1990's

Currently in the post-1900 board, but demographical issues may necessitate a pre-1900 PoD. If this becomes the case, I will request a move to pre-1900. This may be a potentially sensitive or controversial thread, as it will deal with an alternate Bosnian War, so let me just put this up here...

This is an idea I had today that's really weird, but is honestly stuck in my head. I kinda want to do a TL based on it eventually but worry it'll get in the way of my current project. The basic idea is a timeline that lacks a specific point of divergence or inciting incident, but rather...

A new project from the depths of my tired brain. Originally a one off map based on an idea soon turned into it's own project I've shared on discord and both Wikibox, Map, and personal threads, after thinking about it I think making it's own thread just creates less clutter for both...

Between 1990 and 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev attempted to recreate the USSR into a democratic and less-centralized confederation. Communism would be abandoned and a multi-party democracy system would be introduced. The New Union Treaty would have made this possible, but the 1991 coup prevented all...

DISCLAIMER: Please, remember the ''No current politics'' rule and don't discuss the ongoing armed conflict. I am talking about a scenario where the Supreme Soviet manages to oust Yeltsin during the 1993 constitutional crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Russian_constitutional_crisis...

If the Kaliningradians are annexed, the Kaliningradians will have to move out. The Kaliningradians may move out or remain and be integrated into the country of the future. The future Poland would not lose the shipyards or naval facilities. Russia has the shipyards and facilities, so it will...

To start with, the story of Chile’s recovery and transition from dictatorship to democracy would have been very different. Pinochet’s election to the presidency in 1980 could have been viewed as a liberalization and democratization that could have transformed Chile. Instead, a more-authoritarian...

So over the last few hours I’ve read a few threads about how a Bush victory in ‘92 affects future elections, the economy, pop culture, and the wars in the Middle East. But very little seem to touch on the foreign policy of his second term. For example what will he do in say...Somalia or Rwanda...

What is a realistic chance if Yeltsin became the president of USSR replacing Gorbachev and implementing disastrous reforms for the whole country as it happened OTL? Keep in mind, a lot of Soviet citizens at that time were against the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union may have...

Figured this was timely moment to review this potential PoD. Some choice comments from last discussion:

I know that Ross Perot was different candidate compared to Clinton or Bush in '92 election and his voters were most likely to vote for Clinton as they were to Bush. But what is most realistic way can we have H.W. Bush replacing Dan Quayle with Ross Perot as V.P. around May-June 1992 when Perot...

What if question since it did not happen in real life. What would have to take place for Democracy to survive in Russia 1992 to present? Has to be after the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Any ideas?

1990's Captain America, directed by Joel Schumacher and written by Stan Hey, is certainly one of Marvel's classics, if not a pretty good, fun predecessor to the MCMU [1]. Arnold Schwarzenegger was a brilliant actor for Cap, accent or not, and it even inspired the film's iconic subplot of...
