So, I'm working on a timeline about the rise of the Liberal Democrats as a major force in British Politics (More major than they were historically, at least). I'm curious as to who the politibrits much more knowledgeable than I am on the topic think would be the best leader for the Lib Dems in...

As we know Russia suffered a massive crisis in the 1990s, the healtcare system collapsed (something that still have effects even today), along with the greatest recession in Russian history, but this we all know My question is: Starting at the fall of East Germany, how could we prevent, or at...

How could the Bill Clinton administration have passed healthcare reform in the 1990s? Bonus points if the PoD is after the 1992 US election and Clinton serves his OTL term as President. It doesn't have to be the OTL Hillarycare proposal or Hillarycare, but it does have to be major healthcare...

And what might this be? It's a wikibox timeline. No, originality has never been your strong point, has it? That's not nice. I once made a wikibox where President Carter rescued the Iranian hostages. What ever you say. What is this about anyway? Do you know that coup in the Soviet Union in...

Inspired by this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/ahc-have-2020s-2030s-level-technology-available-by-the-late-1980s.413867/. So with a POD no earlier than 1900, how can technology stay at a late 20th century level by the year 2030 (barring minor advances of course). Bonus...

Assume that the Battle of Mogadishu resulted in an American victory, executed without a hitch, thus not prompting American troops to depart. What if the UN/American intervention in Somalia in 1993 had succeeded in capturing Muhammad Farah Aidid? How would this change the conflict in Somalia, and...

Basically with this, Clinton is killed Giuseppe Zangara style before he can become President. Al Gore is now the President. How well does he do? How will the Democrats do? Any other affects of this down the line?

"I'm not trying to play Santa Claus"-Senator Tsongas answers why he won't promise a tax cut January 25, 1992: Former Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas, a fiscal conservative, rockets to a lead in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. Former frontrunner Bill Clinton has lost nearly 20 points in...

What if Jerry Brown won the 1992 Democratic nomination and the presidency? How could this be done? Not sure about the primaries, maybe Brown avoids his Jesse Jackson gaffe. I think he could win the general, Perot would probably stay dropped out and given Brown holds similar positions to him...
