If the Kerensky succeeds it will probably because he acts more decisively during the July days uprising. Lenin,et al are shot as traitors.

Actually it was much closer than that. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-33755182 "But in early June 1945, Secretary of War Henry Stimson ordered Kyoto to be removed from the target list. He argued that it was of cultural importance and that it was not a military target. "The military...

Whatever wilson was doing is irrelevant because wilson is dead of a stroke in this timeline. Thomas Marshall becomes president LON treaty passes the senate. Lets assume somehow the vietnamese delegation does meet with Marshall at a LON meeting maybe its just 5 minutes and maybe marshall...

One scenario id thought is if the Flu of 1918 had been worse and everyone just agreed to a ceasefire/armistice because of the mounting civilian deaths from the flu.

The most possible way would be where soviets allow the east germans to have a demilitarized democratic socialist state with multiple competing left wing parties. Instead of jailing Wolfgang Harich they embrace his program of humanistic multiparty socialism in the mid 50s.

"Instead of the rapid spread of 16 and later 32-bit IBM-compatible desktop PCs for home use, average home computer users get a "dumb" terminal, essentially a monitor, a keyboard and perhaps later a mouse, with almost no processing power, which communicates with a centrally located mainframe...

If he doesnt execute him the most likely punishment would be banishment from Judea. Possibly you could have Jesus wandering the world until hes an old man.

"In what direction would Europe have developed if the Roman Empire had not accepted Christianity as its official religion." Roman culture comes from roman civilization and roman law which predated christianity in OTL. Notice it does not say no christianity it just says no official...

USSR best hope is to win and win quickly. The longer the battles take more in NATOs favor as the US can achieve air superiority and bring tank-killers like the A-10 into play and disrupting the soviet supply lines. Having numerical superiority in tanks was great in WWII but against a country...

1) A communist britain in the late 20s might butterfly away third reich as germany would stop making reparation payments to britain. 2) Indian Raj might refuse to recognize the new government and recognize only the crown and declare themselves a dominion.

Famicom may still be a market leader BUT with dozens of 7800 games available, 7800 would be a strong established console instead of latecomer. Also such cool ideas as the high score cartridge(which allowed for saved games) would have likely been integrated into later versions.

The question is how do they win. If the Ummayads kill charles martel. His son Pippin would only be 18 years old at this point. Frankish kingdom might be in peril but I would imagine the caliphate forces are already overextended. If Charles retreats and then returns to fight again, he likely...
