Having one great power gain the Spanish Philippines, Dutch Indonesia, and British Malaya to unite greater Indomalaya under a single language and administration could lead to a more powerful Indonesia once it gained independence.

The threat that compelled Germany to the Great War, the economic potential of Russia, is fulfilled; saving Germany from being cut down time and time again by the West. So Russia peaks early instead of Germany, allowing Germany to be at the very least the USSR analog by the mid-20th century and...

Maybe in a surviving Confederacy timeline, the Populist Party still forms but is actively supported by Redshirts (civil war vet paramilitaries) instead of being opposed by them as per the OTL post-reconstruction South. Without the defeat in the war, there is nothing driving the "better elements"...

Maybe the changes begin with the Whigs. Instead of John Quincy Adams and his Adams Men, the post-Federalist organization that ultimately becomes the Whigs or National Republicans; in fact for the sake of just representing an ATL party with a name of equivalent generic quality, the National...

Stevenson proved himself during the Cuban Missile Crisis, is he shuffled to an advisory post rather than completely booted when they want to switch out Ambassadors tot he UN?

In most Cold War stuff I've looked at silo to silo was never part of counterforce, only the two or three control center bases were targets. So I think you are incorrect.

Counterforce you have a chance to win or for a peace, or to at least limit damage to yourself. Countervalue and you do nothing but guarantee that you, China, completely lose. Why invite the US to destroy your biggest population centers? Counterforce you have a much greater chance of knocking...

That is also based on the assumption the US did the same. The whole "China goes counterforce, US destroys China's population centers and energy sources" thing smacks of implausibility to me. Either the US is first striker and as such has a responsibility, perceived, to target nuclear and...

I don't think that's the way actual nuclear war planning worked. Most of the Cold War target maps I've seen combine nuclear capability targets (primary targets), such as I listed, with infrastructural ones like financial centers and oil production centers, as well as military and government HQ's.

Wouldn't SAC bases, the two or three main submarine ports, and the silo control centers (again, two or three installations) be the targets rather than major cities? Francis E. Warren AFB, Wyoming Minot AFB, North Dakota Malmstrom AFB, Montana Barksdale AFB, Louisiana Whiteman AFB, Missouri...

The Saar. The Ruhr. A European union of nations (a French led economic and military alliance not delegating power to a, presumably democratic, supranational body) stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals and excluding Britain. A divided Germany, but French (and West German) trade and relations...

Heath Survives 1975 1979: James Callaghan (Labour)[1] 1982: Barbara Castle (Labour) [2] [1] Despite being a hugely unpopular government, Labour wins re-election mostly due to Heath's victory in the 75' leadership election. As a result of both major parties being unpopular, the Liberals and...

With the Levantine a socialist multi-ethnic republic and the Anglo-French and interrelated Western-backed third world strongmen the second pole of the tripolar cold war in this timeline, I'm guessing Egypt is a key pet project of the Anglo-French Union and their alliance in this timeline?
