TL-191: After the End

Why didn't Bharat annex the area of the former Pakistan when it collapsed?

The Bharati government never intended to pursue the annexation of Pakistan, although Bharat did claim the entirety of Kashmir and pursue other border “readjustments” during the Pakistani Dissolution.

The Bharatis, prior to the Pakistani Dissolution, were also supporters of secessionist movements in what ultimately became the Republic of Balochistan and the Republic of Sindh.
 
Has there been a Third Great War by 2162?

There has not been a Third Great War by 2162. Whatever the rivalries between the great powers and the major alliance systems, a repetition of the world’s disastrous early 20th Century was something that different world leaders consciously attempted to avoid.
 
Also, why didn’t TTL’s Hubert Humphrey run for a fourth term? What if he did?

If Humphrey had run for a fourth presidential term in 1972, he would have lost. The primary reason that he ran for a third term was due to the Fourth Pacific War. As it was, the Socialist Party actually lost seats in Congress during the 1968 elections, even as they held the presidency.

Humphrey didn’t run for a fourth term because he and his closest political advisors knew that the US public would be wary of a president attempting to stay in power indefinitely, given what had happened in the former CSA under Featherston. The Humphrey administration also knew that winning a major war was no guarantee of winning a postwar election, as Theodore Roosevelt had learned in 1920 and Charles LaFollette had learned in 1944.

Humphrey, by the end of his third term in office, was also facing health issues.
 
What is the status of Belgium in 2021 and 2162?
Did they remain as a puppet of Germany or eventually became independent?
and how about Poland, Ukraine, Belarus etc. Are they still under the influence of Germany?

By 2021, Belgium has been annexed into the German Empire. The status of Belgium has not changed by 2162.

The Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Belarus, and the Kingdom of Ukraine are still under German and Austro-Hungarian influence by 2021, and are closely allied politically with both Berlin and Vienna through the European Community and a network of mutual defense treaties.

Annexation of Belgium seems bit unlikely. Had even OTL Kaiserreich such plans? And Belgians hardly are willingful to join to Germany even if it gets much of autonomy.

Kaiserreich Germany isn't really a good comparison to go with. Annesation is always possible, but it depends on circumstances. For examples, if there was a large movement of Germans into Belgium, with Belgians being kicked out, it would be possible for it to happen.
 
What is the staus of UK and France in 2021 ITTL

By 2021, France and the United Kingdom work together diplomatically as their own bloc within the European Community, and are moving towards mutual economic integration under EC auspices. The political leadership in both Paris and London promotes all joint Anglo-French initiatives and policies as efforts to further European integration.

The Germans and Austro-Hungarians are wary at the emergence of an Anglo-French bloc within the EC. The Germans and Austro-Hungarians are also concerned at the possibility of the British and French working with other EC members, such as the Portuguese Federation, Spain, and the Italian Empire, to forge an allied “Western” bloc within the EC capable of undermining the long-standing political hegemony in Europe of both Berlin and Vienna, however unlikely such a development may actually be.

It admittedly is not the most likely of scenarios, but was ultimately the outcome in a world where the German Empire had fought two devastating wars on a Western Front, the second of which after being attacked and invaded by the French and British.
 
In the spirit of this week's holiday, what the status of Thanksgiving ITTL? Does it become a national holiday via different circumstances, or does it only remain a regional holiday in the Northeast? Do the former Canadian provinces still celebrate their variation or has it been replaced?

By 2021, Thanksgiving is a national US holiday. There are no regional differences as to when it is celebrated.
