Very good for Japanese settlers, not so much for whites and everyone else. It is becoming Japanised.

Yeah, the nuke is never invented and so the USSR and the US end up fighting with conventional weapons.

The Russians won't like that at all.
A national rail operator
Set up on rail privatisation, by 1997 English Welsh & Scottish Railways (EWS) controlled 90% of the rail freight market as well as mail services and the Royal Train.
In 2001, EWS’ owners (a consortium led by North American rail company Wisconsin Central) put the company up for sale after the Smith Government was re-elected on a manifesto that included renationalisation of the railways. British Railways Holdings Ltd (BRH), a not for profit wholly owned by the British Government, was set up that year and and on 1 January 2002 bought EWS for £250m.
With the Post Office/Consignia rebrand a very recent memory, the Government quickly abandoned proposals to rename BRH ‘Cadence’. Instead, as franchises were brought back into public ownership, the EWS brand, originally limited to the freight sector, became, almost by accident, the name of the new, publically owned, British railway company - one of the Smith Government’s crowning achievements.

Challenges to Japanese Colonial Rule in East Coastal Africa: The Mau Mau Emergency Conflict

The Mau Mau Emergency Conflict (1949-1956), also known as the Mau Mau Rebellion, the Kenya War, and the Great Mau Mau Revolt, was a two-part war in the Japanese Kenya Colony (1948-1970). In the first part, the Mau Mau (dominated by the Kikuyu, Meru, and Embu peoples & also compromising of, the Kamba and Maasai peoples) fought against the British colonist-settlers in Kenya starting in 1947 and continued into 1948 when it became evident that their British colonial masters would be defeated by the Greater Japanese Empire.

In July 1948, Britain surrendered to Japan and handed over its African colonies in the north of the African continent to Japan's ally Italy and all of its Sub-saharan colonies to Japan – the first part of the war ended. At first the Mau Mau greeted the Japanese as liberators, especially when they (the Japanese) expelled all Anglos from Kenya. However, as the Japanese zaibatsu started to exploit Kenya’s natural resources (often times through the use of forced labour) and Japanese settlers started to arrive, the Mau Mau soon realised they had traded one colonial master for another.

In the Spring of 1949, the Mau Mau (who had hidden their weapons all across the countryside, which were either British-made or ironically supplied by the Japanese during its war against Britain) started to attack the Imperial Japanese Army garrisons in Kenya, the Kenya Protection Corps*, and the Imperial Japanese Colonial Security Force-Kenya** – the second part of the war had begun.

The Japanese senior commanding officer charged with defeating the Mau Mau, General Yoshijirō Umezu, initally believed the insurgency to be totally disorganised....he was proven wrong with the Mau Mau coordinating ambushes and raids against the Japanese with quick deadly efficiency. Towards the end of the rainy season in 1953, the Mau Mau launched a coordinated large scale attack on nearly all of the colony's major cities – this caught the Japanese completely off guard, allowing the insurgents to make serious gains (albeit temporary for the Japanese never again underestimated the Mau Mau after the 1953 Rainy Season Offensive and were able to reverse their enemies' gains).

The conflict would be noted for its extreme nastiness: the Mau Mau and Japanese both executing POWs, atrocities against civilians committed by both factions not being unheard of (the Mau Mau had a particularly cruel method of slowly killing Japanese settlers by hanging them on trees from their skin to scare off Japanese soldiers, while the Japanese would commit massacres of entire villages suspected of harbouring Mau Mau), and the Japanese usage biochemical weapons against the rebels, sympathisers, and native Kenyans being not all that uncommon either.

The conflict would end when the leadership of the Mau Mau was finally located and killed by a group of mysterious assassins.

Even the dog is blond.
I found this to be genuinely unsettling.
