Primer
Small note here, but I'm isn't that great at writing so please excuse me if it sounds bad or reads poorly, I'm trying my best, man :3

Welcome to "The Scarlet Decades", an alternate history series where leftism flourished in the interwar period, reshaping the course of history. In this timeline, two pivotal events dramatically altered the trajectory of the world: the Kronstadt Rebellion and the Spartacus Uprising.

In The Scarlet Decades universe, the success of the Spartacus Uprising in Germany in 1919 was another key moment that altered the course of history. In "The Red Tide" timeline, the uprising succeeded, leading to the establishment of a socialist government in Germany. This development sent shockwaves throughout Europe and inspired other leftist movements to take action, leading to the rise of socialist and communist governments in countries that in our timeline were capitalist, such as France, Italy, and Spain.

The Kronstadt Rebellion in 1921 was also successful, overthrowing the Bolshevik government in Russia. With the Soviet Union gone, a new leftist government emerged under the leadership of anarchist and socialist groups, creating a new state called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). This new country followed a radically different path from the Soviet Union in our timeline. Instead of a centralized, authoritarian state, the new USSR embraced decentralized planning and libertarian socialism. This change sparked a chain reaction, inspiring left-wing movements around the world.

The success of the Spartacus Uprising in Germany in 1919 was another key moment that altered the course of history. In "The Red Tide" timeline, the uprising succeeded, leading to the establishment of a socialist government in Germany. This development sent shockwaves throughout Europe and inspired other leftist movements to take action, leading to the rise of socialist and communist governments in countries that in our timeline were capitalist, such as France, Italy, and Spain.

The Scarlet Decades explores how these events affected the global balance of power, international relations, and the daily lives of people around the world. It asks questions about what could have happened if leftism had triumphed in the interwar period, and how it might have changed the course of history.
