OOC: Inspired by a recent thread by Windows7Guy.
IC: Today happens to be the 70th Anniversary of the surrender of C.S. General Thom Bilbo at Little Rock to U.S. Generals Thomas F. Eisenhower and William Roosevelt, which proved to be the final major turning point against the Axis Powers in WWII, and the beginning of the solidification of nearly total Unionist influence in the Americas, which would last until the early 1990s. However, though, what if the United States and her allies had won the First World War? Would the events of the Second Revolution still have happened, or could it have happened elsewhere(Perhaps Russia in particular)? Could Germany have avoided it's era of ever-increasing paranoia and authoritarianism? What might the world look like today?
OOC: A short back-ground: This is a post-Civil War C.S. victory world in which the United States went semi-Communist after a longer and more severe Gilded Age, the assassination of a progressive President, and the loss of this world's World War I(U.S. allied with France, Britain, Italy, Japan, Yugoslavia, and Turkey, versus the Confederacy & their allies-Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Brazil, and the not-yet-dead Qing China.); the U.S.S.A. lasted from 1917 to 1992 and once held sway over most of Latin America, as well as much of Africa and some parts of the Middle East during the height of this world's Cold War, which ended when the Second Russian Empire(the Second Empire, as the first fell in 1921 after yet another disastrous famine; the Romanovs were not restored until 1941, and for the first 7 years of that, faced numerous counter-attempts against them, one of which almost succeeded.)collapsed in 1990 and the old U.S. Constitution was restored in 1992. After WWII ended, Germany, chief amongst the C.S. allies in both World Wars, was broken up into 7 constituent states; the remnants of Austria-Hungary, sans Dalmatia, most of Slavonia, and most of Transylvania, were turned into the Central European Worker's Republic.
