Okay, this one might require some earlier divergence and possible some alien space bats too, but imagine that instead of going to war with Vietnam, the US would fight the communist domino theory in Africa... I know there have been some proxy wars in Zaire and Angola, and I doubt that any African nation could hold out very long without a big communist neighbor like China. Still, if instead of packing all our black boys and white boys into the same swift-boat and then send them out to fight yellow commies, we would send our white boys off to fight black commies while still not quite sure what to do with our black draftees... I think that might set back race relations for some time.
Bumping. Any further suggestions for how things could go down the tubes, and could they be repaired?
