A really good idea; am I right in saying that the list is an analogue of events from OTL 1886? Also, would you be able to give a summary of how events unfold during this period?
Another excellent list.
I really like the reference to a post-war consensus drastically different to our own, but how exactly did things in Britain get to this stage? Is it just the author hyperbolising for his American audience?
An absolutely fantastic list and a fascinating scenario with lots to unpack.
Why did they do this?
How did Teller pull this off?
I assume that the "Galaxy Gun" is Project Excalibur in OTL, does the "full thing" refer to Brilliant Pebbles?
After the Parliament Act passed Balfour was entirely exhausted and everyone could see that he was finished as a leader; I think it's almost impossible for him to make a comeback in this scenario, especially so soon after his fall. Long and Selborne are definitely viable options though; how about...
Does anyone know of timelines where these tropes are done well?
To be fair, I hadn't heard of it being done in a timeline before I did it in Decades of Discontent*.
*Which absolutely will be resumed, eventually.
Does this rule out all of the major terrorist groups of the period, or do you think a group (either out of desperation as a sort of last stand or just one with sufficiently deranged leaders) could make an attempt in this period? Alternatively, is it possible that something of this magnitude...
The French invasion of Russia is largely cited as a disaster that marked the beginning of the end for Napoleon. However, it was largely disease and the Russian weather that decimated Napoleon's forces as opposed to military defeat, would not be until the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 and the...
Is there any way for the Nationalists to see more success and escalate the conflict? Could a more successful San Juan revolt be the first step towards a Nationalist victory? Or maybe changes to American or global politics result in the US handling the situation in Puerto Rico significantly worse...
With a POD anytime after the founding of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party in 1922, is there any way to see the outbreak of a war for independence on the island? If so, how could this come about? Is there any chance of Nationalist success if such a war broke out or would the U.S. Army crush it...

List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (1927-2034), United Kingdom of Britain (2034-2035), United Kingdom of England and Wales (2035-2037):

Let's say that Silas Wright is somehow convinced to allow himself to be put forward as a compromise candidate during the 1844 DNC and as a result he becomes the Democratic nominee rather than James K. Polk. Would Polk be chosen for the VP nomination or someone else? Would a Wright/Polk ticket...
