I would say it's science fiction because it is clearly an alternate history ... I've always thought that one of the beauties of SF is the idea that you can take a very ordinary story and by changing simple things (like history or setting it becomes science fiction. Alien is a classic example ... it's obviously science fiction yet at its core it's a horror movie (specifically a haunted house only the house is a space ship).
