-The Timeline follows the political career of Oswald Mosley from his election as a Labour MP in 1924 all the way to his eventual political downfall. Mosley becomes Labour leader in 1931 and is elected Prime Minister the following year; his administration has radically different policies to that of the National Government and conseqently the entire course of history is different from the mid 1930s onwards. Because of Mosley's foreign policy, war breaks out in 1938 over the attempted incorporation of Austria into Germany; the resulting war sweeps across Central Europe and ends in late 1938 with the assassination of Adolf Hitler by the Wehrmacht. After the war, Mosley wins a third term in office, but his leadership is increasingly questioned by the Labour Party and he is forced to resign in 1940. +The Timeline follows the political career of Oswald Mosley from his election as a Labour MP in 1924 all the way to his eventual political downfall.
