    Effects if Nixon resigns for health reasons instead of Watergate?

    POD: The guy Nixon hires to bug the 1972 DNC is slightly more ocmpetent and doesn't get caught. Nixon gets reelected without any looming scandal, is able to continue being POTUS without "watergate" becoming a household name. Yeah, the story gradually leaks out in the 90s and 2000s but Nixon...

    What if: Kennedy resignation for health reasons instead of assasination in 1963?

    So, let's say that JFK's addison's disease proceeds a bit faster, he's rather ill so on 11/22/1963 instead of being in Dallas, he's in Washington DC to announce his resignation from the Presidency in favor of elevating Johnson after publicly admitting to his health problems, even apologizing for...

    Lifespan of USSR without Iran-Iraq war?

    So, on a blog post from 2007, Charlie Stross offered a bit of a WI. So, Saddam Hussein doesn't get the idea to try invading Iran, have him decide that he can wait out the shaky new regime or whatever. Thereforoe, there's no Iraq and Iran war, meaning both maintain oil production at 70s levels...

    DBWI: Anglo-Soviet pact against Germany in WWII

    As we all know, the second world war ended in fall 1946 with the nuclear destruction of Smolensk, Moscow and Leningrad as Allied forces crushed the comintern, fresh from their victory against Japan a year previous. The postwar order was of course "The Big Five" of the United States, Germany...

    Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    So who do you think is the most likely to win out of these? Assume things go middle of the road/reasonably well: Vietnam having been stabilized, Nixon/Kennedy able to come to an agreement on healthcare in 1974/1975 among other events to indicate it goes smoothly. My top three for most likely...

    Challenge: Avoid the rise of "objective" journalism in the United States

    With a post-1850 or post-1900, preferably POD your challenge is to prevent the rise of "objective"/"responsible" journalism of the sort that rose in the United States during the late victorian/progressive era and peaked in the mid-20th century. What repalces it? I suspect the result of whatever...

    WI: HHH becomes POTUS in 1965

    https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/hhh-becomes-potus-in-january-1965.26012/ Bringing back an OLD one. We don't see "what if LBJ dies in 1965" often. This one was quite interesting with Vietnam avoided and a quieter 1960s to 1970s in some ways. There's RFK, but he's portrayed as...

    WI: Hays Code without Joseph Breen

    Joseph Breen ends up becoming a priest, instead of ending up involved as first a reporter, then in time Hollywood's chief censor. What's different during the code era without his involvement? Also what's different afterwards once it gets ended either formally or being "amended" enough times to...

    What if: Earlier moveable frame hives?

    I found this on tumblr of all things. So what does having knowledge of moveable frame hives as a Thing from much earlier on do? The only guesses I've got on this are that more places outside of bits of northern europe would have mead as a drink. Perhaps having more alcohol tolerance as a...

    AHC: Active resistance to suburban sprawl in 1940s-50s

    Recently, I was going through some old disussions and got reminded of a tidbit from early heinlein books. Stuff from the late 40s, including an essay where he assumed dispersal would be needed for national defense, but thought it'd take a police state to get americans out of the city. This...

    Most likely borders if ottomans collapse in 1880s

    I've seen it said on here and SHWI that the 1880s and 1890s were a period of vulnerability for the Ottoman empire, so let's run with it. The empire falls apart in the early 1880s to a mix of external pressure plus internal pressure. What do the borders look like afterwards? The first thing I...

    WI later settlement of the new world

    Handwave away the original wave and make it so that through bad luck/chance the first settlement of the new world is around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago by proto-inuit. What changes from OTL's new world between say 3,000 BC to 1492?

    So, how would a version of the 1980s Democratic revolution ATL look in a world where the GOPer losing is the successor of a clean* Nixon?. Here is my initial thoughts on the subject, posting these bits in a new thread to avoid bumping too old of a thread The 6 years of changes would include...
