Ah, that's true, a detail I overlooked. Even if the war finished in the next update, Nixon wouldn't have enough time to campaign successfully against Voorhis in California's 12th congressional district in time for the elections of 1946. The Republican candidate selection committee would have...

Red, I spent the day reading the entirety of your timeline, after reading a few installments here and there, liking them quite a bit, yet not having enough time to read it all. Wonderful job so far! This is grimdark indeed, but delightfully plausible and well-researched enough that I suspend my...

Gosh, I'm worried for China and Europe ITTL. A lot of ugly is about to spread to the rest of the world, now that it's 1939. :( I think that Guantanamo Bay might stay independent for a while, but there are still enemies abroad. They are under Cuban protection, which means that a lot of those...

Cool! So the Butjupa and Yalatji are in some ways analogues of the Plains Indians who adapted new Old World animals to their way of life... but more than that as well, because they were settled agricultural peoples before who had even begun working their own iron. I like where you're going...

I love the recent developments! It seems the Storm practically put the war on hold at least in the Mid-Atlantic, buying the Reds time, and generally hurting the position of the Whites. However, the Khakis were hit even harder. Even so it can be assumed the majority of Khaki territory around...

I'm fully on the side that says the indigenous Amerindian civilizations could have resisted the Europeans better than they did. As I was researching primary texts and secondary analyses for my timeline, Cortés kills Narváez at Veracruz, 1520, I was overcome with the realization that many of the...

There's no set format for a "timeline". You can just write the events following the point of divergence as if its a textbook, or actually break it down from year-to-year, or you can write the timeline in the same way historical fiction is written. It's up to you, however you want to illustrate...

When do you think syphilis would have killed Rudolf had he avoided his suicidal tendencies?

This is a cool first thread, Goorat. I've never heard of the Mayerling Incident, but I looked up the basics. What a fascinating murder mystery! From what it looks like, without the Mayerling Incident, Sisi's depression would have been much less severe, so she may not have traveled as often...

Maybe Cortes kills Narvaez at Veracruz instead of imprisoning him, and his murder prompts him to take the Aztec Empire for himself, instead of for Spain? And then a hurricane destroys the Spanish fleet sent to take back Mexico?

I love the most recent posts, Jared! And I like the length of each installment, they give me a lot to think about.

So it looks like in Maine we have a ex-fighter pilot as the governor and Major General Fox Conner, the mentor of Dwight Eisenhower and George C. Marshall, as the real power behind the government. And it looks like he could switch sides from MacArthur if better options became available. Very...

Damn, confused Friedrich with Max Weber. My comment was ruined. :(

What I'm wondering at this moment is what the various forces do with the ships under construction. Would they have the workers, administrative efficiency, supplies, and technical proficiency to complete them? Would they try to move the ships farther away from the battle lines (in the case of New...

Damn that's some hardcore detailed naval information. We still haven't heard much about what the US Navy is doing in the civil war...

Albania, Mesopotamia, the Arabian Peninsula, and Libya are causing the successors of the Ottoman Revolution some headaches. Bornu is gaining influence, especially in Libya. The Persian monarchy has practically finished transforming Libya into an absolutist state, using territorial expansion and...

That was my assumption in the aforementioned thread in which the Columbian expedition failed to return to Europe, and why I kept the Cabralian discovery, because it was only a matter of time before someone used that route to go around Africa and ended up running into South America anyway. In...

The LDS Church governed Utah territory as, more-or-less, a de facto theocracy, if not de jure through much of the 1800s. The church is only a generation removed from when the US government was about to dissolve the LDS Church, seize all of their property, and force the leadership and members...

Following recent developments, I feel strongly that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints along with the Utah state government (with which the church had gained much influence since the end of polygamy) would openly support the Macarthur military government of which they are becoming...

I loved the Polandball update, Ephraim! I think it illustrates how well the American Communists are doing and how much support they have! What a wild civil war. I can't tell right now how it's going to play out not in the slightest! I wonder in what direction Canada will take things.
