"There's a place in the world for the angry young man, With his working class ties and his radical plans
He refuses to bend he refuses to crawl, And he's always at home with his back to the wall
And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost, And struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross
And likes to be known as the angry young man." - Billy Joel, "Prelude/Angry Young Man"

"It should be noted that counterfactual history is most emphatically not revisionist history, nor should it be confused with the genre of alternate history fiction. In general, the main distinguishing feature of counterfactual history from fictional alternate histories is that counterfactual history attempts to provide reasoned arguments for each change, and the changes are usually outlined only in broad terms, whereas a fiction writer is free to invent very specific events and characters in the imagined history." - Wikipedia, "Counterfactual history" |

"Alternate history or alternative history is a subgenre of speculative fiction (or some would say of science fiction) that is set in a world in which history has diverged from history as it is generally known. Alternate history literature asks the question, "What if history had developed differently?" Most works in this genre are based in real historical events, yet feature social, geopolitical, or industrial circumstances that developed differently than our own. While to some extent all fiction can be described as "alternate history," the subgenre proper comprises fiction in which a change or point of divergence occurs in the past that causes human society to develop in a way that is distinct from our own." - Wikipedia |
