US Presidential Election, 1992
Jack Kemp was a moderately popular president by 1992: he had signed a Free Trade deal with Canada and cut spending to less popular Kennedy programs.. However, he was not poplar within his party. He had lost the trust of many conservatives through his "bleeding heart conservatism" was taken as softness on crime and the slow progress of promised tax cuts through the Democrat-controlled Congress. After surviving a surprisingly strong challenge from Pat Buchanan in the Primaries, he angered Republican bigwigs by refusing to drop Kassebaum in favour of someone less moderate. Meanwhile in the Democrat camp the race quickly narrowed to Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis and Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton. Dukakis promised to be "Kennedy with his flies done up" while Clinton offered a broader, more centrist message. The race was closely fought but Dukakis eventually prevailed after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against Clinton. As a running mate he picks Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey.
Into the general election the Democrats were going to give Kemp one hell of a fight, especially as the economy failed to come quickly out of the recession and Kemp's defence of his economic policy "Yes it hurt. Yes it worked" was seen by many to be patronising. As Dukakis floundered, the race was changed completely by the emergence of businessman Ross Perot as a competitive third-party candidate. His populist campaign caught both major parties off-guard, with his promise too tear up the Free-Trade deal attracting many. Dukakis' policy on the issue "renegotiating the deal" was too vague to voters and for a while all three candidates had about a third of the vote each.
Kemp got his edge back in the debates, slamming Dukakis for his record on crime as governor. The vice presidential debates were almost comical with all three running mates struggling with the format. In the the final fortnight both major parties ganged up on Perot and on election day, Kemp's narrow victory was just as unexpected as his first one four years earlier. In spite of winning the popular vote, many felt Dukakis "lost" the election due to his lacklustre campaign. Murmurs in the Democrat and Perot camps about electoral reform go nowhere. Perot, having felt that he proved his case by getting electoral votes, sets about transforming his movement into a credible electoral force.
UK General Election, 1993
Thatcher was very unpopular going into her election. Britain was also slow to get back into economic growth and she had been humiliated earlier in the year by her failed attempt at vetoing the Maastricht Treaty (the "Maastricht rebels" being led by Michael Heseltine and Ken Clarke.) Her local government reforms, the "Poll Tax", were similarly unpopular and Thatcher's autocratic style did not play well with voters. Labour had first gone with Sottish First Secretary John Smith but after his near-fatal heart attack he was forced to resign and enthusiastic moderniser David Owen was elected in his place. The Tories' successful attempt to deny Labour a majority with surprisingly strong negative campaign against both Labour and the Liberals, who had also elected a new leader. Thatcher tried to stay in power in spite of losing the popular vote in the hung parliament, only leaving when a Lib-Lab pact was confirmed.
And John Smith managed to make it into the history books in the end.

The Atlantic was open, with the UK and UASR friendly, and Germany stuck in the Baltic, so France was able to transport the troops over the Atlantic with no interference.
Through the POD was in 1901, so things got set up so France had stronger cross-Atlantic capabilities.
Excellent work. PBS' callsign meaning has a typo though.
Write it today as a TLIAD, then make a proper second draft!
no that didn't the war with Denmark started a few years early which had the Austro-Prussian War start early which had the Franco-Prussian war start early
Anyway ok. 2 outta 3 infoboxes down, whew this one was a lot tougher
Well... France did hold Quebec after all, and it first moved the troops to Quebec and then invaded. So: Possible. It was not Mainland France alone, but Greater France including e.g. Quebec...
