Ill start working on a update probaly sometime tonight, might not get it up until tomorrow however.
I apoligize, I had it finished, and then I tried to post it, my computer eat it. so I have to do it again.
Oh shoot! Why did you not at all comment on my suggestion of writing it in Word?
Yeah, no, I didn't save my work in a word file, the copy in the AH.com new reply button was the only one that exsisted, until my computer eat it, I didn't have the heart to try and write it again last night after I spent 3 hours on it, ill try again tonight, will get it up by the end of the week.
It is understandable that the morale went down considerably!
but I do still not understand what you have against Word! Or do you not have/own such a program? Can you not handle it? Or what is the problem?
I have a pretty old computer, ive never able to afford Word or be able to run a similar program.
Try OpenOffice.org. It is free, and serves your purpose! And it probably also works on old computers.
Ethier way, ill try to get the update up some tonight or tomorrow, Sunday at the latest.
Cool! But what about my suggestion? Or what about AbiWord, or LibreOffice? Do you not want to give something a try?

Venezulan War
One Giant Leap for Man
Cold War
Venezulan War
One Giant Leap for Man
The Continuing War in Venezula continued to strain on Russia, as the seemingly never ended stalemate continued to frustrate the public, who saw the war as a fruitless effort to protect a far away South American nations when Russia needed to protect herself from Communist aggression closer to home, the Anti-War movement grew as the Venezulan War dragged on, as many saw the needless deaths of Russian boys as a fruitless effort, and demanded the Russian government pulled out, and as following events would prove, the war would turn out to be fruitless.
Russian President Leonid Brezhev. Circa 1969
The Politics of the late 1960's would be marked increasingly by the ever changing events on the world stage, the increasing failures of Venezula and the Administration's attempts to paint the war in a better light generally made the Krushchev administration lose credibility with the Russian populace, as the 1968 Presidential Elections came around, Nikita Krushchev was defeated early in primaries by other contenders for the Social Democratic nomination, Krushchev declined to run for a second full term as President, this opened up the Presidential Race for the Social Democrats, several candidates ran for the Social Democratic nomination, Senator from Volga, Igor Federnov, former President Alec Bochka's Brother, Dimitri Bochka, and others, the campaign process for the Social Democratic nomination would be fierce, but after Bochka's assassination during the campaign season by a Ugandan nationalist, Federnov would go on to win the nomination
Meanwhile, several candidates bounced around on the National Republican side, however in the end, former Vice President Leonid Brezhev, who had lost the 1960 Election to Alec Bochka, was nominated once more by the National Republican Party, a splinter Siberal Democrat candidate also ran again on the issues of Siberian politics, the election would prove to be a fiercly contested one, however the split of the Social Democrats would allow Brezhev to win the election with some ease. Brezhev's policies over the next several years would focus on the gradual withdrawal of Russian troops from Venezula, improvment of Economic policies in Russia proper, improving relations with the People's Republic of Brazil (which resulted in Brezhev's visit to Brazil in 1972, and detenate with the Union of American Socialist Republics and Brazil), a aggressive foreign policy based on peace and not war which make Brezhev popular within Russia, and ensure his re-election in a massive landslide in 1972, however events in the next few years would work to forever damage Brezhev's image...............................
FAESE Central Command after the Moon Landing on July 20th, 1969
Meanwhile, tensions would begin to formulate within the German Federation of Nations, The Federated State of the Congo, a territory which was acquired from Belgium after World War I by Germany, was a member of the Federation of Nations, however the leadership of the Congo, the Nationalist Party of the Congo, a highly rascist and nationalistic party who implemented similar policies to that of South Africa (a ally of Great Britain, a member of the Commonwealth) had caused friction between Berlin and Bimsarckstadt (formerly known as Leopoldville), the Nationalist Party was also Republican in nature, and after politcial manuvering was able to secure a referundum on the Congo's future status as a German Federated State or independence as a Republic, by a narrow margin, the Congo voted to cut ties with the Federation of Nations, becoming the Republic of the Congo, Louis Ferdinand I was stripped of his title as King of the Congo, and the Congo broke off from the Federation of Nations, the highly rascist White minority led Congo began to make itself a paraiah on the international stage, as it's highly Rascist policies had begun to poison it's relations with the rest of the world, murmors also began of the Congo beginging a Nuclear Weapons program.
Meanwhile, the Americans had begun a Race between the Russians and Americans known as the Space Race, the UASR launched the world's first satalite, the Apricot, in 1958, this peaked Russian interest in Space Travel, and the Federal Aeronautic Commission, the precursor to the Federal Agency for Space and Aeronautics Exploration (FASAE) was formed in 1959, and became FASAE in 1963, the Russian government began investing in the new organization, as the race to land somebody on the Moon began between the Union of American Socialist Republics and the Russian Republic, the American Space Program was slightly ahead of the Russian program at first, having started in 1961, the Americans notched another victory under there belt, with and American named Louis Aldran becoming the first human to leave the Earth's Athmosphere and enter outer space, his Craft was launched from the Space Launch Pad in Gregory, Vermont and made a full orbit around the Earth before returning to Earth, Former Russian President Alec Bochka made a speech in 1961, stating the government would work to land a Russian man on the Moon by the end of the decade, the FASAE worked throughout the decade to beat the Americans in the Space Race, the Americans and Russians attempted to keep ousting each other in the Space Race, the Americans held most of the early succseses, however infighting and disunity led to the eventual downfall of American hopes to land the first man on the Moon, Russia's efforts cultimating just in time for Bochka's end of the 60's Promise, with the Russian craft, known as Beta Kai 11, landed on the Moon on July 20th, 1969, shortly after it's arrival, Russian Cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, and as he stepped on the Moon, he uttered the following
"Adeen malyenkee steepe dlya Chahehk, Adeen gigant prygat dlya Chahehkvla" roughly translating to "One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Mankind" signifying the first landing on the Moon by a Man.
Despite losing the Race to be the First to Land a Man on the Moon, the UASR would conduct a Moon Landing of there own 3 years Later, becoming one of only two nations to ever land a man on a Non-Earth Celestial Body, it was mostly for Prestige, and to say the Work of the American Space Program was not wasted.
Chinese Army during the War of 1969.
Tensions in Asia began to increase during 1968, the Chinese government, led by the Fascist Kuomintung, closely aligned with that of the British Union of Fascists, had succcsessfully defeated the last remenets of the Japanese Army within China, crushed the last warlord resistence and fully reunited China, and the British government returned most of there concessions in China to the Chinese government, reserving to keep a couple treaty ports for British interests, and the fact the leases on them were not up, Manchuria was also returned to China per a agreement with the Russian government in 1964, through Port Arthur was retained by the Russian government on a lease, large parts of what had been apart of China remained independent, the KMT had sought to rectify that situation, having never regonized the independence of Mongolia, East Turkestan, or Tibet, regarding them as integral parts of China, the Chinese government sought to reclaim them, the Chinese Army began mobilization in early 1969, early KGB reconnaissance caught wind of Chinese mobilization, but dismissed it as a training exericise.
However on June 26th, 1969, China, with a army of 1 Million Troops, simultaneously invaded Mongolia, East Turkestan and Tibet, the Russian government began alarmed of this, at first inititally not doing anything due to the unpopularity of the Venezulan War, the Chinese, uninterupted, made gains into all three, however, fearing the spread of Fascism, Moscow is left with no choice but to declare war, the Russian Congress approved a declaration of war against China on July 29th, 1969, bringing Russian intervention into what would be dubbed as the War of 1969, or Russo-Chinese War. the Russian Army launched a invasion of China through Manchuria, and began deploying troops, some having been just recalled from Venezula, into China, the Chinese were unprepared for a invasion by Russia, and began retreating on all fronts, the ineffetive Chinese Command began to blunder in the face of a large Russian invasion force, the Russian's made quick gains against the Chinese, and the Chinese, facing strategal retreat on all fronts, agreed to a Armistice on September 16th, 1969, the parties involved eventually agreed to a peace treaty, ratified on December 19th, 1969, in which Manchuria and Inner Mongolia would become autonomus provinces within China. and China would drop all claims on East Turkestan, Mongolia and Tibet, however, a controversy arose over the treaty, in the Russian language version of the Treaty, it called for Referundums on wheather Inner Mongolia and Manchuria would join Russia and or Mongolia, go independent, or rejoin China, while the Chinese and English language versions did not call for such a referundum, all three versions were accepted by the Council of Nations, and the referundums in question were held, with both voting for independence by a Slim Majority (resulting in the Independence of Mengjiang (Inner Mongolia) and Manchuria, and the formal annexation of Port Arthur by Russia), this led to China deregonizing the Treaty and re exricising claims on all territories mentioned, it seemed like for a period a Second Russo-Chinese War was possible, but Mao Zedong quickly detensed the situation and while not accepting the Treaty, accepted it as the temporary status quo.
Meanwhile in Europe the year before, tensions within the inner Havana Pact circle rose, the Regime of the People's Republic of Iberia, led by Felipe Emil de Reyos de Gonzalez, had increasingly been introducing liberal reforms in the PRI, While still claiming it was comitted to the Communist cause, it remained loyal to the Havana Pact, however it's liberal reforms, including less restrictions on Freedom of Speech, meant anyone who wanted to voice there opinion could just go to Iberia, the leadership in Washington, and the Communist world became concerned the increasing reforms would damage the Communist Party's cause, and the unity of the Havana Pact, the Madrid Spring, as it was dubbed, was threatening the Havana Pact as a whole, or alest in there minds it was, the Havana Pact had the ability to invade other members if they threatend the security of another member, or invaded them, so over the next few months, Communists started stockpiling weapons and supplies in South France, and began mobilizing troops, On June 21st, 1968, A 8,000 Man Havana Pact force invaded Iberia through South France, the small Iberian Defense Force quickly collapsed to the Havana Pact invasion force, and resulted in the overthrow of the Liberla Regime of Felipe Gonzalez, and installed a more hardline regime led by Emil Reyes

Russian Troops during the Venezulan War, circa 1970
Meanwhile in Venezula, In late 1967 the Communists lured Russian forces into the jungles where the Russians was more than willing to fight the Communists in the jungles because it could unleash its massive firepower unimpeded by civilians causing issues. However, on January 31, 1968, the Venezulan National Army and UNLFV broke the truce that traditionally accompanied the New Year holiday by launching the largest battle of the war, the New Year Offensive launched by the UNLFV, in the hope of sparking a national uprising in the North.Over 100 cities were attacked by over 85,000 enemy troops including assaults on General Chernenkos headquarters and the Russian Embassy at the Northern capital of Caracas , Although the Russian and North Venezulan forces were initially shocked by the scale of the urban offensive launched by the UNLFV, they responded quickly and effectively, decimating the ranks of the UNLFV. In the former capital city of Marcos le de Leon, the combined SVPA and UNLFV troops captured the Spanish era Citadel and much of the city, which led to battle for control of the city. Throughout the offensive, Russian forces employed massive firepower; in Marcos le de Leon where the battle was the fiercest, that firepower left 80 percent of the city in ruins

But the offensive had another, unintended consequence. The Russian General, Cherenenko had become the public face of the Venezulan War. He was featured on the cover of Time magazine three times and was named 1965's Man of the Year.Time described him as "the sinewy personification of the Russian fighting man... (who) directed the historic buildup, drew up the battle plans, and infused the... men under him with his own idealistic view of Russian aims and responsibilities."
In November 1967 Cherneko spearheaded a public relations drive for the Federal Government to bolster flagging public support.In a speech he said that year, he said a point in the war had been reached "where the end comes into view."hus, the public was shocked and confused when Chernenko's predictions were trumped by the New Year, The Russian media, which had been largely supportive of Russian efforts, turned on the Kruschev administration for what had become an increasing credibility gap. Despite its military failure, the New Year Offensive became a political victory for the UNLFV and ended the career of President Nikita Kruschev, who declined to run for re-election. the UNLFV offensive "contradicted the claims of progress... made by the Kruschev administration and the Russian Armed Forces." The New Year Offensive was the turning point in Russia's involvment in the Venezulan War. It had a profound impact on domestic support for the conflict. Cherenenko became Chief of Staff of the Army in March 1968, just as all resistance was finally subdued. The move was technically a promotion for Chernenko. However, his position had become untenable and unacceptable because of the UNLFV offensive and because his request for 200,000 additional troops had been leaked to the media. On 10 May 1968, despite low expectations, peace talks between the Russian Republic and the Democratic Republic of Venezula began in earnest. Negotiations stagnated for five months, until Krushchev gave orders to halt the bombing of South Venezula, Kruschev's further refusal to send more Russian troops to Venezula was seen as adminstration's admission that the war was lost, and thus, the events of the next few years would cultimate the end of Russia's involvment in the war.
Severe UNLFV and SVPA losses during the New Year's Offensive allowed Russian President Leonid Brezhev to begin the process of troop withdrawals from Venezula His plan, called the Brezhev Doctrine, was to build up the Army of the Venezulan Republic, so that they could take over the defense of Venezula. The policy became known as "Venezulaization" Venezulaization had much in common with the policies of the Bochka administration. On 10 October 1969, Brezhev begin to pursue negotiations to end the Venezulan War. Theater commander Igor Federov shifted to smaller operations, aimed at communist logistical capibilities, with better use of firepower and more cooperation with the Venezulan Army. Nixon also began to pursue détente with the Americans and rapprochement with the People's Republic of Brazil, This policy helped to decrease global tensions. Détente led to nuclear arms reduction on the part of both superpowers. But Brezhev was alarmed and dissapointed that the Brazilians and Americans continued to supply the Communists with aid. In September 1969, South Venezulan Leader Oscar Figerua died at age seventy nine.
as 1970, 1971 and 1972 came to a earnest, massive bilaterial talks between South Venezulan government, the North Venezulan government and the Russian Government, in October of 1972, they reached a official agreement On 15 January 1973, Brezhev announced the suspension of offensive action against South Venezula. The Berlin Peace Accords on "Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Venezula" were signed on 27 January 1973, officially ending direct Russian involvement in the Venezulan War. A cease-fire was declared across North and South Venezula. Russian Prisoner of War's were released. The agreement guaranteed the territorial integrity of Venezula, The Berlin Peace Accords stipulated a sixty-day period for the total withdrawal of Russian forces. "This article", noted Heinreich Adenaur, "proved... to be the only one of the Berlin Agreements which was fully carried out."

Not many pictures of him exsist not in a military uniform. same for most of the OTL Soviet Leaders ive used for TTL.
OMG democratic Russia has a transdimensional warp device and is messing around in our timeline. The horror
Edit: also "becoming one of only two nations to ever land a man on a Non-Earth Celestial Body" seems to imply that some event occurs that wipes humanity out as ever suggests that the next 1000 years of progress will pass without a man setting foot on the moon again

Fantastic! Finally an update!
What about Europe, and the Südpolitik by North France, and the knee fall of Madrid? What is generally happening in Europe? What about North French elections?
You also have the names "Johnson" and "Nixon", once each, in your update. Please correct that.
