    WI: Columbus, Ohio survives a Nuclear Exchange

    Interesting. But by Long Term I meant longer than that. Like, after the ashes settle, what are the likely foreign policy imperitives of Ohio? What are it's interests regarding... the mississippi river system, for example?

    WI: Columbus, Ohio survives a Nuclear Exchange

    The premise of this thread is that in 1983 Able Archer goes hot. However, due to luck and happenstance, all of the devices aimed at Columbus, Ohio's capital, are either shot down or fail to do any damage because of mechanical failure. How is this likely to impact the post-Exchange world...

    Really? No interest in a Reconstruction PoD?

    President Schuyler Colfax?

    The Assassination of Lincoln was also supposed to assasinate Vice-President Johnson and Secretary of State Seward. What if those other assassinations had succeed? How would Reconstruction have unfolded with a Republican at the helm?

    WI: Video Game Industry without Nintendo

    Say that the weather was clear on Kyoto that day and Nintendo fell victim to Fat Man. Or maybe it sticks to just making cards. For whatever reason, Nintendo doesn't get into video games. How does the Video Game industry develop?

    If it has to keep the German Navy penned in then it will have a problem using it's navy against the USA.

    So, when American funding dries up, what are the chances of socialist revolution in France?

    USA stays neutral in WWI

    For the US to stay neutral requires also that they not favor the entente so much.

    What If: The North Secedes in the ACW.

    Well, looking at the Wiki, it seems that the Southern Democrats wanted to pass a Slave Code for the territories, which would force territorial legislatures to support slavery even if they didn't want to. And that Douglas wasn't in favor of such a slave code, preferring the Freeport Doctrine...

    What If: The North Secedes in the ACW.

    What are the causes of the split then?

    What If: The North Secedes in the ACW.

    So there's the POD. Simply find a way to butterfly the three way split the Democrats suffered, keeping Lincoln out of the White House and putting a pro-Slavery President in. Let boil for a few years while resentment builds as the vile institution spreads across the North, with the Fugitive...

    What If: The North Secedes in the ACW.

    Wasn't there an "in transit" type legal trickery that did bring slavery to the north after Dredd Scot? Or am I mixing RL up with Decades of Darkness?

    Commies in Earlier Times: A collaborative TL

    Communism can arise whenever people get the idea of it, and they've had those sorts of ideas since Plato at least. There just has to be a movement towards it, that has enough popular support.

    What If: The North Secedes in the ACW.

    What if instead of the slavocrats seceding to protect slavery, the North had seceded because they refused to continue to be associated with slavers?

    Possibly. Possibly not. But it is likely at least somewhat related to political prominence.
