Most Split countries during Cold war?

Phil,

Czechoslovakia doesn’t require a more successful West; it just requires Eisenhower giving approval to Patton to reach Prague first.

Patton reached Pilsen, less than 90 kilometres, 55 miles to Prague well before the Red Army was moving into Czechoslovakia. Eisenhower halted him and redirected the Third Army south; he said that Prague had ceased to have strategic value.

Patton allegedly cried like a baby over the matter.
Great, so we can do Czechoslovakia.

Now, what to do we need for Scotland? :)

That is a more successful West, no?

Maybe partitioned Turkey if it is stupid enough to join the war?

Or the West gets to Yugoslavia first and we get a partitioned Yugoslavia...

Maybe partitioned Finland? Or is that too close to the Soviet Union?

Partitioned Manchuria? We've kinda exhausted the realistic ones, I think.

Well, with a succesful Allied invasion of Norway combined with German putsch in Finland the Finnish Army fights till the bitter end together with German Army and thus Finland is occupied jointly by US-UK forces in the West and North and Soviet forces in East and South. The dividing line was drawn arbitarily between Kajaani in the Eastern Finland and Pori in Southwest Finland.

As in case of Korea, the US-UK zone (Finnish Republic with capital in Vaasa) was initially the one with lower population and living standards. Thanks to nationalist Socialist tendencies of the People's Republic the Swedish speaking minority was also extradited to Finnish Republic.

Led by President Pentti Tiusanen the People's Republic of Finland (colloquially South Finland) still survives under direct Russian support. The capital city, Helsinki, sports impressive although unfinished building projects designed to sport national ideology of Juhta (work animal). The population of approximately 2 million tries it's best to survive. People's Republic of Finland frequently challenges the international use of Märket strait between Sweden and Åland, most recent example being mining of North Finnish patrol boat Tornio with heavy loss of life.

North Korea in Europe in other words, not a pretty thought ...

I propose Romania as a divided country, suppose a successful invasion of Greece by the Allies in early 1943 resulting in Yougoslavia, Bulgaria and Southern Romania (Wallachia+Banat) in the West.

I'd say that, in addition to OTL, Austria, Norway, China (Manchuria, Xinjiang), Iran, Czechoslovakia, Japan, Poland are doable (although not simultaneously), Italy and Denmark being more-or-less ASB.
 
Im sure you could have some countries in Africa divdided. There were communist and conter-communist civil wars all over Africa in the cold war and if one of these reached stalemate you could have them divided.
e.g. Angola or Nigeria
 
I think Greece is fairly doable- communist North, capitalist (quasi-fascist) South-plus-most-of-the-islands. There are various possible borders- the most likely splits IMO would have the North's capital in Thessaloniki and the South's in Athens. If the communists do relatively well, though, they might take the mainland down to the Corinth Canal, in which case the capital of the rump South is in Patra or maybe Nafplio.
 
You really think France could be divided? I don't see the French going for that one.

Ah, but the French were not as united as they appear. Let's say D-Day is a disaster and the Soviets move further west, or that the Communist Resistance takes control in Vichy. The second one, not necessarily in Vichy, seems more likely. Then poof, France enters civil war.
