I'd say that the shift is a bit much to have the Socialist Party be a non entity, and with no signs of Agrarian or Capitalist Reformers for decades and then suddenly have Debs win the White House and then have La Follette follow up with A. Mitchell Palmer as his VP in a democratic based opposition and THEN have a military dictatorship.

That said I think you are right that for a lot of American dictatorship scenarios at the first half of the 20th Century, or for that matter a successful Socialist Party, that the easiest path is to go back to the ACW and move forward from there.

It's not that they don't exist, it's just that they aren't relevant, and so I simply didn't mention them. The Socialists do run candidates in 1900 and 1904. In Fairbanks' second term, there is a Great War, which the Socialists obviously are against, and the Americans lose handily, which provokes Debs' victory. However, after he is assassinated and Lewis comes in, the economy is being constricted by Socialist policies and, with jealousy building at foreign success and the Republicans out of commission, Lewis simply isn't good enough to keep the Socialists in power.

I can't say I feel that such a path is particularly sound. And furthermore if you're going to have them be involved at all, I think its necessary to show the Socialists before their big break.
 
Make a list out of it. I dare you.

Undecided - 15%


Frank Roosevelt was able to break up a duopoly of conservative Republicans and Tammany Democrats through the success of his progressive reforms and public works. His successors would be less likely, however. Truman and Stevenson both tried to escape the influence of Tammany Hall only to find their time running the city brought to an end (and not by anti-corruption candidates like Estes Kefauver). Mayor Kennedy would be murdered at the 1964 World's Fair before he could truly make his mark on the city. In his absence, rival City Council Chair L. B. Johnson and his competing Johnson Machine would take over and dominate the city for a decade as Tammany's power began to fade. But his machine would be destroyed too. George McGovern's left-wing reformist Labor Party took city hall by storm in 1973 and set about breaking the city's long cycle of corruption. To defeat McGovern it would take an outsider and the Democratic Party would find their own. James Carter, a long-time champion of anti-corruption efforts, was soon thrust into the mayoralty. The efforts of McGovern and Carter's terms forced Tammany and similar corruption outfits into hiding. But they would be back. As the ineptitude of the Mondale and Dukakis administrations ushered in a decade of Republican mayors, many local politicians would find themselves working alongside the forces of Tammany Hall. The shocking primary defeat of Mayor Kerry by a civil rights activist named Barry Obama pushed Tammany back into the spotlight and their candidates attracted more and more voters. While Mayor Obama consolidated the left-wing vote and Republican Councilwoman Rodham consolidated the right-wing vote, Tammany Hall sought after those who had become disaffected by modern politics. Their takeover of the local Democratic Party apparatus would be completed in 2017 with the victory of their candidate in party primaries. 'Mayor Marty' polled well but would ultimately be caught off guard by an insurgent Labor Party, whose candidate placed a close second to Councilwoman Rodham. But Rodham would resign and abandon the city to Advocate Biden. Joe Biden was one of the oldest faces in NYC politics with a career dating back to the Humphrey administration. He had survived Tammany's influence then and so too did he weather their resurgence. This made the elderly Biden's mayoral renomination a non-starter.

The 2021 Mayoral Election has so far been one of the most competitive in the city's history. With only weeks to go until voting, the contest has narrowed to three candidates: Councilman Bernard Sanders, the Labor Party standard-bearer and 2017 runner-up; billionaire former Congressman Michael Bloomberg, whose campaign is inextricably linked to Tammany Hall; and Alderman Peter P. M. Buttigieg, a young up-and-coming Republican official whose youth has led to many Republicans backing Bloomberg. NYC has yet to fully recover from the Second Depression (2008-2015) and each candidate has offered their own panacea. Councilman Sanders promises to defend the working-class like no other mayor has for decades, Alderman Buttigieg promises profound reform, and Congressman Bloomberg promises a return to the Good Times. It remains to be seen which message will carry the electorate.

The union of the Reform and Liberal parties into the National tent in 1925, under the leadership of Sir Arthur Fell, was the first of many rebrands pursued by the anti-Labour forces in New Zealand. Fell himself pursued a protectionist policy, favouring Imperial Preference, and indeed (as his successor's Finance Minister) helped to negotiate the Ottawa Agreement with British PM Stanley Bruce and others. However, the National Government was swept aside following the Great Depression, with a formerly radical Labour Leader taking over and instituting a welfare state.

Even if conservatism had still borne any attraction from the populace at this point in their misery, it would have been cast asunder by the invidious attempt by the Governor-General to thwart Trautmann's nationalisation of the banking sector by calling for Sir Bede Clifford to form a minority government under the United Party (a merger between National and right-wing groups). This government, predictably, fell as soon as Parliament met, and the electorate confirmed their preferences by re-electing Trautmann (and, after his death, his more moderate machine-politician successor) for three decades. This is where the frequent comparisons between New Zealand and the Nordic nations come in.

Finally, a conservative leader popped up who was attractive to the voters of Aotearoa: Ged Baldwin was a proponent of clean and open government, which was much-needed after many years of rorts and stitch-ups between Labour, the trade union movement and their allies in business. Baldwin had also seen off the Social Credit movement which had threatened to replace the conservatives (now 'Progressives') altogether. The next Prime Minister was Baldwin's anointed son, Garfield Todd, but he flew the progressive flag too openly in attempting to institute the Treaty of Waitangi in law, and was deposed by a right-wing rebellion masterminded by Tom Iremonger and Trevor Skeet. Todd and his rump of supporters joined forces with Labour to force an election, which Todd - as flavour of the month - won handily. However, the Centre Party moved too fast for its voters when it replaced Todd with an environmental campaigner.

Fifteen years in bootless Opposition atrophied the Labour Party, but John Platts-Mills set the nation alight with a grandfatherly concern for the poor and unemployed, along with strong foreign policy positions including the banning of nuclear ships from NZ waters. 'Plattsmania' swept Des Wilson from power, with the urban liberals finally accepting that Labour would be just as keen to equalise the status of Maori as the Centre Party had been - a position much changed from the Heffron years. However, Platts-Mills' heavy spending and obsessive focus on irrelevant human rights and foreign policy issues to the exclusion of domestic crises turned the electorate back to the Centre Party, which now turned to swallow the remains of the Progressives.

Labour would not return to Government until the neoliberal reforms of the Centrists went too far - Gould had the economic chops to make a forceful appeal to a traditional social democracy for the new age. However, he grew frustrated with people in his caucus who would not move in line with him and, for instance, favoured a free trade agreement with Australia which he thought doomed to kill the NZ manufacturing sector. Denise Kingsmill took over when he quit, but female leadership has never sat well with unreconstructed elements of the trade union movement, and she was rolled by Craig Thomson - who was almost immediately caught up in masses of fraud allegations.

Since then, the moribund and unpopular Centre Party has risen from the ashes to form the Reform Party, uniting modern liberal conservatives with anti-corruption campaigners like Derryn Hinch, under the leadership of the rather old-fashioned Tory Paul Beresford, who appeals to the dark hunger of Kiwis to be studiously ignored by the Establishment. Some, however, have accused Reform of being much more unreformed than it claims to be, pointing to the series of excuses made for Aidan Burley dressing up as a Nazi. It seems likely that the Reform brand will be as temporary as every previous iteration of Kiwi conservatism.
 
I think I've spotted the gimmick - they were all NZ-born politicians in other countries, right?
Correct, apart from Bede Clifford, who became a Governor, but I just like the name 'Bede'.

The only ones I found but didn't mention were Rupert Haggen (CCF politician in British Columbia) and Angela Richardson (became a Tory MP this last December).

President of (the Republic of) the United States of America (Williamsburg Government)
1798: Thomas Jefferson / vacant (Republican) [Acting]


Committee of National Guidance, Republic of the United States of America (Williamsburg Government)
1799: Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Nathaniel Macon, Pierce Butler, James Wilkinson (Republican), Napoleon Bonaparte (French Republican)


Consul of the Republic of the United States of America (Williamsburg Government)
1799-1800: Napoleon Bonaparte (Republican Union)


De Facto President of the Republic of the United States of America
1800: James Monroe (American Republican)


The crisis with France had been growing between that nation and the United States for several years, though the latter half of the Washington Administration and the first year of the Adams. But there had always been an ocean between the two nations, even as French and Spanish Privateers wracked the shores of the young nation, there had been a degree of faith that the war would not come home. Alexander Hamilton, had dreamed that a war between the two would be fought in ever more distant Spanish Colonies: Florida, Louisiana, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. The French would never get out of Continental Europe, least their mighty armies be crushed by the Royal Navy and sent to watery graves. But in 1798 the world turned upside down, and the greatest of all the French Generals led an Army of 40,000 men out of Europe and into the openness of the Atlantic. When they landed along the James River, chaos followed.

Washington would rally the Provisional Army of the United States which he had been made Commander-in-Chief of to Harper's Ferry. But even had his new regiments managed their paper strength they would have still been outnumbered almost 4 to 1, they were not so lucky yet. Militia failed to hold Richmond and then the paranoia went wild. Thomas Jefferson released his Declaration on the Rights of Americans, and declared himself the legitimate President of the United States and while large swaths of the Nation rushed to his banner where the invasion was a liberation. Having landed Napoleon's forces in Virginia, the French navy managed to transport 10,000 Haitian troops, under Jean-Jacques Dessalines and land them in the French Occupation zone, creating a political hellstorm that would never quite go away.

Washington, with Alexander Hamilton as his de facto field commander would be forced to fight at the Battle of Federal City, a near rout, and Bladensburg, where the 1st US Cavalry Regiment was obliterated in a daring rear guard action which saw the General's Grandson/Adopted Son/Namesake Coronet "Wash" Custis killed. The speed of Napoleon's fighting was such that Martha Washington was captured in Maryland trying to reach her Husband as he retreated towards the Capital in Philadelphia. The two would never see each other again.

The arrival of the Haitian and French Republican troops saw a violent transformation overcome the Republican zone even before it began to be refereed to as the Republic of the United States. There were Slave revolts, mass escapes, and mass conscription. While this spelt the doom of the plantation system it would also be used as a twisted carrot and stick, where Republican American troops would be offered as protection for those plantations that did swear loyalty to the government in Virginia's old capital, and often confiscation for those who didn't. The Aristocratic Republicans of the South would look on in horror over the following years at these choices and occasionally waxed romantically about the solution having come in the fiery absolutism of war. The slaves killed in mass hysteria would disagree.

Washington's attempt at a surprise attack at Trenton, in homage to 1776 saw the death of Henry Knox, The battle of Cumberland Gap saw the collapse of any attempt to hold the Western frontier. More Haitian troops landed in New Orleans, joined by volunteers from New Spain and the Tribal Nations on the Frontier. The situation was disastrously grim for the Federalists who in their rear were responding to more and more authoritarian actions to maintain themselves. Some degree of British help arrived in North America but Sir John Moore's Army was directed to seize Havana rather then come to the aid of the Former Colonies.

Though 1799 the Republican region transformed itself. First as Jefferson saw the Constitution abrogated and government changed to that of a mass assembly and special committees, and also with Napoleon Bonaparte taking for himself, more and more control. The Corsican General saw for himself grand opportunities in the Americas, Republics in Canada, Mexico, the Carribean and beyond in the French Camp. A system wherein the American Continents would block out British influence and thus further the cause of strangling London's economic dominance of the world. He would send troops: French, Haitian and American down to Spanish Florida to fight British landings there, and into the West, linking up on the Ohio River with his allies landed in New Orleans at last. And he worked, with brutal efficiency to secure the heartland of the New American Republic in Virginia, the Carolina and Georgia. Partisan Warfare became a fact of life that year in a repeat of the Southern Campaign but the outnumbered and unpopular Federalists of the South lacked the appeal of the Patriots of old. Or their mobility, being in many cases the same men now grown older. In the North Alexander Hamilton would lead a contingent of troops on New York when President Adams proposed Peace Negotiations and in purging the Congress of the man's fellow advocates seized de facto control of the levers of government beyond even what he had done as Washington's Secretary of the Treasury. On the front though he remained inactive, and stared down his enemies across the fields of New Jersey without attacking.

Nuts, I had an idea for a chaotic 2020 election but realised my aimed outcome relies on the GOP turning against Trump and potentially a Dem candidate getting through congress

also the result is similar to "A World Turned upside down" on the old country and I wouldnt want to steal from that.
 
i was inspired by Hunters, okay
