  1. No Immigration Act of 1924

    The Immigration Act of 1924 sharply curtailed immigration to the United States. Asians were pretty much banned from entering the USA. Immigrations from Eastern and Southern Europe were effectively banned; their numbers were so small that more people from those parts of the world left the USA...

  2. WI: President Lincoln is not assassinated; what effects will it have on Reconstruction

    I accidentally posted a post-1900 scenario on this board, so here's my pre-1900 scenario, and I bet this has been discussed before. If President Lincoln is not assassinated and completes his second term, how will it affect Reconstruction? We know IRL Andrew Johnson succeeded Lincoln and was an...

  3. WI Gerald Ford does not pardon Richard Nixon

    Starting this thread because of the Trump indictment: WI President Ford does not pardon President Nixon and prosecution of Nixon for Watergate occurs. What butterflies result from this scenario? Three off the top of my head: 1. Nixon is convicted but the reluctance of sending a President to...

  4. Roosevelt chooses not to run for a third term in 1940. Who are the candidates, and who wins?

    As we all know, FDR was the first president to successfully run for a third term when he defeated Wendell Willkie in 1940. What happens if he chose to respect tradition and not run for a third term? I imagine that James Farley (postmaster general and an FDR favorite) and John Nance Garner...

  5. WI: UK/France strike Nazi Germany in March 1939 after the takeover of Czechoslovakia

    One of the most fascinating parts of the history of World War II was the run-up to the war. I always felt the UK and France had a strategic advantage against Germany if they decided the line that couldn't be crossed was Hitler taking over the rest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939. If the UK and...

  6. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)
    Threadmarks: Article 1: NBC Reevaluating Primetime Lineup

    One of the worst decisions ever made by a television network was NBC's cancellation of Star Trek (the Original Series) after its third season in 1969. After two years of middling ratings placed Star Trek in the Friday Night death time slot, at 10:00 PM, so fewer fans would be able to watch the...

  7. LT and Reggie: The Twin Towers of Defense, a Giants Dynasty

    What if Reggie White, who became a legendary defensive lineman on the Eagles and later the Green Bay Packers, was drafted out of the USFL by the Giants? It almost happened IRL, and Bill Parcells, at the time a rookie coach coming off a 3-12-1 season in 1983, begged Giants general manager and...

  8. WI General John Reynolds survives Gettysburg and the rest of the Civil War

    Having watched Gettysburg, I read a little bit about General Reynolds, and how officers on both sides considered him a first-rate corps commander. He was actually offered the Army of the Potomac command by Lincoln a month before Gettysburg but declined. WI Reynolds survives the war? Does anyone...

  9. WI the Korean War drags on another year

    Say the political will was present in the United States and South Korea, and they decide to keep the Korean War going into 1954. Is it possible, with a POD no later than the Chinese entry into the war, for the United States/UN/ROK to win and for Korea to be unified under Rhee, with a buffer zone...

  10. Blue and Orange: Dr. J, Larry Legend, and the New York Knicks Dynasty

  11. WI: Samantha Smith lives

    I always read this forum to check out some of the most interesting ALT HIST timelines and threads; some are chilling, others are more optimistic than our real timeline. I always wondered what would have become of Samantha Smith had she not died in that plane crash in 1985. For those who...
