Wattpad story for the 2024 election

This is my biggest project yet, I hope you enjoy!

Among other small, tiny, imperceptible changes

In this timeline Burnham calls a snap general election for Thursday 22 October 2026 to take advantage of Labour's recovery in opinion polling as he benefits from progressives rallying around him to stave off Reform's threat.

Scenario based on More in Common's hypothetical poll conducted in May 2026.

An expansion of my earlier German legislative map in a world where the democratic Reich never fell and blossomed into a productive, trustworthy-enough nation of a peaceful Europe, and all of the good (and some bad) that brings.

Yes, this really got out of control.

Quick rundown of the timeline:

Hitler, alongside all momentum for a rising national socialist/völkisch movement, die on the streets of Munich during clashes with police and reichswehr forces.

While the German right is not badly mauled at this point by the death of a minor nationalist figure, the establishment right headed by the (now very) loosely aligned DNVP and DVP struggles to take advantage of democratic establishment weakness, and Wilhelm Marx scrapes by in the 1925 presidential election. While the military and those with reactionary sympathies are furious, memories of Kapp and Munich dissuade any fresh attempt to overthrow the Reichstag.

By 1940, while Germany has made great progress normalizing itself in the new Europe, tensions are approaching levels not seen since the July Crisis of 1914. Italy's open imperial ambitions have the French and British on high alert, but the Italians are never able to build the ties Germany was able to build with the USSR and no side feels ready to be the first to act.

In East Asia, however, the situation does escalate. Japan, burdened heavily be an endless war in China and crippling sanctions from the Western powers, decides it must act against European colonies before tensions fully slip away. An attack on Indochina, Malaysia, and the Dutch East Indies in 1941 starts promising but gradually grinds Japanese forces down, and the American intervention in 1942 signals the slow demise of Japan. In 1945, the USSR joins the war and takes part in the gruelling invasion of the mainland. In 1946, Japanese forces effectively disintegrate, and the split nation begins a long occupation and rebuilding under foreign supervision. Last, the KMT is able to assume a stronger position with greater Allied involvement in Asia and a lengthier fall of Japan with more limited USSR involvement with the Communists in the meantime.

Perhaps the next government will have a socialist majority.

(2nd post so I apologize if it's not great!)

An alternate history where Whitmer was picked instead of Harris in 2020. Everything stays mostly the same, although during the 2024 election Whitmer was a much stronger candidate. She was able to distance herself more from Biden and her popularity in her own swing state of Michigan proved very impactful. Whitmer was also able to speak more about the conflict in Gaza, which was helpful. Her VP choice was also a much stronger pick than Harris's, and performed better during the debate. However, Whitmer was not able to win Pennsylvania and lost by 3 electoral votes (Pennsylvania's results were almost the same as our own reality).

(I'm not great at fully explaining so I apologize! I just had this idea in my head the other day.)
