That took me down one hell of a wiki rabbit hole

Yep, no Nazi takeover of Germany, probably a DNVP dominated Authoritarian Democracy. Still working within the post Great War international order more and less and a more aggressive Soviet Union focuses minds, at least for a couple of decades.

Central Europe Treaty Organisation: 1946 - 1967 Formed in the aftermath of the inconclusive 2nd Polish-Soviet War, the Central Treaty Organisation (CETO) was a collective security organisation which stated focus was the containment of Soviet influence in Eastern and Central Europe. First...

Stupid sexy Truss

Would Brandt be able to hold on as SDP leader and have another tilt in '73? OTL he had a very successful election in 1972 but then he was gone very quickly in the wake of the Gulliame affair and his own personal issues. Maybe here he feels he has a point to prove and stays to fight on?

Was having a read over the Ostpolitik article on wikipedia and came across the CDU's attempt to bring him down via a constructive vote of no confidence. The attempt failed by only 3 votes, with much whispering of Stasi involvement in bribing CDU members to keep Brandt in office. What if the...

It probably helps bolster Charles and Camilla's reputation, or at least quickens up the acceptance of them as a couple. They have both done a good job of presenting themselves to the public the past two decades and you seldom hear anyone slating Camilla, certainly not as much as you did in the...

What were the basics, RoI, NI and some sort of odd Republican Autonomous Zone in the North?

Could he be the continuity Rockefeller nominee after Nelson has his heart attack? I'm not totally au fait on internal Republican politics so this is just spitballing

One minor thing but I believe the film implies (or outright states, been a while) that Andor was actually a child soldier for the Separatists during the Clone War before switching his allegiance to the Rebellion, which I thought raised some interesting questions on the formation of the Alliance...

Putting Mussolini in the dock would certainly be interesting, being in better physical and mental health than Hitler he'd probably be willing and able to attempt to turn the trial into a political theatre to defend Fascism and cement his legacy.

To go totally off the reservation someone should do a Finland list that includes Commodant Lassard as Prime Minister
