DBWI: No Second American Revolution

Would be interesting to see the effect this has on Latin America. I imagine Batista would've consolidated power, Havana would remain the city of sin, and a Batista dynasty would rule for the foreseeable future. Perhaps Blas Roca would continue leading the communist insurgency, but without the support of America I don't see them getting far.

I doubt we would see the reunification of Gran Colombia in this timeline
 
What would the impact of no Second American Revolution be on Japan, then?

Japanese imperialism had interests in the west. I do not think that the other regime in the US would stop them.

I dunno... OTL, the then-new regime in America ignored Japanese imperialism because it was too busy consolidating power at home. That and they were fighting other imperialists - the general American attitude when Japan overran German-occupied Indochina and the DEI was 'a plague on both your houses'. It was only in the 1950s that they saw Japan as a threat, hence the Silent War (though things have been thawing with Japan since the 70s - only Nakasone could go to Washington and all that). But before the Revolution America had business interests in the region, they might have gone to war over threats to those...

The first to strike the Japanese - Interests of American Bourgeois were limited to America.

IC: If by 'strike' you mean raise tentative protests. America never actively challenged Japan until the 50s, when both had sunbombs and when the GEACPS was firmly established. Hence the Silent War, both sides funding proxies and glaring at each other...and again, that's been thawing nicely for years now.

Though America always saw Germany as more of a threat - they were outspokenly anti-left...
