  1. WI: Ford/Reagan 1976?

    After narrowly defeating Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination in 1976, President Gerald Ford decided to shore up conservative support by nominating Senator Bob Dole, approved by Reagan, as his running mate, replacing incumbent Vice President (and notable liberal Republican) Nelson...

  2. WI: Ronald Reagan in Casablanca?

    Yes, I know that this was just a rumor and that Reagan was never actually considered for the role of Rick Blaine that ultimately went to Humphrey Bogart, but, let's assume that, for whatever reason, Bogart is unable to take on the role, while Reagan is available. How does Reagan in Casablanca...

  3. WI: Richard Nixon Assassinated?

    Arthur Bremer, the man who attempted and failed to assassinate Democrat George Wallace on the campaign trail in 1972, was also planning to assassinate Richard Nixon. On April 10, 1972, Bremer was in Ottawa, where Nixon was visiting. However, security was too tight, and Bremer did not go through...

  4. For Truth and Justice

    I've decided to gather all of the infoboxes for For Truth and Justice here in one location to make it easier to find them. Here are the first five presidential elections. They are modified versions of the original ones I did, to make them more in line with the world that's been established so...

  5. President Gore vs. John McCain, 2004 - What happens to Lieberman?

    If Al Gore got a few more votes in Florida, he would've won the election. So, going off of that, let's say that Gore/Lieberman is elected over Bush/Cheney in 2000. 9/11 still happens anyways, and Gore goes into Afghanistan, as IOTL. The USA PATRIOT Act is passed anyways, and the GOP still makes...

  6. TLIAW: Blue Scare

    The United States of America, after the Treaty of Washington, 1940: Blues (Right-wing) - General Douglas MacArthur Reds (Left-wing) - President Huey Long So, what is this? It's a TLIAD. Really? No, I started writing this Thursday night, so it's more like a TLIAFD. EDIT: Well, now it's...

  7. WI: Franklin Roosevelt does not run for a third term?

    What if Franklin D. Roosevelt had decided not to break tradition and instead step down after only two terms? Who would be the Democratic frontrunners in 1940? Would Wendell Wilkie still be the Republican nominee? Remember, this is still during the Great Depression and World War II is on the...

  8. AHC: Flip Bill and Hillary Clinton's Presidencies

    Yes, I know that Hillary isn't actually a President yet, but she's most likely the next president. With a POD no earlier than 1979 (when Bill Clinton first became governor of Arkansas), flip the presidencies of the Clintons, so that Hillary Clinton is president during the 1990s, while Bill...

  9. WI: Scramble for China?

    While Qing China was weak and divided into spheres of influence by (among others) the British, French, Germans, Russians, and Japanese, it was never outright partitioned and/or colonized, like India and Africa were. However, in the late 19th century, could China be divided into...

  10. Question About the Prime Minister in Commonwealth Countries, WWII

    Apparently the British Parliament had a plan to appoint Jan Smuts as Prime Minister during World War II if Churchill died. However, at the time, Smuts was already Prime Minister of South Africa. I'm not familiar with British and Commonwealth politics, so forgive me if this sounds like a stupid...

  11. American Culture after Confederate Independence

    An often ignored or forgotten part of history is culture. IOTL, American culture is broadly similar to the rest of "Western" civilization, but has its own foods, customs, music, and other cultural aspects. Much of our culture has undoubtedly been affected by our history, and without the...

  12. AHC: The Union and Confederacy are Equally Powerful

    It's generally agreed that, even if the Confederacy somehow became independent, it would still be overshadowed by the United States, and if another war were to happen, the Union would win decisively. The Union had a larger population, more money, more factories, more railroads, and outproduced...

  13. WI: Gore runs in 2004?

    Apparently there was a pretty large movement to draft Al Gore into running as the Democratic nominee against President Bush in 2004. The election was pretty close IOTL even with Kerry, and there is historical precedence. The previous two presidents to be direct descendants of prior presidents...

  14. WI: Supreme Court declares no winner in Florida in 2000?

    The 2000 election was notorious for being incredibly close, coming down to only a few hundred votes in Florida. Ultimately, the Supreme Court ordered the recounts to end, and effectively gave all of Florida's electoral votes, and the presidency, to George Bush. However, what if the Supreme...

  15. AHC: Keep World War II as two separate wars

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to keep WWII as two separate wars, the Pacific War (USA+China vs. Imperial Japan) and the European War (UK+France+USSR vs. Nazi Germany+Fascist Italy), with a POD no later than 1937, the start of the Pacific Theater. Bonus points if you can do...

  16. TLIA(F)D: A Bucket of Warm Spit (or: Second Place Ain't Bad)

    Alben W. Barkley Democratic 1945-1949 With World War II coming to a close, Franklin Delano Roosevelt did what no man had ever done before: he sought a fourth term in office. Though his health was clearly declining, President Roosevelt was still incredibly popular, and would easily be...

  17. Reagan wins GOP nomination in 1976-How Well Does He Do?

    In 1976, President Gerald Ford encountered a strong primary challenge from former California governor and future president Ronald Reagan. Though Ford ultimately won the primary, he went on to lose the general election to Jimmy Carter (who would in turn lose his reelection bid to Reagan)...

  18. WI: Truman Defeats Dewey?

    And by that I men, what if Dewey actually did defeat Truman in 1948? Articles accidentally claiming that Truman is the winner are not required, but are a bonus. :p

  19. AHC: President Winston Churchill

    As it says. Make Winston Churchill President of the United States with a POD no later than 1900. Bonus points if he leads the USA during *World War II or in the 1940s. IOTL, Churchill's mother was American, so he would count as a "natural born citizen" due to one interpretation of the clause by...

  20. AHC/WI: Lieberman vs. McCain?

    IOTL, Joe Lieberman and John McCain are notorious for being extremely moderate for their respective parties. McCain is considered liberal for the Republicans, while Lieberman is considered conservative for the Democrats. Both Lieberman and McCain are rather close friends AFAIK, and I believe...
