    WI: FDR lives for another year.

    Although many had expected FDR to not complete his fourth term as President, few expected him to die only three months after his inauguration. My question is what if instead of dying on April 12th, 1945, FDR died on April 12th, 1946? It’s been assumed that FDR would have resigned after the end...

    A Military Response to The Iranian Revolution under President Ford

    First off this starts off with President Ford being elected in 1976. I believe this POD is too late to stop the Iranian Revolution.

    PC/WI: Hung UK Parliament in 1979

    The other day I was looking at the 1979 UK General Election on Wikipedia and noticed that the Conservative Party had a majority of twenty one seat majority.

    A Second Ford Administration and Iran.

    Let’s say Gerald Ford manages to squeeze a victory in 1976 and wins a second term in the White House, what happens to Iran? At this point it’s extremely unlikely the Iranian Revolution wouldn't happen. The powder keg had been lit and was ready to blow up. My question overall is what does a...

    In a scenario in which Ford manages to win against Jimmy Carter against in 1976, and his term roughly goes the same as Carter's (i.e. Inflation, High Unemployment, Iran Hostage Crisis, etc.) How likely is it that Walter Mondale is the Democratic Nominee in 1980? He got fairly good press as...

    WI:George VI has a son

    After watching the phenomenal Netflix series, The Crown, I thought of a question: what if HM George VI had another child, a boy, on November 20th, 1933. Let's call him Alexander.
