@@Literallykimiko no it's a reference to call of duty zombies in which one cutscene Jfk calls Richard Nixon "Dick" for short and tells him to sit down because he thought someone was braking in the Pentagon
Yes that was true the first 2 could’ve molded teddy into a great leader instead of the drunk he became living under his brothers shadows.a Kennedy Dynasty we would have seen cause JFK def would have got re-elected 1968 and RFK would have continued it nobody would have beat the kennedys.Sadly though there were those who foresaw what they were about and didn’t like it and where it would take the US in the future basically making the US as the worlds police officer and we all know what that has gotten us into.Damned if we do and damned if we don’t
RFK still faced a very steep uphill battle to the Democratic nomination even before his assassination. He was gaining steam in the primaries, but in 1968 party bosses still largely ran the nominating process and primaries were not nearly as important when it came to selecting a candidate. Humphrey was the overwhelming favorite of the Dem establishment and still probably would have been given the nomination over Kennedy.
That's a better question, but the ways in which things probably would not suck is basically incalculable. Don't worry, though, one day the next leap will be the leap home :)
Severely doubt RFK would come close to winning the elections if nominated by the Democrats. In the original timeline, Vice President Hubert Humphrey was the Democratic nominee that year. Humphrey was Northern Democrat liberal who stood up against Southern Democrats in the convention and for civil rights. This helped his destruction at the electoral college to Richard Nixon who was to the right of Humphrey on the political spectrum. Considering RFK was more liberal that Humphrey, he wouldn't stand a chance against Nixon.
JFK proposed a joint lunar mission between the USA and USSR because he said it should've an event that brought humanity together instead of separated by politics. And Krushchev was actually considering going through with it until JFK's assassination.
Remember, the only reason Jfk died was because he had a back brace on. He had back issues, so he used one. But after the first shot, he wasn't able to duck because the brace disabled him to do this
ok but no offense to jackie but knowing or j even hearing the first shot, i wouldn’t have thought twice of pushing him down to the floor of the car immediately
Annex you don't see people making videos titled "what if George W. Bush was assassinated," so why would they about Kennedy? that doesn't make a bit of sense.
+Keith Austin Catholics follow the religion Christians follow Christ ( hence the name Christian ) God never speaks about religion in the bible Only way back to the father is through the son, Not through religion but religions are smoke screens to the truth I'm not running any religion down I'm only saying we don't need popes or priests we need Christ John 3:3 + :3:7
he says not to worship any other god but himself, but based on my knowledge of Catholicism they worship Mary? i'm a non-denomination Christian, so i'm not really sure
+Turtle I agree I'm a born again Christian and I believe mary was blessed in being his earthly mother but, same time I believe mary would be telling us ( if she could ) pray to The lord and not her , that He is the savior and He was her savior also. I think because Catholics think in their minds that Jesus will listen to his earthly mother in answering prayers and that He will take them to the father but theirs 1 mediator and that's Him
MARIO JOHNSTON They follow the teachings of Jesus and the Bible, therefore they are chrustians. They can worship Mary too but that doesn't make them not Christians. Quakers and Baptists are different denominations but they're still Christians. It's the same with Catholics.
+macbomb lol this is an ignorant reply. The federal reserve was just as relevant during 1963 as he had given a speech to the IMF and World Bank, international central bank conference, just 55 days before he was shot. Which many believe his firm stance on the fixing the trade balance to keep the dollar fixed around 35$/ounce of gold. He had just witnessed 20 years prior the day the loss of value of the dollar, for the sake of other countries. He believed the US should maintain 40% of the global gold reserves, what do you think the international central banks thought about that? It would have limited their power and authority in the global community.
You also forgot to mention how JFK wanted America and Russia to join together for a better space program and a joint mission to the moon so I can say without a doubt (and I'm sure everyone will agree) that the space program would've been ten times better then what it was if JFK was never killed
The Soviets rejected the first offer, JFK proposed it again 1963 the Soviets had not responded by the time of his murder. Soviet Premier Khrushchev wrote in his memoirs that he was planning to accept the offer, but it ended with JFK's death . Khrushchev was pushed out the following year. He was thought by the fellow apparatchik to be weak leader with some kind of man crush on JFK.
It’s fascinating, Martin Scorsese said that the 60s that’s reflected upon in America really started after JFK’s death - when the sex, drugs and rock’n’roll kicked in. Before this the early 60s resembled the 50s greatly, and the assassination was a kind of wake-up call. Fascinating. Great video as always.
Nah plenty of bad things happened to the Kennedy’s even before JFK’s assassination. His older brother was killed in war and so was one of his sisters. His other sister was already in a mental institution etc
+Stelum 1000 true true, but right its more like this: EU goverment is influenced by Usa, so their thinking is same. But most of eastern and some of central europe citizens want russia. Im now waiting for US army intervention into europe to help us against islamic rebelions. But many of post-soviet nations are still pro-russian.
I have to disagree. You need only look at the Cuban Missile Crisis to get an idea of the animosity between the US and Communist countries. At the time they would so totally not possibly work together on anything.
That is because you assume progressive data set which would otherwise be impractical or insignificant, like what if 'cuz peaceful resolution, it become violent civil war like situation, or no Apollo missions, or cold war become hot.
Idk about that... this actually seems a bit worse... granted the Vietnam War would have been a good thing to not be involved in for us, but then we wouldnt have learned our lesson to not be so gung-ho about getting 'boots on the ground'.. thus would have likely made one of the later wars we had a hand in to be far more bloody and involved than should have been.. Plus desegregation and such would have come much later and thus likely would have be bad news for both minorities and women... There's a fair amount of things that likely would have made a better world than we are now... but its probably an even spread.
I dont understand what you're saying.... We are unfortunately involved in Iraq.... but we dont go full in on the Middle East due to the lessons learned from the Vietnam war...
+Ethan Rosenberger I like your idea but i feel like it would be better if it was, what if The United States annexed Mexico, since there is a considerably large amount of drug problems there
Future jfk goes back in time to assassinate past jfk is possible because he didn't die the first time around... We are living the alternate timeline where jfk assassinated himself 0_0
I would like to propose that relations between the US and Russia would have been alot better because JFK proposed that Russia and the US should go to the moon together and although the leader of the USSR deposed this his son came out and told everyone after JFKs assassination that he was having second thoughts. he also said his father did not trust Lindon Johnston and was not going to do something as amazing as a Soviet and US joined landing on the moon with him in power. Just think of the impact that would have had if the astronauts and cosmonots stood on the moon together.
liz gaughan Kruschev had a stronger personality than Kennedy and had his own agenda of control over the Soviet block. Further, in the first instance, Russia seems to have captured better German scientists, to lead in the space race. Cooperation would have been likely with Gorbachev, but then we had Reagan. Believe this scenario would require two political moderates. Albeit, Russia does take astronauts from manned launch incapable countries to the international space station.
Yep. The space shuttle would have been retired in '70s. The JFK memorial moon program was a colossal joke. The dude was a drunken speed freak pervert. But the bottom line is a politically active Irishman got shot by a WASP in the 60s.
Ea rly there were outlines to do the moon by 70 Mars by 80 Jupiter moons by 90 and moving out by the 2000s.Now a lot of that would be pushed later but I can see it getting done if no Vietnam war and a joint US Russia space missions happened as were both were hung ho on it.We would be probably see a mars population and even a Jupiter or 1 moon with Space station starting it would be an exciting future
I have recently become really addicted to your videos. I love history and studied it a college and love the idea of alternate history. keep up the good work
I read the book (it’s also a Hulu Series) 11/22/63 where a guy tries to stop the assassination of JFK. There are some pretty crazy claims in the book and I highly recommend watching/reading it
If JFK survived the assassination attempt,in the congress, after a speech "Man want me dead because i'm believing in humanity" the civil right act would pass.
+EHW2 that is not the quote, but the intent of the conversation. many bring this up, but i refer to the actual recorded conversation with DICK RUSSELL of GEORGIA, why he said it, to whom he said it, and what he was trying to convey when he said what he said. he was talking to a man who was against the civil rights bill. to talk him into getting behind the bill, and having RUSSELL make calls and get men to change their minds, he "colored" his speech a little and was attempting to get RUSSELL to look at a few benefits that would come from passage. it was an attempt to win RUSSELL over. so please get the true meaning of what he said, before you tarnish a man, who already has enough blood on his hands. the sad thing is, because of VIETNAM, he will never be considered great, when all of his accomplishments as president on the domestic front, would put him in the top 10, easily.
***** let his legislative accomplishments for people of color and the poor, be the final judgment on his true record. as i said before, because he did not fight for these things when he was in congress, and for what reasons only he knew at the time, he did so when he had the real power of the office of the presidency. so you take it as you want to. compared to NIXON, LBJ was the GANDHI of the US.
+Entropic Dissonance Not wrong but its a bit more nuanced than that. It does make it more difficult to climb out of poverty because once you start gaining a _little_ wealth, or someone in the immediate family gets a college degree, they pull the entire rug from under you and the little wealth plus you built PLUS the safety net gets ripped away, not just for you but for _the entire family._ Understandably, that _does_ decimate the family. Though, I don't think the idea of helping poor people should be abolished or that the govt should not intervene but the welfare system needs to be retooled to assist people with upward mobility and not creating a dependency for poor people to _merely_ survive.
The CIA was running covert ops in Cambodia, Loas, and yes, Vietnam, during JFKs presidency. LBJ simply escalated these actions sharply, he didn’t start it from scratch.
+SlimThug007 Japan would capitulate in October-december 1945 because of inciendary bombings
9 років тому
***** Japan was destroyed by incendiary bombing. Incendiary bombing can cause fire storms like nukes , if you want , see "what if nukes never existed'' from this channel
What if Constantinople never fell to the Ottomans/Turks? What if the Tokugawa Shogunate won the civil war? What if France won the French and Indian War?
+Connor Dunn I will give you a quick answer to those questions Constantinople was domed to fall in the 1400s the empire couldn't come back. The ottomans simply had the power and desire to make it their capital simply cause they wear an rising empire. Better question what if the razed Constantinople or what if the 4th crusade never happened. Tokugawa Bakfu victory was possible however the result would be very similar a reformed modernized japan where a new westernized government took over and used the emperor to ban the way for a nationalistic japan. And the last one France lost the 7 year war no matter what happened on the American frontier Britain would have won. Ps the French could only hope to defend and not to invade the 13 colonies.
I believe LBJ was one of the best politicians and presidents of all time and this video explains why. Kennedy never would have succeeded in getting those bills through (and we know this because he had three years to do it and didn't). Johnson related to Southern Senators, used Kennedy's martyrdom, and built congressional coalitions that passed laws that to this day affect our society. I think Johnson should be the more celebrated of the two, but unfortunately we have a bad habit of lionizing people who were sadly murdered, at the cost of treating those that survived and did good things as well with either no reverence or unwarranted disdain. If Kennedy lived and served two terms, he'd be treated just as badly as Johnson, Ted Kennedy, and every other person who was given the gift of years.
@@cardboardheadguy7814 God? Dude god could've prevented the assassination by using his holy powers, the bible told us God was able to lift the sea for moses, and that same god wasn't able to stop the assassination: he could have jammed Oswald's rifle, he could've made the motorcade move faster so that the bullets miss, anything.
+111q222p333m444z One of the main reasons for the US going to the moon was because Kennedy died and they did it in his memory, If he didn't die NASA probably wouldn't have got as much funding as Kennedy would have to push it through congress and the soviets may have won the space race
+Will Snow another possibility is that they still would have received the funding to defeat the soviets but JFK would have never cut NASA's funding in 1967. If the program continued as planed and the last Apollo mission would be Apollo 47 making a resupply trip to Skylab 3, america's third space station around earth.
If Deez Nuts won the election, it would be a very scary time. Thousands of Harambe supporters and Pepe the Frog supporters would all protest at the same time on the night of the election, then get into a riot as both sides brawled on the streets. During the commotion, The Triggered Umbrella Membership of Bitches, Liberals, and Retards (T.U.M.B.L.R.) would dissolve, glad that Pepe did not win the election. Within months, President Nuts would get into conflict with Russian President Cyka Blyat over the Syrian civil war, as Allahu Akbars would wreak havok globally. As the presidency of Nuts continued on, more memes would rise and create opposition to the administration, which relies on outdated policies similar to that of the long-dead President Hampton T. Hamster. At the same time, a revolution occurs in Russia, and President Cyka Blyat is assassinated after he failed to buy a P90 and Rush B. He is replaced by Cheeki Breeki, who crushes the rebellion with his sick hardbass beats. At the same time, a second refugee crisis sparks in Uganda, suffering from the worst famine seen in history because Big Smoke ate all their Number 9 reserves. Europe is flooded with Ugandan refugees who don't know the wae. This builds up massive tension with right-wing nationalism, which boils over after a European Uber driver shrieks at a Ugandan refugee woman to get out of his car. This alarming rise in European right-wing nationalism also gives rise to the Pepe supporters in America. After a statue of a Confederate war hero was proposed to be taken down, Pepe supporters would flood the streets, causing the T.U.M.B.L.R. to reform, uniting with Antifa. Unlike in our timeline, this would escalate into a bloody battle after Antifa began using Falcon Pawnches to counter the Pepe supporters, who retaliate by opening fire with their MAK1647 Americoviet assault guns. This causes the government to ban assault everything, sparking widespread criticism. Across the sea, Russian President Breeki has made his hatred of America and President Nuts very clear. Using a recent Allahu Akbar attack on a Soviet base as an excuse, Breeki uses his hardbass to nuke the fuck out of the United States until all that remains are dead memes, something the nation's top Rick and Morty fans warned us about for years. Nuts responds by sending Big Smoke to eat all of the nukes. However, this fails when the Ugandan refugees find da wae and kill Big Smoke. Nuts, in a last ditch effort to go out with a bang, prepares a Who Would Win, but is too late. The hardbass reaches the US, and we all die as dope Russian beats rain down and destroy our eardrums. They say that afterwards, Breeki switches the record to an earrape of the USSR anthem, causing the entire universe to explode from the overmassive bass in it.
You can't win the election. Nobody can. They are all rigged!!! I take it that you've never watched HBO's Hacking Democracy or that video on UA-cam of that programmer who testified in Ohio's court room. Of course, I've been researching for 13 years. I also figured out who took over The United States of America.
@David Custer There is no guarantee that we would have lost. It was John F. Kennedy that wanted to put a man on the moon, not Lyndon B Johnson. Chances are, we would have still won. Btw, you sound like an asshole! "Thank god this man was killed". It's a horrible thing to say about such a great man and leader! JFK did not deserve to get shot at all. You are one fucked up person if you think it was okay to for someone to shoot a man like JFK who never even did a single thing to them personally! You are one sick, disgusting piece of crap.
Instead of *"Houston, we have a problem"* it would probably be *"Langley, we have a problem"* because LBJ pushed for the nascent space program to be based in his home state of Texas even though Langley did most of the rocket testing on Wallops Island in Virginia during the 50s and early 60s.
First of all, Kennedy planned on removing Johnson from the 1964 ticket, so it's likely that Johnson would not have run in 1968. It is likely that had Kennedy lived and served a full 8 years, that Bobby Kennedy would have run against Nixon in 1968. Depending on how much JFK has upset the southern apple cart with his anti-segregationist policies would have determined whether or not RFK could have carried the south as he was much farther to the left than was JFK.
eV01ve Actually you are incorrect, even if the attempt happened with gunshots, it’d not be recorded as Russians because the investigation would have led to the same person. The explosion is a way very different attempt at killing JFK. They had already got Vanya, so they thought she was Russian because she spoke Russian too. Judging by that, they would make the assumption without any regard. With them not knowing Vanya isn’t a Russian, it’d just be that, but because gunshots are different from explosions and they’d already been investigating Vanya, they would investigate the gunshot, find the same person guilty, and no nuclear apocalypse.
I had a neighbor when I was 20 who was in her late 60s. This was a while back. I asked her if she remembered when JFK was shot and she told me of that day. She was in her first year of college and had been in lecture when another student came running into the auditorium yelling "the President has been shot and killed!" - everybody left. She said she ran out of the auditorium and to her boyfriend at the time. They both hugged and she asked him, "what do we do now?". That has always stuck with me, it's so haunting.
LBJ = Lebron James = Lyndon B Johnson. Therefore, Lebron James did not win a championship ring, because Johnson didn't play basketball. Also, there is finally a good white basketball player, and a good black politician.
Here's something worth mentioning: The USA and the USSR had planned a joint mission to the moon, the only reason it didn't happen was because Kennedy died before the mission happened and the USSR didn't trust Johnson. So I think that the Cold War would've ended much quicker.
+GlitchyShadow13 The idea was never really taken seriously by either the Soviet foreign administration or Congress. And even if we did manage to man a joint mission to the moon, that wouldn't remedy the deep political differences and scare mongering on both sides. The only way for the Cold War to end is for one side to collapse, and in almost all scenarios, that's the Soviet Union. That's just my two cents.
+Tassima true but that doesn't mean he hated the Russians just cause you don't like something doesn't mean you hate the person that likes it, take me for example I extremely hate religion (hell if I could wipe religion out completely I would) but I don't hate religious people and JFK was the same way towards the Russians, he hated communism but he didn't hate the Russians (unlike most presidents I could name)
+AlternateHistoryHub I am a huge fan of the both of you. It's hard to keep up sometimes with all the possibilities, especially considering that some scientists say they could be real, given parallel universes.
It bothers me that whenever people talk about Kennedy they never talk about executive order 11110 which was by far one of if not the most important thing he did during his presidency
Hey, trust me on this. If you go to a diner and happen to go to the restroom and you end up back in 1958......PLEASE don't try and save Kennedy. It will end badly for us all. ಠ_ಠ
Wow. I never realized how great John F. Kennedy was. Same thing with Lindon B. Johnson. It was enlightening to learn how great of a person he actually was, and how smart all of the things he put into place were. It's a shame that he had to die.
emmett Lyndon B. Johnson was AWFUL! Comparing him to JFK IS A BIG INSULT!! John F. Kennedy was a great man and leader. Lyndon was not. It was John F. Kennedy who pushed for the Civil Rights Act and everything he stood for. Johnson WAITED till JFK's assassination to rob him of his credit! LBJ was a racist who was all for Segregation and dragged us further into Vietnam. It was JFK who wanted to put a man on the moon, not Lyndon! John F. Kennedy was a great man and leader. JFK was everything Lyndon B. Johnson was not. Lyndon ever only did ONE REAL GOOD THING under his belt, and that was to establish the Public Broadcasting Act which created PBS! That was it. John F. Kennedy didn't deserve to die so young, at 46 years old! He did NOT. And oh, screw LBJ!
+Eduardo Martinez I don't know about Bush, but if Obama wasn't elected, America probably would've been better off, next up: Should Trump be president? Answer: *NO!!!* Why would you want an egotistic billionaire as president? You would want a visionary billionaire as president! Example: Elon Musk.
+Eduardo Martinez If neither were elected, America would probably be better. Knowing out string of bad elections, the next president will be Trump. He'll probably serve 2 terms too since we seem to elect crap presidents twice.
Very good video. You avoided too many people's dream of what JFK would have done and presented a more realistic scenario than most people who examine this idea. Again good job!
The Germans would win, there was a PB&J shortage on the western front in 1944. Allies knew that the Germans had Sandwiches, so they quickly pushed at captured many German towns. With no PB&J, the Germans would've won since the Allies would've had a different meal and would fight with no purpose except to kill the Germans. Although, PB&J dated back before the Roman Empire. Historians believed that the Sandwich made the Roman Empire grew. If the Romans never created it, the Pics would've probably won the war and European would've been different. Catholicism wouldn't exist, the World Wars never happened, and so many others.
That’s a crazy fact JFK was more famous and known dead than when he was alive. The fact that Johnson was more on top of his game and had more influence than JFK himself it’s because he had been in politics and developed influence like JFK could not even dreamed of. I also heard that in reality Kennedy did not really care too much about the Civil Rights Movement. Although JFK was a good president and a president of the people I guess him surviving living would not have been any better as we see these true facts.
my understanding is that a Apollo wouldn't have happened. As with the Civil Rights Act, it was partly done as a "to JFK's memory". Johnson may have seen it thru but no one remembers either making a speech about it
It is something incredibly hard to guess. JFK's accomplishments are clear: He skillfully steered the country through the Cuban Missile Crisis and avoided nuclear war. He spoke eloquently about Civil Rights, and I believe in his second term LBJ would have helped him pass Civil Rights laws. He also grew in office. Causes greater than ourselves like the Moon , the Peace Corps were aspirations that were possible. The US was admired around the world. I think we would have kept special ops, and spent billions to prop up a US support government in Vietnam, but I think, he would have negotiated a deal with Ho Chi Minh, who earlier had wanted to. However, JFK had affairs that made Bill Clinton look like an altar boy. If J. Edgar Hoover had blown JFK's cover, and it became public, I think JFK would have had to resign. When it came to affairs...the Kennedy men were deer in heat running across Interstate highways...reckless and one-track minded.
My view is that he is viewed as too soft (as for the europeans, they end up calling him "Blood and Gore") but narrowly wins re-election in 2004 against John McCain. Mitt Romney ends up becoming 44th president after a huge win in the electoral college in 2008 (350+ EV). Kanye West ends up becoming the Donald Trump of the 2016 election, and Sarah Palin the Hillary Clinton of the 2016 election, although Kayne runs as a dem and palin as a republican. Right now there are protests by the WWC and whites in the south shouting "I'm with Palin!" "Not my president!" "West is not fit for office!"
You mean, what if a actual recount took place in Florida, and showed that Gore won the state by nearly 5,000 votes opposed to cancelling a recount due to lack of time for the electoral college to meet?
Part of the reason this event was so horrible is that we never got a chance to see if he was a great president. He had enormous potential but it was unrealized.
The amount of speculation that has to go into this thought experiment alone is incredible. I think it would've been interesting to see JFK survive and win a 2nd term as well, I don't know if it would've made a massive difference today, especially considering Vietnam would be likely to happen either way. It might have ended earlier, but I still think the effects of the war on the American public would have stayed the same. As for Civil Rights, this is what I am most torn on, seeing JFK as a more modern left-leaning president(I may be somewhat naive here, but this is what I see), I think Civil Rights probably would've been resolved around the same time if not earlier if he stayed president, but it's still likely MLK would have been assassinated and tensions would still exist years afterwards like it did in our timeline. It's tough to say that JFK would've been a "great" president, as like stated in the video, he was almost more of a figurehead and a symbol for hope and the American way/dream. I don't feel as though a 2-term JFK presidency would have changed much in terms of significance in recent American history, obviously some things would be different, and certain aspects of our culture and politics would be changed for the better or worse, but I don't think life would've/would be much different today if JFK survived. That being said, he was a cool dude, and he definitely didn't deserve what happened to him.
Kennedy told his close advisors that he wanted to pull the 15,000 troops we had in Vietnam out after his re-election in 1968. Everything would have been better. Vietnam had no intention of taking over Laos or Cambodia.
Both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights act would have passed in 1965 after JFK would have beaten Goldwater by the same margin that LBJ beat him and the huge Democratic majorites in both Houses would have overcome Southern opposition.
If he survived he would have fought zombies in the Pentagon.

RFK still faced a very steep uphill battle to the Democratic nomination even before his assassination. He was gaining steam in the primaries, but in 1968 party bosses still largely ran the nominating process and primaries were not nearly as important when it came to selecting a candidate. Humphrey was the overwhelming favorite of the Dem establishment and still probably would have been given the nomination over Kennedy.

In the original timeline, Vice President Hubert Humphrey was the Democratic nominee that year. Humphrey was Northern Democrat liberal who stood up against Southern Democrats in the convention and for civil rights.
This helped his destruction at the electoral college to Richard Nixon who was to the right of Humphrey on the political spectrum.
Considering RFK was more liberal that Humphrey, he wouldn't stand a chance against Nixon.

no one talks about how he stopped a nuclear war from happening and how he was the first and only catholic president in u.s.
The catholic thing doesn't really matter. Catholics are just another type of Christian and most of the presidents have been Christian
+Keith Austin Catholics follow the religion
Christians follow Christ
( hence the name Christian )
God never speaks about religion in the bible
Only way back to the father is through the son,
Not through religion but religions are smoke screens to the truth
I'm not running any religion down I'm only saying we don't need popes or priests we need Christ
John 3:3 + :3:7
he says not to worship any other god but himself, but based on my knowledge of Catholicism they worship Mary? i'm a non-denomination Christian, so i'm not really sure
+Turtle I agree
I'm a born again Christian and I believe mary was blessed in being his earthly mother but, same time I believe mary would be telling us ( if she could ) pray to The lord and not her , that He is the savior and He was her savior also.
I think because Catholics think in their minds that Jesus will listen to his earthly mother in answering prayers and that He will take them to the father but theirs 1 mediator and that's Him
MARIO JOHNSTON They follow the teachings of Jesus and the Bible, therefore they are chrustians. They can worship Mary too but that doesn't make them not Christians. Quakers and Baptists are different denominations but they're still Christians. It's the same with Catholics.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. HOW COULD YOU NOT TALK ABOUT THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LBJ and JFK were not in Office in 1914.....
+macbomb Kennedy was going to dismantle the Federal Reserve
+macbomb lol this is an ignorant reply. The federal reserve was just as relevant during 1963 as he had given a speech to the IMF and World Bank, international central bank conference, just 55 days before he was shot.
Which many believe his firm stance on the fixing the trade balance to keep the dollar fixed around 35$/ounce of gold.
He had just witnessed 20 years prior the day the loss of value of the dollar, for the sake of other countries. He believed the US should maintain 40% of the global gold reserves, what do you think the international central banks thought about that?
It would have limited their power and authority in the global community.
yeah we were going to get new currency
There is now a cure, Stan, for people like you who suffer from "rectal-cranial inversion"
You also forgot to mention how JFK wanted America and Russia to join together for a better space program and a joint mission to the moon so I can say without a doubt (and I'm sure everyone will agree) that the space program would've been ten times better then what it was if JFK was never killed
The Soviets rejected the first offer, JFK proposed it again 1963 the Soviets had not responded by the time of his murder. Soviet Premier Khrushchev wrote in his memoirs that he was planning to accept the offer, but it ended with JFK's death . Khrushchev was pushed out the following year. He was thought by the fellow apparatchik to be weak leader with some kind of man crush on JFK.
+TrueNovice so you never know maybe if JFK was never killed maybe America and Russia would have a base on the moon
He also wanted the us to print its own money instead of the banks so there would be less corruption
+SolarPenguin and people wonder why he's my favorite president
So JFK was killed because everyone knew it was impossible to land a man upon the moon and return him safely to the earth, like he said,
If JFK wasn’t assassinated he would have died of a heart attack on August 7th 2001

That is because you assume progressive data set which would otherwise be impractical or insignificant, like what if 'cuz peaceful resolution, it become violent civil war like situation, or no Apollo missions, or cold war become hot.
Idk about that... this actually seems a bit worse... granted the Vietnam War would have been a good thing to not be involved in for us, but then we wouldnt have learned our lesson to not be so gung-ho about getting 'boots on the ground'.. thus would have likely made one of the later wars we had a hand in to be far more bloody and involved than should have been..
Plus desegregation and such would have come much later and thus likely would have be bad news for both minorities and women...
There's a fair amount of things that likely would have made a better world than we are now... but its probably an even spread.
Erudite cause we learned a lot from that right? Thanks for the Vietnam war otherwise we could've been involved in iraq

I would like to propose that relations between the US and Russia would have been alot better because JFK proposed that Russia and the US should go to the moon together and although the leader of the USSR deposed this his son came out and told everyone after JFKs assassination that he was having second thoughts. he also said his father did not trust Lindon Johnston and was not going to do something as amazing as a Soviet and US joined landing on the moon with him in power. Just think of the impact that would have had if the astronauts and cosmonots stood on the moon together.
liz gaughan Kruschev had a stronger personality than Kennedy and had his own agenda of control over the Soviet block. Further, in the first instance, Russia seems to have captured better German scientists, to lead in the space race.
Cooperation would have been likely with Gorbachev, but then we had Reagan. Believe this scenario would require two political moderates. Albeit, Russia does take astronauts from manned launch incapable countries to the international space station.

_"If you get in the way, I'm going to run you down"_ - LBJ favorite prez ever
+EHW2 that is not the quote, but the intent of the conversation. many bring this up, but i refer to the actual recorded conversation with DICK RUSSELL of GEORGIA, why he said it, to whom he said it, and what he was trying to convey when he said what he said. he was talking to a man who was against the civil rights bill. to talk him into getting behind the bill, and having RUSSELL make calls and get men to change their minds, he "colored" his speech a little and was attempting to get RUSSELL to look at a few benefits that would come from passage. it was an attempt to win RUSSELL over. so please get the true meaning of what he said, before you tarnish a man, who already has enough blood on his hands. the sad thing is, because of VIETNAM, he will never be considered great, when all of his accomplishments as president on the domestic front, would put him in the top 10, easily.
bduhe219 Thank you
***** let his legislative accomplishments for people of color and the poor, be the final judgment on his true record. as i said before, because he did not fight for these things when he was in congress, and for what reasons only he knew at the time, he did so when he had the real power of the office of the presidency. so you take it as you want to. compared to NIXON, LBJ was the GANDHI of the US.
+Entropic Dissonance Not wrong but its a bit more nuanced than that. It does make it more difficult to climb out of poverty because once you start gaining a _little_ wealth, or someone in the immediate family gets a college degree, they pull the entire rug from under you and the little wealth plus you built PLUS the safety net gets ripped away, not just for you but for _the entire family._ Understandably, that _does_ decimate the family. Though, I don't think the idea of helping poor people should be abolished or that the govt should not intervene but the welfare system needs to be retooled to assist people with upward mobility and not creating a dependency for poor people to _merely_ survive.

Jif he would have still done Popeye and Mork and Mindy, so his career might have still happened.
Don't forget that he got the movies that he did because he was a tremendous stand up comic.
The CIA was running covert ops in Cambodia, Loas, and yes, Vietnam, during JFKs presidency. LBJ simply escalated these actions sharply, he didn’t start it from scratch.
THAT is simply NOT true Jerry. Robin Williams's Mork character would STILL be HUGE.

Kkostas Anagno Yes but this is alternate history. So hypothetically speaking‚ what if the Turks couldn't capture Constantinople.
+Connor Dunn I will give you a quick answer to those questions Constantinople was domed to fall in the 1400s the empire couldn't come back. The ottomans simply had the power and desire to make it their capital simply cause they wear an rising empire. Better question what if the razed Constantinople or what if the 4th crusade never happened.
Tokugawa Bakfu victory was possible however the result would be very similar a reformed modernized japan where a new westernized government took over and used the emperor to ban the way for a nationalistic japan.
And the last one France lost the 7 year war no matter what happened on the American frontier Britain would have won. Ps the French could only hope to defend and not to invade the 13 colonies.
I believe LBJ was one of the best politicians and presidents of all time and this video explains why. Kennedy never would have succeeded in getting those bills through (and we know this because he had three years to do it and didn't). Johnson related to Southern Senators, used Kennedy's martyrdom, and built congressional coalitions that passed laws that to this day affect our society. I think Johnson should be the more celebrated of the two, but unfortunately we have a bad habit of lionizing people who were sadly murdered, at the cost of treating those that survived and did good things as well with either no reverence or unwarranted disdain.
If Kennedy lived and served two terms, he'd be treated just as badly as Johnson, Ted Kennedy, and every other person who was given the gift of years.

+Will Snow another possibility is that they still would have received the funding to defeat the soviets but JFK would have never cut NASA's funding in 1967. If the program continued as planed and the last Apollo mission would be Apollo 47 making a resupply trip to Skylab 3, america's third space station around earth.

What if 'Deez nuts' won the 2016 election
J.O.Y. he couldn't because of age
I know it wasn't suppose to be serious
If Deez Nuts won the election, it would be a very scary time. Thousands of Harambe supporters and Pepe the Frog supporters would all protest at the same time on the night of the election, then get into a riot as both sides brawled on the streets. During the commotion, The Triggered Umbrella Membership of Bitches, Liberals, and Retards (T.U.M.B.L.R.) would dissolve, glad that Pepe did not win the election.
Within months, President Nuts would get into conflict with Russian President Cyka Blyat over the Syrian civil war, as Allahu Akbars would wreak havok globally. As the presidency of Nuts continued on, more memes would rise and create opposition to the administration, which relies on outdated policies similar to that of the long-dead President Hampton T. Hamster. At the same time, a revolution occurs in Russia, and President Cyka Blyat is assassinated after he failed to buy a P90 and Rush B. He is replaced by Cheeki Breeki, who crushes the rebellion with his sick hardbass beats. At the same time, a second refugee crisis sparks in Uganda, suffering from the worst famine seen in history because Big Smoke ate all their Number 9 reserves. Europe is flooded with Ugandan refugees who don't know the wae. This builds up massive tension with right-wing nationalism, which boils over after a European Uber driver shrieks at a Ugandan refugee woman to get out of his car.
This alarming rise in European right-wing nationalism also gives rise to the Pepe supporters in America. After a statue of a Confederate war hero was proposed to be taken down, Pepe supporters would flood the streets, causing the T.U.M.B.L.R. to reform, uniting with Antifa. Unlike in our timeline, this would escalate into a bloody battle after Antifa began using Falcon Pawnches to counter the Pepe supporters, who retaliate by opening fire with their MAK1647 Americoviet assault guns. This causes the government to ban assault everything, sparking widespread criticism.
Across the sea, Russian President Breeki has made his hatred of America and President Nuts very clear. Using a recent Allahu Akbar attack on a Soviet base as an excuse, Breeki uses his hardbass to nuke the fuck out of the United States until all that remains are dead memes, something the nation's top Rick and Morty fans warned us about for years. Nuts responds by sending Big Smoke to eat all of the nukes. However, this fails when the Ugandan refugees find da wae and kill Big Smoke. Nuts, in a last ditch effort to go out with a bang, prepares a Who Would Win, but is too late. The hardbass reaches the US, and we all die as dope Russian beats rain down and destroy our eardrums. They say that afterwards, Breeki switches the record to an earrape of the USSR anthem, causing the entire universe to explode from the overmassive bass in it.
You can't win the election. Nobody can. They are all rigged!!!

First of all, Kennedy planned on removing Johnson from the 1964 ticket, so it's likely that Johnson would not have run in 1968. It is likely that had Kennedy lived and served a full 8 years, that Bobby Kennedy would have run against Nixon in 1968. Depending on how much JFK has upset the southern apple cart with his anti-segregationist policies would have determined whether or not RFK could have carried the south as he was much farther to the left than was JFK.
Doubtful considering the u.s would already had 8 years of a Kennedy in office
according to umbrella academy: JFK blames the assasination attempt on Russia, WW3 commences, and ends in nuclear appocalypse.
give this man a medal
actually that’s wrong, it’s the explosion that he blamed on the Russians.
the explosion is the assasination attempt dummy
eV01ve Actually you are incorrect, even if the attempt happened with gunshots, it’d not be recorded as Russians because the investigation would have led to the same person. The explosion is a way very different attempt at killing JFK. They had already got Vanya, so they thought she was Russian because she spoke Russian too. Judging by that, they would make the assumption without any regard. With them not knowing Vanya isn’t a Russian, it’d just be that, but because gunshots are different from explosions and they’d already been investigating Vanya, they would investigate the gunshot, find the same person guilty, and no nuclear apocalypse.

Here's something worth mentioning:
The USA and the USSR had planned a joint mission to the moon, the only reason it didn't happen was because Kennedy died before the mission happened and the USSR didn't trust Johnson. So I think that the Cold War would've ended much quicker.
+GlitchyShadow13 The idea was never really taken seriously by either the Soviet foreign administration or Congress. And even if we did manage to man a joint mission to the moon, that wouldn't remedy the deep political differences and scare mongering on both sides. The only way for the Cold War to end is for one side to collapse, and in almost all scenarios, that's the Soviet Union. That's just my two cents.

+CalvinCoolidge1924 I am fine and hope you too :). I have new videos in my channel :)
You now gotta do "What if RFK Was Never Assassinated?"
I cried looking at a picture of Jackie holding John's head in her lap. She was crying.
It bothers me that whenever people talk about Kennedy they never talk about executive order 11110 which was by far one of if not the most important thing he did during his presidency
Hey, trust me on this. If you go to a diner and happen to go to the restroom and you end up back in 1958......PLEASE don't try and save Kennedy. It will end badly for us all. ಠ_ಠ
lol
+Certain i will do it anyway and see my self
JFK was my grandma's cousin OF COURSE I WOULD STOP IT

What if JFK Was Ever Assassinated

Phaazathon ya

+ali codo how
ali codo your drink beer he was good
Wow. I never realized how great John F. Kennedy was. Same thing with Lindon B. Johnson. It was enlightening to learn how great of a person he actually was, and how smart all of the things he put into place were. It's a shame that he had to die.
Johnson has half awful. He was a bully who turned Vietnam into a clusterfuck
emmett
Lyndon B. Johnson was AWFUL! Comparing him to JFK IS A BIG INSULT!! John F. Kennedy was a great man and leader. Lyndon was not. It was John F. Kennedy who pushed for the Civil Rights Act and everything he stood for. Johnson WAITED till JFK's assassination to rob him of his credit! LBJ was a racist who was all for Segregation and dragged us further into Vietnam. It was JFK who wanted to put a man on the moon, not Lyndon!
John F. Kennedy was a great man and leader. JFK was everything Lyndon B. Johnson was not. Lyndon ever only did ONE REAL GOOD THING under his belt, and that was to establish the Public Broadcasting Act which created PBS! That was it. John F. Kennedy didn't deserve to die so young, at 46 years old! He did NOT. And oh, screw LBJ!
@@thesladesterb3vt3co7h you remind me of that guy that says he's autistic as shit

What if Bush wasn't elected?
What if Obama wasn't elected?
+Eduardo Martinez I don't know about Bush, but if Obama wasn't elected, America probably would've been better off, next up: Should Trump be president? Answer: *NO!!!* Why would you want an egotistic billionaire as president? You would want a visionary billionaire as president! Example: Elon Musk.
If bush wasn't elected, 9/11 wouldn't have have happened.
+Eduardo Martinez Bush wasn't elected the people voted for AL
+Beastg 78 not true they tried It in 1992
+Eduardo Martinez If neither were elected, America would probably be better. Knowing out string of bad elections, the next president will be Trump. He'll probably serve 2 terms too since we seem to elect crap presidents twice.
I subscribed only after seeing your channel name. I love the concept of alternate timelines!
Very good video. You avoided too many people's dream of what JFK would have done and presented a more realistic scenario than most people who examine this idea. Again good job!
What if no one ever made a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich?
The world would quickly fall into chaos due to the lack of something easy to make when you're hungry.
+Alan Cotter world would be over
+Alan Cotter Well, we'd still have the Elvis.
Then the filthy commies would win
The Germans would win, there was a PB&J shortage on the western front in 1944. Allies knew that the Germans had Sandwiches, so they quickly pushed at captured many German towns. With no PB&J, the Germans would've won since the Allies would've had a different meal and would fight with no purpose except to kill the Germans. Although, PB&J dated back before the Roman Empire. Historians believed that the Sandwich made the Roman Empire grew. If the Romans never created it, the Pics would've probably won the war and European would've been different. Catholicism wouldn't exist, the World Wars never happened, and so many others.
If you want an interesting take on this JFK question, watch the BBC comedy series Red Dwarf episode "Tikka to Ride".
I was thinking about that right before I clicked on this video. I need to watch that episode again.
i knew this comment was gonna be here somewhere little did i know it would be one of the first i would find
yes yes yes the flat pack (IKEA) time machine error...LOL
I once read about close JFK and Lincoln were in their thought process, and its incredibly scary just how close they were in mindsets.
Putting an ad for top 10 assassins in a video about JFK. lol
That’s a crazy fact JFK was more famous and known dead than when he was alive. The fact that Johnson was more on top of his game and had more influence than JFK himself it’s because he had been in politics and developed influence like JFK could not even dreamed of. I also heard that in reality Kennedy did not really care too much about the Civil Rights Movement. Although JFK was a good president and a president of the people I guess him surviving living would not have been any better as we see these true facts.
Nah, he cared about civil rights. HE was just really cautious about his approach.
What about the space program?
I know right
JFK wanted both Russia and the U.S. to join together for the moon landing. That would of been cool, but sadly never came true.
my understanding is that a Apollo wouldn't have happened. As with the Civil Rights Act, it was partly done as a "to JFK's memory". Johnson may have seen it thru but no one remembers either making a speech about it
He had plans to try and get us to the moon by the end of the decade then mars in the 70's
10:02 there's no need for a song on an alternative history channel to slap THAT hard
It is something incredibly hard to guess. JFK's accomplishments are clear: He skillfully steered the country through the Cuban Missile Crisis and avoided nuclear war. He spoke eloquently about Civil Rights, and I believe in his second term LBJ would have helped him pass Civil Rights laws. He also grew in office. Causes greater than ourselves like the Moon , the Peace Corps were aspirations that were possible. The US was admired around the world. I think we would have kept special ops, and spent billions to prop up a US support government in Vietnam, but I think, he would have negotiated a deal with Ho Chi Minh, who earlier had wanted to. However, JFK had affairs that made Bill Clinton look like an altar boy. If J. Edgar Hoover had blown JFK's cover, and it became public, I think JFK would have had to resign. When it came to affairs...the Kennedy men were deer in heat running across Interstate highways...reckless and one-track minded.
*You forgot secret organizations JFK talked about*
What if Al Gore won the electoral college in 2000?
Clarence Parker III I don't think Obama would've won without a Bush presidency.
My view is that he is viewed as too soft (as for the europeans, they end up calling him "Blood and Gore") but narrowly wins re-election in 2004 against John McCain. Mitt Romney ends up becoming 44th president after a huge win in the electoral college in 2008 (350+ EV). Kanye West ends up becoming the Donald Trump of the 2016 election, and Sarah Palin the Hillary Clinton of the 2016 election, although Kayne runs as a dem and palin as a republican. Right now there are protests by the WWC and whites in the south shouting "I'm with Palin!" "Not my president!" "West is not fit for office!"
You mean, what if a actual recount took place in Florida, and showed that Gore won the state by nearly 5,000 votes opposed to cancelling a recount due to lack of time for the electoral college to meet?
Then manbearpigs would have taken control.
Absurd Lies hahahahahahahaha.
Part of the reason this event was so horrible is that we never got a chance to see if he was a great president. He had enormous potential but it was unrealized.
The amount of speculation that has to go into this thought experiment alone is incredible. I think it would've been interesting to see JFK survive and win a 2nd term as well, I don't know if it would've made a massive difference today, especially considering Vietnam would be likely to happen either way. It might have ended earlier, but I still think the effects of the war on the American public would have stayed the same.
As for Civil Rights, this is what I am most torn on, seeing JFK as a more modern left-leaning president(I may be somewhat naive here, but this is what I see), I think Civil Rights probably would've been resolved around the same time if not earlier if he stayed president, but it's still likely MLK would have been assassinated and tensions would still exist years afterwards like it did in our timeline.
It's tough to say that JFK would've been a "great" president, as like stated in the video, he was almost more of a figurehead and a symbol for hope and the American way/dream. I don't feel as though a 2-term JFK presidency would have changed much in terms of significance in recent American history, obviously some things would be different, and certain aspects of our culture and politics would be changed for the better or worse, but I don't think life would've/would be much different today if JFK survived. That being said, he was a cool dude, and he definitely didn't deserve what happened to him.
Kennedy told his close advisors that he wanted to pull the 15,000 troops we had in Vietnam out after his re-election in 1968. Everything would have been better. Vietnam had no intention of taking over Laos or Cambodia.
Vietnam is 100% sure that there will be no intention of annexing Laos or Cambodia.
Both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights act would have passed in 1965 after JFK would have beaten Goldwater by the same margin that LBJ beat him and the huge Democratic majorites in both Houses would have overcome Southern opposition.
Then Cold War's trailer wouldn't be as special.
wtf you made a video about JFK, and then at the end there's a short clip about the top ten contract killers XD
+tony luu Bad choice.
History speaking it's a good lead into the topic. I don't see the problem.
Terrible coincidence 😂😂
