Re: Alternate Earths 3, What Worlds? (hypothetical)
Warren G. Harding liked to fool around in the White House too, and he lived in an even more restrictive culture than JFK did. (Although the culture of his era did tend to hush up that type of scandal more).
Harding's death was rather mysterious. Perhaps that could be a divergence point. Was the Illuminati involved...? |

That setting is one of the most amazingly well-done dystopias I've ever encountered.

Dreadnought-3
Wilson was never ellected. The US stuck to its guns regarding neutral rights in the Great War, threatening to escort its merchant shipt, although only to neutral nations. As a result, there was a peace of exhaustion in the west, while Brest-Livosk crippled the new USSR, and gave Germany a nice bit of additional land. The USA is owed massive debts by both sides--and is in no mood to firgive these debts. Money pours in, and the US already HAS most of their gold. Even so, a new naval arms race is in progress, with Imperial Germany playing also. The attempts to negotiate a naval limitations treaty fail, and by the early '30's, there are fleets of new dreadnoughts everywhere, and more on the way. Someone sets the spark off...

Re: Alternate Earths 3, What Worlds? (hypothetical)
Was there an alternate Earth already mentioned where the U.K. was an entire penal colony and Australia was the former biggest "empire"?
