Similar to other colab timelimes on this site, 5901 will be a bit different. Firstly, I've devised a way for a more organized TL. Rules and Guidelines are below.

***

Rules and Guidelines:

-All submissions will be added in MM/DD/YY format.

-Submissions may be added for the entire decade, but some submissions may be removed or changed to line-up with continuity if they do not when I look over them.

-All months in a decade will have atleast 15 dates, whether it takes us 2 weeks or 2 months.

-Nothing overtly ASB is allowed under any circumstance. Any United States Possessions outside of OTL Borders, Puerto Rico and the USA's Pacific Territories will be removed immediately. Anything with a major border change must be described well and thought out.

-Don't do this:

11/5/60: Canada sells New Brunswick to the United States, Russia invades Western Europe, and Barry Goldwater is elected President of the United States.

-If you want to have John Lennon become British PM, DO IT!! :D Just do it right, don't just randomly have him get elected in the 80's. Tell me HOW he gets into politics.

-Have fun!!

Our main PODs:

*Republicans Nelson A. Rockefeller and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr win a narrow victory against Democratic Senators John Kennedy and Aldai Stevenson.

*John Lennon, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney officially change the name of their band for the final time, settling on "The Quarrymen".

*Cypriot Independance is denied by the United Kingdom, leading to a massive outbreak of riots and independance rallies.
