Cold War between the German Empire and Japanese Empire

I like the basic premise in the title and the idea of constitutional monarchies...

So how do the Romanovs fare in Russia?

Why would the Japanese, who are fairly peaceful, use nukes? Isn't it against their constitution or something?
It's in their modern-day OTL constitution because the US forced it in there. But before and during WWII, the Imperial Japanese had no problem using weapons of mass destruction

The Romanovs fair quite well in this Russia, the Tsar who is Prince Andrei chosen by Queen Olga of Great Britain her cousin to become head of the house of romanov, the residence of the tsar is the Catherine Palace, but the imperial family prefers the Alexander Palace they also retain residences in New Moscow and Lavidia in the Crimea. They also have substanial wealth partly owning one of the biggest oil companies in Russia, there is also a the large aristocracy and the gap between the rich and poor like in america but Russia is a welfare state. The Tsar is purely a figurehead with no powers this had lead to the corruption within the government headed by the Premier who resides in the New Kremlin, there is two upper classes in Russia the political scene and the aristocratic sign wanna know more??? :D :L
 
Some other ideas i have for this timeline is the alternative World War Two - France turns into a fascist state in 1921 following the assassination of President Georges Sorel, and the fourth republic of France is declared. In the following year in Italy Mussolini comes to power but ITL he pushes for the abdication of Victor Emmanuel III and gets it, the King and his family fleeing to Switzerland. In 1930 the two countries form an alliance, the foundations have been laid for the Fascist Bloc.

In 1932 the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is complete with the Republic of Austria holding its first elections in 1933 where Adolf Hitler wins and becomes the first President of Austria. He soon gets loans from France and Italy and quickly builds up Austrian industry and the armed forces, joining as an ally of Italy and France in 1935.

In 1937 a joint French-Italian-Austrian task force aids to Franco and puts him in power and France annexes Catalonia for the trouble. The four nations now form the Fascist Bloc. In 1938 the Milan Summit is held were the Soviet Union and Argentina also attend, here the Fascist Bloc allies itself with the Soviet Union and Argentina associates itself with the Bloc.

The leaders of the Bloc say they have formed this alliance in retaliation for the Triple Alliance of Germany, Great Britain and the United States.

In 1939, a surprise move Japan allies itself with the Fascist Bloc cosying up to the powers, though they will not fight together throughout the entire war they remain allies (like OTL Germany and Japan).

The war begins in 1940 with the Soviet invasion of the Kingdom of Poland with Germany honoring the Danzig Treaty signed in 1932 and declaring war on the Soviet Union mobilizing. This is followed by Great Britain who also mobilizes and then the Fascist Bloc declare war on the Triple Alliance, leading the United States to declare war in 1940.

Europe is entrenched in warfare for the next six years and it changes the world forever. The war ends in Europe in 1946 with the German nuclear attack on Moscow leading to the Soviet surrender. The war sees Fascism leave Europe and the regimes replaced with monarchies or democratic governments for example the Bourbons in Spain and France and the Savoy's briefly in Italy before a referendum is held and the monarchy abolished. The biggest U-turn in regimes was the restoration of the Romanovs to Russia in 1947 with the head of the family Grand Duke Andrei (son of Grand Duchess Xenia) taking the throne as Tsar Andrei I.

Following the war the Saint Petersburg Trails are held (OTL Numenberg trails) were the full atrocities of the war are revealed to the world via the press. One notable person persecuted by the trails are former Soviet leader Stalin sentenced to death, and one person who escaped trail and imprisonment and certain death was Adolf Hitler who secretly escaped to Argentina, it was revealed he fled there following the allied attack on Vienna, he died in 1954.

The the final months of the war the Americans pulled out to return to the states and fight in the Pacific, the same can be said of the British but they made better use of their troops in India and Australia.

With the end of the war in 1946 in Europe the Congress of Nations was created to keep peace throughout the world with many nations joining the HQ of this organisation would be in Zurich with the North American HQ being in Vancouver. Also created was NADA (North Atlantic Defense Alliance) to keep Europe from falling into war again and to protect all of its members from attacks from other nations (OTL NATO), the organisations HQ is Munich.

The two biggest powers in Europe the German Empire and the British Empire both dramatically change in the following decade. Germany grants Independence to all of its colonies apart from the Congo which is fully incorporated into the country and the nation is reformed and becomes the United Greater German States.

While Great Britain grants its dominions independence following the war and in 1963 grants all of its colonies independence, the British Commonwealth is created keeping the nations together in a lose federation with the INDEPENDENT countries having the British monarch as Head of State and a joint currency of the pound sterling each country having its own for example Canadian Pound.

MORE TO BE ADDED :D
 
No US entry to the Zimmermann Telegram strikes as pretty space bat. Do check it out - it was pretty offensive. I suggest looking it up.

Real people don't have a stupid virus.

Real new countries don't secede just because the author wants to antiwank us, but for real reasons. Have you ever looked at the paperwork and war involved.

I agree with the thread that you'd better try again. This time I'd ask, would I do that myself? And changes need to be plausible in chain from the starting chain.

Would Britain really even free Gibraltar? Wnat about the Falklands?

When i said they free their colonies i am refering to what happened in OTL with the Commonwealth the UK keeps all of its overseas territories, in fact in the current day of this timeline the UK still has Hong Kong (treaty with the Chinese in the 1950s) and also has newfoundland, ireland and the maritime provinces due to them being cut off from the rest of Canada following Quebec gaining independence in the late 1930s with the help of the Fascist Bloc

Does it make sense now when i say de-colonizing its the same as OTL the countries keep their overseas territories.

As well the US is a hard line isolationist during WW1 so thats why they don't enter the war

And what do you mean real people don't have a stupid virus??
 
You'd have a mostly German0dominated Europe and mostly Japanese-dominated Asia if that's what you're asking

Yes, but what kind of conflicts would we see e.g. Vietnam what do you think and another question if China does not become part of the Co-Prosperity Sphere as well Australia and New Zealand what nations do you think would be in that arn't Japanese puppets do you think ??

:D

If Japan is a superpower, then China is definitely going to be a puppet state. I could see maybe the Japanese "freeing" India from the German-allied British. A possible point of conflict could be at the DMZ between the German-allied USA and the Japanese-occupied California. Which side is Russia on? A German-allied Russia could be at odds with a Japan right next to it
 
Because the Japan in this world is stronger due to its puppet states e.g. Indochina and Manchuria and also Japan is more industralised and developes the nuke first destroyed LA and San Diego ending the war in the Pacific i have worked this out already ask for more details the Germans made the nukes first destroying Moscow and ending the war in Europe (the Japs stole it off the Germans)

Not likely with a POD post 1914. Japan doesn't have the wealth to conquer and industrialize those same territories at the same time. Also the US has always reacted to any Japanese militarization of the Far East.
