Reverse Cold War-An Orignal, Non-cliched Timeline
- Thread starter Superman
- Start date
In Europe, a defeated Germany and Great Britain were humiliated by the Allied forces of the United States, France and Russia, and pin their hopes on fascist leaders Oswald Mosley and Adolf Hitler to return them to a position of power. Deliberately violating the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler and Mosley secretly start rebuilding up the British and German militaries. To distract and weaken France, Mosley and Hitler assist nationalist fascist groups in Spain and Italy, led by Francisco Franco and Benito Mussolini, by rallying up the populace and supplying them with weapons. Meanwhile, in Russia, President Igor Rusbarkat attempts to drag his country out of the Depression by using government bailouts to save businesses and jobs, and continues the transition from having a farming-based economy to having an industrialized one. Rusbarkat’s reforms cause Russia to experience a sharp rise in their economic growth. However, he refuses to recognize the United People’s Republic of America as the legitimate government of America, and continues to recognize the government-in-exile of the USA, based in Moscow.

Yes, France is weakened a lot by the rebellions and WWII, allowing Russia to become the democratic superpower. I'm not sure which one Malaya is, but Britain lost all of its colonies because of WWI, and the orange archipelago country in SE Asia is Indonesia
Thanks. I've had to use a pretty big butterfly net, but I hope you'll like the WWII I'm writing right now. I'll put it up as soon as it's done, but it'll probably be up in pieces. Otherwise, it would be one long post
The beginning of World War II:
_______In Europe, Hitler and Mosley coordinate their plans to return to their former glory. Mosley and the British invade Ireland, while at the same time, Hitler and the Germans invade Poland. With France being too busy with its own rebels to stop them, Russia is the only one that can stop them. However, President Rusbarkat, while he denounces the fascists’ attempt to take over Europe, is determined to stay neutral in such a conflict, not wanting to drag Russia back down into another Depression caused by a world war.
_______Meanwhile, back in America, Premier Browder dies from “mysterious causes”. General Secretary Joe Steele ascends to the throne…oops, I mean, the position. By using the remnant Blues as a scapegoat, Steele declares a state of emergency and assumes total control over the UPRA. By removing some “nonessential” freedoms, Steele orders the redistribution of resources to where they are most needed and/or useful, as well as sending the most skilled workers off to factories, but “justly compensating” them and building up the American armed forces. Dissatisfied workers, rebels and capitalists are sent off to prisons in northern Canada. The UPRA also declares its neutrality in this conflict.
_______The Empire of Japan is making gains in China, helped by the civil war between the Imperialists and the Russian-backed Republicans. It has also invaded the northern part of the French Philippines. It is preparing for war with France and Russia, but does not consider America a threat

Thanks, and I retconned it, so that East Australia did break away. I thought of a different way of making Australia a Cold War event
Malaya is Britain's South East Asian Colony, right below Thailand and next to The Dutch East Indies (now called Indonesia). Singapore is also there and is considered a major port in otl, I could see France occupying it. Also in your post WW1 map you still had it as British.
In Otl when Holland was occupied by France Britain occupied DEI, you showed some of that happening in one map, but the next one had it orange, even though Holland no longer exists. If it were independent it may not stay united. So how did that happen?
Indonesia stayed united in OTL, so why not here? And the orange now represents Indonesia, because Holland is now part of France. After WWI, Indonesia became independent. Hope that answers you question
In OTL Indonesia became independent in 1949, here it seems to just happen. In OTL when the French occupied Holland the British Occupied the DEI, did something similar happen here?
Also after WW1 Indonesia became independent from who? On your maps it just has OTL then you get rid of British Malaya and make it all Indonesia, I don't doubt that the OTL Indonesia government in the 70's would have done that if it could have, but how did it happen here? Did they fight in the war? Why were they not taken over by anyone?
The British occupied the DEI. It became independent from them after WWI. Hope that answers your question
_______The year is 1941. The German army has over-run the western part of Poland, forcing President Rusbarkat to declare war on Germany. The Russian Army enters Poland, at the request of the Polish government, and meets the German troops at Lodz, beginning Russian involvement in the war. Meanwhile, Japan has conquered the Philippine Islands, and is advancing through China, where the Civil War is heating up. In France, the Spanish and Italian rebellions have become de facto independent, controlling all of the Iberian and Italian peninsulas. Facing increasing pressure from the Germans and British, France is forced to recognize an independent Spain. Britain easily conquers Ireland and the Faroe Islands, as Germany heads through northern France into Denmark. As France falls to the invading British, Spanish, German and Italian armies, Quebec is left isolated and without help. It is forced to allow British and German soldiers to land and turn it into a German puppet.
-------In America, Premier Steele has divided the states into Commonwealths based on size, to make redistribution of resources easier, knowing that certain Commonwealths will be too busy fighting amongst one another to rise up against the government. Steele is determined to stay neutral in this conflict, believing that America is not yet ready for another world war. However, the Japanese are wary of America’s presence in the Pacific, and in an attempt to cripple its Navy, attack Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, bringing America into the war.
