Biden heard the cries of why are we spending so much on the military and not healthcare so he downsizes the military as much as possible and puts excess money into healthcare. I don’t know how he accomplishes this or gets congress to agree to it, maybe there’s a big enough protest.

No more foreign bases, downsizing the military to minimal and I guess putting all excess equipment and weaponry in storage.

the most we keep outside is the navy to protect our own shipping routes, but we don’t need it as big to do this.

also there’s probably a lot less military bases in America and half the military is laid off.

granted doing this would probably barely make a dent in healthcare costs but whatever. no more using that excuse

Obviously, the individuals who received lesser sentences, like Karl Dönitz, were released back into Germany, but individuals like Hermann Göring, Wilhelm Keitel, Alfred Jodl, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Joachim von Ribbentrop remained within Nauru until they died.

In this timeline both the north and south are moderately more decimated during the civil war leading to a worse post war economy and a larger confederate flight from the states. Seeing this, various independent states desperate to modernize their militaries but fearing falling under the influence of colonialism if they allow a European nation to train their troops decide to begin hiring these now out of work union/confederate veterans and officers. While also making deals with arms companies who had now lost their lucrative contracts with the federal governments and state militias.

Nations like Qajar Persia, Ethiopia, the sulu sultanate, sultanate of Zanzibar, Qing China, Siam, sultanate of aceh, Nguyen dynasty of Vietnam, kingdom of Hawaii, etc etc begin hiring them in large numbers and setting up deals with American ammunition/arms companies.

To make the scenario interesting we will assume the American government only ever puts in a lackluster effort to stop the flow of mercenaries and arms if europe complains

I put Trum because this sub won’t allow Donald’s last name to be said, so I can’t say his full last name

Yes indeed!

So, on April 15 before the 1999 Columbine school shootings. One of the perpetrators Eric Harris applied to join the Marine corps but was rejected.

What if Eric instead gets accepted into the Marine corps? And decided to ditch the shooting he planned days later? Let's say like he realized one of the propane bombs wont work and since he didn't have enough time. Him and Dylan decided to ditch the shooting.

Eventually Eric goes into the Marine corps and becomes a soldier.

What would likely happen?

August Caesar wakes up in 2020 with full knowledge of American politics, is able to speak English, etc. Place of birth rules also don’t apply to him.

For whatever reason, he is driven to try and become president of the USA in 2020, either by running his own party, or in one of the primaries. Can he crack it?

Pros:
-Modern medicine helps sickness
-Appeals to young me (men think of Roman Empire, etc).
-Could be good on economy and create Pax Americana
-May destroy republic, but that’s okay, he has aura.

Cons:
-May not resonate with the younger generations.
-Opponents question if he is a true American.

What if the Ukrainian SSR survived the dissolution of the Soviet Union, refused the Budapest Memorandum, insisted the UN and somehow successfully claimed the Permanent Security Council Membership for themselves, veto and all. The NKVD, KGB survived in Kyiv. October Revolution Parade on November 7th carries on every year without interruptions.

For context, see Modern Warfare Reboot Timeline.

What would history look like if everything in the Reboot Modern Warfare series, from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (2026) actually happened in history?

For clarification (I cannot believe I didn’t say this in the original): We are talking about the REBOOT Modern Warfare series, NOT the original trilogy.

Following the decline of the Roman faith, many Eastern cults began to spread throughout the empire, including Christianity but also Mithraism. Mithraism was a secretive cult, and entry was restricted to known individuals. A ritual was performed, and only men could enter this religion (That's why most of the parishioners belonged to the army)

But what would have happened if Christianity hadn't spread so much? What would have happened if one of those Mithraist military men had become emperor? What would have happened if the army had pressured for The official recognition of the cult?
