=Intro= Did you know that every universe has an antithesis universe? Well, this is what this universe is. Specifically, it is an antithesis universe to the Bright Red Sun, where the Red Sun of communism shines brightly this is a universe where the Cold moon of capitalism hangs in the sky. This is the Cold Blue Moon. =40s=

[[File:Hyperinflate.png]] The Great Boom
In 1949 what would be known as the Great Boom began as the US economy in the aftermath of WW2 would skyrocket to levels never before seen in Human History. This resulted in the local communist movement being unable to gain steam and, they faded into obscurity.

The Marshall Plan
As a result of the Great Boom, the Marshall Plan would be 5x larger than in our timeline resulting in Europe recovering a lot faster. =50s=

The Korean War would still happen, however, it would end much differently. While the North Koreans were able to take Seoul, they would soon be stooped by a massive task force led by the US, and they would be destroyed by late 1951 via a lighting quick counterattack.

With the European powers being much stronger in this timeline, they were able to hold on to their colonies, while some others were released as puppet states, and by 1962, all decolonization had stopped.

[[File:Cball-US.png]] United States(1950s)
The United States would continue to see economic prosperity throughout the 50s, however, all was not perfect in the land of the free as the Alaskan Independence Front would begin to wage a guerrilla war in Alaska, and the Civil Rights Movement would begin protesting Brown vs Board of Education was ruled in favor of the Board of Education resulting in widespread riots from the Black Community.

[[File:Khrusch.png]] Soviet Union(1953-1963) [[File:Beria.png]]
In the Soviet Union, Stalin would die in 1953, and the resulting power struggle would rip the Union apart. While Beria initially took power, Krushev would launch a coup, but Beria would escape to Leningrad, and the Soviet Union would collapse into a brutal Civil War with numerous factions. While the Krushevites would win by 1963, the Union had been left a shell losing most of its territory to separatist movements. The Soviet Unions' collapse would end the First Cold War before it really began, as the Global Communist Movement was greatly weakened.

Eastern Europe(1950s)
With the Collapse of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe would begin to overthrow their Communist Governments with Revolutions and Upheaval taking place across Eastern Europe.

[[File:Cball-Japan.png]] Japan(1950s)
Due to the End of the Cold War, Japan remained mostly disarmed, only having about a division's worth of troops.

[[File:Cball-Germany.png]] Germany(1955-1956) [[File:Honecker.png]]
With the Soviet Union collapsing into Civil War and seeing the Prosperity of West Germany in 1955, the Germans in the East would revolt and overthrow the Government and, in 1956, join West Germany.

[[File:Cball-SRRomania.png]] Romania(1956)
Unlike the Rest of Eastern Europe, the Romanian government was able to hold on and would retake Moldova.

[[File:Tito.png]] Yugoslavia(1954-1959)
With the Soviet Union's collapse, Yugoslavia and Tito would take advantage of this and invade Albania and Bulgaria in 1954 despite the two countries' best efforts, Albania would surrender by 1955, and Bulgaria was overrun in 1958 and the Balkan Federation Was formed.

[[File:Absoc.png]] The Suez Crisis(1956-1958)[[File:Zio.png]] [[File:Imp.png]]
In 1956 the British, French, and Israel would invade Egypt to regain control of the Suez Canal. While they were able to regain the Canal, the Invasion was opposed by the US, who stopped them from overthrowing Nasser and was able to pressure them to give Egypt the canal back by 1958. This event would prove important in the long run as it proved to be the First Wedge in American-British/French relations, as well as Egypt becoming part of the American Sphere of Influence which resulted in the Arab Ba'ath movement becoming more Pro-American as a result.

[[File:Cball-US.png]][[File:Batista.png]] Cuba(1955-1956) [[File:Castro.png]]
In Cuba, Castro and the M-26-7 movement would attempt a revolt, however, the Americans did not take kindly to this, and the revolt was crushed.

Ukraine(1960s)
In Ukraine, Banderist fascists would take over after winning their independence and would begin to commit genocide on minorities. In NATO, this caused a split. America advocating to intervene to stop the genocide with the UK and France advocating to leave Ukraine alone. As a result of this inaction by the end of the decade all minority's in Ukraine had either been killed or deported

Iran(1962-1965)
In Iran, American Oil Companies began competing with British Oil Companies. This Made British Oil Companies upset, and so they began to attack the American Oil Companies with Mercenaries.
