    What other countries could have been 'Koreanized'?

    Pakistan? Instead of Bangladesh declaring outright independence, have a Marxist-Leninist or Maoist revolution there that still claims the entirety of Pakistan but only rules the East. Because they still claim to represent all of Pakistan, they will still go by the name (People's Republic of...

    Romania joins Poland against Germany 1939

    Found a NYT article from December 1938 that says Romania is Nazi Germany's number one target, but Poland and Denmark were also insisting they were Germany's next target. The article suggests Germany wants Romanian land to have a wide front to invade Russia and take over Ukraine. It cites...

    Decolonisation if WW2 never happened?

    Would have happened in the 70s, 80s and maybe even 90s with the colonizing powers coming up with increasingly complicated word salads and mental gymnastics as justifications for why they should still be in charge

    Great Powers doomed despite the World Wars?

    it would likely be a “big 4” with Germany, Britain, America and Russia. And then a smaller group slightly behind them with France, Japan, and China

    Viewing the “80’s” as a politically long “decade” from 1978 to 1992?

    I’d say the 80s politics were just a continuation of the early 70s reactionary conservatism to the 60s. Really, it took a monumental screw up (Watergate) to interrupt the trend, but even Carter was a bit off from the stereotypical liberals of the time, and he only squeezed out one term. In a...

    WI: USA enters WW1 in 1914, Britain in 1917?

    It’s very hard to get a POD that keeps Britain out of the war AND gets America in it. While some think an east first strategy from Germany could accomplish Britain staying out, most of the British elite favored war with Germany before Belgium’s neutrality was violated. The conditions to leave...

    Romania joins Poland against Germany 1939

    I’d have to dig for more information, but I recall reading that Britain and France (Britain mostly) were more concerned with Germany invading Romania and capturing its oil fields, than with an invasion of Poland immediately after the fall of the second Czechoslovak republic. Romania joining the...

    Were Japan or Italy ever Great Powers?

    Italy was at the back end of the great power order, but probably just slips in there. Japan definitely was a great power from 1905-1945.

    Question: Were there fundamental differences between 1950s South Korea and 1960s South Vietnam?

    Yeah, there are some big differences between South Korea and South Vietnam that we can look at: National Identity - South Korea managed to create its own identity after unification plans fell through. They continued to claim all of Korea, but they saw North Korea as straight-up invaders during...

    Threadmarks: De Niro 07

    I'll be reviving this timeline. As a sneak peak of what's to come, here's an (AI generated) picture of President De Niro announcing a successful operation to kill Osama Bin Laden, 2007, just weeks after his debilitating stroke.

    Make the Progressive Party a serious third party

    Have TR run again in 1916, have La Follette reconcile with him and run as VP. Over the 20s have several strong local and national election runs. Slowly have both the progressive dems and progressive gop join the party, so that Progressive Party is the progressive choice, and Democratic Party and...

    Jimmy Carter in the '08 Obama Cabinet?

    If Obama wanted Jimmy in the cabinet for some reason, would Jimmy join? If so, what cabinet role would Jimmy take? Not sure what effect this would have for Obama popularity wise, but I think by 2008 Carter is held in higher regard than the 80s and 90s, so I'm assuming it would be a net...
