Partly inspired by various timelines that flirt with the idea of American dictatorship, such as Reds, The Ruins of an American Party System and The East is Red, I have a loose idea for a timeline where America falls under the control of a military Junta in the 1930s as a results of political polarisation, increasing political violence and a complete inability of the existing political structures to deal with the Great Depression.
I was wondering if people could speculate on how to bring about such a drastic course of action and what impact will this have on US politics?
How long would the dictatorship last for and how, if at all, would it be brought down?
How would this effect US foreign policy especially during the Cold War?
What sort of an impact would a military dictatorship have on US culture?
