AH Challenge:Make a three way cold war

my first idea was between gramny its allie the us and its allies and the soviets and there allies what ramifcations would have and bonus points if you could involve japan or the phillpines or even if i dare say mexico?!
 
To an extent, OTL. The Cold War was a lot more multipolar than most people realize, the three main poles being the US, USSR, and China. All 3 played off each other for their own interests, freezing one of the others out in turn.
 
Agree with Hobelhouse, for sure after the Sino-Soviet split the Cold War had a three power aspect with the US hoping to get China over to their side. I wonder if after 1960 you could make the argument for Europe being another player no longer following US policy without question.

For something more out of the box, Imperial Japan one that stays out of World War II. It is able to build up power in the Pacific and thus be a player in Cold War politics, playing the US and USSR against each other.

Yea im seeing it now...

January 21th 1946; Charles de gaull called a press confrence: ''On this day United States of America armed forces must leave europe within 1 year from this date if not there will be conquences''.

Charles de gaull was french prime minister or what evre and he did not like americe very much if the americans leave europe he startsthe suropean union but it has a defences community. that makes it one step closer the the EUROPEAN FEDERATIon sound familar its from tom clancys end war but with a twist. japan stays out of ww2 so germany falls even faster with american troops linking up with soviets in berlan not after. so now theres four superpowers.. id like a timeline anyone got any ideas or suggsetions?
