War makes for Strange Bedfellows – A Second World War timeline

Had never heard about a Turkish ultimatum, do you know where I can read about that?
LOOK INTO THE FUTURE (1)
Just something new I thought I'd add to the timeline. Please comment about what you think.
Jonathon stared down at the exam paper he’d just written his name on. “20th Century Cold War”, he thought. “So long as they don’t ask about Chile or Angola, I should be fine.”
“You have two-and-a-half hours. Your time starts now. Good luck everyone”, announced the invigilator.
Jonathon opened his paper to the first question, the source question, these ones always bored him.
“Fuck!”, thought Jonathon. “Oh well, let’s look at the essay questions on the back, see if they’re any better.”
“Hmm...ok. This should be alright”, thought Jonathon, the end of his pen pressed firmly in between his teeth as he read. “I’ll do essays 2 and 4, then do the Chile question. I got this.”

01) With reference to the sources and your understanding of the historical context, assess the value of these three sources to an historian studying the Chilean Crisis of 1975. [30 marks]
“Fuck!”, thought Jonathon. “Oh well, let’s look at the essay questions on the back, see if they’re any better.”
02) “American foreign policy towards Latin America in the years 1947 to 1955 was driven primarily by economic concerns.” Assess the validity of this view.
[25 marks]
03) “Lausche’s policy of “Forward Containment” was the primary reason behind the increased Cold War tensions in the years 1961 to 1975.” Assess the validity of this view.
[25 marks]
04) To what extent was there a significant reduction in Cold War tensions in the years 1977 to 1989?

It's a specific word for watching over an exam.
An alternative might be examiner.
If Inonu has the sense he had shown in democratizing Turkey, He will try to acknowledge the genocide it was Talaat's doing, and make an attempt to make peace with Armenia, which may bolt from Russia's embrace.
Armenia as of 1940 was a Soviet Republic and part of the USSR, so all foreign relations would be handled by the Kremlin.
I've just had some thoughts? What of the Soviet spies in Britain during the Second World War? Would they still be operating as they did in our world or would they be discovered?
Considering how they went undiscovered for decades operating inside the country, I could definitely see that while some are captured most would be smart and experienced enough to avoid being caught.
I know but India, the INA (the Indian national army to be precise)
The INA was the the 50,000 strong group of Indian soldiers that Subhash Chandra Bose assembled as part of his provisional government.
In OTL, Bose was eager to work with both Germany and the USSR. However, after Germany launched operation Barbarossa, Bose lost key support as Germany was now distracted.
Therefore, with German help he made his way to Japan and and formed his army. To be honest the INA did fight battles, however, it failed to inspire revolt due to the failure of the Axis powers. In OTL the British did view him as a threat as the censored all news on the INA.
Bose was extremely popular among Indians, of all subdivisions.
A mass revolt was possible, if the war was going bad the British would likely see revolts, as seen in the Andaman Nicobar islands.
Indians were deeply frustrated with British rule and its isn't unlikely, however, the British have to be losing battles. Bose deeply admired how Germany, Italy and the USSR were all alternatives to imperialism
I'd recommend an Indian front, (I'm begging you, don't make it a religious war simply keep it Indian vs Brit. A lot of mappers on YouTube make this mistake. Bose was popular and the Hindu-Muslim divide was irrelevant until 1947)
It's worth noting that if there is an indepence war, that is fairly likely to butterfly 1947.
Their is no way that the British could hold out when they are outnumbered 100 to 1.
My point is that if there is an independence war, it's entirely plausible it butterflies the Muslim/Hindu split.
if no Pakistan, then what happens to the Princely states? Not all of them would settle for A Nerhu dominated nation.
