  1. WI: Mexico joins the central powers in WW1?

    Would the US really want northern Mexico? I may understand Baja, but would all of these non English speakers really make life easier?
  2. AH Challenge: Make south-eastern Europe one nation

    Before 1918? How about a more sucessful Minoan empire. . . No Theseus POD!
  3. Reagan's Alzheimer's accelerates

    I really don't think anyone would want a third termer president. This would definately help out Bush 1. The only real question is, would he serve out the remainder of Reagan's term and then another, or go on for almost 10 years? Would he even try? With the changes presented, there's no real...
  4. FDR-Wallace-Taft

    So. . . Taft is kept as VP, FDR still kicks the bucket, and Wallace delays launching nukes. An attempted land invasion in Japan leads to massive loss of life, and the war begins to lose popularity. Eventually a nuke is dropped, but it recieves more scrutiny. Due to the changes, generals are...
  5. Weakest United States

    Republican Party goes paleo.
  6. AH Challenge- non politician president

    With a POD after 1968, could a never elected American with no significant military expirience gain a main party nomination? Sure, Forbes tried, but did he really have a shot?
  7. USA buys Rupert's Land.

    How exactly did corporate takeovers work in the 18th century. . . I find it a little hard to believe it would function this way.
  8. Crusades and Anatolia.

    Also Baldwin I and II of Odessa (later Jerusalem) controlled the northern crusader border into Anatolia, and were openly hostile to the Byzantines.
  9. The 1001 Arabian PODs

    975: Nohadin lives longer
  10. 1899: Louis Armstrong is never born

    Though Armstrong was the greatest jazz performer, he really wasn't that revolutionary when it came to theory and organization. The swing era would still come around, and probably later movements as well. The biggest difference would be that individual soloists would have a markedly different...
  11. Plausibility Check: Independent Texas and California

    I find it hard to believe that either Texas or California would ever really want to be under British protection. Both independance movements seem to be masterminded by the Americans.
  12. President Rockefeller (1961-69)

    From what I can tell. . . .typically folks over exagerate how liberal Rockefeller was. Yah, yah, he ain't Goldwater or Reagan, but he is still both right of center and fits well into the recent history of the Republican Party. Oddly Rockefeller barily quallifies as a 'Rockefeller' Republican
  13. President H. Ross Perot

    yah know, a more competitive vice presidential candidate might give Perot the edge.
  14. liberal Republicans vs. Eisenhower

    POD: Dewey is somewhat more outspoken and slightly more liberal, and much more eloquent. In the hard fought Republican convention, he convinces the delegates to name him vice presidential candidate to Wendell Wilkie. This is a huge step for him because he was formerly just a New York...
  15. Squeaky clean Gingrich

    So, I know that Phsychologically this might work, but what if Gingrich rises to power as per OTL with his good old contract, and remains as tough and adament as OTL, BUT doesn't have problems with fidelity and personal gain scandals?
  16. XXth C: Discussion Thread

    302 pages. . .. 302 pages. . . this has become almost too huge to fathom.
  17. XXth C: Discussion Thread

    Glen, Tom, Imajin, et all, other then the Kennedy thing, which I can live with, the other events can be dealt with. I'll slightly retcon the Quentin events with events around them. Sorry, so sorry about the fuss.
  18. XXth C: Discussion Thread

    Wait, sorry, I made a mistake here, the 1976 event happens in 1974, and the 1977 event happens in '75
  19. XXth C: Discussion Thread

    Then all is well. Any objections to my Massachusetts political entries? Yes, I am going somewhere with them.
  20. XXth C: Discussion Thread

    Well, we'eve developed an all things considered pretty original time line, and the Kennedys are just an uncessary blip into clichedom. Now powerful Roosevelts also fit into that category, as does Hitler the painter, but I can live with thoes, it just seems like Kennedy is there for the sake of...
