1901 is an alternative history novel by semi-retired Michigan economics professor Robert Conroy, depicting a fictitious German invasion of the United States in the year 1901, shortly after William McKinley begins his second term as President. The book's plot is based on a very real diplomatic crisis that nearly sent the United States and the German Empire to war in the early part of the 20th Century.
In some ways, the book follows in the footsteps of "The Invasion of the United States" published by H. Irving Hancock in 1916 and depicting an Imperial German invasion of the US in 1920-21 (which at the time was future history rather than alternative history).
