I created a series of maps (that I never posted) that show a world where there is a cold war between the UK and USSR. What would this world look like and how would this cold war happen? In my timeline Pearl Harbor never happening is the POD which results with the USA never joining WW2.
Interesting. In a world where the UK competed with the USA would America fund rebels in Africa and other European colonies?Actually, I have a whole weird little idea in mind for this coming about. I call it the "atomic kingdom" idea, and it could very well get pretty dystopian. It's elaborated on here: https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...omb-and-no-resurrected-british-empire.428277/ ...but the general gist is that Britain gets more control over the Manhattan Project (Tube Alloys, ITTL), becomes the first nuclear power, and then leverages that due to the threats of an increasingly annoyed US and the USSR to more or less resurrect the British Empire in a new sense, becoming increasingly belligerent, possessive of the A-Bomb, and kind of under a "siege mentality". In such a situation, you'd probably have a UK-USSR Cold War until the USA managed to finish their nuclear program, at which point the UK and US would probably either join with one another or outright create a three-way nuclear threat.

An India closely allied to the USA is definitely a cool idea! What would happen to China in this world? America has more authority over Asia in this timeline and more of an incentive to expand this influence as well so perhaps they'd fight a proxy war on the side of the nationalists.I could see that, yeah. Probably also in India if there was still a lot of influence held there.

Perhaps. Post-War Chinese politics would be very interesting.Probably, yeah, assuming a KMT victory, it might be interesting to see America push too far on the ROC, causing it to dwell on memories of the age of imperialism, leading to it trying to play the US and British Empire off against one another while getting aid from both due to its role as an anti-Soviet and/or anti-PRC bulwark?
