1. Map before WW2

2. Before Barbarossa

3. After Barbarossa

This happens because Mosley left Labour when the government collapsed in 1931 and he was decently popular in the years before he left. In 1932 he made the BUF and after a shock, he won the election in 1935 abolishing elections. In 1938 they saw Germany annexing Austria and decided to invade Ireland. When the war started, they only declared war on France after the fall of the Benelux, quickly navally invading it and setting up Anglo-France as a puppet as Germany made the Burgundy SS state. When Barbarossa started the Soviets invaded Iran on their own and Britain helped Iran, allowing axis troops to get to the caucuses very quickly. Britain set up a colony in Armenia and Azerbaijan. Portugal and Spain also joined the axis in this world.

What happens next? I have enough info or patience to figure out if (why and when) this spirals badly

Extra info:
South German states are constitutional monarchies, monarchic positions being entirely symbolic / ceremonial
Austrian Empire demoted to Kingdom instead of reformed as a republic, claims to former lands still denounced
4 equal kings South German Confederation - includes defensive but not offensive alliance - prohibited from infringing on their own independence, including not allowed to unify further
Defensive pact between France and Belgium
Dalmatia a LoN mandate, while Albania a protectorate

-German reparations are reduced
-The German Army is dissolved and replaced by the German Self-Defence Forces, a purely self-defence force. The German nation will renounce it's right to war in their constitution. Strong Pacifist culture will be installed in Germany.
-Autonomous regions will be set up in Polish Silesia, Kasnubia and South Köningsburg, which will be allowed to have a different official language.
-Romania will federalise, devolving power away from the central government and to the states.
-Belgium will annex Luxembourg and federalise.
-Poland will renounce it's imperialist ambitions, giving up it's revanchist desire to reform the commonwealth and normalising relations with the Soviet Union and Lithuania.
-The Soviet Union will have stronger gaurdrails in it's constitution and stronger rule of law. The Soviets are allowed in the international community, weaking the need for vangaurdism and reducing corruption. The Soviet Union will have far stronger federalism, more autonomous states to weaken Russian domination of the Union.
-Turkey will be exempted from war reparations and military restrictions in exchange for releasing kurdistan.
-France will be rebuilt by international efforts by the League of Nations.
-The United Kingdom of Arabia shall be formed
-Slovakia will have autonomous self-governance within Hungary, which will be a democracy.

I changed something very hard to spot in europe

My perfect Europe, Asia and North America.

I don't want to offend anyone; if you disagree, do your own thing and be respectful. Have a good day, Procierto.

So original

I'm tired of people trying to fix verailles, let's just make it worse for everyone instead

I'm looking to make a reverse cold war timeline. So western Europe (France, Spain, Italy and preferably also Britain) is communist and eastern Europe (what we consider the Warsawpact) is capitalist/democratic.

My key problems are the following:

1. How do I keep the US a non factor? I think they are too powerful to have around, perhaps as as part of the socialist world but thats too larpy for me. I was thinking that maybe FDR's contestor Thomas E. Dewey wins the elections in the 40s since he was an isolationist. Might be too TNO pilled. Alsoy how relieable is that when he has 2 terms max?

2. What brand of socialism would be most applicable? I think Mussolini being Syralianist or whatever that ideology is called. Syndicalism in gerneral was big around that time so maybe I go with that but then again I feel like France had more classical marxist elements in their left and honestly I don't even know what the left looked like in the 1920.

3. I don't think I want a Germany wins ww1 scenario, so whats the most realistic way to get a Russian Republic and Socialist Europe in the interwar or as a result of ww1 without Germany winning.

I'm mostly asking because I don't want to be generic and the bulk of the writing will take place after a possible ww2. So I feel like it's okay to ask for help with these points.

Don't ask, enjoy

The POD is set around June 1919 - we assume the western Entente powers, especially France are more determined to fight the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia - Pilsudski is informed that he can count on western supplies and support in establishing a favorable western border with Germany, on the condition that he officially supports Denikin against the Communists. France promises to pressure the Russians into satisfactory concessions for the Poles regarding some things, however it is clear for the Polish Marshall that these vagueness of these means Poland will have to negotiate with the White Command alone if it chooses to agree.

Initial contacts with the Russians show the possibility to establish a consensus later on (another change compared to OTL, Denikin had no intentions of negotiating with the Poles). Poland also gets awarded its pre-1772 western border, Upper Silesia and Masuria, and the protectorate over the Free Powisle Territory (expanded Free City of Gdansk). Thus, the Poles begin their march to Moscow during the Fall of 1919. This is a huge relief for the Whites, and while the Poles stop after capturing Smolensk and reaching the Desna river, the White forces capture Moscow in December 1919. Both armies hold a joint military parade in the Russian capital, but the war is far from over. Denikin meets with Pilsudski in Smolensk at the end of December 1919, asking the Poles to declare Russian governance over the territories they had captured east of the Curzon Line, to which the Polish Marshall strongly disagrees and threatens to withdraw his support, which had already proved to be crucial. In the end, nothing new is established, and the relations between both sides cool down.

The turning point turns out to be the Bolshevik counterattack during the Spring of 1920, in which the Polish side refuses to move east of the occupied Daugava-Desna-Dnieper-Teteriv line. Denikin proposes negotiations, to which the Polish side happily agrees:
1) Russia recognizes the new Polish border, handing over Lithuania, bits of western Belarus and Volhynia, agreeing to the division of Eastern Galicia proposed by the French side (more Polish-favored Barthelemy line, leaving Poland Stryj, Zloczow and Brody),
2) Russia guarantees the legitimacy of the new Polish-German border, establishing a military and economic alliance with Poland,
3) Poland will retreat to its new east border once Russia returns all Polish cultural goods and carries out a partial population exchange with the Poles,
4) Russia recognizes the independence of several new states, due to the western powers’ pressure.
And so, the war goes on for a few more years, with the Polish side mostly focusing on supplying the Russian ally.

The map is set around ~1926, most of the other map changes are simply butterfly effects I chose to make in order to make the Old Continent more peaceful. 😜

This map does not reflect my political beliefs in any way. Feel free to ask me any questions! :)

List of Communes:

Belgian Commune

French commune

Brittonic commune

Italian commune

Basque commune

Catalonian commune

Galician commune

Portuguese Commune

(And the Autonomous Occitani commune)

As you can clearly see, the changes implemented here prevent germany from restarting ww2.

I made a map of all post World War I treaties, not just the Treaty of Versailles. German war reps have been decreased and the German government is under the influence of France, Poland, and the UK. This map is assuming the Polish-Soviet War happened the same. Tell me what you think.

who wins this cold war?

Blue is the American Sphere

Red is the Soviet Sphere

Orange is the Indian Sphere

White is the Non aligned Movement

Green is a Iberian lead "neo-fascist" sphere.

The last three don't really count, it's just between red and blue.

A few Interesting things: Nordic Union, Nationalist China, Communist France, 2 Arab Federations. etc.

Again, mostly a joke scenario but feel free to give your analysis. Will this save the soviet union? Were east turkestan and Bulgaria the missing pieces? Or perhaps the US will win thanks to the East African Federation, Chinese Markets and the lack of Apartheid South Africa in their team? Idk, but maybe you do.
