1974

Introduction The point of divergence from OTL is late 1973, and this timeline concerns the United States automotive market. For the 1974 model year, General Motors introduced the Air Cushion Restraint System (ACRS) as an option on certain Buick, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac models. ACRS was the...

A TLIAW by @Nevran To start, this is, of course, inspired by and shamelessly following all the incredible TLIAW’s and other series that have come before. From @Vidal and @Enigma-Conundrum's What it Took, to @Oliveia and @Enigma-Conundrum ’s Camelot Lost, to @Steve Brinson's Bring Us Together or...

So I'm still nailing down a lot of things, but I have enough that I wanted some feedback. Staring with a plausibility check on the POD itself. POD: The 18.5 minutes of Nixon's Watergate tapes doesn't get erased, and it's damning. In this ATL, it's Nixon and Haldeman discussing the fact that...

In 1974, Brigadier Charles Arube led an attempted military coup against the government of Idi Amin. The Arube uprising, as it was later known, was initially successful, capturing much of Kampala. However, Arube was shot dead by Amin shortly after entering Amin's headquarters, causing the...

So, if the 1974 Turkish Invasion of Cyprus ended up provoking war between Greece and Turkey (and a war not limited to sea and Cyprus), what would be the aims of each country?

I presented a scenario like this some time ago in my Fringe Alternate Universe TL. Since I'm getting ready to post a revision of that TL, I thought I'd ask this question. If Richard Nixon had chosen to forgo surgery for his phlebitis in October 1974, and if he had subsequently died due to...

Hiroo Onoda was an average Imperial Japanese soldier, sent to defend Lubang Island in the Philippines in 1944, during Japans mission to defend the home islands. Trained in Guerrilla warfare, and intelligence gathering. His commander told him to live off the land and forbade him to not commit...

This has been asked a few times before, but let's say Vice President Agnew was never exposed for corruption, and continues to hold his office. Does this impact Watergate at all? Or does it happen basically the same way as it did IOTL? And if Nixon does still resign, would Agnew likely choose...

This show is on BBC Radio 2 tonight, and sound very interesting, so I thought I'd start a thread so we can discuss it. It will be on iPlayer if anyone misses it at 10pm. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08rfqk3
