Main Point of Divergence
April 6th 1987.

The pacific Northwest declares itself the independent nation of Cascadia, this comes after the US government has started to exploit the region for its trees, this made the residents become wary as protesters started dissapearing. The movement, which started before the army pressence gained support and within two months the numbers for supporting succession  went from 4% to 78%
