  1. FDR dies on December 6, 1941

    Arguably if he died the attack might be delayed, the Japanese might consider that attacking a nation in mourning would be both dishonorable and inadvisable.

  2. What Should Herbert Hoover Have Done Differently?

    Probably not, or very few

  3. RFK '68 Landslide?

    I don't think RFK could win in 68. As mentioned above HHH had a solid delegate lead (my information says he was a bit short but would have made it up with southern machine delegates who would do anything to stop RFK). Plus RFK and Eugene McCarthy were splitting anti HHH vote and were not going...

  4. How would a modern 21st century Nazi Germany look like?

    Must resist politics......

  5. Crisis in the Kremlin - Our 1982 USSR

    F: Romanov for Tsar... I mean General Secretary

  6. Revolución Hondureña: A Fictional Dictator TL

    Just 100% of the vote ?? Any dictator worth their salt can get several times the total population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1927_Liberian_general_election

  7. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    Well Shirley Hustedler is a real possibility, first female nominee, possibly for CJ and/or Fortas seat if he goes to CJ Frank Johnston of Alabama, a rare southern liberal a real possibility for Black seat Archibald Cox is an option, especially if Douglas retires (as he planned to prior to...

  8. Jimmy Two: America in Carter's Second Term

    Great TL, though I debate if Stewart would have retired under a Carter WH. Of course you could see Brennan or Marshall step down so there would still be a vacancy

  9. Obscure or odd American election scenarios?

    if Wilkie/McNary wins in 1940 they both die before the end of the term making the Secretary of State President in 1944 Wlikie died in October IOTL so that would be right before election however he might well die sooner if POTUS

  10. Most Decent Contenders To Not Become POTUS

    Like it says on the tin, who do you find the most decent people who ran for but didn't become POTUS. Doesn't mean you have to agree with them on issues, just that you respect them. Preferably one or more from each party For example my clear 1st choice is Hubert Humphrey... I certainly have...

  11. What is the *actual* effect of the destruction of the BEF in May/June 1940

    I do think the issue is more political than military. From a military POV, even with a wipeout at Dunkirk the Germans just did not have the logistics to raise the mammal. But it could have led to the peace faction taking over and a quasi Finlandized UK then perhaps a joint war against USSR

  12. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    My thinking was more that Fortas wanted to get off court and back to lucrative law practice so he might choose to quit under HHH knowing that after 3 terms GOP would likely win in 72

  13. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    Let me think about that

  14. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    Another possible alternative, in 1957 Eisenhower appointed Charles Whittaker to the court but Whittaker only served 5 years because of health issues. This opened door for JFK to appoint Byron White, a very important Justice who served 30 yrs. So what if Eisenhower goes with one of the other...

  15. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    Thank you everyone for the comments so far and keep them coming !

  16. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    Consider now a HHH win in 1968, For sure he gets to replace Warren (already resigned), Black (died 1971) and Harlan (died 1971) Reports are that Douglas was planning to retire but refused under Nixon, so with HHH he does. And there is a decent chance Fortas still steps down Assuming HHH...

  17. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    Or William Hastie was a possible appointee a couple times, once under Eisenhower and also as an LBJ backup should Marshall fail.

  18. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    And likely would step down under Nixon (or we could have him and Black and Harlan all go in 1971)

  19. Tehran 1943 Succeeds... Who Takes Over

    So what happens if the Nazi's succeed in taking out FDR, Churchill and Stain in 1943 ? Who are the new leaders ? FDR is of course easiest... VP Henry Walace takes over. Churchill... in theory you have Attlee as Deputy PM but with Conservatives holding a majority I don't know they'd go there...

  20. Alternate Supreme Court Justices

    It's been a little while since we've had this type of thread so I thought I'd kick it off again. I've got quite a few to postulate but I'll start with this one. 1968 and Warren replacement I think the big issue there was LBJ trying to get two cronies in (Fortas and Thornberry), if he'd done...
