Explain the AH Quote

[Kiz]

"I am not a shill of Joe McCarthy, but that does by far not make me a 'commie'!"

Quote from an unknown protester as McCarthyism split the political map of US so badly that a referendum was passed, creating the Reformed Union of America, where two states (as in country states), one which was extremely traditionalist/anti-communist who supported McCarthy's raids and the other being more leftist and willing to reason with the Reds, existed under two presidents, two Congresses (forming a mega Congress) and two Supreme Courts. This union managed to hold itself together until the fall of the Soviets in the late 2020s but fell apart into two separate states, beginning a bitter rivalry and resulting in a stronger EU without the presence of their strong American ally and economy.

"You see sir, there's quite a... major complication with the whole 'new route to India' thing. It turns out that there is a bit of land in the way, and there are people on that land. And those people have guns and boats. And said people may or may not be heading towards the beaches of Galicia." - Unnamed sailor from the Colombian Expedition to King Ferdinand II

The last survivors reporting to Madrid when Columbus' expedition came under fire somewhere south-west of the Azores, with no land in sight. The ships that fired at them looked extremely sophisticated and made of metal, and a few weeks later, these people - inhabitants of a nation calling itself the "Socialist Workers' Syndicates" or Sindicatos Socialistas des Trabajeros (SST) - did indeed land on Galician shores. By 1512, with the support of some extreme Hussites and other fringe rebel groups, most of Europe west of the Dnieper had been liberated, and by 1552, this also applied to most of the Muslim world. The inhabitants of the Old World loved their newfound freedom even if they had to practice religion privately or convert to "godlessness" (read: atheism), but there was no alternative as no army of the 16th century could harm the SWS in any meaningful way. Many nations were puppetised into new "Socialist Syndicates" and many groups that had gone extinct or suppressed in the original universe of the SWS were liberated and granted their very own nation. As long as the SWS was allowed to trade with them and upgrade them to 1960s level tech...
Only settlers coming to the new promising land could determine that it encompassed all of the CONUS, much of Canada except for Quebec, Alaska, Cuba, Haiti, the Baja Peninsula and the Sonora strip.

In 1980, a nuclear missile in Arkansas exploded as a result of a fire, causing a nuclear accident that killed 25 people. Jimmy Carter made a serious gaffe, claiming that the nuclear capabilities of the US were sound. Conservatives shouted this to mock the President's nonchalance over the safety of America's weapons.

Edward I of England, translated and paraphrased from the French he would have actually spoken in, concerning William Wallace of Scotland's "getting pissy" when Edward, backed by his armies, decided to move the English border north about a hundred miles. Edward could not comprehend what Wallace's problem was with him taking up some valuable properties that just happened to be occupied by some Scottish peasants and their sheep.

What the Commons said about Anne of York, born 1475. With the complete eradication of her family after the death of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. There was a common uprising at the ascension of "The Usurper" Henry VII. He was captured the next year brought in chains before the nine-year-old Anne of York, who was publicly acclaimed Queen of England. It is said she personally ordered Henry's immediate execution...

The shout of a major general when he captured Rohan (misprononucing Rhode Island) during the American Civil War and tried to make Rhode Island into an island state. He would be killed by an aide the next day and they surrendered when said major general began saying he would make the US into the new Roman Empire.

The battle cry of the Kingdom of Mexica Soldiers, popularized during the Great War of 1895 in the battle of Peking.

The Kingdom of Mexica goes back to the year 1518, when Hernan Cortes married Montezuma's daughter, creating the centuries-old Montezuma dynasty. The Spanish colonialists quickly adopted Aztec customs (except human sacrifice) and by 1710, Mexica gained independence from the Spanish crown.

The Kingdom, which evolved into a Constitutional Monarchy in 1838, is one of the wealthiest nations on Earth.

Said by Ross Perot during a 1996 Presidential Election Debate at UPenn, he had managed to trick President Bill Clinton into making a claim the contradicted some of his earlier beliefs which he had managed to record on VHS. Although his performance was not enough to win the election, it managed to prove that the Reform Party could stand on semi-equal footing with the Democrats and the Republicans. Less fortunately, this began the somewhat bizarre practice of candidates trying to find clips of their opponents that they could spring on them during debates.

"When I become Pope, I will bring this church back to the humble values that defined Our Lord, Jesus Christ." - Cardinal Karl Marx

 

[Kiz]

Karl Marx is orphaned at a young age and grows up in a monastery, adopting fundamentalist ideas. At the age of 36, he publishes a series of essays that they preach about the ethical issues of imperialism, damage to the environment, corruption of the middle and upper class at the expense of the lower class and the growing tensions in Europe as existing great powers nervously watched Prussia's moves towards German unification. In response, Marx offers up a kind of "reunification between church and state, a communal fundamentalism so that all Christian peoples shall prosper". He dubs it Clericalism and he began spread it fervently. He eventually becomes a cardinal at 52 and over 1 million people across Europe were Clericalists. In order to spread Clericalism farther faster, Karl Marx makes moves to secure the Holy See and his followers decide to do their expedite the process. The Pope is assassinated, followed by a Papal Election, followed by another assassination, etc. At the fifth time, an assassin is caught and confesses that the killings were to bring Marx to power. Marx is outraged by violence committed in his name and tries to dissociate himself from the killings, but is still excommunicated. Marx leaves the Vatican in shame and Clericalism begins to die out without its influential leader. Marx takes his life on March 14, 1883 and Clericalism dies out in most countries. However, in Spain, the ideology manages to hold out and to this day, the party is still working to create a religious one-party state.

"Two superpowers enter, but only one will leave triumphant! Will the Red Scepter conquer the world or will the Bastions of Democracy be able to protect liberty and freedom? Tune in next time to find out! This is Primitive Watch signing off! Oi! Mind that they don't see the camera on the moon, right *static*"
- Last minutes of an episode of the intergalactic hit show Primitive Watch, a show funded by the Intergalactic Public Broadcasting Center to watch the progression of primitive worlds as they slowly advance to space travel to join the intergalactic community in doing intergalactic things. This intergalactic season is specifically on Earth, and it has been fabulous, with interviews with world leaders (their minds were wiped later of course), genocides and the drama of a world war and tension of another, all for the entertainment of the intergalactic people. (I got really into this, I guess explain what about to happen in the next episode?)

In 1984, tensions between the USA and USSR sharply rose when several prominent members of the Soviet government are slain. The USSR blames the US for the killings and mobilizes its forces in Europe. War would not come however, as many units in the Soviet army mutiny. This is attributed to the unwillingness of the Soviet's citizens to fight for an increasingly corrupt and autocratic regime. Before the dust settled, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary successfully broke free from Soviet influence, and the Forest Brothers rekindled the fight against the Soviets in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

"My friend, you are not the King of Greece, you are the Latin Emperor! Start acting like it and put that Anatolian Laskarid bastard in his place."

 

[CountDVB]

"My friend, you are not the King of Greece, you are the Latin Emperor! Start acting like it and put that Anatolian Laskarid bastard in his place."

The Germanic Confederacy’s Grand Chief telling this to the Byzantine Emperor, who had been accused of Greek favoritism and too much focus in domestic policy in emphasizing Greek culture while ignoring his cousin of Laskarid in the growing Kingdom of Anatolia and Mesopotamia.

Unfortunately, the Latin Emperor doubled-down and Anatolia would be swallowed by the growing kingdom, resulting in him being overthrown and the throne by his youngest sister and wife of the Visigoth Kingdom. She would merge the two to properly unite the areas while signing peace with Laskarid, who would grow to unite all of Arabia under Nestorianism.

United Nations Sec. General Pamela Geller responding to the criticism in relation to the chemical substance called "Linguavaxia", which caused sudden (and inexplicable) language change in some parts of the world, most notably in northern India, most of southern China, Ireland, Taiwan, most of European Russia and in the Middle East and North Africa. Made of different chemical formulas that are still undisclosed, the use of Linguavaxia was criticized as a weapon of mass destruction, particularly Noam Chomsky.

- Gloria Trevi​

A communist revolution in 1917 had resulted in US intervention and in the creation of a nation of Chimeca in Sonora and Chihuahua, Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, which is strictly anti-communist. It has male and female conscription (like OTL Israel for example) and female Colonel Gloria Trevi is hereby giving orders to "kill" in a training exercise. Some take these orders somewhat too literally and become a paramilitary organisation killing communists and suspected communists, though the US bats both eyelids.

"Once we kick in the door, the whole fiction of Jewish power will be broken". Tsar Alexei, on the invasion of the Khazar Republic.

 

[Mina-van-Mako]

The Khazar Republic, a very secluded dictatorship ruled by the "Party of the Promised Land", suspected by the world population of controlling most of every governements and companies, was the most militarized country, one third of the population having an extensive military training, threatened to send nuclear bombs on Moscow and Kiev, two of the ten biggest cities of the Russian Empire. Tsar Alexei, confident about his chances to win the war, sent his armies in the khazar borders, therefore showing that the Kazar government was in fact quite powerless, and didn't have the bomb.
