What’s all this then? A TLIAW. I can see that but what’s it about? It’s about a lot of things. The impact we can have even if we don’t mean to. The breakdown and rebuilding of US politics. But most importantly it is about John B. Anderson winning in 1980. Huh, that’s a new one. Seems unlikely...

"I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected." - William Tecumseh Sherman Many presidents have been credited with changing history, but Eisenhower stands out as one who provided stability to a nation in turmoil. His legacy still resonates today throughout the country. Yet what...

----- Excerpts from "Looking Back: A Perspective of the Modern World" by Senator G. Scott Romney (Renaissance - Michigan): "On May 1, 1947, the Second World War ended with the surrender of Afghanistan - the last Axis Power - to the Allies. Having spanned for over eight years, the destruction...

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...

(Title card made by yours truly.) I would like to begin by stating that this work has come from strange origins. It all began, you see, when I was checking my account one day and discovered that my very next post would be the 666th one on this website. A devilish number, too unholy to be wasted...

Hi so me and @PrezZF have decided to come together and do a little collab of a Timeline between the two of us. Sort of like the collabs between @Vidal and @Enigma-Conundrum, me and Prez have decided upon the POD and we have a rough outline of Presidents but for the most part, we're improvising...

IN THE ROUGH Eisenhower was a figure like no other. He was so popular not even a heart attack and advanced age could hurt his re-election chances. That being said this timeline will explore if that heart attack did stop his assured re-election and in fact his presidency in its tracks. This...

***** When it comes to the men on white horses who dot American history, John Fitzgerald Kennedy ranks highly among them. There’s plenty of reasons why this might be the case. Maybe it’s the seminal moments of his presidency: his steady leadership through the Cuban Missile Crisis, his...

Excerpts from "Looking Back: An Encyclopedic Perspective on the Cold War" by Representative Justin Rockefeller (C-NY) "The Cold War of old - the idea of two great superpowers clashing for ideological dominance - has long since passed. Compounded by the ever-changing times, old alliances have...

PREMISE Before I begin my alternative history, I think it is necessary to explain why I decided to write it. I guess disappointment is the main reason. Since I joined this site more than six years ago, I have read and enjoyed many and original alternative histories. Unfortunately, this...

Judge Forman: "Up to now you have held German citizenship." Kurt Gödel: "Austrian citizenship.” Judge: “What kind of government did you have in Austria?” Gödel: “It was a republic, but the constitution was such that it finally was changed into a dictatorship.” Judge: “Oh! This is very bad. This...

This is my first ever attempt at making a TL about American history, so any advices and constructive criticism are welcome. Horatio Seymour (Democratic, 1861-1865) Stephen A. Douglas had experienced poor health throughout his life, which greatly deteriorated after he narrowly lost the...

Against the Grain An Improvisational TLIAW by @Enigma-Conundrum @Oppo @Vidal @Wolfram From Wolfram: Henry Agard Wallace gets a bad rap in alternate history, and it's only mostly his fault. Son of a successful farm journalist and Secretary of Agriculture, Wallace brought modern biology to bear...

Well, what’s this now? A Timeline in a Week! These are out of fashion you know. Yeah whatever. An idea struck me. And so I did it. Not quite ASB, but still rather funny. Aka a perfect choice for a TLIAW! You do realize you’re likely never gonna finish this in a week right? Quite possibly...

What's this about? It's an idea I had while working on a larger TL that will probably never see the light of day. Basically, it's the battle that decides whether or not the Athabaskans will migrate into the Pacific Northwest ITTL or not, with high stakes for the people who already live there, of...

Act I- The King in Yellow: A President Lovecraft TLIAW Act II- A Wine-Dark Sea: An Atlantean Empire TLIAW Act III- Raise the Black Flag!: A Jersey Devil TLIAW Act IV- A Bolt From the Blue: A Vengeance Weapon TLIAW Act V- Illuminatus!: A Franco-British Union TLIAW Act VI- Invisible Amendments: An...

No New Taxes in the Nutmeg State In the early-1990s, Connecticut became the 41st state in the country to implement a statewide income tax. It was divisive, unpopular, and politically costly for all involved. If you go around and talk to legislators who were there around the time they tell you...

Steadfast in Loyalty: The Story of Prince Rupert, the Cavalier Elector ======= What's this then? What it says on the tin! A TLIAW covering an alternate life of Prince Rupert, everyone's favourite cavalier. A TLIAW? Didn't people stop writing those years ago? Well, maybe... But I had an idea...
