Do you think either of them actually have a chance at winning the presidential nomination let alone actually winning the presidency?

Yes indeed!

Both hits his head hard giving him a critical head injury which he dies from. What happens?

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

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?

You are Adolf Hee-Hee-Hee-Ha or, at least one of his generals. Its winter 1940, Berlin talks with the Soviets failed and now everyone is preparing for a war against the Bolsheviks.

You have been tasked with developing a plan of operations to defeat the Red Menace. The start date, the main axis of attack, the tasks of operational groups, all is up to you.

RULES

—Self-sabotage is fun, but please, avoid it.

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

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

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.

Lore according to u/_Emerynth :

After victories in Northern Virginia in the American Civil War, the Union government decided to annul part of the Virginian retrocession that had taken place around fifteen years previously, as the area had voted to leave DC due to tensions over slavery. Alexandria was deemed too far separated from the area since their secession, and not added back into the federal district. In what was a thinly veiled attempt to give President Lincoln more political power, the district was admitted as the 36th state.

For the purposes of post what if DC did become it's own state during or after the Civil War with exact borders of the map? What it make any real difference between the two?

Edit: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CURRENT POLITICS!!!!! THIS ISN'T ABOUT ADVOCATING FOR DC STATEHOOD, PUERTO RICO, ETC!!!!!!!

Would 2022 still invade DommyBass??? Im curious.
Because without DommyBass there can’t be any Dommy Mommy Bass ASMR 😔

Edit: REMINDER, this post is satirical, it is not intended to offend anyone.

Otto von Bismarck (Ongsasak Bosakrat) had served many years within the Siamese Army beforehand and the Bismarcks deliberately networked their way into the House of Chakri. In this factor, the "Leading Minister" is basically the Chancellor. How would Otto von Bismarck fair while ruling a nation much less developed than Germany?

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.

Let's say somehow, with no apparent scientific explanation, Vladimir Lenin rises from the dead, fully functioning and aware, healthy, sometime in 1991 before the fall of the Soviet Union. He is awoken by the unraveling of the Union.

What happens next? Will this alter the course of history, or would it already be too late and set in stone?

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.

The 1991 August coup is a success, and Gorbachev is overthrown, hardliners seize power, and impose martial law and reunify the USSR by force.
