Soviet Union (The Japanese Split)

Formation:

After an uprising that had overthrown the royal family, a communist party took it's chances to take all the former Russian regions into it's control.

Some, such as Finland or Poland were never fully returned to the Soviets, however small portions were.

This uprising it was caused the country to pull out of the Great War, and also had the birth of several Semi-Independent nations..

The Countries that eventually formed the Soviet Union and several parts that would join before the second world war are as follows:

Bukharan PSR.

Byelorussian SSR

Khorezm PSR

Russian SSR

Transcaucasian SFSR

Ukranian SSR

People's Republic Of Tanna Tuva.

All of these countries with the exclusion of Tanna Tuva were part of the Russian Empire, The PRTT was initially part of China before becoming a partially recognized independent state, then to be voted to annexed by the Soviet Union, After annexing these Territories the USSR had direct borders with Eastern Europe, Mongolia, China, Persia, Turkey, Finland,The Xinjiang Clique, and Japan as well as several other smaller countries.

It also gave them a border with the United States of America, and placed them in close position to Canada and Danish Greenland, which would cause much tension during the before period and the Cold War Era itself.

The Great Patriotic War (June 1941 to 9 May 1945.)

After Hitler broke his treaty of non-aggression with the Soviet nation, a war across eastern Europe had spread out, some consider the taking of the Baltic countries, parts of Poland, Finland, Romania, and East Prussia as part of this conflict.

This war would face heavy civilian and military casualties from both sides, estimates are up to twenty-six million for the Soviets and a majority of the four million German deaths are from this one enemy.

The war would continue under a new names against Japan that would last until 1949.

The Siege Of The Rising Sun Islands and Nuclear Development: (1945-49)

Knowing that the Americans had created an Atomic weapon, but had decided to not use it on Japan, the two sides would agree to split the nation into occupation zones after the war, while behind the American's back the Soviet Union would develop bombs of their own.

Much death and territory loss was caused to Japan in the sieges by Russia and the other members of the Union, but eventually with assistance of the UK, America was the one to end the war three years and a few months after it ended with an assassination of all but one member of the Royal Family of the Emperor Shōwa, also known as Hirohito.

Within the peace deal, North Sakhalin was ceded to the split Japan's eastern controlled side, while the whole monarchy was abolished.

The Imperial system was hated by the Union, it wanted no part of that in one of it's Satellite states.

During the Japanese Conquest they also supplied help to the Chinese Communists who failed in winning their civil war and was banished to Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan as well as some of India.

In other news, they had developed a hydrogen based bomb that was detonated in Svalbard, after being given permission by the pressured Norwegian government.

Super Power Status:

After the Second World War the USSR was one of three major and for the most part only world powers, the other two were Britain and the USA, unfortunately for the British Empire, this was over by the time decolonization started.

France also lost any notion of it, as demonstrated with they and Israel fought against a Soviet Supported Egypt when the Suez Crisis occurred.

This created the scales even as the Soviets now were only largely challenged by the Americans, and with both having the option of many bombs that could destroy each other with a single button, this created an Arms race that would end with the Moon landing in 1969.

The Soviet Union is made out of several countries,
