Second American Civil War

This is part of wider timeline so i have to show some additional changes:
- in 1930 in Mexico won Cristeros and established integralistic , conservative dictatorship.
- in 1936 in europe started war against Germany afrer Remilitarization of the Rhineland.

So main timeline to Second American Civil War.
- On February 15, 1933 in Miami, Florida, Giuseppe Zangara killed Roosevelt.
- That murder caused next stock market crash and anarchists demonstriations (Zangara became hero)
- Although Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution Hoover decided that he have to be president untill calm the situation
- The deepening depression and Hoover actions led to massive domonstrations in whole country. Communist agitators try to use situation.
- Six months after assasination to Detroit came Leon Trotsky this was signal to thousands communist activists to start revolution. They led workers and the poory on National Guard armory. They started taking controll over main fatories and cities.
- Govermant was shocked. Uncoordinated attacks gave no effect. Similar actions occured in Canada. Communists from both countries cooperated each others.
- The worst situation was in Rust Belt and North-East Coast. Many communists from Europe started coming to USA and Canada to support revolution.
- USSR started send commisars and equipment on West Coast where grow stalinist communists.
- In October revolutionists were close to Washington, D.C. Herbert Hoover with part of United States Congress escaped to Atlanta , rest with John Nance Garner who called himself constiutional presidend left to Dallas.
- On South army supported by National Guard and local militia (consist mainly of radical right organisations) controled the situation. South States became base to counterrevolution. On south came many radicals like William Dudley Pelley whose Silver Legion started grow very fastly.
- In Texas John N. Garner started organize Texan Voluntary Army (ofc not only Texans joined)
- In Quebec french speekers organized catholic militia which stopped revolutionists and took control over whole Quebec.
- All sides used 1933/34 winter to preparing.

This is first part of timeline. Im opened for suggestions and constructive criticism.
 
So the main question is how many nations will North America split into. I think you have ten: a Northeastern conservative republic out of Boston (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT), a Mid-Atlantic coalition out of Philadelphia or New York City (NY, NJ, PA, MD, DE, OH?, WV?), a Great Lakes republic/Commune out of Chicago (IL, WI, IN, MI, MN?, OH?), a Midwestern farmer's/Socialist republic out of Omaha or Wichita (ND, SD, NE, IA, KS, OK?, MO?, MN?), a Mountain West (Libertarian) government out of Cheyenne or Denver (CO, WY, MY, ID?), a Mormon state out of Salt Lake City (UT, NE?, southern ID? western CO?), a Cascadian republic out of Portland or Seattle (WA, OR, ID? northernmost CA?), a California republic out of Monterrey or San Francisco (CA, NE?, southern OR?, AZ), a (Greater) Texan republic (NM, TX, OK?, LA?, AR?), and some sort of loose coalition of Southern states out of Birmingham, New Orleans, or maybe a compromise city like Chattanooga (AR?, LA?, MS, AL, GA, FL, TN, KY, NC, SC, VA, WV? MO?). I don't know how to put a map up but that might be a start for what factions are most likely to appear IMO.

Hoover would still have to step down since he is no longer President and the Vice-President Elect will become the next US President. Hoover also knows that he has lost the support of the country and that the incoming Congress will not be friendly.
 
You referred to the Great Lakes region as the "Rust Belt"? Shut down due to the Depression, but there was nothing rusting in the factories that were to become the "Arsenal of Democracy".:rolleyes:

The winning Democratic candidate (and SCOTUS) would tear Hoover a new one from the get-go.

I used that term only as geographical one.

I know that. It is reason of partition in congres and society. On the other hand it is interesting that this Amendment apeared month before attempt on President Elect. I forgot wrtie about JN Garner President oath in Dallas.
So the main question is how many nations will North America split into
In short term on 4/5 but finally will stay one. Most important is intervention by third countries.

Second part.
- Spring was time of counterrevolutionists offensive which stucked in May. Main reason was lack of cooperation bacause some militias didnt recognize Hoover.
- In April Stalinists proclaimed Union of North American Soviet Socialist States (UNASSS). They controlled coasts of British Columbia , Oregon and Washington.
- In june Trotskists started great counteroffensive , Leon Trotsky used his experience in Red Army building , industry and 'international support' to make strong army. The most famous was first revolution cavalry regiment equiped in christie tanks. (commies controll factory).
- Great Britain needed time to organize army to halp Canada and USA but started sending equipment and military advisers.
- When 'Reds' had initiative in war Japan declared war on USA. Unfortunately Japan ambassador escaped with Garner to Dallas when Pacific Fleet were loyal on Hoover so they didnt know anythink.
[Here is question on UK reaction when it dont have forces to react in America not to meantion about war against Japan].
- In August Garner started 'Great March on North'.

I don't think there would be any partition, Hoover is out. No one will really support him, there is no constitutional way Hoover can stay on.

Actually it is NOT interesting that this Amendment appeared a month before the attempt on the life of the President Elect, it is interesting - and far more correct that with the passage of the Amendment it should be tested so quickly.

Pretty much your ATL is a nonstarter.
 
So i have to back to my orginal version. Which is little less thought.
(Changes are bold)

So main timeline to Second American Civil War.

- In accordance with the Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution Vice President Elect John Nancy Garner became president.
- The deepening depression and redical left organisations actions led to massive domonstrations in whole country. Communist agitators try to use situation.
- Six months after assasination to Detroit came Leon Trotsky this was signal to thousands communist activists to start revolution. They led workers and the poory on National Guard armories. They started taking controll over main fatories and cities.
- Govermant was shocked. Uncoordinated attacks gave no effect. Similar actions occured in Canada. Communists from both countries cooperated each others.
- The worst situation was in Factory Belt and North-East Coast. Many communists from Europe started coming to USA and Canada to support revolution.
- USSR started send commisars and equipment on West Coast where grow stalinist communists.
-In October revolutionists were close to Washington, D.C. John Nance Garner evacuated govermant and main staff to Dallas.

Second part.
- Spring was time of counterrevolutionists offensive which stucked in May. Main reason was lack of cooperation bacause some militias wanted to be independent.
- In April Stalinists proclaimed Union of North American Soviet Socialist States (UNASSS). They controlled coasts of British Columbia , Oregon and Washington.
- In june Trotskists started great counteroffensive , Leon Trotsky used his experience in Red Army building , industry and 'international support' to make strong army. The most famous was first revolution cavalry regiment equiped in christie tanks. (commies controll his factory).
- Great Britain needed time to organize army to help Canada and USA but started sending equipment and military advisers.
- When 'Reds' had initiative in war Japan declared war on USA. Pacific fleet was alone . Bacause Garner was unable to send them any help.
[Here is question on UK reaction when it dont have forces to react in America not to meantion about war against Japan].
- In July in Bannas Republics in central america started riots. Civil war stopped export to USA and fruit companies didnt send money to controlled govermants which lost controll. Next factor was Mexico agitation to liberate Latin Americans.
- In August Mexican army invades Central America to 'Liberate Latin America'. Supported by rebels fastly took controll. Before winter Mexicans controlled Panama Canal.
