I was wondering if any of these (largely dystopian) ideas have been done here.
Does anyone know of any post-1900 timelines that follow, or are very similar to, one of these scenarios?
(each one is mutually exclusive, just to be clear)

- A timeline based on Nineteen Eighty-Four, where the POD is 1949 or later, the year that George Orwell published the book (since the book was supposed to be a future prediction, not an alternate history).
- A timeline exploring a total Soviet victory in hypothetical WW3, where Stalin conquers Europe, and the timeline details the development of a mostly united Europe under communist rule. Not necessarily where the whole continent is directly annexed into the Soviet Union, but that would be interesting if it did explore that possibility.
- A timeline exploring a lasting Moscow-Berlin Axis and extensive cooperation between the two dictatorships.
- A Huey Long timeline that gets to America's involvement in WW2, or to American neutrality in WW2, depending on what happens in the TL.
- A Cuban Missile Crisis-goes-hot or Operation Northwoods TL where the US launches a nuclear first strike on the Soviet Union and Cuba and the Contiguous 48 are not hit at all, or hit only once or twice. After the destruction of Europe and the Soviet Union, this makes the USA the hyperpower of the world, but also seen as a tyrant by most other nations due to the destruction of the first strike.
- Any Operation Northwoods timeline.
- A timeline that includes a war between the Soviet Union and the Ottoman Empire.
- A timeline where the Central Powers win World War One, but after that, everything goes wrong for them.
