    Mao Zedong dies in 1956

    Saying that Chinese people would be a plurality in Zimbabwe and South Africa is pretty firmly in wingnut territory though.

    Mao Zedong dies in 1956

    Where are you people getting this wingnut nonsense about the one child policy? Mao had nothing to do with it and probably wouldn't have supported it. The one child policy came about in the 80's.

    Curtain Call: The end of a one-party USA

    Probably. To be honest, it's been so long that I have to reread certain parts of the posts to get reacquainted with the story and my plans for the TL. The map I posted earlier isn't necessarily canon and anything that isn't written is not set in stone yet. On the subject of the US in Africa...

    Part IV: Rotterdam and Rumba ...The Rotterdam Connection... Like most sprawling empires, the US and the Soviets had their respective 'spheres of influence' that were an interesting mix of national prestige project and black hole. Both also had serious ideological issues and national...

    Threadmarks: III: Some like it hot

    Part III: Some like it hot The Presidential elections and concurrent congressional elections were clearly going to be hotly contested. Lots of money went into advertising and each major candidate spent several million dollars (mostly gained via small donations) on advertising. Even the Worker's...

    Threadmarks: II: The road to '87

    Part II: The road to '87 Elections are trying times, especially for moribund and unpopular parties like the Labor Party. It didn't take many polls (a new science in America) conducted by the party to figure out that even with all of the restraints currently in place the party would still lose...

    Curtain Call: The end of a one-party USA

    Thank you. The Soviets are a different breed here, not nearly as moribund (oh boy do I love that word) as it was at this point historically. I don't have the Soviet's political history 100% planned out but the Soviet Union was founded later on than in OTL and is partially computerized which...

    Curtain Call: The end of a one-party USA

    I'll need to make one more context focused post but that can come later. We're going to begin in earnest now.

    No Kim il-Sung: How does North Korea develop?

    Granddad Kim kept the Norks out of most of the China versus Soviet stuff and was basically isolationist except when they wanted to get crap from the Soviets. He also kept the lid on the pro-Chinese groups in the DPRK (both real and perceived) and this is something that the North Koreans have...

    US Politics WI - Republicans end up setting precedent in electing first Black and Female Presidents

    IIRC there was some chit chat of Condi Rice running in 2008. So you could get 2 birds with 1 stone if you can manage it with a smart POD.

    WI: Petain joins the Free French Forces?

    Petain wouldn't join the Free French. Not in any situation looking like OTL anyway. After the defeat of the French in 1940, the individuals who joined the Free French were people who were for continuing the war against the Germans. This was very much a minority position in 1940, and the idea of...

    Part 41: The theories of a Georgian (Finale) The study of nations and civilizations is an odd field. Many men have come up with many theories and hypotheses about the path of nations. Marx, Hegel, Spengler, Ibn Khaldun, the list rolls and rolls on of men who try to understand the direction...

    Part 40: Anxieties and Missteps On the precipice of the next millennium the Conservatives were lacking leadership and control. While Gingrich and others tried to keep things close to Reagan as they want him remembered, the party's voters took things in a different direction. The lack of...
