This is an alternate timeline in which a bunch of conferences, treaties, wars, and other stuff that defined the Cold War are done differently (however unrealistic they may be), causing a snowball effect that would make the Cold War go very differently (and also very wacky). This is my first big timeline, I hope you guys like it!
The World in 1953.
Here's the divides/wars/treaties/etc. that went differently, you can give feedback about this if you want:
* Vietnam War results in a Korean War-like situation, North and South Vietnam are grave enemies, mostly communist defeat and no Khmer Rouge or Laotian Civil War
* Korean War results in the North sweeping through Korea, giant communist victory and decline in Democratic popularity in the US due to Truman's failure to win
* Battle of Hainan results in Kuomintang victory, strong US hold is established over the Pacific and tensions are much higher
* Jinnah never achieves Muslim independence from India, resulting in a much less stable and divided Republic of India
* Tibet isn't annexed by China, causing it to ally itself with the US and become an exile for oppressed groups in the PRC
* Nasser forms a United Arab Republic with Yemen, Jordan, Syria and Palestine in it by the late 50s, he eventually unites the Middle East
(Note: Israel was sided against by NATO and Palestine did win the 1948 war)
* Romania keeps Bessarabia in exchange for half of Polish land taken during the Moscow Conference in 1944
* West and East Austria are formed out of the Allied and Soviet occupation zones in a manner similar to West and East Germany
* Italy keeps Istria after a referendum
How does the Cold War get altered further by this? I don't know, you discuss!
