I've had an idea for a new timeline. Neville Chamberlain as we know, died in November 1940 from bowel cancer. Now what if the disease had taken him in November 1937?
Now, I was planning on having Anthony Eden become Prime Minister, which in a way makes sense, as looking at the cabinet, other than Halifax, who would not really be in a position to become Prime Minister at this stage outside of a national emergency and Churchill, who was not in the cabinet, I feel he would be the strongest candidate, albiet Hoare and Simon would be other potential leaders in waiting.
What happens next? Eden resigned over Munich, which means no Munich agreement as it happened in reality, and a possible war in 1938. Does this sound plausible? How do you think the run up to WW2 would be with an anti-appeaser in Ten Downing Street?
