** Somewhat downplayed in Rhodesia's case.

** Even if D. W. Griffith's [[Film/TheBirthOfANation1915 infamous blockbuster]] never comes to be, the Second incarnation of the Ku Klux Klan still arises and gains nationwide prominence but now in response to the desegregation of the US Armed Forces during the Great War, the passing of civil rights legislation in 1925 and the more successful American Communist movement.

** A war still takes place in Palestine by 1948. However, there is a third side, the socialist-led, multiethnic People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which ultimately triumphs over Zionist and Arab nationalist forces, [[MeleeATrois who are themselves preoccupied with each other]]. The resulting socialist Palestinian federation, however, still has a tense relationship with its neighbors who intervened on behalf of the Arab Whites, even if war hasn't broken out between them since.
