Introduction
The Red World: Alternate History of the World
(Not to be confused with the HOI4 mod of the same name)
In an alternate timeline where the Soviet Union won the Cold War, the United States fell into civil war in 1987 due to economic and political crises following President Reagan's assassination in 1981, resulting in the collapse of the United States. The main divergence from OTL is when North Korean communist forces defeated South Korea and the United States after a Soviet veto in the UNSC to intervene. The Vietnam War ended in a even more humiliating defeat for the United States, and Soviet missiles stayed in Cuba following the Cuban Missile Crisis, while relations with NATO countries and other US allies began to sour, especially France, West Germany and Türkiye. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan, a promising leader, was assassinated and his Vice President, George H. W. Bush lost the 1984 election to Walter Mondale, who attempted to reform the U.S. economy, but failed. NATO was dissolved in 1985, as many countries began to leave the alliance and turn to communism. In 1987, communists in the Pacific States and New England began to revolt and eventually, led to a second civil war, that ended with many states that seceded from the Union forming their own countries, while the Southern states formed the Federated States. Canada annexed Alaska to prevent the Soviet Union from taking it. In the aftermath, the Soviet Union became the world's sole superpower, former NATO countries became Soviet puppets and joined the Warsaw Pact, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan were crushed and many other countries fell to communism due to the United States no longer existing. In the former United States, now the Federated States, the Republican and Democratic parties merged into one in order to prevent communist takeover which already occurred in the Pacific States, New England, Texas and the Mid-Atlantic. In 2016, a fascist organization led a coup against the existed Federated States government, which fled to Puerto Rico, and established a new policy: to reform the United States of America, with Texas being invaded and annexed in 2023 after peaceful diplomacy failed. In the aftermath of Texas's defeat, a new Cold War has sparked between the Federated States and the Soviet Union, alongside the Warsaw Pact and other Soviet allies.
