While just poking around the internet, I came across this item that I have never seen before:
The 1918 Delahaye Tank: In that infant state of tank development, there were a host of proposals for different configurations (i.e. Tsar/Lebendenko tank, the Skeleton tank, etc). This design is certainly one of the more unique ideas for fighting across trench-land

Could a "Marshall Plan for Russia" have worked after the Cold War? Was this feasible?
So on the US end: Not enough money

It would certainly affect his timetable for future political activity. If he goes Navy, he probably has a relatively quiet war, but his service would be both a political and operational plus later on. If he goes to the Army or Marines, that could spin out any number of directions.
*edit* That's timeline material
When is the earliest that birth control pills could become available to the public?
What reagents does Marker's synthesis require, besides Mexican yams?
Eventually yes since sooner or later a nuclear reactor would have been built, as nuclear fission had already been discovered before the war.
It's hard to tell when since there are a lot of possible outcomes and it depends on what circumstances WW2 doesn't happen. Also Manhattan Project required a lot of resources and funds, they basically built a small town from scratch to make the bomb.
But if some government (most likely the US as it's the biggest economy) funds Nuclear Reactor development projects, eventually they will fund a project looking to use nuclear power for military purposes.
'Without the Great Depression, How Long Could the GOP's Victory Streak Have Lasted?'. Because even without a big mishap happening on the Republicans' watch, I imagine that voter fatigue will kick in eventually as people tire of one-party rule and vote in someone else for a change. Most likely a Democrat, due to how ingrained in American politics the two-party system is.
