Horrifying. I love it. Are you gonna do more things with this universe?

Thanks.
Maybe in thd future I'll write a sequel about the actual German Winter (or the National Socialist Cultural Revolution). But not for now. Gotta finish other projects
God, I hope so. I've always been fascinated by what fascist or Nazi pop culture would look like and how it would develop. Excited to see whatever else you put out.
If the economy still flushes itself down the toilet in the late 2000s like in our reality, the incumbent party will probably lose.
E.I, if Kerry won in 2004, he'll probably lose in 2008 to whatever Republican candidate is thrown at him. With McCain being Kerry's running mate in this timeline, the GOP will probably pick Mitt Romney or something (sorry for mentioning current politics with Romney).
Me, after seeing your infobox project after I have done all the state results from both the 1864 US presidential election and the 1867 CSA presidential election from Harry Turtledove's The Guns of the South:
MCU: Phase Three (2016-2020)
(Notes: Phase three of five, the biggest yet as we round out this saga. the next won't be the multiverse as OTL but something else. Spiderman is a mix of the game and the 90s show, endgame and infinity war lost the avengers tag because their scope is bigger, iron-lad is the first movie to take place during the snap and well end-game does not list a big cast. id say alot of them feature near the end, too many to put in the cast)

Just an idea I wanted to make an box for. Basically, interwar Britain, but worse - a civil war in 1926, a Nationalist coup in 1934, and the creation of the British form of Fascism.
The Parties:
National Protection Organisation (NPO) - formed after the civil war by those who supported the Organisation for the Maintenance of Supplies - made up of the more conservative members of the British Fascisi. Broadly speaking, the NPO support free trade around the Empire, isolationism, authoritarianism and anti-semitism.
Conservative-Liberal Party - formed under the direction of the NPO as an alternative party for the election and functionally, had little to no independence. More supportive of democracy,.
Radical Party - made up of those who are more supportive of a purely fascist system.
Edit: It should be 1937, not 1935. I knew there was something 🙄

I’m thinking no. Basically, I wanted to imagine a sort-of-fascist Britain, but without the usual cliche of Mosley gaining power. So whereas the predominant form of fascism was the BUF in our timeline, in ATL it’s more like the early British Fascists - basically authoritarian conservatives. I’m thinking perhaps that he might be a leading radical fascist agitator in the background, but not part of government .
The Darién Campaign, also known as the Battle of the Isthmus and codenamed Operation Bulldog by British forces, was a military campaign fought between 13 September 1941 and 8 November 1942 was an attempt by forces of the Berlin Accord to capture the Panama Canal. German and British planners, flush with victory after the destruction of the US Atlantic Fleet in August and the seizure of Nova Scotia, were certain that the seizure of the Panama Canal would prove crippling to the American war effort by preventing reinforcements from either the US Pacific Fleet or its Japanese ally, forcing Roosevelt to the peace table. In addition, the Accord hoped to secure access to South American oil supplies in Venezuela and Mexico through new trade agreements once the US was no longer in a position to enforce the Monroe Doctrine. After some initial successes with the unopposed landings of the joint Accord expeditionary force at Turbo, Colombia, on September 8th (facilitated by a pro-Accord coup d'etat on September 6th) the capture of both Colón and the Caribbean entrance to the Canal on October 3rd, the combined American and Panamanian resistance prevented further gains and the campaign quickly developed into a stalemate. Both sides would battle all over the Isthmus and western Colombia for the next 14 months.
The geographical characteristics of Isthmus and the Darién Gap region meant that weather, disease and terrain had a major effect on operations. The lack of reliable infrastructure in the region placed an emphasis on military engineering and air transport to move and supply troops, and evacuate wounded. The British/German forces were beset extreme difficulties in maintaining their forces, reliant on extremely long supply lines to Europe, under constant harassment by a combination of long range bombers operating out of the mainland US, submarines and the extremely effective surface raiding led by the fast battleships USS North Carolina and USS Washington. This was further complicated by the lack of overland supply routes from their base in the western regions of the newly established puppet “Protectorate of New Grenada”. An attempt to clear a path through the Darién Gap using slave labor and POWs eventually triggered an insurgency by former members of the Colombian armed forces and several indigenous groups throughout the region.
The American/Panamanian forces in the region, consisting of the understrength Panama Canal Division and the under-equipped National Police, initially seemed destined to follow the poor performance seen during the capture of Puerto Rico (a special commando unit of British and German Americans dressed in US uniforms captured the island HQ and forced a nearly bloodless surrender) and in Nova Scotia, where poorly trained and equipped National Guard units rapidly transported to the front were outclassed by the seasoned Accord forces. But allied fortunes were bolstered by the arrival in late October of US Army Major General Terry de la Mesa Allen. After relieving the well respected but ineffective BG Jay MacKelvie, Allen set about to whip American forces into shape. Taking advantage of the unique geography of the region and the Canal itself (Allen scuttled several obsolete destroyers and cruisers in Gatun Lake to use as improvised fortifications against the furious objections of the Navy) gave its defenders, the former cavalryman began utilizing a strategy of mobile defense, utilizing small units to harass both the enemy frontlines and supply corridors. This was bolstered by the continual buildup and reinforcement of what would eventually be the US Fourth Army by both existing National Guard units from the western and Rocky Mountain states and eventually the deployment of the elite 109th Infantry Division from the Japanese Imperial Army.
Once Allen finally reached parity with the invading forces in late summer 1942 (reinforcements and supplies to the Canadian front had taken priority in the initial phase of the war), he launched his counteroffensive, code named Operation Pickoff. Working in concert with by a series of partisan attacks against Accord occupation HQ in Bogotá and buoyed by the recent arrival by the fresh Japanese troops, Allen made rapid gains against the invaders. The combined British/German expeditionary force had been steadily weakened by a combination of tropical diseases, constant guerrilla activity and only limited reinforcement and resupply due to setbacks in other theaters. The British commander Percival was especially ineffective, choosing to continually send glowing status reports back to London and refusing any attempts to restrain the excesses of his troops or those of his German ally against Colombian and Panamanian citizens. His eventual surrender of nearly 125,000 diseased and starving Accord troops on November 8th sent shockwaves in Berlin and in London, with Queen Wallis being overheard as saying “This is the beginning of the end”. Sadly, Allen did not live to take Percival’s surrender after his Jeep was struck near Turbo by naval artillery (believed to be from HMS Edward VIII) on November 1st.
edit: some grammar cleanup, corrected opening sentence.

Yes. It's a fourth Cod War in a CP victory.
Yes. We have a random Scandinavia to make it more interesting.
Yes. The German battleship is the Bismarck
And Yes. We have Margaret Thatcher and Franz Josef Strauss being head of government of two great powers during the same time.
All in all... A pretty wild ride.
Guess at POD:
Hitler is more savvy here and has a diplomatic policy that goes beyond delaying war with the other powers through guilt and appeasement policies. Instead he charms his way into an image as Europe's great savior against emerging Soviet-American dominance while hiding the effects of the Reich's racial policies, and this works well enough that the British establishment regards him as an ally against against rogue colonial powers like Italy and Japan. Nazi Germany meanwhile prepares for an eventual war with the United States both by cozying up to the British against the still vengeful France, and builds allies in Latin America by secretly giving them aid against imperialism from the north (maybe even builds rapport through its historic relations with Chile). War finally breaks out over a minor incident which highlights the division between America and the former Entente as well as throws into question how much covert assistance Berlin has been granting to South America and the Pacific against Amero-Japanese interests.
I've done a few wikiboxes ITTL while I see if I can turn into a real TL, but the major PODs are Japanese PM Tsuyoshi survives his assassination attempt in 1932 and is able to bring the military back under civilian control and ends further expansion into China. Meanwhile, Edward VIII survives abdication by allying with Mosley and enacting a royal coup, which causes CAN/AUS/NZ to break with the Crown. Edward seeks to supplant the old Empire with a new one by allying with Hitler to divvy up the Continent, eventually planning to retake the wayward dominions by force. The US is more amenable to allying with a more restrained Japan to counter the naval might of Britain and Germany (having taken control of most of the conquered navies ITTL).
