In case you haven't noticed from the other boxes, this is certainly an ASB-fueled wiki-series. >Aliens invading >Space Confederacy >Hitler revered by modern day humans >Italian Emperor Mussolini

I know. I just thought even FDR would call it quits and let someone else run the nation.

But when you have someone who's 78 running, you don't want the promise that if elected, there's a very high chance their policies will all suddenly be reversed halfway through their term.
The Infinite Wisdom of the Supreme Leader has finally lead to the Reunification of Korea!

Here's something caused by ASBs. In TTL.
A Belated, Belated Continuance.
Do you not see the obvious influence of Velayat-e-faqih on [the 2017 Constitution of the DPRK]? Is the Adoption of Separation of Powers fishy in a country with a soviet-influenced constitution? Is the revival of the Office of President fishy in what was the world's only Necrocracy? Does the codification of the office of Supreme Leader not bring you the image of an Iranian Ayatollah? Has the State Affairs Commission not become an Assembly of Experts?

The nuclear war which destroyed modern society in the Northern Hemisphere was... violent, to say the least. As Russia, USA and China gambitted for the fate of the entire world, they eventually destroyed themselves. While the Southern Hemisphere fell into chaos for a brief moment, it eventually began to recover, as did Africa.
With the destruction of the Western troops just barely keeping peace in their country, the Somalians once again saw an era of anarchy, and a man arose who could finally unite the country. Xayir Shidane Seeraar was an officer in the Somali Armed Forces and a professional strategist. He would become the first President of what would be known as the "Great Somalia" to the rest of the world. Their era of expansion would change everything in the world, and it would be a particular point of transformation for Australia, which would be subject to the Somalis' yoke for many centuries.

The United Kingdom presidential election debates of 1961 were a series of three debates held for the 1961 presidential election. The first of such televised debates ever to be broadcast for an election in the United Kingdom, they were broadcast live on the BBC. Due to the uniqueness of the experience, the first debate received enormous public interest, with approximately 24 million viewers tuning in.
Each debate ran for 90 minutes and were broadcast over three successive Friday evenings from the 19th May to 2nd June. They were sponsored by the British Debating Society, who gave the BBC access to hosting venues at Oxford, St. Andrews, and Cambridge Universities. They were moderated by the Presidents of the respective universities Debate Societies, Philip Whitehead, John MacGregor, and Michael Howard. Each debate focused separately on economic, domestic, and foreign affairs.
It is generally considered that the debates were a turning point in the election, closing the gap between the previously high polling Lord Home and lower polling Herbert Morrison. Retroactive assessments would claim that the first debate "gave Morrison a fighting chance at reelection". This is largely due to Home's performance; despite having prepared extensively for the debate, and being notably eloquent in his arguments, on camera Home appeared gaunt and deathly, his body language rigid and mechanical in comparison to the more relaxed and confident Morrison. Home would perform better in the latter two debates, and in an attempt to make up for his poor first performance appear in a series of short 'fireside discussions' PPB's, however was unable to overcome the damage sustained in the first debate. Famously, during the final debate, an energised Home launching into an impassioned fifteen minute attack on Morrison's disastrous attempts to dictate foreign policy, highlighting the damage his interventions had caused to the country and its standing on the world stage. As a result, Morrison is considered to have won the first debate, Home the latter two.

Historians of the year 2399 CE would all agree that the current age of history began on October 1, 2038. The Second Age of Exploration, or the Second Age of Industrialization, or as it would be popularly known, the Age of Wonder.
That one was definitely aliens, alright

Exodustria was an African-American minarchist territory in the northern Amazonis Planitia region of Mars, first founded in 2187 by the party of former U.S. Army Ranger Wayne Barnes. Barnes and his fellow national-libertarian founders rejected all pluralistic visions of society, condemning what they viewed as the 600-year cultural genocide of Black Americans by the American state. They thought the relative isolation and lack of legal authority of the Amazonian plain would be a perfect place to reconstruct an authentic society of Black yeomen and entrepreneurs. The colony grew to support a population of 600 to 750 settlers by the early 2200s, but was wiped out by a fabricated virus outbreak in 2214. Many attempts have been made to re-establish the settlement since then, with varying success.

Essentially the basic background is that the EU and India do a joint manned mission to Mars, and twenty minutes after they land, a crash-landed alien spacecraft shimmers into view (stealth system finally depowered). The crew of the Rama naturally investigate it, naming it the "Veda" (Sanskrit for "knowledge").
Twenty minutes after they start exploring it, the ship's automated defenses power on, and murder all 13 of the exploring astronauts, leaving only two alive, who manage to get back to Earth in a ramshackle way. India/the EU/the US/anyone else who cares proceeds to send nukes at the alien ship, which take a few months to land. The EMP effects of the nukes knock out the remaining power of the alien ship, though the nukes themselves barely scratch it.
Humanity declares it a victory, so yaaay. Unmanned probes are sent to figure out exactly what is there and if its safe to go, picking up bits of tech along the way. The Vedic tech causes an Earth-wide technological revolution. Things start to happen, thus starting an era of innovation, exploration, and colonization. But there are many darker sides to all of these benefits....
I would have had a longer explanation in the actual post, but after my browser crashed three times and ate my post each time, I gave up and just decided to go as laconic as possible.
