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= 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 Red banner over the world. =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's seemed that the City upon a hill was quickly tipping over that hill.
