The other day I was helping a friend of mine install some software. To do so, we needed to make some space by deleted unused documents. In this process, I came across this document. My friend doesn't remember what it was from, but told me I could keep a copy of it just for the hell of it.
I'm not really looking for criticism or anything, nor do I plan to do anything with this. Honestly, I'm just posting this one for fun.
-Mexico invades the US in 1917, preventing US involvement in the European war.
-Mexico easily defeated after a few months of fighting. Part or all of Mexico annexed. US feels like hot shit.
-Europe: War stretches on into 1920 as interminable stalemate and war of attrition. Allies surrender literally as Central Powers consider doing the same. End to fighting negotiated, Germany keeps colonies, Kaiser stays on throne, Austria-Hungary keeps it together. Both sides broken economically and physically.
-White Russians win Russian Civil War, autocracy.
-1923: Revolution in Ottoman Empire results in world’s first communist state, Red Turkey.
-1930: US annexes rest of Mexico for the hell of it. International response is limited to a few angry letters.
-30s: As Europe slowly recovers, US and Japan both become aggressively expansionist powers. US trade and military missions set up in China, which declares itself a US ally.
-1938: Argentina and Brazil, and a few smaller South American nations, line up with US.
-1944: US invades Canada, starting WWII.
