Both Constantine of Skopje and Stephen II/I (prince/king/emperor) are the same persons, despite change of title and Stephen's number change. The title "the Soldier" is not mentioned with Stephen as a prince since he didn't gain it yet. Principality of Macedonia didn't start in 1300 but that is the date I choose to start it.

The same point about 1300 with Macedonia applies here too. Monarch list for the three distinct Bulgarian states. House of Asen ITTL was "the stem duchy" in Bulgaria that later fractured into three parts. In County of Silistra House of Asen had already become extinct by 1300. Silistra also had two female monarchs (Countess Mariya of the House of Terter and Countess/Princess Svetla of the House of Dobruja). Silistra was in Personal Union with Bulgaria (Sofia) after Svetla until its annexation (1571). Varna had a war of succession in 15th century. Like Macedonians rulers at title changes are the same person.

While these are both very cool, we do have a thread for listing alternate monarchs and aristocratic houses, in the Before 1900 section, just in case you wanted to share them there.

[2] ITTL, Santorum loses to Wofford in 1994, but in 2000 Gov. Tom Ridge manages to win the seat.

[3] ITTL, the midterm backlash against Gerald Ford in 1978 allows the Democratic Party to take over several state legislatures, allowing them to ratify the D.C. Voting Rights Amendment and get two U.S. Senate seats and one U.S. House seat, which became two after the size of the House was expanded in 1981. Rice was elected to the U.S. Senate after Sen. Jesse Jackson retired from office.

Wait, how does this warrant a warning?
I have no clue.

  • Crosbie wins the PC leadership in 1983.
  • Crosbie still wins the 1984 Election, but due to his unlingualism and complete disregard for Quebec Nationalism, he fails to sweep Quebec and instead the Liberals pull off a 1980-esque near sweep.
  • Being a staunch supporter of Free Trade, Crosbie still pursues Free Trade with the States. However, because he can't count on Quebec voting strongly Tory and because Turner doesn't have nearly the same credibility/leadership issues with the public due to a much stronger result in 1984, he loses re-election in 1988.
  • Crosbie resigns and the leadership is won by Joe Clark.
  • As promised, Turner tears up the Free Trade agreement. This is a smart move politically but doesn't help with the upcoming recession. Due to said recession, Turner's government quickly loses its popularity, though he's still in a far better position than Mulroney was OTL due to less incumbency fatigue, no Constitutional Shenanigans, and no GST. As such, even though he's trailing in the polls in 1992 when an election would normally be called, it's not by a huge margin and Turner is convinced he can turn it around. He calls an election and promptly loses the election, with the PCs winning a majority.
  • Clark wins re-election over Chrétien in 1996 and 2000 due to the improving economic climate of the day plus successful PC campaigns that paint Chrétien as a dinosaur.
  • Clark announces in mid-2001 that he will resign as Tory leader and PM as soon as his successor is elected. The period between his announcement and his leaving office are uneventful until the 9/11 attacks occur, shaking the world to its very core. Clark is almost unanimously praised for his typical statesman-like response, with some even calling for Clark to rescind his resignation and lead Canada through the uncertain time ahead, but he rejects these calls and maintains that he will leave office as promised.
  • He is succeeded by Brain Pallister. Pallister is by all accounts a competent fellow, but faces severe criticism for his decision to send Canadian troops to Iraq.
  • With the Tories already having been in power for 12 years (and thus having a decent amount of incumbency fatigue), and especially with Pallister's decision starting out unpopular and only becoming moreso over time, the Liberals sweep to office in 2004 under longtime Quebec MP Dennis Dawson, winning nearly 200 seats. The Tories, meanwhile, are devastated, nearly falling to third behind the NDP.
  • One of Dawson's first acts in office is to withdraw Canadian troops from Iraq, which proves immensely popular. Come 2008, the PCs, now led by Clark-era Minister and Calgary MP Joe Clark, are rather doomed by their low starting point, the fact that the Liberals are still in their first term in office and the enduring unpopularity of Pallister, and the Liberals win another majority. Still, the PCs hadn't expected to win and only in their wildest dreams did they think the Liberals could be cut to a minority. Seeing as Prentice is perceived as a steady hand who has set the party on the right course, Prentice is allowed to stay.
  • The crash still happens and Canada is still insulated from the worst of it, though I imagine without Free Trade it goes at least a little bit worse.
  • Dawson retires in 2010, having entered his early 70s and being exhausted from handling the Canadian response to the crash. He is replaced by Dominic LeBlanc.
  • LeBlanc is able to win another majority in 2012 due to a strong campaign, voters giving the Liberals credit for the recovery, and an inept campaign by Prentice.
  • Maxime Bernier (still an MP for Beauce) wins the leadership on an OTL Mulroney-esque pitch of "I can win Quebec" (still Liberal dominated ITTL mind you).
  • However, this is Maxime Bernier we're talking about, so in 2016, he turns what was supposed to be a simple "time for change" message into a bizarre, erratic, and most of all off-putting mess. The PCs don't even breakthrough in Quebec, and while the PCs had been tied with the Liberals nationally before the election, the Liberals nearly win a fourth straight majority once the returns come in.
  • Bernier is forced out at the next leadership review, failing to get even 50% support. He stands in the ensuing leadership race but is defeated by frontrunner Peter MacKay.
  • With the Liberals having been in office 14 years, MacKay is able to win a minority in 2018.

First Time's The Charm...Sort Of

14: Franklin Pierce(1853-1857)/John C Breckinridge*(1853-1857)[1]

15: John C Fremont**(1857-1862)/William L Dayton(1857-1861), Abraham Lincoln(1861-1862)[2]
16: Abraham Lincoln(1862-1865)[3]

17: Stephen Douglas(1865-1873)/George H Pendleton(1865-1869), Andrew Johnson(1869-1873)[4]
18: Ambrose Burnside/Thomas A Hendricks(1873-1881)

19: Abram Hewitt/Theodore Roosevelt(1881-1885)[5]
20: James Smith Bush/John Carlisie(1885-1893)[6]
21: Thomas Edison/Adams Pickeney(1893-1901)[7]

[1]Pierce actually managed to be narrowly renominated, which allowed Fremont the victory
[2]The ascension of a radical Republican/abolitionist triggered the civil war earlier, a conflict that Fremont managed to win. Though despised during his time with his re-election being a Truman-esque upset(or as most say, his dues for winning the ), and his removal of slavery ultimately being denied by congress(what he saw as his greatest failure), he is regarded as one of the greatest U.S presidents in hindsight for preserving the union
[3]Lincoln was a moderate replacement, a sign of piece. A prior candidate for VP, he would come to the presidency on Fremont's assassination by an angry Southerner. Lincoln's presidency was that of a peacemaker, with his hopes being to achieve Fremont's dream of a slave-less America. Ultimately his bid for election in his own right failed, but his role as peacemaker has made him an underrated president.
[4]The Little Giant was a surprise to be the one who would blow the flame of slavery out. He and later Burnside would be important in continuing the peace.
[5]Father of the more famous one. Survives longer in this timeline. His president focuses the Republican Party on philanthropist and industrialist ideals
[6]Great-grandfather of George HW
[7]First Republican in this timeline to have two full terms. VP is young and exists because of the butterfly effect
