  1. Could John Brown’s government outlast him?

    John Brown is a personal hero of mine, one of the few historical figures to ever dedicate himself so fully to a cause purely on moral grounds. That said, his planned rebellion was deeply flawed, his provisional constitution was rigid and militant, and his personal temperament leaves much to be...

  2. DBWI: Bowser and Donkey Kong Switch Roles

    The original Donkey Kong has Mario/Jumpman, a blue-collar worker, fighting Donkey Kong at a construction site. Later games had the forward-thinking, hard-working, and productive Mario and Luigi facing off against the environmentalist, traditionalist Donkey Kong. Traveling from an urban center...

  3. What would a TL 191 version of The New Order: The Last Days of Europe look like?

    I don't think there's a need for a direct analogue to everything in TNO and any worldbuilding project would suffer from trying to make the pieces line up. For example, the map I linked above has 191!Mexico as the equivalent of TNO!Italy, but in TL-191 Mexico more closely resembled Spain...

  4. What would a TL 191 version of The New Order: The Last Days of Europe look like?

    Somebody on Reddit posted a series of maps of a post-Entente victory in North America, called "There is No Hope under the Golden Circle" or "It's Always Sunny in West-Jersey." Here is the basic map. Here is a map including the US as a set of warlord like TNO!Russia. Here is a map of the Dixie...

  5. The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

    Can't wait!

  6. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    I don't think its impossible for Agnew to rehabilitate his image enough for the Old America argument to work. Stranger things have happened in this TL.

  7. Alt-History Aftermath Scenarios Implied by Media

    The 1991 John Goodman comedy King Ralph followed a boorish Las Vegas lounge singer whose grandmother had an affair with a British prince. When the entire royal family is wiped out in a freak accident, Ralph is the last living claimant to the throne. Throughout the course of the movie, Ralph...

  8. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    Does anybody know what page of the thread the table of contents for this and FLG was?

  9. President Marilyn Monroe

    In 1962, Monroe suffers a severe drug overdose in what is speculated to be a suicide attempt. After a brief coma, Monroe awakens and publicly admits to the "error of her ways." She decides to forgo her past - drug use, sexual promiscuity, the frivolous lifestyle of a Hollywood starlet - and...

  10. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Found this on my Google Drive earlier today. I remember writing it but I didn't add any notes so I don't remember how I made the choices I made. The POD is obviously that Gary Hart's sex scandal either doesn't go public, or doesn't go public until after the election. Beyond that, your guess is...

  11. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    In-universe, Rumsfeld was radicalized by the Second Great Depression and the long period of political uncertainty during the Agnew, Gavin, and Wallace administrations. That sort of thing can change a person. Speaking of, one thing that hasn't gotten a lot of attention lately is Vice President...

  12. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Finally finished catching up. So excited for this mod, but I worry about how many watchlists I'm on for googling some of the people involved. I noticed that Her Majesty's Most Loyal Resistance's initials are close to spelling Himmler. Was this intentional? Is the HMMLR/Himmler similarity...

  13. What if ___________ Never Met ____________?

    What if Harry Truman never met Tom Pendergast? Pendergast was the leader of the Kansas City Democratic machine. When Truman was out of work, Pendergast got him elected as a county court judge. Pendergast’s machine was so important to Truman’s political rise that other senators called Truman the...

  14. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    There will be a lot of debate ITTL over what led to the global crises of the late 20th century (just like there's still debate over the main cause of, say, the American Civil War or WWI, off the top of my head). Of course, there is no single cause, but I wonder what people will attribute? Unlike...

  15. Following the Reagan Route

    Shamelessly bumping my own thread with wikiboxes. Again, not the same timelines.

  16. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes V (Do Not Post Current Politics Here)

    Shameless cross-post from my thread in post-1900 “Following the Reagan Route”, about other celebrities that could have become president. (Infoboxes not from the same TL)

  17. Following the Reagan Route

    NOT the same timeline, but two wikiboxes I threw together

  18. Following the Reagan Route

    If the Civil Rights Movement goes smoother a President Belafonte would be interesting. America would have to be ready for a black president long before they were ready IOTL. I could see him as a senator?

  19. Following the Reagan Route

    One of my favorite movie scenes is in Back to the Future, when Marty tells Doc that Ronald Reagan becomes President and Doc is blown away by the idea of an actor as president. After all, President Reagan was a ridiculous concept in 1955. Then recently, I heard the 1965 Tom Lehrer song "George...

  20. Alternate world Propaganda

    It isn’t TL-191. Besides, if you really want to get technical, the USA used OTL German style uniforms so the CSA would have had an OTL American style.
