The number one alternate timeline I’d like to see is if Gore had become president in 2000. Even more than if the Nazis had won WWII or if Caesar hadn’t gone to the senate that day.
(I’d also like to see the world if the spanish armada had taken a different course back in 1588 and avoided that typhoon though…)
It’s a very commonly cited example of alternate history. I’m surprised you’ve never heard that before. There’s been multiple books written and there’s a show on Netflix called man in the high castle, all of them exploring this topic.
To answer the question, it would be interesting to see how it played out. How long would they maintain control over the US and Allies? What would resistance look like? How long would hitlers regime have lasted before being deposed? How long before collapsing under its own weight? What would the entire Cold War era have looked like, assuming the soviets lost too, and what would THEIR resistance look like? How would technology have developed without a Cold War driven space race?
Obviously it would’ve been a catastrophe but it’s fascinating concept to speculate about.
Ahh your phrasing made me think you meant you’d want to physically see that world, I was just tired and it was right after your Al Gore what if so I got confused haha

I’d like to see “what if Columbus died and Europeans left the New World alone a while longer.”
Instead of regular old genocide for the natives, it could have been 𝕴𝖓𝖉𝖚𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖎𝖆𝖑 𝖌𝖊𝖓𝖔𝖈𝖎𝖉𝖊.
Why would you want to see a timeline where Nazis won??

My bad
Curiosity? To see what the geopolitical situation would become? Alternate fiction is a genre. I doubt they’re saying they want to live in that world.
