    Alternate History - Adolf Hitler?

    Well, maybe some people might initially find such a story to be unsettling, but in reality, Hitler died three quarters of a century ago so maybe there will come a point where he will be just another historical figure such as Ghengis Khan or Caligula? At any rate, I was just wondering if...

    Alternate History - Adolf Hitler?

    Or, I was thinking that maybe he'd take a completely different career path, maybe he'd end up studying religion or doing charity work in the third world. From one extreme to the other.

    Alternate History - Adolf Hitler?

    By most accounts Adolf Hitler's childhood was pretty dysfunctional, and probably contributed greatly to the type of person he became in his adult life. Also, a few years ago someone posed the question, "If you could travel back in time and strangle baby Hitler in his crib, would you do so?"…...

    TL-191 Version of 1984

    In my opinion, the 191 version of the United States might be somewhat slightly more authoritarian than our timeline, so I’m not certain that authorities would be very tolerant of a novel such as George Orwell’s 1984, which tends to point out the flaws in totalitarian government. Maybe a book...

    Pop-culture in TL-191

    You know, the other day I was thinking to myself...Hmm in the 191 universe Arnold Schwarzenegger's family is probably still living over in Austria, so who would play the Terminator? Well, Kevin Bacon looks a little bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the face, so I guess he'd have to play the...

    Timeline 191 - The last citizens of the Confederate states of America Part 2 of 2

    Actually, I couldn't make up my mind as I dreamed up the above, so after a while I just tried to leave it open ended until a later point.

    HBO's The Plot Against America

    And at the end of the final episode an announcer will proclaim, "...And remember folks, a vote for Elizabeth Warren is a vote against fascism!" - I don't mind people using art to express their political views, but there comes a point when it is no loner entertaining, and it just turns into a...

    Below is a couple of quick questions for anyone who managed to make it all the way through, The last citizens of the Confederate State of America, Part 1 & 2. There are no right or wrong answers, and I'd just like to hear the opinions of others regarding the below points. Did the US government...

    HBO's The Plot Against America

    Seems rather ho-hum and rather predictable.

    TL-191: What if the Red Rebellion succeeded?

    In my opinion, in order for the Red Rebellion to succeed, it would have to receive large amounts of continual aid from an outside benefactor, and something would have to prevent the CS from reinvading and destroying the Socialist republic set up on the CS's former soil. Maybe a socialist...

    Timeline 191 - Possibility of a Southerner becoming US President

    But, weren't Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson both born in Texas? Also, Truman was born in Missouri which was kind of a border state.

    Timeline 191 - Possibility of a Southerner becoming US President

    I've read through your continuation story, and it appears to be in sync with the general tone set by Turtledove during the 191 series. Also, although our continuation stories are very different from one another, they do seem to have a few points in common which I've outlined below: 1. We...

    Timeline 191 - The last citizens of the Confederate states of America Part 1 of 2

    I was wondering if anyone has tried copying and pasting the above story into a text reader program in order to listen to listen to it on speakers? I tried listening to both part 1 and part 2 in the text reader that comes with MS Word, and it seemed to play relatively well. Although it took...

    Timeline 191 - The last citizens of the Confederate states of America Part 2 of 2

    In my continuation story I was imagining that the US granted Canada independence in 1946, due to the fact that the US needs additional occupation troops in the defeated Confederacy. The official name of Canada is the Federal Republic of Canada, and it is a constitutional republic with a...

    Timeline 191 - The last citizens of the Confederate states of America Part 2 of 2

    In one of my earlier continuation stories I had Jerry Dover being taken by the US government to Hollywood in 1945, so that Dover could assist the US government in making propaganda films to be shown throughout the defeated Confederacy. At first Dover doesn't like this new role that has been...

    Timeline 191 - The last citizens of the Confederate states of America Part 2 of 2

    That could be true, and his story seems to be spun in such a manner as to say, "So what if I'm a war-criminal, the black guerrillas supported by the US also committed atrocities after the official surrender, but no one cares about that." Maybe his story is just a little bit too convenient, or...
