  1. Would a fascist US join Nazi Germany?

    I don't think so, no, and for two reasons. First, Hitler absolutely hated Americans and viewed the US as 'decayed' and Americans themselves as stupid. He apparently considered some Native Americans to be Aryan, but we don't really know much on that because he didn't talk about it a lot...

  2. The Restoration of the Monarchy of Afghanistan

    What you've said, though I may have phrased it horribly as admittedly I'm not really an Economics guy. What I do know is that the Afghan projects also saw a lot of money thrown into the economy that also sunk their currency, and while Kabul did grow dramatically, it didn't exactly help the...

  3. "Hipster" PMs and Presidents Thread

    I have another hipster president that I'm using for a timeline I'm writing. Jim Folsom, Governor of Alabama from 1947-1951 and again from 1955-1959. He was a New Deal Liberal who was a moderate on racial integration and civil rights, he was also Anti-Klan. Maybe he could be some kind of...

  4. AHC: The Governors of Predator

    As mentioned before, Sonny Landham did try to run for office in Kentucky a few times and may be the easiest to get elected. Maybe have him run for Governor of Kentucky earlier than he did, in 1995 where Paul Patton barely won the election. If Landham can avoid too many gaffes and take advantage...

  5. The Restoration of the Monarchy of Afghanistan

    I think it really depends on how the US handles it. While the King could be a useful tool for the people to rally around again, the Americans still have to help build a proper military and also do their best to not forcibly industrialize Afghanistan and crush their economy (They're Agrarian, so...

  6. "Hipster" PMs and Presidents Thread

    Clay Aiken miiight be an interesting one, though hard to get into a position where he can win. One route is have him go into politics earlier, maybe Bob Etheridge retires in 2008 instead of seeking re-election and Aiken could run for NC-2 6 years earlier. Granted, it was still a seat that...

  7. 2008 Election With a Southern Democrat?

    Sorta hard question to answer if you don't tell us who the white male from Texas is.. Looking at the Democratic Primaries for 2008, as far as Southern Democrats go, you have John Edwards running and theoretically could have Phil Bredesen (TN), Mark Warner (VA), Al Gore (TN), and Sam Nunn (GA)...

  8. Potential female candidates for US President in the 1980s

    While I wouldn't mind a President Ferraro, I feel like her best shot is in the 90s if she can win the 1992 Senate Election in NY (First, she has to win the primary). I don't think as a Representative her (or really anyone, tbf) has the best shot at becoming President though I could be wrong...

  9. Potential female candidates for US President in the 1980s

    Honestly, the only woman who comes to mind for Nixon to pick would be.. Margaret Chase Smith of Maine but I'm not entirely sure if 1968 America would accept a woman as VP. It also doesn't help that Smith had lost re-election OTL in 1972, so Ford doesn't really have much reason to choose her...

  10. Potential female candidates for US President in the 1980s

    I think the earliest you can get a woman elected in the 80s is... 1988. I'm thinking this largely because I'm not sure who could beat Reagan in '80 or '84, and getting a woman elected in the 1970s seems extremely hard but I do think the 80s and 90s are actually doable. First, Elizabeth Holtzman...

  11. If Al Gore won in 2000, what might George W. Bush have done?

    I feel like a Romney/Huckabee ticket would probably be the best one they could get in 2008 assuming Gore won 2004, yeah. There are others if Romney doesn't want to share the limelight (so to speak) with his VP, then he could choose someone similar. Maybe Jon Kyl of AZ or John Thune of SD?

  12. If Al Gore won in 2000, what might George W. Bush have done?

    I feel like Jeb might have issues winning the nomination if his brother and father have both lost the general election, though I guess that could be ignored. That said, I think Mike Huckabee would have a strong chance of winning 2008 if Gore won 2004, and McCain was the nominee for the GOP in...

  13. 2000 Democratic alternatives to Al Gore

    I think maybe if there's another health crisis in his family similar to the one in 1992 that caused him not to run then. His son had gotten into a car crash and was healing from it, so he decided against running. If you want something far less dramatic, I'm not really sure. Could just be...

  14. If Al Gore won in 2000, what might George W. Bush have done?

    I could see him maybe running for re-election, but I'd doubt he runs for President again. Likely, he supports Jeb! in 2004 or 2008, as I think his brother would run though I'm not sure if he could win the nomination considering Bushes had lost 2/3 presidential elections that they were nominees...

  15. AHC: Have a Southern State Voluntarily Desegregate

    If we stretch the definition of 'Southern States', Kentucky or Maryland but they weren't anywhere near as segregationist (from my super short Google search) as the states usually considered Southern. That said, I'd second everyone else and say Virginia would be the most likely to desegregate on...

  16. The VT-BAM project

    Good to know, will do so, thanks!

  17. The VT-BAM project

    Hope this isn't the wrong place to ask! I'm trying to open one of the VT-BAM maps (the base one) in a art program (have tried PaintTool SAI and MS Paint, tempted to try Paint.net), but so far they haven't wanted to open it. I'd like to use it for some of my alternate histories just to illustrate...

  18. Stalin's survives his haemorrhage and purges his inner circle of everyone except for Khrushchev and makes a new inner circle.

    This feels extremely ASB. He'd also probably be removed from power due to this, as a lot of those people would.. retaliate or there'd be enough pushback to decide that Stalin has actually gone crazy.

  19. AHC: Strangest President

    Peter Ueberroth was the 6th Commissioner of Baseball and later the President of the US Olympic Committee, but he also briefly ran for Governor of California as a Republican. Let's say he manages to beat Governator and gets elected in the 2003 Recall (or maybe runs a year earlier in 2002 and...

  20. "Hipster" PMs and Presidents Thread

    Some interesting Alabamians for President that might work. If Don Siegelman (D) can win re-election in 2002 (which he lost very narrowly) then maybe he gets picked as Obama's VP in 2008 or Kerry's in 2004? OR he could mount his own run in 2004 or 2008. though I'm not sure how well he'd do as...
