What if Nazi remnants in West Germany managed to successfully stage a coup against the FRG and its western backers in the 50s, leaving Germany divided between a new Reich and the GDR?
White supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke came horrifyingly close to being elected governor of the U.S. state of Louisiana in 1991. What do you think would happen if he actually succeeded?

I just got back from watching The Force Awakens, it was awesome. How would you fell if the Race (from Harry Turtledove's Worldwar novels) made a cameo in the new Star Wars sequel trilogy, similar to how E.T.'s species made a cameo in The Phantom Menace?
