Maybe one where Lenin went into bartending instead of politics?

the Bow Street Runners was the nick-name of London's first police force from 1742 till 1839

But their relationship to the Hammer and Sickle completely eludes me

um... hm... well, maybe they last a bit longer and become unionized under Marx during his London years? idk I can't think of a TL where the old bobbies of London town go communist

and why any one named a pub after the Bow Street Runners and put a hammer and sickle in the sign.... I have no ideas, pure historical irony that basically no one will get?

A street fight between Communists and pro-American Republicans in downtown Markham, Ontario is broken up by the police with tear gas in 1938.

Markham? Markham is a pure sprawl Toronto Suburb. It wasn't officially a town until the 70s. Unless Ontario demographics are very different you won't see any scenes akin to that.

That doesn't explain the hammer and Sickle though.

Muh bad. The picture is actually of Minneapolis, and a quick wiki showed that they're very roughly near in population; forgot to adjust for the time difference

The fascists goosestepping in front of it. Not the most common occurence in 1930s New York. They usualy stuck to New Jersey.

Interesting, we don't usually see this sort of visual media made for timelines.

Makes me think that I'll probably have to invent a few element names for my timelines as well, given that they'll probably be named after different scientists and different things. (Uranium and Neptunium might still come into existence, but they might denote different elements than in OTL.)

though i DID just notice that i forgot the symbols for flerovium and ununpentium... i'll go back and fix it soon

EDIT: fixed the Alchemical Table

I doubt that they're fascists, though.

Early 20th century New Jersey police is more Prussian than Fascist

Maybe the uniforms are Prussian?

Also, this is sigged.

From an ATL where Teresa May goes into modeling instead of politics?

That's okay. Time is usually a tricky thing. Another thing to remember is that municipal numbers are basically useless. Metropolitan Area or Urban Area are what you need. Especially comparing Canada to the US (where urban area is the closest between them) as the US seems to hate amalgamating cities while Canada (excluding BC) seems to love it.
