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

looks like I have competition for a long title with broken hammer hahahah

Made by me

=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.

Warning/clarification: because I'm busier now then when I started this whenever it says (WIP) it means it's not finished and will be finished later.

=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 Map=

World map 2023

=1940s=

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.

In 1948 harry Truman lost the election, his successor was a man by the name of Fred Campbell. His Libertarian ideology led him to bury his head in the sand about the impending crisis.

=1950s=

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 and unemployment skyrocketed 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

[[File:Honecker.png]] Germany (1950s) [[File:ML.png]]
In 1949 the Marshal plan is far smaller due to the precarious position the economies of the main funders of the plan were in. Because of this West Germany starves and because of this foreign troops in west Berlin and Germany are told to be alert for rebelling Germans who might want to reestablish something of old as they'll believe that the old Germany was right. Rather than fascists, communists begin protesting across west Germany and the protests get so large and violent that war might break out again, communists in Bavaria took Munich and declared the Bavarian Soviet once again, there hasn't been this much conflict internally in Germany since after WW1.

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. Soviet troops passed into west Germany and kicked the French, British, and American troops out.

[[File:Timbuck.png]] 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.

On September 9th 1951 the Canadian People's republic was born being declared by chairman tim buck and the revolutionary council.

[[File:Cball-North Korea.png]] Korea (1951) [[File:Ilminism.png]]
The Korean war lasted only from 1950 until 1951 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 its inevitable fall.

In 1951 the war was won by the north with the rok military officially surrendering in August of 1951. This lead to a strong Korea Unified under Juche.

[[File:Gaullismicon2.png]] France (1951) [[File:Socauth.png]]
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.

[[File:Abmon.png]][[File:Monarcho-Fascism.png]] UK (1951) [[File:Plutocrat.png]][[File:Moncap.png]]
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.

[[File:Absoc.png]] 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.

[[File:Imp.png]] Africa (1954 - 1975) [[File:ML.png]]
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.

In 1975 south Africa was the last country to gain independence truly. Although South Africa was independent it was under an oppressive racist government. In 1966 the seeds were planted as the SADF attacked Rebelling Namibia and suffered 5 consecutive defeats at the hands of SWAPO and Cuban troops. This sewed incompetence and with the SADF busy with a war south African communists take the Cape area cornering the SADF and leading to their defeat in Namibia. Starting in 1972 over the next 3 years the apartheid Government was defeated in the free state province at Bloemfontein.

[[File:Hochi.png]] Indochina (1955)
After successfully kicking out the French in 1954 there was hope that the region would be safe and peaceful but the maps said otherwise. Vietnam was split in two against their will and Laos and Cambodia were under harsh rule by french sponsored dictators and monarchs. Seeing no justice in this resolution communists across Indochina stood up against the French puppets and declared their own independent states but, this would spiral out of control in a 20-year-long war leading to the deaths of almost 4 million.

British invasion of Canada (1955)
in 1955 the British would try a desperate attempt to retake their colony in North America, Canada, and declare war on the Canadian People's republic. the British Armed forces were stretched thin across the world trying to keep their empire afloat. the British Armed forces could only gather 200000 troops to invade and retake Canada. it's easy to say that there wasn't high hope for this plan. the invasion was not a real invasion and just a series of embarrassments for the British. the British attempted an invasion of the island of labrador which failed after several ships were sunk by mines and soldiers who landed were gunned down the second they got on land. They then attempted an invasion of Miroslav Island (Prince edward island) which saw some success with soldiers not immediately blown out of the water or gunned down on land but were eventually stopped by guerilla war tactics and defensive advantage. after about 2 months of failed invasions across the eastern Canadian coast, the British sued for peace and signed an agreement that made them recognize the new CPR.

[[File:Cball-US.png]] 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. In this timeline, Eisenhower is not some forgotten president but a president who lives in infamy as an authoritarian and a dictator. His name is used as an insult whenever someone doesn't like a politician.

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
https://polcompballanarchy.miraheze.org/wiki/Glencoe13_s_Random_Idea_page#cite_ref-2 (I'd also recommend looking at this as Glencoe does a better job at explaining this part then me)

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.

[[File:MLL.png]] 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.

[[File:Theodemocracy.png]] 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.

[[File:Dawnland.png]] 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.

[[File:Eco-ML.png]] 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.

[[File:Cball-US.png]] 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.

[[File:UAD.png]] American Federation
In 1957 American Liberals, Moderates and libertarians formed the American Alliance for Democracy and seceded and claimed to be the successor to America and said that the old America was lost and they wanted to restore it.

In 1959 JFK changed the name of the Alliance to the American Federation.

The American federation sufferd numerous miltary defeats early one such as Operation Thunderstorm in 1958 and the Rock Island Campaign in 1959.

The Federation was able to seize Hawaii after sailors mutinied against their officers and took the islands and gave them to the Federation.

Despite the defeats early on, the Federation would Still take Chicago and, as the 60s rolled around, they would gain military momentum, taking Washington D.C with Operation Dying Empire and Taking South Florida with Operation Hurricane.

Alaska
Alaska would be where the Second Civil War would Start, with Alaskan Independence Front waging war against the Government for several decades until the Fairbanks Accords in 2004.

Nuclear program
Whether they were destroyed by anti-nuclear weapons groups or by the united States to prevent them from being used against them the nuclear program of the United States and its former lands was completely destroyed. Despite this rumors of lost nukes still exist to this very day.

Brazil(1954)
=1960s=

[[File:Timbuck.png]] Canadian People's Republic 1960 - 1963 [[File:Gaullismicon2.png]]
In 1960 led by Tim Buck the CPR finalizes its split from the Soviet Union. This would be known as the Soviet-Canadian Split.

Canada grew exponentially with a massive increase in industry, access to healthcare, education, and housing, and a decrease in unemployment, poverty, and illiteracy all thanks to socialism.

From 1961 to 1963 the NPA navy and the French navy had several run-ins as the French navy became more hostile to Canadian Forces ever since to occupation and annexation of their Overseas territory of St Pierre and Miquelon in 1955. For 2 years the French navy harassed Canadian ships sailing the Atlantic, this all stopped when in 1963 in response to a French ship firing a shot mistakenly thought to be a purposeful shot and sank the French ship firing them, this could have been seen as an act of war but the weak, stretched thin and incompetent French military didn't wish to start a war they had no chance of winning. The Franco-Canadian war is often a thing discussed in alternate history circles.

In the mid-1960s the CPR would work together with China to develop nuclear weapons. This led to the creation of the CNW-1 or "Lady of Fire" as a call sign and popular nickname. The test was an atmospheric test held in northern Quebec in 1965, the yield of the bomb was 25 kilotons greater than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. The development of the nuclear program instead of producing astonishment like with China instead produced pure terror as further south the American Federation had no nuclear weapons and would need to restart their research as they had lost all developments made in the Manhattan Project and no country with nuclear capabilities wanted to help them. Fear spread quicker in 1968 as an unconfirmed rumor of a barge nuclear test done by the CPR in the arctic ocean of a yield of 4 megatons spread around causing more fear.

Bush Wars
In 1964 Communists in "Rhodesia" revolted against the colonial government, they quickly gained success Especially after gaining assistance from Mozambique who had sent in thousands of troops to assist the ZANU revolutionaries. By December 1979, instead of an independent "Rhodesia" Zimbabwe won independence from the British and defeated the white minority rule.

End of the Second American Civil War
After the Deveistaing Battle of Richmond, it was obvious peace had to be made, and thus the Treaty of Louisville was signed, bringing 9 Years of war to a close after 14 million deaths.

Japanese Civil War(1962-1970)
In 1962 after 13 years of economic suffering and bad post-war recovery, after the Americans left Japan in 1956, Japanese people grew discontent with the Americans and their current government. The Japanese people hated much of Japanese society seeing the religious emperor worship as destroying their country and would abandon the old Japan and making a new one.

In 1966 the emperor was reported missing after he was thought to be kidnapped in Nagoya.

In 1970 the treaty of Manila Japan was split in two with north Japan becoming a socialist republic while the south stays under the control of the original government.

UK(1960s)
By the 1960s the british empire had officially fallen apart and the sun had set on the British empire. The last nail in the coffin was hammered in 1967 after Yemen gained independence from Britain. But even with this the british would attempt to cling on to its former glory with interventions all over the world.

In addition to this, the Government led by the Hyper-Conservative Monday Club would begin to crack down on Artists and Musicians who criticized them, causing many bands, such as the Beatles or the Sex Pistols, to flee to countries abroad, most notably the American Federation.

New Zealand(1967)
In 1967 a bloodless revolution happened in New Zealand. Republicans peacefully overthrew the Dominion government and created a republic. There were many calls for intervention by Australia or the UK but they didn't want to as they thought that invasion and reestablishing of a colonial government would only strengthen communism in the region so they decided to make peace with them while they were still moderate. the only conflict after this peaceful revolution was arguments over who owns the cook islands.

Northern Ireland War(1968-1976)
As the British Empire's grip on power was loosening Irish independence fighters in the north saw this as a chance to take northern Ireland and reunify the island.

in 1966 there was a revolution that overthrew the Finna Fáil government and created a socialist republic. In January of 1968 IRA forces in northern Ireland declared a guerilla war on the British which would soon be followed by support from Dublin, soon after Ireland would receive help from the soviet union and other warsaw pact members, Cuba, Canada, China, Korea, and surprisingly France and Amfed. all these countries had something in common, they wanted a free Ireland and they wanted to weaken the British.

In 1976 after 8 years the British withdrew from Ireland, the war was not entirely won by the Irish alone though, even countries who weren't in full support of Ireland sanctioned the UK and with the loss of its empire it had nowhere to get substantial resources from, and France even succeeded in having its European allies stop trading with the British and even was able to blockade the British.

after 8 years of fighting Ireland was reunited and the 800 years of resistance against the British finally led to a victory. but this wouldn't be the end as the British wouldn't recognize this new unified Ireland, so the resistance would have to continue.

Second Arab-Israel War(1967-1973)
The war would begin on June 12th,1967, with Israel facing an assault from all directions. Despite this, they were able to beat back the initial attack and Counterattack pushing Egypt out of the Sinai Peninsula and taking the capitals of Jordan and Lebanon, at last, it would not last. Israel would be defeated in a decisive battle south of Damascus in 1969 and would gradually be driven back until Tel Aviv fell in late August 1973.

After the defeat of Israel in 1973, George Habash who had been a strong supporter and was essential to the fall of Israel was made president of the new Republic of Palestine, later as leader he changed it to the People's Republic of Palestine. After the victory, George Habash dissolved the PFLP and remade it into the Palestinian Worker's Party with him as General Secretary.

USSR(1968)
In 1968 the Soviet Union launched a mission to land on the moon, they called this Mission Khrabrost 1. The Soviets launched a 3 man crew, returning was the legendary first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, the first man to walk in space Alexei Leonov, and young newcomer Ioanna Yakovich. using an N1 rocket the crew was sent into orbit and successfully landed using the LK landing craft. After all this, on May 12th, 1968, the Soviet Red Banner was planted on the moon. Yuri Gagarin famously said on that day "Это один маленький шаг для пролетариата и гигантский скачок для рабочего класса всего мира." or in English, "That's one small step for the proletariat, one giant leap for the Working class of the whole world."

Dominican Civil War(1965-1966)
=1970s=

American Federation(1970s)
In 1973 the Arab counties, as punishment against the Federation for supporting Israel, would sanction it. With few home sources of oil, the economy collapsed into what was known as "The Great Reccesion"(Later called the First Great Reccesion after another one in 2006). This resulted in what was known as the black summer, as Riots erupted in Cities across the country, and Martial Law was imposed. This peaked in what was known as the Battle of Detroit as Pro-Canadian Revolutionaries took control of the city, assisted by Canadian forces, however, The Federation Army would take back the city in a Combined arms counterattack known as Operation Defiant Whisper. Ultimately the sanctions would be lifted after the American Federation Recognized Israel after Tel Aviv fell in August of 1973. This also resulted in the Foundation of the Norwegian- American Oil Company, a Joint Venture between Norway, Amfed, and the USR.

Canadian People's Republic (1970s)
the 1970s were an eventful time around the world and also in Canada. through the 1970s Canada experienced the same peace and growth and was even able to welcome the first new generation of adults to be born in the new People's republic having around 3 million children becoming adults being entirely raised in the CPR.

In early August 1973 to assist revolutionaries in Detroit the National People's Army of the CPR invaded the city. this led to an 8-day-long battle in the city eventually resulting in a federation victory but at a cost as the city of Detroit had been severely bombed by artillery resulting in 15 billion dollars in damages (around 150 billion in 2023). War was prevented by quick diplomacy and later in 1975, the North American Non-Aggression Pact is signed assuring peace for now.

Chilean Civil War (1973 - 1975)
In 1973 an attempt at deposing Chilean socialist president Salvador Allende. In 1973 the military was split in 2 with one attempting their coup and the other siding with Allende. The couping forces were led by Pinochet and captured a majority of Chile but were unable to take Santiago and surrounding areas.

Allende was supported by Peru, Argentina, and the Soviet Union and Pinochet was supported by Bolivia and Brazil.

By 1974 there were many talks of foreign intervention, almost every surrounding country was thinking of plans to intervene in the conflict and even The United States and the American Federation had thought of intervening.

In 1975 Peru invaded on the side of Salvador Allende, destroying Pinochet's forces with their superior Soviet T-55s.

In 1975 the civil ended and Salvador Allende took power and officially declared the Chilean People's Republic.

Deseret Civil War(1979-1982)
After moderates won in the 1977 Deseret election for the first time, extremists couped the government but just around a year later the extremists were counter-couped. This began the Deseret civil war with the moderates naming their new deseret the republic of deseret and the extremists calling themselves the holy republic of deseret. The American federation help the moderates and helped them counter-coup the extremists and later win against them in the civil war. After it was over Although still majority mormon the Government minimized religion's role in government

France (1970s)
In 1970 after 19 years in power and the French empire falling apart, Charles De Gaulle had died and with him so did the French Fifth Republic. Out of the fall of the fifth French republic came the sixth French republic. This new France would unban opposition parties and reinstate a multi-party system. This new France would also play a new critical role in the coming years.

Puerto Rico Emergency(1975)
In 1975 several Puerto Rican independence groups including the Boricua Popular Army and the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico. All the groups United under the Puerto Rican National Party, a coalition of independence groups big and small. The Puerto Rican National Party was able to gather an armed force exceeding 50000, they began a guerilla war on January 1975, unfortunately for them the USR was desperate to keep itself together and not lose territory so they used extreme force that eventually won in December of the same year. Although weakened the victory was only declared by the USR and not by the Puerto Rican National Party and they kept fighting until this very day. Many parties separated from the PRNP after victory was declared by the USR and later rebranded themselves and reformist parties hoping or independence or statehood and some even wanting the American federation to takeover the island.

Democratic Alliance Formed(1979)
1978 President Rockefeller proposed creating a global version of NATO this attracted some interest from other states most notably France, and South Japan who was still concerned about a communist attack. As a result in 1979 5 nations the American Federation,France,South Japan,Norway, and the Netherlands met in Amsterdam and after 1 and a half weeks of negotiations the Amsterdam Treaty was sighed and the Democratic Alliance was born.

Spain(1970s)
After the death of Franco in 1975 a mysterious council took power after him. They closed all borders and began purging all politicians until they were the only ones left. They then created a fourth position and claimed it to be above the ideologies of the real world. in a now infamous tv broadcast where 7 men could be seen on the screen although we can't confirm who or what they were as their faces were blacked out and they spoke in a deep tone. (WIP)

=1980s=

Hong Kong Conflict(1980-1981)
In June 1980 Hong Kongers protested against British rule over the islands, these protests soon turned to violent riots. 6 days after the protests started martial law was declared and lethal force was used against protesters. After this a Hong Konger sent by the local communist party was sent to Beijing to ask Chairman Hua Guofeng to liberate the islands, this message reached Hua's ears and he quickly gathered troops to attack the British in Hong Kong.

Because of the British empire collapsing the British wished to keep what they had left of their colonial empire so they heavily militarized Hong Kong with an 80000 troop force defending the islands. Because of this, the Chinese decided to gather up almost double this with 150000 troops.

The invasion was done as quickly and quietly as possible so that the British wouldn't find out and the PLA could gain the advantage, this worked as the PLA surprised the British forces stationed there on July 3rd, but it wasn't going to be over that quickly as the slog of urban combat would stretch the conflict out long.

The number of soldiers stationed Although small wouldn't be alone as rich elites would use their wealth to hire locals to fight and hire international volunteers to fight in Hong Kong they could only hire about 5000 extra soldiers which wouldn't be enough.

On January of 1981, the entire archipelago was captured and the British were forced to leave in the peace deal.

Great plains republic (1981)
In 1981 the American federation intervened in the warlord conflicts in the great plains. For the last 17 the 2nd American civil war had ended but in these lands it never ended, and the warlords kept raiding the American federation. Sick with the raiding and intervened in the great plains and Created one country that would be pro-Amfed.

Most warlords decided to peacefully join the new nation, however, the Northwest Clique refused to join and had to be crushed.

Falklands War(1982)
In wake of a precarious situation, Argentina's dictator Leopoldo Galtieri decided to go to war to distract the population. After 2 months and 12 days, Argentina was able to defeat the British and kick them out of the Falkland Islands. This gave Leopoldo Galtieri's government more legitimacy for about a year when he was ousted and an election was held in 1984.

British Military Coup(1983)
In 1979 in the Aftermath of Mass Strikes, Tony Benn would win the election in a landslide despite the Elite's best efforts. The elites were horrified by this and began scheming to have him removed. At first, they attempted to blackmail him, but this failed and, the scheme was exposed on National Television, as a result, the Elites decided to Coup him instead, and with the loss of Hong Kong and the Falklands, they had their justification. In the early morning of the 9th June 1983, the Miltary would roll into London and arrest Tony Benn and his government on charges of treason. This resulted in Widespread Protests (most notably the Great Manchester Riot), however, like in the 50s, this was suppressed. Tony Benn was later able to escape from the UK thanks to sympathizers of his and fled to Ireland and later to Germany.

Canadian people's republic (1980s)
A few years prior to 1980 the CPR restarted relations with the Soviet Union under William Kashtan who was seen by those who opposed him as a Canadian Brezhnev. Critically Kashtan signed agreements that would grant Canada to purchase Soviet military techs like new jets and AFVs. this led to the CPR rapidly growing in military strength in a matter of a few years.

Because of this sudden siding with the Soviet Union, the PCC decided to condemn the CPR and called them revisionist, this led to the severing of relations between the CPR and the PCC.

In 1986 The CPR went to war with the young state the GPR and won easily after only 3 months.

Great Plains War (1986)
Since 1983 the Great Plains Republic was accused of supporting Western separatists in the Canadian prairies. this led stopping of exporting of Canadian wheat, corn, grain, and other crops as they had placed sanctions on the country which it needed after the farmland of the GPR was heavily damaged during the 26 years of constant war, these sanctions would begin what is known as "the hard times" in the GPR. with these sanctions the GPR had to increase its reliance on Amfed trade, this was actually not what at the time president of the American Federation, Ted Kennedy wanted as he a self-sufficient ally in the region and not a puppet state. Even more to the Amfed's displeasure the democratic government of the GPR was overthrown in mid-1984 and replaced by a military junta which although they did fix some problems like wages, crops problems, undeveloped road systems, and also let Amfed rail companies build rails into the GPR, they also pursued massive military expansions for a country with a population as small as theirs, buying military gears using any money they had.

In 1986 a western separatist group blew up a lithium mine north of Calgary killing 50 miners. This angered the CPR government was furious and told the GPR to stop supporting western separatists, after this the GPR accidentally admitted to supporting this attack and the separatists leading to them justifying war with the GPR on June the 8th 1986.

The GPR military Although it has grew in size it was far smaller then the National People's Army. The Midwestern Central military command would be the main army to fight in the great plains, for the war they were able to conscript an extra 200000 soldiers bringing the Midwestern Central Command's strength up to 1200000, to counter this large force the GPR gathered up a force of 750000.

This war would start of bad as lack of enough railroads and many train break downs slowed down large parts of the army. As the war moved forward it wouldn't get any better for the GPR as they lost air superiority only in the first week of the war after the bombing of GPR airbases almost destroyed their entire airforce with only a hand full of planes surviving from the bombing and the Amfed hesitant to support the GPR due to the Canadian's good relations with the USSR.

After one month the NPA split the GPR in 2 splitting their military with 100000 in the eas and 200000 left to defend denver.

After only 3 months of war the Denver fell after general Frederick F. Woerner jr took took over as president and announced the capitulation the the Great plains republic. After the war the GPR became worse off then it was before devolving into chaos and the government barely capable of keeping control. This led the GPR to become taken over by corporations. (WIP)

USR(1980s)
In 1982 after several corruption scandals and due to being too moderate, Richard Nixon was impeached and replaced by Ronald Reagan. Reagan and the rest of the Paleocons would institute a Christian Theocracy and begin a crackdown on all Opposition putting in place Ultraconservative policies across the board. In addition to this military spending would be cracked up and the New Afrika Conflict restarted.

One notable thing that came as a result of the increased spending was something called the "American Aircraft Dick Measuring Contest" in which Amfed and the USR competed with each other to produce better planes.

Second Greek Civil War(1989-1991)
For decades since the civil war in 1946 Greece was divided between communists and capitalists. in 1989 tensions were high as an election was coming up and the peaceful balance that had been in place since 1949. the main left-wing party of Greece technically lost the election but was able to create a coalition with the KKE and won a majority in the Hellenic parliament. hints of a possible second civil showed themselves as that same year the Democratic Army of Greece reemerged and grew in numbers.

They settled in western Ukraine or Galicia and Carpath and created two countries after the liberals and the social democrats split. the two countries were Carpatho-Ukraine and the People's Republic of Western Ukraine, these two countries immediately went to war, and the People's Republic of Western Ukraine won. thousands died in this brief war and the locals were never happy with this new "nation" appearing out of nowhere so with the help of soviet soldiers who had never left the area and police who were loyal to the USSR they overthrew the People's Republic of Western Ukraine and rejoined the USSR.

Canadian People's Republic(1990s)
After the retirement of William Kashtan in 1988 his successor was a man by the name of Victor Cooke, Victor was a reformist who was able to sneak his way into good favor with William Kashtan, and ever-nepotist William put Victor who had become his new Friend as the minister of finance.

in 1988 Victor Cooke saw this as his opportunity to take power and do the reforms he wanted. In 1988 he started reforming foreign policy specifically with the American Federation as relations went back after the war in the great plains in 1986. he wanted to make several military and economic deals with the Amfed so much do even created a stock market in 1989 and let Amfed companies operate in Canada. this led foreign brands like Mcdonalds' and Kmart to set up locations in Canada, With this Victor also controversially created a minimum wage of 10 R /h which hadn't existed as they had eliminated wage labor after the revolution but this new economy was going to be different. more and more co-ops and more decentralization were happening and for the first time, the economy of the CPR fluctuated things got worse with their first economic crash in 1991. this was the final straw and in 1993 inspired by the soviet union the military along with hardliners in government overthrew Victor Cooke and arrested him and imprisoned him. A random official by the name of Parker McLeod took the position of president but was later replaced by the person who had taken over the role of first secretary, Thomas Oak.

Thomas Oak would begin getting rid of Victor's reforms as soon as he took office first closing down all the stocks and seizing assets from people who gained wealth from it, he disbanded decentralized workers co-ops replacing them with the old more centralized workers committees, he did try to make a deal with outside companies, the deal was essentially "create a branch of the company in Canada and only in Canada and let the state 100% control this branch and we'll pay you every 5 years to keep it" most disagreed but that didn't matter as the government just seized all the money they made so they practically made no money after this, most companies that agreed to this deal were movie or video game companies who were ok with it.

in 1994 an attempt on Thomas Oak's life was made during a parade, the attempt was a failure but to combat future terrorist threats he created the Anti-Terrorism Task Force the following year.

American Federation(1990s)
The 90s were some of the most chaotic times in a while for everyone, terrorism, war, and civil war around the world. Even if the culture changed drastically this decade for the American Federation and things seemed to be going great, this fun decade was going to be a lot less fun.

On June 12th a Terrible attack in New York City Happened when the true nationalist party, an ultranationalist fascist party crashed a plane into the world trade center. this would change everything, forever.

In 1996 the same group that did the 6/12 attack started an uprising in upper Michigan, rapidly taking cities and seizing military caches. the AmFed responded quickly but were slowed down by barbaric tactics and civilian hostages preventing them from taking big advances. Because of this, the AmFed asked the CPR for help, the CPR was far less hesitant immediately shelling them and quickly capturing a rebel base at Lapeer and using their river navy to take Port Sanilac on just the first day. The Uprising was defeated and the TNP was destroyed.

USR(1990s)
The USR has a very hard time through the 90s experiencing an oil crisis because of the British-Iraq war which causes a massive increase in oil barrel Prices. With the USR supporting the British, all of Iraq's allies sanctioned and embargoed the British and its only ally the USR. this would culminate in the total collapse of the USR economy after all nations who traded with it were blocked from trading and rumors spread of an incoming Soviet blockade. Because of this panic and paranoia took over for the whole of the 90s which many thought would lead to another civil war.
