Along with the Poles and the Romanians, I see.
Think a Persian Meiji would extend a bit further into NW Afghanistan?
So were nukes never invented in this TL, or did alien space bats steal them in 1969?
-1 GermanwankThe map was originally going to be set in the 1890's, so I forgot to give some of those territories statehood when I changed the date.
Arizona*, New Mexico*, Montana*, NW Texas* and the Indian Territory would probably remain territories by TTL's 1920's.

Here's a tip; you shouldn't have any country that's the same colour as the water on your map, let alone multiple countries like that.
Next installment in the "It Started Here" universe. Featuring the Winter War, 5 years after the Peace by Exhaustion.

Fewments. Using WMDs if things weren't going well was official war-fighting policy of both sides. Soviet policy favored WMDs of the chemical sort right from the start. Even in a limited central European conflict it would be difficult to avoid the use of nuclear weapons. An extended conflict with no use of nukes ending in the breakup of the USSR is either ASB or an astoundingly brilliant piece of AH focused on possibly but highly unlikely sequences of events - and if you want me to believe this is the second, you had better show your work.
EDIT: what MAD was supposed to accomplish was prevent WWIII from breaking out at all. If it did, that nukes would be used was pretty much taken as a forgone conclusion.
Thanks. This took - apart from the research and the labeling - most of the work and time. Really wanted to get it to look old, but at the end i was going along with my old habits - as you said, quite a mix of old and modern look.
yes
But why does Germany have "Greater Germany" borders inside of the USSR? Why does the USSR own a few pieces of land in Africa? Is that a Sapmi state?
It looks more like the Reich has become socialist and replaced the USSR. There are those reichskommissariat borders in the european part of Russia.
The USSR doesn't exist.
Nazi Germany is in dark red, members of the Axis are in red.
And that's Greater Finland.
