Dukakis beats Bush Sr in 1988.
On the normal timeline, George Bush Sr beats Michael Dukakis. However since Reagan wasn't reelected, Bush wasn't president another four years. As a result while he was running for president, he couldn't tell people he was vice president for eight years to one of the greatest presidents. As a result the people pick Michael Dukakis over Bush in 1988. -
No Gulf war
Because George Bush Sr was never elected president. Dukakis decides not to join U.N. Coalission which means we will not send troops to the Persian Gulf for the Persian Gulf War and we never get involved with Iraq. -
Bush loses to Gore.

No troops go to Iraq
In 2003, George Bush jr sends troops to Iraq and this would kick start the Iraq war after stuff his father dealed with in the Persian Gulf War.

Gore gets another term
After not sending the troops and doing well with things in the country. Americans would re-electy Al Gore for a second term as President. WIth Gore getting another term he now has 4 more years to change the country. -
No need to go Anyware
With another term and deciding not to go to Iraq, gore would never send the troops anywhere because he saw no need. This means that we neve go to Afganistan, or Iraq the second time and do war. As you can see in the map the US would leave that part of the world alone. -
US and US and Middle East not rough
Without being invloved with the Persian Gulf war in the 90's, the US didn't have serious starts in Iraq or Afganistan. As a result the US would keep out of the Middle East and not have a horrible relationship between parts of the Middle East. The relationship wouldn't be so bad because we never felt the need to go to their country and invade them.- Date not accurate
