1960s

The idea here, is either JFK is not assassination (Or lives long enough.) to withdraw America from Vietnam, and cut support to Saigon. Or Nixon wins the 1960 election, and simply throws South Vietnam under the bus. Without American aid, or boots on the ground, the South is unable to hold back...

After he lost to Governor Pat Brown in 1962, Nixon gave a paranoid, spiteful, self-pitying speech to the press proclaiming they wouldn't have Nixon to "kick around anymore" and he retired from politics. That is, until JFK's assassination got the political wheels turning once again in Nixon's...

In 1964, former Vice-Presidential candidate Henry Cabot Lodge stunned the nation when he won the New Hampshire Republican primary as a write-in candidate. For a time, it seemed that if Lodge officially entered the race he could beat Rockefeller and Goldwater in future primaries and clinch the...

Eddy P. Cuffs Ms Moore's 7th Grade English class My Uncle Bud I recently as talking to my Uncle Bud at a family barbecue, he's a veteran served with the 101st Air Mobile in Cuba from 1966 to 1968, was wounded and discharged as a corporal with a slug of metal in his knee towards the...

What if Senator Robert Kennedy stuck with his initial decision not to run in 1968? Would Sirhan Sirhan still try to assassinate him? If not, would he be a contender for the Presidency in 1972 or 1976? What do you think an RFK Presidency would look like in the mid to late 1970s? And how would...

The 1960 election could easily have gone the other way had Nixon run a better campaign. If Nixon had narrowly won in 1960, would Kennedy be in a position to redeem himself in 1964 or 1968?

Richard Nixon was accepted into Harvard as a teenager, but his family was too poor to afford the tuition so he had to attend Whittier instead. This triggered a life-long resentment towards Ivy League elites and East Cost liberals that helped fuel Nixon's divisive rhetoric and criminal acts of...

Barry Goldwater, the architect of the GOP's turn to the far right, was first elected to the Senate in 1952 by a relatively slim margin. Had 2% been shifted to his opponent, Senate Majority Leader Ernest McFarland, Goldwater would have lost. The next chance he'd have at the Senate is in 1956...

IIRC, American research into ERWs began in the 1950s, and the first successful test was in 1963. I know that during his presidential campaign the following year, Barry Goldwater openly mulled over the concept of using low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons in Vietnam (though many argue that this...

So I’m reading Robert Kennedy and his Times by Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and in one chapter Schlesinger talks about how when Kennedy’s friend Byron White sent William Orrick down to the South, Orrick joked that he felt like he was in Russia because there was not an American flag in sight. Only...

After completing my first timeline, I had many members ask me to keep it going, so here's the second installment of a fictional 2nd Administration with President John F. Kennedy, starting in February 1965.

There is a veritable avalanche of alternate history timelines surrounding the Election of 1968. It is, perhaps, the most written about, analysed, and discussed election in alternate history history. Normally, these stories involve a last-minute Hail Mary pulled off by that year's Democratic...

I remember seeing this video on YouTube: This video had a comment on it that went something like “man this would have been a dream election.” That comment made me wonder, what if Reagan had won the Repub. nomination in 1968, and Kennedy had survived his assassination and won the Dem...

Throughout it's history, the United States of America has experienced a number of crises, whole decades have been engulfed by turmoil, world wars, economic depression, and civil strife so great it entraps the entire nation in war and in the end, the Union stands strong through it all. The Union...

For sh*ts and giggles, your challenge is to position Alabama Governor and noted segregationist George Wallace, and one of the Kennedy boys (Whether John, Robert, or Ted) together on a Presidential ticket. Either one can be at the top, I leave that decision to you, as well as the chosen election...

Epcot was not intended to be the second theme park of the Walt Disney World Resort. Walt Disney intended it to be a City of Tomorrow where innovations would be highlighted and showcased in a functional, conceptual city. Sadly Walt died in ‘66, dooming his dream, but say that his vision of Epcot...

what if both assassination attempts on their lives had failed? Would Oswald eventually confess to it all? What would be the theories now that Oswald is living and had failed once again to kill someone important? What is sentence after his trial? How does this affect the 1960’s with JFK living...

The Enemy within Camelot. (A working title) Prologue To even begin to explain what this story is about, its somewhat unlikely origins are extremely important to understand (there’s inevitably going to be a bit of rambling here, but if you stick with me, I think it might be worth it). For...

(Opening post.) Hello. This is going to be like the picture threads about TL-191 and Kaiserreich. Only this time it is about Fatherland, the Cold War, and the horrible truth of the Holocaust. Any photos are fine as long so long it won't get anyone in trouble with the mods and the board and is...
