    Caribbean Cold War: Stoking a Race War

    Though in fairness, it's clear Jagan would rather have a loan from the US, he was just trying to gain leverage in the most idiotic way imaginable.

    PM's Election Maps And Stuff Thread

    You see a similar thing in America with the "rise of the nones" - one hypothesis is a lot of them marked themselves as believers in surveys because they didn't care about religion but they did care about not being like the Communists. Once the Red Menace became largely history, there wasn't a...

    WI: Madison's 'most important' Amendment goes through

    Historically, most schools run by the church (a minority by the state) based roughly on a per-student formula. The Netherlands had something similar too. Very similar to the whole school voucher movement in the United States.

    Could the Union Nationale have survived?

    I mean if Duplessis dies a little sooner, and Sauvé doesn't die, the UN might reform sufficiently that they hold onto power in the 1960s. Which might lead to the UN being a soft-nationalist party abd naybe stealing at little bit, but certainly not most, if the *PQ's thunder.

    PM's Election Maps And Stuff Thread

    Wait, did Vendee vote for the Macronists? That's wild, and weirdly consoling all the same.

    WI: Israel annexes Bethlehem and Ramallah after 1967

    In my experience this is part of the reason Melkites (in the broad sense, both Orthodox and Catholic) often don't get along with non-Melkite Christians as much as you would think. Unlike say, Assyrians/Chaldeans, they're more likely to have no problem saying they have an Arab ethnic identity...

    First in the Nation - Arizona?

    Yeah, agribusiness was (and to some extent still is) a force in Arizona as well, only instead of corn, it's cotton and alfalfa.

    Max's election maps and assorted others

    From what I got, the National Assembly was composed of the following: 10 members to be appointed by the King, 35 members (at least 3 of whom at any time should be women) elected by the House of Representatives on an STV basis, 15 members, 3 from each Development Region, elected by Electoral...

    Writing AH. Anachronisms Part 6. War. Huh. What is it named for?

    With the Second World War, of course, in Russia and its satellites especially it is known as the Great Patriotic War (Ukraine used to as well, before changing all references to "The Second World War" on the premise that it wouldn't do for Ukrainians to be patriotic about the Soviet Union). The...

    None at the time of UDI, though one had been elected in the previous parliament for the UFP.

    WI: Galician Greek Catholic Ukrainians to Poland after WWII

    The problem is that Stalin justified his annexation of Eastern galicia and Volhynia as vindicating Ukrainian wishes to be re-united into one state. So deporting Ukrainians to Poland, well, doesn't look good. On that train of thought, Greek-Catholics had a disproportionate influence ob the...

    Max's election maps and assorted others

    Also, this was helped/hurt by the divisions of the pro-life movement between those forces (tacitly supoorted by the Catholic hierarchy) for rolling it back through vatious reforms and obtaining favorable judges, and a more radical wing (mostly led by lay activists, often to the exasperation of...

    Sport in Alternate History. Part 1.
