Having just gone through a Presidential Election in the US, here is an alternate history based off of an alternate means to elect the President.

Today we explore the [Alternate] Presidency of the Ronald Reagan before Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater. Although he lost in a landslide to Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1964, the Arizona Senator was widely cited as founding the conservative wing of the Republican Party. His alternate election over a now still-living JFK with all the scandals that later came out in his life resulted in him retaking the White House for the GOP-something they would not lose until 2008. A female President in the 70s, 52 years of GOP control in the White House, 5 Democrats as President since the Civil War- here it today on Imagine If?

Henry Clay was the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Senator from Kentucky, and three time nominee of a major political party, first the National Republicans and in the later two races the Whig Party. He is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential men of 19th Century American politics- yet he never served as President. This episode explores the Presidency of Henry Clay, beginning in 1824.

Today's episode explores the Alternate Presidency of Alexander Hamilton

This episode, to kick off Season 2, we will explore the (alternate) Presidency of Alexander Hamilton. I first however must apologizes on the length of the show, I tried a new writing style and it failed miserably, and that this episode is late. Instead of edited last night, I watched the Presidential Debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joseph Biden, although looking back this would of been a much better use of my time. Sorry. However, welcome in Season 2 of Imagine If?

A different assassination starts World War I. Butterflies include the German flag over London, a Facist America, and Russia as the lifeboat of democracy. 

Next week starts Season 2

The United States never adopts the Constitution and is conquered again by Great Britain.

I would like to apologize. Last night, having edited and listened to all the audio for this episode, I managed to upload last weeks episode, so you may see two Confederations in whatever app or website your using to listen to this. I am doing my best to correct this error. Thank you.

Two days after the release of this episode, the United States will mourn the 19th year since the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. However, this episode explores a 9/11 gone much worse, specifically Iran gaining nuclear weapons and detonating them on three major American cities, New York City, Washington D.C, and Los Angeles. The United States, reeling from the attack and under President Bush's leadership, launches a war against Iran and Iraq. However, spies in Tehran find unsavory information about another nation, which directly leads to World War Three.

This episode uses the audio of one of George W. Bush's speeches, 9/11 Ground Zero Bullhorn Address. The source of the audio is AmericanRhetoric.com. The audio itself is in the public domain.

In 44 BC, Julius Caesar came to power in Rome, ruling the entire known world save the far off isle of Britain, Egypt, and Macedonia, which would come under the Roman banner under his and his step-sons, Augustus, rule over Europe. Never again was Europe so close to unity as under the Romans. Until, that is, Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon had taken a nation at war with itself for ten years, bankrupted, and whose only ally was the fledgling United States across the Atlantic, and turned it in an empire with all of Europe, save Britain, Russia, and Portugal. His infamous invasion of Russia in the winter was his downfall, but what if he negotiated Russia into his empire? Could Britain and Portugal have been brought into France? Fitting to say, Napoleon's first invasion was of Italy, where he would capture Rome. When in Rome, do as the Romans do: Conquer Everything.

This episode is a two-for-one in a sense that two major scenarios are Imagined. The Black Plague ravaged Europe in the 13th Century, with death rates 20x that of the COVID-19 pandemic, maybe even double that. It's estimated that 33% of Europe and the Middle East died during the Plague, although two nations (Milan and Florence) where relatively spared. In today's episode, England and Scotland jointly agree to close the British Isles and when they open up the isles 10 years later, 99% of Europe is dead. This results in the Aztec, Maya, and other native American nations eventually colonizing Europe, instead of the other way around.

Both the United States and Socialism have had long histories. Socialism is a political ideology which was created by Karl Marx in the mid-19th Century. It calls for the abolition of capital and private property. In China, Russia, Cuba, and other countries throughout the world, Marxism (the collective term for socialism, communism, and other Marxist ideologies) has been embraced, but has widely been rejected by the United States. However, during the Great Depression, many Americans called for the implication of Socialism. In light of modern American politicians being openly Socialist (See Senator Bernie Sander (D-VT) and Representative Alexandria Oscario-Cortez (D-NY) for example), Imagine If the US had become Socialist in the 1930s.

General George Washington was arguably the most important and most famous person of the American Revolution, and was essential in his role in the United States Constitution and his shaping of the role of the Presidency. However, he had some close calls. This story shows an alternate of if he had died on a British prison ship after being capturing following the Battle of Long Island (aka the Battle of Brooklyn Heights). He may have been the only person who kept the United States of Congress Assembled, later the United States of America, in one piece and may have saved it from becoming like the Monarchy they just left.
