So this map:
was accidentally put in a Danish history textbook. What POD(s) could be done to make it real. I think some effects of this would be a weaker Soviet Union, and that it would have turned into a liberal democracy earlier than 1988 (the year it reformed through nationwide vote OTL), and Germany looks like it could have reunified earlier than 1986 (the year it did OTL). Besides there being less communist states, Russia Germany, and the Balkan Federation (or Yugoslavia prior to 1945) all look smaller. Anyway. I think this looks interesting.
