As we all know, the 1920s would come to be known as the Red Decade as the Soviet Union launched a massive invasion of Europe in the aftermath of the Polish-Soviet War. Coupled with Communist insurrections in European countries, by the late 20s the entirety of Europe including the British Isles had been overwhelmed and reorganized into Soviet satellite nations, and by the end of the decade the Middle East had fallen as well, heralding a near-century of Cold War and proxy conflicts between the Paris Pact and the Pacific Treaty Organization before the Communist collapse in the 90s.

Is there any way to keep the Red Decade from coming to pass? How different would most of Eurasia be like today, without nearly a century of Communist rule? China and Africa in particular, were ravaged by proxy war for much of the 20th Century, so how developed would they be by now had the Soviet Union not cast its shadow over most of Eurasia?
