in 1891, the train carrying former President Grover Cleveland and his small company of soldiers pulls into the station at Kansas City, Missouri. The city is in chaos from the political turmoil in neighboring Kansas, and Cleveland's escort is forced to protect him from would-be kidnappers almost immediately. They commandeer another train heading to Topeka and force the engineer to leave the station at gunpoint. “Quite the auspicious beginning to our mission of peace,” Cleveland says to the colonel commanding his escort. That night, they arrive in Topeka, where they are met by what seems to be the entire city, including Jerry 'Sockless' Simpson, leader of the revolt. “Mr. President, welcome to the republic of Kansas,” Simpson says to Cleveland as he disembarks the train. “I trust your stay here will be very rewarding.”

in 1998, the highest council of the Illuminati, the inner circle of Swiss Emperor Pierre Amory du Chaillot, meets in Bern to discuss the unfortunate defection of Merl Myrddin to the British pretender, Arthur Pendrake. “Brother Myrddin knows many of our deepest secrets, but I believe that we can neutralize him,” the emperor tells the assembled illuminated ones. “We have agents in place that are working to bring Arthur down even now.” One of the other councilors speaks up at this, saying, “I have seen this plan. It will take over a year, and come perilously close to the Convergence.” Emperor Pierre tamps down the muttering by saying, “As we all know, the best plans are those given time to come to full fruition. We will move forward with this plan – but, if something better presents itself, we can consider a different route. Our organization is nothing if not flexible.”

H.H. Asquith	In 1908 a mortally ill Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was replaced as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Liberal Party by H. H. Asquith. A strong wartime leader, Asquith was profoundly affected by the death of his eldest son in the trenches, and shortly thereafter organized the armistice that ended the ..

In 1983 Lawrence Stone and Christopher Hill were incredulous at the peer review they had conducted with Hugh Trevor-Roper. Understanding that Deputy Bormann had been loyal to the very end, Bormann was also responsible for the destruction of Hitler's ashes in the Reich Chancellery Gardens following the Fuehrer's death in ..	Martin Bormann
.. Berlin in April 1945. That much they knew already. These diaries evidenced his concealment of Hitler's lycanthropy for over twenty years. Worse yet, he then used his own shape-shifting techniques to flee the burning city by moonlight, avoid detection by incoming Russian soldiers and return to Bavaria. It was simply preposterous!

Harrry Turtledo..	In 1992 Harry Turtledove published his counter-history masterpiece, the Guns of the North. The Union Army is supplied with AK-47's by early-21st century black abolitionist South African time-travellers. In this far-fetched alternative history, the Union wins the war, but loses the peace. As events more forward, Abraham ..
.. Lincoln is assassinated and replaced by Ulysses S Grant who in 1862 had issued General Order No. 11, expelling Jews from Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky. This man of Aryan supremacy misrules America through Reconstruction and the reader is forced to wonder whether the War of the States was all for nothing.

In 1955 Anthony Eden, Conservative Party, became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. His masterful handling of the Suez Crisis stopped the long decline of Great Britain. It was the moment, many said, when the word Great was put back into the name of Britain. As a result the nation continued to play a decisive role in the ..	Anthony Eden
