, 1961: Human Torch #1 (Marvel Comics) re-imagines the Human Torch as a teenage superhero, Johnny Storm.

August 16, 1962: Danger #4 (I.W./Super Comics) revives the 1940s character "Spider-Woman" with a new origin, after re-prints of her stories prove to be unexpectedly popular. October 15, 1964: Israel Waldman begins talking to Charlton comics about a possible merger.

Yeah if this is canon... I can already tell this is going to end *at best* with the PRC and USSR doing a role reversal in terms of how things played out in the 1980s. Maybe you get Baibakov or someone like that in office, he had some credibility.

September 14, 1963: Fantastic Adventures #9 (I.W./Super Comics) "A for Avenger" storyline revives the popular 1950s character Roger Wright as head of a new team of superheroes. http://www.toonopedia.com/avenger.htm

Thank you for the kind offer! I could actually use some help with another thread, we can discuss the details on it and this one through PM if you're up for that. I've been unusually busy the last few days.

What's strange is that I was actually going to add this event but was waiting for evening to kind of put the finishing touches. The only bits I'm unsure of are the cities but only because I don't want to get too far ahead in the ATL. Apologies for the delay, I'll have the finished 'first draft'...

Hm, maybe something echoing the old Kurgan hypothesis? Although the proposed date of the POD is far earlier than that. There's a ton of possibilities.

Anyone interested in doing a "Caveman Movie" style collaborative timeline? Nothing flat out ASB like dinosaurs but too detailed to really be historical fiction. I'm thinking the POD could be around 43,000 years BCE. That coincides with the discovery of fossils in areas like Italy and France of...
