A potentially cataclysmic butterfly for British and world politics is the entrance of Britain and her armed forces into the American-led war in Vietnam. It's also one I know very little about.

What would it have taken for Wilson to have done it? If not him, who else in Labour, or from the Tories, could have? In which year would Britain have joined? What level of involvement would there be, and how much of an impact on the war itself would they have had? Would the American level of commitment (the draft) spread to the UK? What would the knock-on effects be - I get the impression the Britain of today would be politically unrecognisable.

If there's any good TLs about this already, please direct me to some.
