Maybe I'm wrong, but here's one I haven't seen too much: 'George W. Bush Wins Popular Vote In 2000 Election'.

What about 'No Section 230 In The Communications Act Of 1996'? Granted, that may be more of a 'Politics and Current Affairs" topic since it both a) has game-changing implications for the 21st Century and b) is very much relevant to 2019, but it would still take place after 1900 nonetheless.

I could be wrong about this suggestion, but how about 'Communist Adolf Hitler'? It's a rather unique prompt that I myself haven't seen often outside of one AH.com TL about it. |

Do not think we going to like a communist Germany. Well, obviously. The real question, I think, is how it might compare to OTL Nazi Germany? |

Potentially, yeah. Based on that prediction, I'm guessing you think that Red Germany would be more prone to international adventurism in the name of "die revolution!" or what have you? With A. Hitler winding up in charge, I can imagine that happening. |

Well Soviet Russia was doing that until Poland kick their buts in the Polish–Soviet War of 1919-1921, i can see a Red Germany doing the same, starting in Spain and then going to Austria (who will not join a Red Germany under its current government) and so on. |

I think the problem with this is that given the conservatism dominant at that point across virtually all of Europe west of the USSR I can't see a communist Germany getting the same slack as Hitler got OTL. Quite likely as early as the attempt to re-enter the Rhineland the French, probably supported by other powers are likely to step in. There could be unrest in areas with strong communist elements but fear of a revanchist Communist Germany is likely to be significantly greater than OTL.

What about 'FDR Lives Longer', say until around the 1950s or '60s? Even though that'd have far-reaching implications for a changed TL going forwards, I don't recall seeing that scenario discussed on AH.com all that often.

It would need a hell of a change given his poor health and the strain put onto him during the war. However if it happened would he seek to stand again in 1948? Or possibly seek to be the power behind the throne in the Democratic party?

Good points. I don't know what could be done about his polio and other defining physical ailments, but maybe if he somehow quit--or at least, vastly cut down on--drinking and cigar smoking during his presidency, FDR might be able to live for at least a few years more? Plus, assuming that World War Two ends around 1945 and with the Allies having crushed the Axis ITTL, perhaps he'll cite his record of leading America through the Great Depression and another global war if he runs for reelection in 1948. Although, a weak response to any post-war Soviet expansion (or at least, encroachment) may hurt his chances of winning a fifth term. |
