So here's the scenario I'd like check and ask about:
  1. With a late 1916 PoD, the CP win WWI in early 1917, which leads to...
  2. a "Cold War" between the British and German Empires in the subsequent decade(s). My question:
  3. How does this context affect the overseas colonies in general, and British India in particular?
    • Does Britain clamp down harder on independence and home rule movements, making independence less likely?
    • Or does the prolonged great power rivalry give a boost to anti-colonial organizations, leading to earlier decolonization and independence?
    • Or does the dynamic look like something else entirely?
((1) is based on threads and conversations from earlier this year, while (2) is something I see crop up quite a lot. If both of those work, I'd like the focus to be on (3).)
