Wait, what’s this?

This was inspired by my previous timeline with a similar premise. If you haven’t read it, this timeline going to show the effects of a communist uprising in Indonesia during the 1960s, which in our timeline was prevented down thanks to a certain General Suharto. What I want to explore is a world where the Communist Party of Indonesia manages to organize an uprising, forcing the army and Islamist groups to rise up as well, to suppress said uprising. Eventually, this conflict leads to a very different Cold War and ends up having far-reaching effects across the world.

So why do you want to reboot this thing?

Looking at my previous work, I can see that there are some issues. For example, you’ve got the weird pacing issues. The inconsistent writing. The historical inaccuracies. The fact that basically every post makes no sense when put together. So yeah, there were some issues.

What makes you think that you’ll do any better this time around?

After writing alternate history for a while, I can say that I've become somewhat more experienced than I was two years ago. This time around, I’m trying to make sure that I have something resembling an outline for my timeline before I start it. And also, I’ll make sure I do some research before I start writing instead of editing it in later.

Is this going to cover just Indonesia?

No, not really. The problem with my last one was that I didn’t really focus on America or China until the last minute, but I’ll be sure to fix that this time around. Expect to see some chapters covering the White House, the Kremlin, or Bejing. So sit back, relax, and enjoy some music as we enter the Thousand Emeralds of the Equator, Indonesia.
