  1. wi 1968 October Surprises

    Suppose Nixon's efforts to undermine Vietnam Peace efforts and Agnew's crimes were to come out in the weekd before poling day. I think that Humphey wins by A LOT. I think that the US withdraws support for South Vietnam. I think that Republican would run someone like Reagan who would seem to...
  2. wi NO LARGE SCALE US ground forces in Viet Nam

    This could have heppend with John Kennedy getting better advice, OR LBJ gettimg better advice, or maybe Johnson dying naturally or murdered on Novevenmber 22.

  7. AHC WI German forces in Belgium and France do not adopt "Frightfullness"

    In otl a big factor in Allied propaganda was the outragous behaviour of German occupying forces. I have heard it alleged that unless you were a Nazu target the Nazi occupation was less severe than that in WW1? Might the reaction in the USA have been different?
  8. ahc wi President Dolly Parton

    Well? I am guessing she could be Governor of Tennessee if she wanted to be
  9. WI No Lenin

    Suppose he either was not born, was a girl or had died before 1904. I belive that he was key to the Bolshevik coup aka Great October Revolution. What happens to Russia? What happens to the progressive and left and socialist movements? I am guessing that there is still a big movement against...

  11. How much difference would a prepared Pearl Harbor have made?

    Suppose US Intelligence had enabled American forces on Hawaii to be ready. I do think that the attack could have been defeated. Further the Japanese force might have been hit and more or less defeated. How big a differemce would have been made in the Phillipines. Could Japan's balance of...
  12. Plausability query, Britain tricks Free State into declaring war on the Nazis

    Suppose after the terror bombing of Belfast a speech for Devalera is forged threatening war for attacks on the National Territory. Some Nazi agents are tricked into murdering Dev before this happens. Could the Dail have voted that way in May 1941?

  16. WI US intelligence correctly guessed Japanese plans November December 1941

  17. NO Soviet Union, how important is Paul Robeson in the USA

    Robeson was an impressive person. His one HUGE error was supporting the Soviet Union.. Had it not existed I picture him being a MAJOR leader of the Civil Rights movement. If the lack of a USSR prevented WW2 how much would the Civil Rights movement be weakened?
  18. WI John and Joe Junior both died in WW2?

    I think he could easily have died when PT 109 was sunk. I am guessing that Joe Kennedy senior might have wanted Bobby to seek high office. He would barely have been legally eligable for the House in 1946 and for the Presidency in 1960. So what happens in 1960?

  20. WI Temperence rather than Prohibition happened in the USA both on alcohol and other substances

    I do think that it is possible that had their been a movement to discourage rather than ban alcohol and also the drugs that became illegal.
