Thanks. I'm still getting used to the formatting system. I hope the revised colours are easier on the eye.
For those of us who use the Dark Background its effectively invisible though. Which isn't as big a problem because there's probably fewer people using it but still kind of funny.Just a suggestion, I find that olive shades work well as 'stands in for yellow but you can read it'.
Like this for example.
Fantastic list, @The Red - though a minor point, I enjoyed the reference to the Battle of Alexandria. So many AH fictions that have a different Middle Eastern campaign seem to assume that Axis Victory is assured once you're past OTL El Alamein positions, and ig really wasn't

OhhhI was hoping to get the write up together but its looking more and more like something that would be a fun Vigenette or TLIAD but the idea is that the old man doesn't die in 1919, be it because he didn't go to South America or that Quintin didn't die. His 1916 securing of the GOP nominee in a hard pro-war platform precluded him from what IOTL would have been his inevitable 1920 run had he not died and thus finds himself shut out in the 1920's. In 1932 there was some talk about the Republicans nominating Roosevelt and solving the Depression with Emergency Powers but a battle with Herbert Hoover at the convention meant that the party instead nominated a compromise ticket with lackluster results. TR became a regular in DC speaking with President Reed as he battled the Depression but more and more became a grand old man, half forgotten and mostly a relic of an older time.
Until 1940. With War underway in Europe and Isolationism on the march in the GOP and across the nation at large, the Old Bull Moose returned to the national forfront with his own take on what needed to be done, and a desperate, final, and in many ways flawed race to the White House from Sagamore Hill began again.
My own Note: The idea was basically WI TR lived as long as David Lloyd George? He's a bit older but much like all of the bad DLG in 1940 TLs that have floated around over the year I figured it would be fun to at least set up a TR story.
I really wish you made this a thing when you have more time
I feel like such an idiot, I think I used him as a Confederate President once.
Correction: I texted my girlfriend about this and she told me that I'm insane if I feel like an idiot about this.
That girlfriend doesn't exist. All I get is someone who is supportive but does not get my passions.Honestly I don’t even want a relationship unless my SO can call me out on my incorrect and poor counterfactual list-making

If we're going to talk about colors though a better color option pallet for the site would be the thing I'd go for anyway. I don't like having to go dig up hex guides. Rabble rabble.
A more successful Western offensive in 1914 prompts the French to evacuate Paris rather than fight for it, retreating behind the Seine and allowing the Germans to become far more embedded in France, at much greater cost. As the bloody stalemate intensifies a successful penetration of the Bosphorus provokes an Ottoman capitulation, the threatening of the Balkan flank, and an interrupted flow of supplies to the Russians. Despite enormous logistical hiccups, the Russian Army pushes irrevocably westward into Poland and Austria; the survival of Serbia and the entrance onto the Entente side of Romania and Italy by the end of 1915 pushes the Central Powers to their breaking point.
I ended up talking to a mate in the pub the other day about this article I wrote for the blog earlier in the year and one or two things got expanded upon. As far as I can recall.

You do know he was jointly responsible for the People's Budget, yes?Why is Churchill a Liberal? He was a Tory through and through.
I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt because you’re new here, but lists don’t have to be fully fleshed out timelines. Taking a stroll through the rest of the thread shows lists with a similar amount of footnotes. Not every list has to include multiple countries either.Wow, the lack of effort here is astonishing. You got some good ideas, but you don't explain what's happening in Europe, who the American presidents are (assuming Wilson loses to some isolationist) and the specific policy details of the different governments would be great. Maybe several wikiboxes. And a full list of candidates defeated. Meat to the bone, y'know?
lolNo way Snowden is leaving the Labour Party, either.
