What if Eisenhower, who had a history of health issues, opts not to run for POTUS in 1952 due to increased heart trouble? Would Taft win the nomination? Would Stevenson with the general? How would either govern?
Any idea what a Stevenson presidency would look like?Without Eisenhower entering the race, Taft would probably win the nomination; Stevenson would have a much better shot at winning through.
How does Disney become President?
So essentially Suez Crisis 2.0?Possibly no Operation Ajax, but instead an attempt to mediate the disagreement between Britain and Iran, which might move Iran into the US's sphere, but at a cost of slightly cooled relations between Britain and the US.
1953-1953, assuming his cancer is the same as OTL.President Taft from 1953-19??
He would last about 6-7 months in office, making him the third shortest serving President.1953-1953, assuming his cancer is the same as OTL.
Well the Suez Crisis came afterwards, so it can't be 2.0, but it might lead to a gradual cooling of relations, yes. I wonder how this will affect de Gaulle's 'no' vote to Britain in the EU.So essentially Suez Crisis 2.0?
Who then would be Taft's vice president?
Stronger Europe, weaker US-NATO relations?Well the Suez Crisis came afterwards, so it can't be 2.0, but it might lead to a gradual cooling of relations, yes. I wonder how this will affect de Gaulle's 'no' vote to Britain in the EU.
