in 1614, Tommasso Caccini, a priest of Florence, spoke with Galileo Galilee for several hours to discuss the scientist’s theory that the earth circled the sun, and not the other way around.

in 1958, Charles de Gaulle was elected President for life by an unstable and frightened French nation. Revolt in the Algerian colony led the French down the road of dictatorship, which de Gaulle followed with relish. Under his unquestioned reign, he forged closer ties with fellow dictator Franco of Spain, massacred workers and students who protested against his policies, and made France the world’s second-greatest nuclear power. The Second Napoleon, as he was known, was finally halted by death in 1970.

I love the new developments in the SSA timeline. There seem to be some tantalizing hints there, especially the mention of British Columbia as a Soviet. When and how did the SSA conquer/assimilate Canada? Also, are we heading for a Fall of American Communism at some point in the early 2000s?
Keep up the great work, comrade!
