Why did Pakistan collapse?
What is that small state south of Afghanistan?
What is that medium sized country south of that small state?
Why did Iran annex Azerbaijan?
Why did the BJP decide to give Jammu & Kashmir more autonomy, when one of their more consistent demands is to repeal all autonomy? Kind of like Trump pushing for open borders.
Why did Kazakhstan annex some of Uzbekistan? Is there some rivalry I haven't heard of?
Why are India and China suddenly good friends?

To kick off the new year, here's another map from the TL-verse now to be known as E Pluribus Unum, this time showing the dominant linguistic communities in TTL's United States.

-First Amendment to the United States Constitution
The Language Clause is a segment in the First Amendment added in the early days of the republic to satisfy the concerns of French-speaking Canadiens and Acadians fearing for the loss of their culture and heritage. In effect, the clause prohibits the federal government from setting an official language throughout the entire country (a situation that would've imposed English, as the dominant language spoken by the majority of its citizens, at the expense of others), allowing each state to set their own language policies. Over the next two hundred years, as the United States has expanded across the continent to reach its present-day borders, immigrants from all over the world (especially in Europe during the 19th and early 20th century) continued to pour in, bringing their languages with them. This trend still continues to this day, especially with the rise of Hispanic immigration in cities like NYC, Chicago, Montréal, etc.
In practice, while the federal government has no official language, English, French, and Russian (as the three most widely-spoken languages in the country) are most often used in official proceedings, as well as being used in broadcast media and other contexts. Overall, French is official in two states (Canada and Nova Scotia) and Russian in five (Yukon, Alaska, Kodiak, Kenai, and New Russia). In the Midwest, German continues to be spoken by small pluralities in Dakota and Absaroka, while Minnesotan (a creole of the various Scandinavian languages that has since branched off into its own tongue) has official status in its namesake. Meanwhile, the various Native American languages continue to be spoken by the various communities, though it is more broadly spoken in the northern territories.

PoD - Alexander II survives in 1881. Continues liberal policy, adopts the constitution. "Bread Revolution" occurs in 1892. Russia becomes a dualistic monarchy. Petrograd wins in the Russian-Japanese war with great difficulty. Tokyo becomes a satellite of London. Russia is conducting military reforms. The First World War begins in 1913 and ends in 1916 with the victory of the Entente. The post-war economic crisis is causing the socialist revolution in France and the United States. The Russian Fascist Party seizes power in 1926. The Russo-British confrontation in Asia is intensifying. Britain enters into an alliance with Germany, Italy and Japan in order to preserve the European civilization from threats from the west and east. Socialist France, USSA, Spain and fascist Russia form their alliance. In 1938 the Second World War begins. This ends with a victory parade in London, Berlin, Rome and Tokyo.
The Cold War of the United Socialist States and the Russian Empire began in 1943.
