The Alternate History question is always if the USSR never dissolved, but what if the great superpower dissolved at an earlier point when communism hadn't died in Europe?



This map has a lot going on, so let me explain.

Why is Ireland communist?
Ireland fell to communism in 1996, due to a coup staged partially by the New Warsaw Pact.

Why did Austria Split Up?
Austria was largely influenced by communism in the East, so instead of going through a civil war, they simply split up.

Where is Yugoslavia?
Yugoslavia broke up because of its' cultural differences like it did in real life, splitting up in different ways. Albania went through a democratic revolution.

Why are Turkey and Greece communist?
Unlike Albania, they couldn't take the pressure of being surrounded by the Eastern Bloc and fell to communism in the early 90s.

Why did Germany never unify?
Germany unified in 1989, but the USSR dissolved at an earlier time.

Why is Russia part democratic?
The southern part of Russia went through a revolution similar to Albania's

How did all these countries stay communist?
In this world, the USSR dissolved, and a new type of communism was born that let the people have more of a say in government, and some better rights. Other than that, it is similar to Marxism.



This is my first Alternate History, so it totally sucks! If you want to tell me how I can improve, reply to this thread saying why. Thanks for reading!
