    WW2/Cold War if Alaska had been part of the USSR?

    Assuming the Russian Empire never sold off Alaska, and it remained part of Russia/RSFSR... what would be the effects of that in WW2/Cold War? I'm thinking supplying the USSR would have been much easier during WW2, only for the North American Northwest to become extremely militarized by the 50s.

    WI Anglo-American War in the Early 20th Century

    The scenario is that there is no WW1, and the U.S. growing industrial might and ambitions led to a naval arms race against the U.K., which eventually leads to war in the early 1920s. How would the war go? Could the war expand to include Japan as an ally of the U.K.? What would be likely...

    A dominant party state is one in which there are elections with multiple independent parties, but one party always wins free and fair. How could this have come to pass? Maybe if the Republicans never recover after the Great Depression? Maybe Eisenhower runs as a Democrat? What would be the...
