A quick German victory may put some form of the Madagascar Plan into effect although I wouldn't use the crux of the plan to wave away the horrors that the Jews would continue to experience under the Nazis.

And establish a new conflict with whichever local African group's land the Jews will be residing on.

Iran doesn't produce the same increased oil revenue that occurs with foreign investment and companies operating inside it's borders. The state under the National Front doesn't reach the same levels of wealth that Iran will under the Shah. The USA shows little interest in Iran and ignores them...

It might lead to less scrutiny of minorities in inner cities and less touchy racial tensions. Other than that I can't see any forseeable differences (although a white gang of a size comparable to the Crips would likely be divided upon further racial lines).

Please get to work on this ASAP, Cali.

THE POD of almost every post-1900 political timeline is the death of a candidate who went on to win in OTL.

The Business Plot brought to full fruition? This sounds like a fun idea, DISSIDENT, I imagine a far more radical American left as a result of this. I'm following with earnest.

As a recent graduate of the British Columbia public school system, I can attest to this. Battles, campaigns, important dates, who's who, the events leading up to the war etc. take a back seat to domestic social issues (in our case it was mistreatment of Japanese Canadians, the Aboriginal...

OOC: That's true, Germany didn't flinch at harboring political and religious exiles from the Rus regardless of ideology. However, the Bolsheviks were in close contact with German agents through Norway as early as 1915, as Pipes writes in A Concise History of the Russian Revolution. What you...

OOC: Not to mention that in this ATL, Kornilov and the other pseudo-dictators who followed him would have jumped at every chance to vilify the failed Bolsheviks in an effort to sway possible imitators away from their direction. Remember, this is a TL where Russia presumably stayed in the war up...

The domestic situation which would preceed a Russia forced to leave the war effort early would leave the state no worse for the wear. An independent Ukraine is inevitable at this point, moreso with a delicate Bolshevik coalition unable to decide upon a solid recovery startegy. St. Petersburg...

But he could have been the adhesive that could unite the Bolsheviks and keep them together. It's true, he had little throwing weight against more eminent intellectuals such as Trotsky and Kamenev, but he was an ambitious creator and a man of shrewd practicality, as evidenced by his large part in...

The 18th amendment would likely have been avoided, as Methodist temperance groups would have little throwing power in a largely deist country. That doesn't throw prohibition right out of the window, I imagine it would become largely a state issue. I'm not sure what the spiritual demographics of...

Liberia does seem to be the most plausible site for the USA rooting itself firmly in the Scramble for Africa. Is there any possibility that the Barbary Wars get out of hand at the beginning of the 19th century, leading to a coalition of European nations alongside the USA to declare war on...

As others have said, the Bolsheviks sound to me like a peculiar, fringe group. I can see no viable way that an alliance of St. Petersburg intellectual elites can maintain any workable alliance with non-partisan soldiers, industrial workers, and the agrarian pseudo-serfs (who were apparently far...

Quasi-Paris commune?

This. The Japanese knew by the summer of '45 that they had no realistic prospect of winning the war. Operation Ketsugo was put in place to ensure that the cost of conquering Japan would be too high for the allies to accept. A large worry was a possible invasion of Soviet forces in Hokkaido via...

I'm currently looking into, and beginning the first draft of an alternate long nineteenth century for France. One of the ideas that I have been playing around with is the possibility of having a stable Second Republic without the ascencion of Louis-Napoleon as President? It's my understanding...
