The Red

Okay so after a short victorious war against Venezuala, Columbia unites all of South America under it's leadership becoming a New Super Power. Powerless to resist, Obama allows them to annex nation after nation as they go further north. Until one nations stops them in their tracks - Trinidad and Tobago!

Chapter 5: The lesser known story of US troops in Latvia


Summary


In early 1919, Latvia suffered a Communist coup lead by Pēteris Stučka took over newly independent country. Many feared this would lead to Latvia being reabsorbed into Russia (now the Soviet Union.) However this was not so, as in an act that still puzzles historians to this day, he confirmed Latvian independence and thus crowned himself King of Latvia.* He then ordered his loyal troops to purge Latvia of both Communist and Western influences, citing that it was the only way to keep Latvia pure. Unfortunately, during what is now known as the January terror, two American aid workers were killed brutally on the streets of Riga, thus causing an outrage in America.


After a further death of another US citizen the US declared War on Latvia, on the 23rd of January 1919. American troops in Germany were immediately mobilized, and much to dismay of Stučka had landed near Riga by the 4th of February. On the 6th of February the Americans entered Riga to find that Stučka had fled**, and so the Americans had technically won the war against Latvia without a single major offensive. American troops would stay in Latvia for the next 33 years until the Soviet Union finally acknowledged its independence in 1952 after the devastating Sino-Soviet war that left the Soviet Union a shell of what it had been in 1919.


*Prominent historian Professor H Turtledove of the University of Los Angeles has proposed that Stučka was suffering from psychosis and that the shock of finding himself in power led to him going completely insane. However most other historians believe that Stučka had just too much faith in his own troops and that lead to an over confidence in his own abilities.


** Stučka was captured by the German Freikorp’s unit “Landeswehr ” on the 18th of February and was eventually tried and executed at the Versailles Trials for crimes against humanity on the 16th July, 1920. Both the 18th of February and the 16th of July are now national holiday’s in Latvia.

POD: Kuwait Oil Company outbids the China National Petroleum Company for the Agadem Block oilfields in Niger in 2008.

Following the February 2010 coup, Colonel Djibo, leader of the junta, declares the sale of exploration rights to Kuwait Oil Company under the previous president illegal. After their complaints to the Americans, whose oil companies are eyeing the newly available oil finds in Niger, are ignored, Kuwait decides to take matters into it's own hands and secretly sends a large group of special forces troops equipped with armored vehicles, to Niger through Libya. Disguised as Libyans, the Kuwaitis cross the poorly guarded desert border between Libya and Niger and attempt to rendevous with groups hostile to the Junta in order to organize a counter-coup. When one of their contacts in Niamey turns them in to the Junta, a large military force is sent to their location. When a helicopter approaches them, the Kuwaitis panick and shoot it down. They are still unaware that it was scouting for the main force of the Niger army approaching their approximate location. The Kuwaitis are able to spot the enemy force before they pin down their exact location but are unable to flee without exposing themselves. They decide to attack the approaching force. The Kuwaitis' IFV's 30 mm cannons made quick work of most of the armored cars in the Niger(ian?) column, but a few soviet-era tanks were too well armored to be destroyed. The Kuwaitis fled north but two of their vehicles were destroyed by the pursuing Niger(ans?).

In the diplomatic fallout quite a number of Kuwaiti officials were forced to resign and reparations to Niger were arranged. The resulting weakness of the Niger Armed Forces allowed Tuareg rebels to gain control of much of northern Niger which they continue to hold today.

Oh and the Chinese National Petroleum Company ended up winning the rights to exploit the Agadem Block.

Mine's easy.

The DROC becomes an utter clusterfuck, with Malawi being one of the countries intervening to support a certain rebel group against the mostly powerless and utterly corrupt DROC government.

Now...42 and 75.

Two options for Israel v. Papua New Guinea, making Israel either a Japanese client or a Soviet client.
Take 1:
"Israel" or "Yisroel" is the term used for the Japanese-backed Jewish state established in the Molucca Islands and Dutch New Guinea in 1948. When the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere finally collapsed in the 1970s, the US-backed Papua New Guinea invaded the western half of the island of New Guinea, driving the Israelis off the island by 1978.

Take 2:
When Papua New Guinea switched its recognition of the sole successor to the British Mandate from Israel to Palestine in 1974, the Israeli government, with tacit support and basing rights from Indonesia (led by Israel-friendly Suharto), responded with an embargo of Papuan goods and a submarine-enforced blockade of Papua itself - a dangerous act, given the possibility of direct Australian intervention and a renewal of the Konfrontasi, which could've brought in the Soviets and Americans. The Papuan military, with quiet support from Australia, managed some successes, most notably sinking the Kilo-class submarine INS Leviathan, but Papua gave in after suffering a 400% GDP loss in Q1 1975 due to the blockade.
