Sounds good.

Do you think any major political movement would call for a United Ireland after all this? Or would people be too tired of secetarian divisions and wars that you'd see a general ceasefire on that front?
I think there would. However, it wouldn't gain as much traction as it previously would.
I also imagine that NI is extremely Protestant here, possibly over 75-80%, and there is little to no way an effort at forced annexation wouldn't be extremely bloody.

I feel as though what happened in Calcutta post-independence would happen somewhere in post-Apartheid Ireland.

54: Mexico and the Sahara War
In the postwar era Mexico experienced a period of rapid economic growth. While they had not exited the war with large spheres of influence like other major powers, Mexico had established economic and significant political ties around the world. Compared to the bombed-out European nations, Mexico’s industrial capacity was intact, and the demand for Mexican goods fueled the Mexican economy for many years to come. In addition, the waves of refugees and displaced persons coming from Europe further bolstered Mexico’s population and expanded its workforce.Mexico’s comparatively small sphere of influence, which consisted of only democratic countries, all of which were in Latin America (Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela), began to grow significantly following the Second World War. Most notably, Mexico took advantage of the growing trends of decolonization, which was exploding violently in the Spanish Sahara Protectorate. While this represented a powerful force of Decolonization at this time, Mexico did not support the uprising, because of its communist nature, and how the primary supplier of weapons and goods to the rebels was the Workers’ Union. From 1952 till 1955 this conflict raged, largely because the rebels understood the weakness of the Spanish government-in-exile.

Next update will probably be on the decolonization of India, unless there is another area you guys would rather have me cover.

Unfortunately I've been quite bogged down with the next update, and may have bitten off more than I can chew. I'm going to split it into several parts to make it more manageable.
As the British government cracked down with increasing brutality on many peaceful resistance movements within the Empire, many colonial subjects discontent with Britain’s rule turned to more violent means to fight the Empire. This radicalization was orchestrated by communist forces with the backing from the Worker’s Union, who ensured that these newly formed guerrilla groups had a distinctly communist ideology. Thus, especially in Britain's largest colony, India, resistance movements became almost entirely communist.
As part of the increasing decentralization of colonial rule as part of postwar Britain’s “divide and conquer” philosophy of maintaining control over their empire, the system of Princely States within India was greatly expanded to neutralize Indian nationalist movements. This also served to empower various ethnic nationalists within the subcontinent, who ultimately came to support the British against the communist forces who desired an United India.
The only area where this expansion of the Princely States did not apply was the North-Western Provinces, where British control was becoming so tenuous that they could not effectively transfer control to a collaborationist government. In southern India, as well as Malaya, the British government created special administrative zones, that were much more tightly integrated with the British homeland. Indians living in these areas had better rights and opportunities than those living outside the special administrative zones. As a result, the communist movement in these areas was not as strong.
Alongside the special administrative zones, there was also the Burmese Union, which was a loose economic union and confederation of the Burmese princely states. The standard of living in these areas was also better than in the rest of the Raj. Or, at least they were before the beginning of the Indian Civil War.

55: The Indian Civil War - Part 1
In the postwar era an increasing sense of desperation began to grow within the United Kingdom. This sense of desperation was caused by growing decolonization movements around the globe, particularly the ones in British colonies. The fear of losing the Empire became an increasingly real concern, which lead to more aggressive, nationalistic, and semi-authoritarian policies being pursued by the British Empire. This was first exhibited in Ireland, but ultimately had consequences across the globe.As the British government cracked down with increasing brutality on many peaceful resistance movements within the Empire, many colonial subjects discontent with Britain’s rule turned to more violent means to fight the Empire. This radicalization was orchestrated by communist forces with the backing from the Worker’s Union, who ensured that these newly formed guerrilla groups had a distinctly communist ideology.

Great to see this timeline back again! I read this timeline about four months ago and I was so hooked on the story that I read all of what was the timeline up to the that point in less than two weeks. I really enjoyed reading this timeline and its now one of my favorite timelines and stories on this board. I also really enjoyed reading about the alternate world wars of this world and I'm also really excited to read about the rest of this alternate 20th century. Keep up the good work!
Judging by whats going on in India, I imagine that after the end of this civil war a lot of blood will be shed and there will be a lot of new and independent nations on the Indian subcontinent.
Two questions;
Are we getting an update on South America soon?
Also, I think that Communist Iberia should have Galician and Austurian autonomous republics. I cannot see a reason as to why Catalonia and the Basque Country become autonomous republics but not Galicia and Austurias, as both regions have their own languages and cultures just like Catalonia and the Basque Country.

Thanks guys! I didn't realize people liked it so much! I'll try to increase the rate I am writing!
You're completely right, I changed the update to reflect that, as well as altering all the subsequent maps.
