    What If? Alien Space Bats allow the British and French governments on January 1, 1939 to see the next 7 years if they'll decide to go to war on Poland's behalf

    The situation for isolationists was even less favorable in 1952 than in 1940, and yet Taft almost won. Though I've also heard that Taft made his peace with NATO in his last years. Interesting. A bit like Henry Stimson, then, eh?

    Taft almost beat Ike in the contest for the 1952 GOP nomination, so I disagree that he had Ron Paul-levels of support: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_Republican_National_Convention#The_balloting Taft might have also been helped by being the son of a former US President. Was Dewey an...

    If there is no war in Europe by 1940, then FDR likely does not acquire a third term in office. I've seen Gallup polling that showed that a Republican would win in 1940 if there was no war in Europe.

    What If? Alien Space Bats allow the British and French governments on January 1, 1939 to see the next 7 years if they'll decide to go to war on Poland's behalf

    What if Alien Space Bats (who are visible and detectable to no one else) allow the British and French governments on January 1, 1939 to see everything that will happen in the next 7 years if they'll decide to go to war on Poland's behalf several months later? How exactly would this affect the...
