"It's like 1812 - but in 1940"
"I am speaking to you from the Cabinet Room at 10, Downing Street. This morning the British Ambassador in Washington handed the American Government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11.00 a.m. that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Canada, a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country and its Empire is now at war with the United States of America."
- Neville Chamberlin. September 3rd, 1939.
This is Mark II of my
Plus 130 timeline. I've tried to clear up a few problems from the last draft, such as giving the american facist party its own name, and explaining what exactly happened to America's aluminium stockpiles. As before, this starts out as Britain VS America, before degrading into a properly disorganised WWII.
Mark I can be found
here.
PS: Oh yes, and just in case anyone brings this up: In the OTL, America went from a second rate power struggling with debt and resconstruction and the collapse of agriculture on the great plains, to a nuclear super power
in just 4 years. How exactly do you define 'ASB' in that context?
