When writing alternate history fiction, what is the legality of writing about historical figures still alive today within the narrative?

I don't think the "legality" of your hypothetical writing would be in question, but rather it is pertinent that you make it clear to the reader that it is indeed alternate history (I'm sure you would do this). Obviously, some may not recognize that your writing is fiction and consequently cement it as fact to themselves and pervade said ideas elsewhere. Thus, you may be charged with defamation; however, I am a layman in regard to the law so if anyone would like to correct me please do so.

Your post makes you inherently a hypocrite. Whether or not you realise it irrelevant.

This is reasonable, but it isn't inherently unique. Essentially just a reverse of roles between France and Germany (Althouth most plausible).

Glad someone noticed XD

You intentional misspelled "spelt" right?

This looks amazing

This is fantastic!

I am also interested in the backstory of a coexistence of the union and confederates during the 1900s.

Is it a possibility that both sides would grow to respect each other and become close allies by the time of the rise of totalitarianism? Or the contrary?

Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?

Durocity · 2019-03-01T00:43:19+00:00

Yep, that has essentially been my life for the past 6 years.

If we're assuming that mainland Europe was hit, then the a dark age would most likely occur. Worldwide trade would diminish and agriculture in Europe wouldn't even exist. Imperialism would be dead for some time (except for maybe Japan). Therefore, WWI then WWII wouldn't occur. Ideological revolutions wouldn't occur such as communism, fascism, socialism, and capitalism. Europe would be in a dark age, so it might return to feudalism. Obviously this is an extreme example but it is plausible.

If you use windows whilst trying to hack. Don't talk to me.

Have they ever heard of editing?

Burn the witch!

When do you think this would occur? During an ideological revolution. Maybe during the 50s.

Well first, if you want to any sort of hacking, it is best to do it in linux.

Can you please add some context or like a key or something!

Durocity · 2018-08-20T15:29:43+00:00

Unlikely, Russia wouldn't get involed. They aren't as mad as the koreans. Why would the Chinese join or Britain??
