Reverse Cold War-An Orignal, Non-cliched Timeline

And an infobox on the Second American Revolution from alt. Wikipedia:

I like the idea of a reverse Cold War, and I can accept the butterfly net (although the Great Depression is pushing it :p ) but I would really like some more detail. Could you expand the updates or something? Or when you're done with it, go back and make it far more detailed? I'd really like to be able to spend a long time reading it :)

Thanks. I admit I've been a bit America-centric, which might get confusing, but I'm working on the European and Russian parts right now. I might go back and add more detail later, though

Why was British Australasia;

1. Taken by the US when there is a French Colony right next to it.

2. Not break away when the US had it's revolution.

Reasons:
1. The French already took a lot of British and German colonies, and were unable to take too many more, which is why some of the colonies were freed or given to third parties(India, for example). Australia was seen as too pro-British to be freed.
2. Australia is under American administration, and is legally unable to become independent without the consent of the government of the United States or its successor state
3. It leads up to something I'm planning for the Cold War

1. Ok that kind makes sense, almost.

2. You missed my point. There is no more America. It no longer exists. The civil war went on for 4 years.

Did the American forces in Australia agree? Did the Aussies not rise up at all?

Why did it not become a 'Taiwan' of this tl? Why did it not break away? Russia lost Finland as well as some Baltic States. So why does the US not lose any land? Even the parts that were recently conquered?

Also.

What is with the DUTCH EAST INDIES, with Holland being occupied by France?

You know what, I've changed my mind. East Australia did break away. I'll be posting an updated map soon.

Let me question this: Why is Joe Steele in a majority of all the socialist US timelines? I know that Turtledove's a major influence here, but I don't think Joe Steele needs to pop up in (almost) every timeline that he can worm his way in to.

Interesting. I like how you have an end result in the modern day but a POD going over a century back. Usually don't see this. Good job.:D

Also you seem good at taking criticism so kudos
