I've been going through this timeline as I tend to do, and I see the Germans nuked Warsaw?! Would love to know (in wikibox form if it's not explained elsewhere) what the hell happened there
while on the topic of killers, Jeffrey MacDonald could be a Oliver North type.Ted Bundy had an attempt at a political career, while Jeffrey Dahmer is also infamous ITTL.
I too always resent the assumption that Franz Ferdinand's assassination was a "requirement" for WW1 to happen. Honestly I feel like even without conflicts in the Balkans Europe still would have gone to war.Same guy behind A Giant Sucking Sound. In my opinion even without Franz Ferdinand being killed there still would have been a World War I given that there were conflicts in the Balkans and the Anglo-German arms race. Especially with a failed assassination and Austria-Hungary finding out who was responsible they would have declared war on Serbia and their respective allies would have done the same thing like OTL with some slight differences. Plus there would be a lot of ethnic tensions that Austria-Hungary might collapse when TTL's Great Depression or whatever it is called.
What was his campaign like ITTL, now you mentioned it?spoiler vote of Kanye West
He will be done !SO MUCH THANKS! You're the best! Next do his father Duarte II please!
That's the vibe Duarte Pio gives me. I have a friend who interviewed him a few years back, he seemed like a decent man.I’m getting some “Juan Carlos II, but not crooked” vibes from this man
Duly noted !I've been going through this timeline as I tend to do, and I see the Germans nuked Warsaw?! Would love to know (in wikibox form if it's not explained elsewhere) what the hell happened there
I ignored everything about this guy, thank you !while on the topic of killers, Jeffrey MacDonald could be a Oliver North type.
A mere footnote of Wisconsin history. The state quickly became a Progressive stronghold.What became of Joseph McCarthy? I imagine that the Red Scares and McCarthyism here would make OTL seem tame.
Europe by 1914 was just a powder keg waiting for a spark : close calls had been averted with Morocco, but the death of Franz Ferdinand was a mere formality.I too always resent the assumption that Franz Ferdinand's assassination was a "requirement" for WW1 to happen. Honestly I feel like even without conflicts in the Balkans Europe still would have gone to war.
Sweet! And amazing job as always!He will be done !

He was in a better mental state (not having a meltdown on his first campaign appearence) and ran an independent and Christian fundamentalist campaign, that was well received by the Christian right and also among the youth due to his high name recognition. Questions were still asked about his mental health, yet his antisemitic rants didn't bother as much as IOTL. He made a decent score for a fourth party candidate but heavily indebted himself. His 2024 run for the Conservative primaries failed to gain traction and he withdrew before they started.What was his campaign like ITTL, now you mentioned it?
Thank you !Sweet! And amazing job as always!
It's my personal theory about alternate history : the world that stems from it are neither better nor worse, but particular in their own way.FF's assassination just was that last straw which broke camel's back.
But I like idea that even without events in June/July 1914 world is not necessarility much better place and big wars which kill millions people are still occuring. This TL could be that what point when someone asks would you stop assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
I thought about other plans for Sinatra, but it still holdsLooks like the USA’s in a better state than in our reality.
Could you post the Frank Sinatra wikibox from the old thread, MaskedPickle?
Crimea is a young state and still uses the Russian names abroad. As of Armenia, Erzurum is much more of a common name by then than Karin, and still has a sizeable Turkish population, so it is used widely.Is there a reason why, despite Crimean Tatars dominating Crimea, the cities still use their Russian names? Similarly, why Armenia uses the Turkish name for its capital instead of the Armenian?
edit: the reason why I ask is because I would like to think about the state of club football in this very different world, and it would help with coming up with what the alt-history equivalents of clubs are called
Elvis and Aaron Presley
I see what you did there.
At last !Yep, me too.
I'm deeply surprised that being in bed with the mafia and killing an underage prostitute didn't have Italy vote to outright abolish the monarchy
