Following the USA's independance, a similar movement for idependance emerges in Canada a few years later. This movement spreads after the British react with violent supression. Canadian independance is acheived after much fighting. After independance, many Canadians are in favour of...

Isn't that not so much of a "shrunken" US as an administrativley re-organised one? I'm assuming that the above idea does not involve the loss of any existing US-territory, but the integration of a number of states into larger-sized "super-states"? I get the inpression there is a widespread...

It might have a flag resembling something like Liberia's (which is very similar to the USA's): a single star with the red & white stripes. What could bring about this smaller USA? Perhaps a longer, harder and drawn-out war of independance that ends in some kind of stalemate. This might leave...

If I remember correctly, Independance Day has a very brief scene showing Iraqi and Israeli military forces working together against the aliens (you see their respective flags in two seperate shots whilst the soldiers are planning their moves). Sadly, I feel the V scenario would be the more...

Interestingly, on the old board archives someone posted the following about the 1984 timeline: "Maybe the repression in Britain is worse than anywhere else. Later, when logistics screw up the attempt at eternal war, the rest of Oceania comes to its senses and history is left with the...

The earleir posted mirror-timeline suggests a bit of both. During Hilter's global empire there was a "United Nazi Nations" (UNN) before it was toppled. Perhaps certain formalities and practices of the UNN had become so institutionalised by that point that they continued into the non-nazi era...

Perhaps in the 1984 timeline, it was a Britain falling into decline that started WW2 under Churchills's leadership in an attempt to restore a flagging empire? Perhaps Britain then went on to lose the war but was not annihalated in the way that Germany was in OTL, leaving the kind of isolated...

What would happen if the Romanian dictator, President Nicolai Ceausescu, had succeeded in crushing the revolution that toppled in in OTL? Would he (or his sucessor) still be in power to this day? I wonder if, in order to try and obtain oil wealth and thus prolong his regime, he'd have "done a...

As we can now see that things didn't turn out quite the way Orwell predicted in his novel, 1984, I now tend to consider this story to be an alternate history-type story. Do others agree? If so, how did the state of the world envisaged in the 1984 Timeline come about? My guess is that...

I've often felt that the "mirror" universe in Star Trek could more likely actually be our own. Not hard to see things headed that way if the world situation didn't improve... Interestingly, do the Nazi salutes of the mirror-Enterprise crew indicate a world history where Hitler maybe won WW2?

What if Israel had become a pro-Soviet state rather than a pro-western one? How would the collapse of the USSR have affected it?

I suppose that, had Hitler retreated back into Germany's borders and the rest of the world agreed some kind of "containment" policy, Nazi germany would have ended up as some weird, isolated North Korea-style regime. It might even have remained to this day, with a small, dictatorial one-party...

Interesting one. Not sure if he'd have been impeached, but I doubt he'd last beyond one term owing to his lack of a party support-base in congress - unless he managed to launch and build one in time for congressional elections. What's intriguing here is who would have come after him - Clinton or...
