Welcome to the American Division Portal Page.
Socialism is not as unpopular and scary to Americans in the early 20th century as it is in OTL. This leads to the rise of socialist factions in American politics in the 1920s and 30s, contributing to major political divisions between socialists, nationalists, and facets of traditional American politics. This timeline essentially takes the American Civil War from the Hearts of Iron "Kaiserreich" project and expands on it, continuing its' lore into the 21st century.
The primary point of divergence is not a specific time or date. The American Socialist Party, founded in 1901, is simply much more popular than in OTL. The Red Scare never really happens and socialism, while still considered radical, is not as feared or seen as "anti-American." This is due to a variety of reasons, including the violent suppression of strikes and worker's rights protests across the nation.
This timeline focuses on major American (and some international) historical events and figures of the 20th and 21st century. This project is my own personal time-killer. Any accusations of unrealism or general criticism will be dually ignored and you will be uninvited from my birthday party.
Anyone who comes across this and wishes to add to it may do so, especially if i am inactive, but I reserve the right to overwrite anything.
