Yes,I believe so. Martial Law was declared purely out of the fear of the USSR invading Poland like they did Czechoslovakia in 1968.

I think Charles Dawes would be the man with maybe Herbert Hoover as Vice Presidential candidate. I think the GOP would still win the election.

Wow,that's the first time I've ever heard about that! Thanks for the info(the things you learn everyday!).:cool::D

I could see Edward Longshanks trying to marry Margaret to his Son. I don't know if the nobles and common people of Scotland would go along with unification. I don't believe Robert Bruce would have went along with it.

I could see Nationalist Swedes in that situation thinking about recreating the former Swedish Empire(Just like Fascists in Italy wanted to recreate the Roman Empire).

What if there was no Profumo Affair in 1961? I think the biggest winners in this reality would be the Conservative Party. I think they wouldn't have that to stain them in 1964 and would defeat the Labour Party and Harold Macmillan would still be Prime Minister.

Who do you think would be the possible Il Duce-Caudillo-Fuhrer of a fascist Sweden in the 1930s?

What would have happened if a fascist government took power in Sweden in the 1930s? I think a union between Sweden and Finland might have been a possibility in that circumstance. If there's not a union of Sweden and Finland Sweden would probably have stayed neutral like Spain.

What impact would it have had on Scottish history if Margaret of Norway hadn't died in 1290? The Scots would have rallied to her but Edward l would still be backing(IMO) John Balliol to be King of Scotland. I think Edward l would still have invaded Scotland just like he did in this reality(John...

I think a lot of it was that the US South was the main supplier of cotton to Great Britain at the time.

I was under the impression that Japan faced so much resistance from Chinese forces in Shanghai in 1932 that they decided to withdraw.

I think Victoria wanted Great Britain to get involved in the American Civil War but Albert got her to stay out of it. Albert was a good man and a steadying influence for Victoria.

The South would be up shite creek with Beast Butler as Vice-President.

I just figured he might since Victoria had for the most part sided with the Confederacy(Albert told her to stay out of it). Queen Victoria had been pissed off at him for siding with Prussia in the Franco-Prussian war when she sided with France.

Great Kings usually have Heirs that fail to measure up to their standards.
