For starters....
This is my First AAR....so please be kind.....
I will include lots of pictures to keep people interested
My basis for this AAR is my love for exploring "What ifs" through out history.....
The Question I ask here is "What If Alfred Landon won the 1936 Presidential election?"
***********************
Chapter One: Good Fences make Good Neighbors
***********************
The American Public had not responded well to President Roosevelt's news set of schemes. In January of 1936 Roosevelt announced that the United States Navy would begin a process of modernization.....The first step in this proccess was to begin either by scraping old ships or transfering them to The United States Coast Guard. Roosevelt had not anticipated the public reaction to this measure.... He stopped production on all naval ships currently being built....stating that they were already obsolete. However, with America still being gripped by the great deprestion all this did was eleminate much needed jobs.
Public Opinon of Roosevelt dropped significantly over the next few months, Rosevelt did little to improve his public imaige....instead choosing to rest on his laurels and simply assume that he would win the election, this strategy was the breaking point.....The American people voted him out of office, choosing instead to support Landon, who had used Roosevelts policy of Naval improvment as a basis for future warmongering on the part of the ex-president.
Landon introduced new policy across the board.....He insisted that America's involvent in the first world war had led to the great depression. This allowed him to start cutting trades with europe in favor of countrys "closer to home" Landon also changed the face of the military stating that "The best defense......is a GOOD defense....."
The new president also stated that a focus on econmic reforms, upgrades and expantion would create new jobs for the american people. The last measure that Landon implemented soon after taking office was the policy of "Fencing" In a clear message to the entire world, America began building a serries of costal and land based fortification to prevent any incursion into american territory.
Indeed with a new economic policy America's future looked very bright indeed.....but what of the rest of the world?
The allied powers of Europe had been looking to america for possible support ina war with Germany or Russia....However, that door had now closed the future was not nearly as bright for Europe...
