[[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=

[[File:Cball-North Korea.png]] Korea(1950-1951) [[File:Ilminism.png]]
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.

[[File:Imp.png]] Africa(1951-1962)
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.

The Taiwan War(1954)
In 1954 The PRC would attempt to invade Taiwan. The invasion went well at first, but they were unable to take Taipei and were bogged down in the mountains. In addition to this, American troops began to arrive, and the Chinese began to retreat. The final nail in the coffin would be the US landing marines at the mouth of the Yangtze and temporally occupying Shanghai. After this, the PRC agreed to withdraw from Taiwan, ending the war.

[[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 with help of the US marine corp.

The Moscow & Leningrad Governments
The Two Main sides of the conflict would be the Moscow government led by Nikita Khrushchev and the Leningrad government led by Lavrentiy Beria. The conflict started after Stalin died and Beria took power. Khrushchev would launch a coup to seize power for himself, but Beria fled to Leningrad and established a rival government there, starting the Soviet Civil War. Despite controlling equal amounts of territory at first, the Leningrad government would lose most of its territory, in the First five years of the war due to most of the Red Army siding with Khrushchev. Eventually in 1961, Leningrad fell but Beria fled to Arkhangelsk and kept fighting until that fell in 1962 and the Leningrad government would be destroyed in 1963 when its last stronghold in Odessa was overrun by the FRU.

Ukraine
In Ukraine, various groups ranging from anarchists to liberals to even fascists would come together to form the Ukrainian Liberation Front to create an independent Ukraine. The Ukraine War of Independence, as it was known, would last from 1954-1962 when the Moscow government sighed the treaty of Donetsk after the ULF took the Crimean peninsula, granting what was known at the time as the Federal Republic of Ukraine independence.

Belarus
Inspired by the uprising in Ukraine, Belarussian nationalists would attempt to revolt in 1955, however, unlike the revolt in Ukraine, it went poorly, with the Belurassian front for independence being crushed in 1961. Despite this, remnants fled across the border and would continue to attack the Soviets until the early 70s.

Baltics
The Baltics would be the first the leave the collapsing soviet union leaving in 1953, with the Baltic Union being formed in 1955. The Moscow government would attempt to crush the new state in 1958 when they were defeated at Tartu, and again in 1961, where they left under the threat of NATO intervention.

The Caucuses Commune
The Caucuses Commune would be formed by anarchists in the caucus in 1956 and would fight against the Moscow government for several years till the treaty of Donetsk, where their independence was recognized.

Central Asian Alliance
As the USSR disintegrated into a civil war, numerous separatist groups in Central Asia saw an opportunity and began to revolt, and in 1956 they united into the Central Asian alliance. Following a decisive victory at Astana in 1961, the Moscow government recognized their independence, and the Central Asian Federation was formed.

Objectivist Republic of Siberia
Seeing an opportunity in the soviet civil war Ayn Rand and her followers went to Siberia to establish a state in line with Objectivist values. Landing in Magadan, Ayn Rand would, with the help of mercenaries, establish the Objectivist Republic of Siberia in the far east with Vladivostok as its capital.

Gerogia,Armenia,Azerbaijan
Georgian separatists were the second to secede after the Baltic states and after defeating the red army this area was mostly left mostly alone. Despite this the Azerbaijan Emerite and Aremina would fight a brief war over the Nagorno-Karabakh region with Azerbaijan wining.

=60s=

Ukraine(1960s)
In Ukraine, the alliance broke down, and the newly independent country descend into a civil war with Anarchists clashing with Fascists for over two years until the Anarchists were crushed in Dinepro.

After this Banderist fascists would take over 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 minorities 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. This resulted in a Corporate war in Iran, with the government Helpless to stop it. Ultimately the American oil companies left by 1965, and Euro-American Relations continued to fall apart.

New Zealand(1966)

Angered by this revolution, the UK would demand that the West Put sanctions on the New Republic. While France Complied, the USA, led by JFK, would refuse with JFK stating, "We refuse to punish those who believe that they are fighting for their Liberty." This angered the UK and would be the final straw in Euro-American Relations as both sides would recall their ambassadors in what was known as the Euro-American Split, and with that, a new Cold War began.

Vietnam War(1962-1967)
The Vietnam was started as a joint US-French intervention and would see great success at first with North Vietnam being invaded in 1965. However in 1966 due to the Euro-American Split the French would withdraw leaving the US and its allies alone. As a result of this and combined with increasingly difficult North Vietnamese resistance a ceasefire would be sighed in 1967.

United States(1960s)
By the Mid 60s the effects of the great boom had slowed down but the economy continued to grow. In 1968 JFK sighed the Black Rights Amendment and the Equal Rights Amendment into law granting Equal rights to minorities and woman.

Second Arab-Israel War(1967-1970)
In 1967 the second Arab-Israel War would begin. Israel would do well at first, however, due to siding with Euro Bloc, they did not have American support, after the USS Liberty was sunk, the US entered the war on the Arab Side. The US would blockade Israel, bomb it with B-52s, and send aid to the Arab countries, and Israel would surrender in 1970.

Central Asian Federation(1969)
In the years after CAF's independence, things were terrible, as a weak economy and ethnic unrest plagued the country. Eventually, fearing a civil war, the government held a referendum to dissolve the country, with 68% voting in favor, and on December 21, 1969, the banner of the federation was lowered for the last time, and the country broke up into five different nations.

=70s=

Germany(early 1970s)
While Germany was aligned with America at first the UK started funding Far-Right Groups in Germany in an attempt to get Germany on its side. Ultimately this paid off as the German military backed by the UK overthrew the Democratic German Government and established a Military dictatorship aligned with the UK and France known as the German National Republic.

After the coup, the New Miltary Government would back Far-Right groups in Overthrowing the Government in Austria and then annex it. Then they would attempt to size the Sudetenland but this was halted when the US threaten war.
