What if the 1949 economic boom never happened? (Alt-histroy scenario detailing alternate history of world and etc)

Notice

Sorry for the long title lmao, also I might make this into a general multiple alt-histroy page

=explaining this scenario and other stuff= In 1949 due to a good post-war economy the west was able to compete fairly with the east with lead to the equal footing we saw during the cold war. But what if that didn't happen? What if instead of a booming economy in 1949, everything returned to 1929 and capitalism almost crumbled, new nations were formed, old ones died out and some grew even stronger. This is The Bright Red Sun.

stuff/writing
The way I'm writing this is I'm going decade by decade telling a part of the story then telling the rest of the story through the experience of certain countries.

=intro= In the year 2280 we are able to see into entirely different realities and dimensions. Today and for whoever knows how long we'll be peering in to one universe different from ours. We start in 1949! =World history=

The Beginning
In 1949 the second great depression began. as with the first great depression, this caused a ripple effect which once again collapsed the economies of several countries.

With this it seemed that the City upon a hill was quickly tipping over that very hill.

The city falling down the hill
As the economy collapsed contrary to what the economist said, everyone know they were lying or ignorant. Millions lost their jobs with the unemployment sky rocketing to 30 million and many more lost their homes or whatever they owned. The united states had the highest unemployment rate in human history. With this happening, it's no wonder what happened next

Germany (1950)
In 1950 after months of protesting a referendum was held that would decide whether to reunite germany or not. In August after an 83% majority in favor of reunification, Germany was unified under the German democratic republic.

Canada (1950)
In the 1949 canadian general elections tim buck's Communist party got second place winning 130 seats just behind the liberal party with 140 seats. The Communist party accused the liberals of election fraud and with the new found strength of the Communist party they protested the results of the election lasting the rest of 1949 until early 1950 where riots turn into a mass Revolution across the country from april 12th 1950 until September 9th 1951.

In November of 1949 protests began in Canada which lead to a full blown revolution lead by Communist politician Tim buck. In September of 1951 the Canadian People's Republic was declared. With the declaration of the People's Republic this subsequently caused a blow to the British Empire inspiring other revolutions against the British in Africa and less successful ones in Australia and a bloodless revolution in New Zealand.

Korea (1951)
The Korean war lasted only from 1951 until 1952 in which Western powers tried but failed miserably to assist the rok. The southern forces assisted by the west failed with the commnad structure of the military falling apart leading to many pro-dprk mutinies against the rok military. The failure of western forces in korea just proved people right that the west was a sick old man on death's doorstep desperately trying find distraction from it's inevitable fall.

In 1952 the war was won by the north with the rok military officially surrendering in August of 1952. This lead to a strong Korea Unified under Juche.

France (1951)
In 1951 French communist Maurice Thorez and the PCF won all the elections but was later overthrown by a military coup which would establish charles de Gaulle as president turning it into a military dictatorship under him until his death in 1970.

UK (1951)
During the second great depression the British upper class wanted to prevent the public fron rising against them, so they manipulated the government to give the king more power and remove constitutional limits. These efforts eventually worked with a new constitution being drafted giving the monarch immense power essentially turning Britain back into a absolute monarchy with the illusion of a constitutional monarchy. There were several protests and riots when the public found out but the British government was more successful at stopping these protests. Britain became hyper-nationalist turning it nearly isolationist thus was far less capable of holding it's empire together and it fell apart not long after in 1958.

Jordan (1954)
Inspired by the revolution in Egypt, Jordanese revolutionaries planned their own revolution and overthrew the monarchy leading to the creation of the Arab republic of Jordan.

Africa (1954 - 1975)
Africa would see a massive spring in revolutions and independence struggles from Algeria to South africa.

In Algeria the Algerian Communist party was successful in driving the French out and successfully gaining their independence and forming a socialist republic.

Across all of portugese and French Africa revolutions began overthrowing the oppressive government and establishing socialist nations creating a large belt of socialism. The west grows weaker and weaker at these defeats showing that Africa will not take colonialism as an option.

United States (1955)
With tensions rising in 1954 congress gives emergency powers to Eisenhower. but this only makes things worse. With Martial law established this only inspired people to riot more and even harder and by 1955 America falls into civil war and soon the federal government loses control over anything west of the Mississippi.

Due to the Second Great Depression the United States was thrown into turmoil eventually leading it into a civil war, this conveniently for communism led to the Soviet Union becoming the strongest nation on Earth.

The Second American Civil War

When the second American civil war began it rung across the radios of the United states, everyone had heard it and everyone dreaded it. This war would go on for 9 years and it would be the biggest loss of life in American history.

Beginning of The People's Commonwealth of Columbia (1954 - 1961)
Sick and tired of the oppression of the Washington elites, workers of all ethnicities put aside differences and realized the truth that capitalism oppressed them and kept them in poverty.

Mirroring Mao Tse-Tung they decarled war! A people's war! The tactics of the PCC were incredibly effective at defending the right's of the workers and fighting against the imperialist Americans.

A decisive victory was won in Houston in 1958 cementing that the PCC was determined to separate and fight against American imperialism.

Mormons?!
The mormons surprised everyone when they were able to rally millions to secede and form their own state. The Mormons were able to take over Utah and much of the area surrounding it including most of Nevada.

The Mormons or deseret were some of the most brutal and vile in the civil war raping women and kidnapping them and turning them into concubines.

Dawnland
Formed from organized trade unions the Democratic Republic of Dawnland was formed mostly fighting in new England but was the most tame part the 2ACW.

Cascadia
Beginning as the Seattle commune The Cascadian democratic republic was able to take the opportunity of a stretched out military to use the cascade mountains to there advantage expanding greatly through the years of the 2ACW

Story of the 3rd brigade
The 3rd brigade was an infantry brigade that refused retreat order instead held their positions to help civilians evacuate form the incoming deseret army. Although the 3rd brigade choosing not to retreat saved the lives of thousands, they were not so lucky as those who weren't killed in battle were executed by crucifixion.

United states remnants
What's left if the United states is a shell of its former losing 3/4 of it territory it soon became a military dictatorship not holding a single election until 2004.
