Post B Then we'd still have to deal with that stupid Chairman Stu. What if the American Revolution never happened? Post C Then I'd probably be drinking some morning tea right now. Pip pip. What if Max Barry wasn't born? Hopefully the above template can provide some guidance. Let's get going. Here's the first post: What if Coke never existed?

In which case, the political landscape would not be as it currently is. President Nixon was a not a conservative, rather a moderate Republican. Although it can be held that conservative Republicans respected Nixon's anticommunism, they didn't like certain of his domestic initiatives nor his foreign policy decisions based on what he termed "realism". Notably, the Democratic Party that was self-destructing, with the party hosting a violent and confrontational convention in 1968. Had Watergate not happened, it is very unlikely that a Democrat would have won in '76. Speculatively, the United States would have a Republican Party dominated by moderates while the Democrats moving further to the left. What if Caesar hadn't been killed but lived to old age?

He would have had several more assassination attempts against him, and he would become even more of a dictator. There would be chaos. If Augustus Caesar didn't take over, there would not be the Pax Romana, and the government in Egypt would still exist. To retain his power, Julius would've had his opponents assassinated. Rome would probably not be split in two, and Rome would still fall. What if Napoleon successfully invaded Russia?

What if slavery had been outlawed in Britain before it colonized the Americas?

What if capitalism didn't exist? How would this concept of capitalism not existing affect communism? Edited by Syrixia, May 25 2015, 10:31 PM.

That produces too many butterflies to predict anything else. What if horses never became domesticated?

What if the arms race didn't happen?

What if slavery had been outlawed in Britain before it colonized the Americas? As a general aside, Slavery was never legal in Britian. Somerset v Stewart 1772 established that any slave brought into Britain was de-facto free, formalizing what had already become the case. Slavery in the English Empire never had any legal basis within common law, as the various american colonies were private undertakings.

Assuming you mean the cold war arms race, the Soviet economy takes slightly longer to collapse giving the reformers time to stabilize the USSR and arrange a managed collapse keeping most of central Asia and probably Ukraine and Belarus, whilst losing the Baltic States and the Caucus. What if William Seward was the Republican presidential candidate in 1680?
