Barbarossa's Crusade?
What if, during the Third Crusade, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa didn't drown on his way to the Holy Land? His large army, reputed to be the largest army to ever partake in a Crusade, could have, and probably would have, turned the Crusade decisively in the favor of the Europeans. Some ideas below:
 * Barbarossa's success in the Third Crusade secures his support of the Papacy and Northern Italy.
 * All four Crusader states survive or are reborn.
 * Because of the success of the Third Crusade, the Fourth Crusade either never happens or is delayed, increasing the lifespan of the Byzantine Empire.
 * Because of their neccessity in defending the Crusader states, the three knightly military orders manage to survive for longer, although they still lose influence and territory over time, becoming the same organizations that they are today.

Potential Soviet Republics

 * People's Republic of Bulgaria - The Communist leader of Bulgaria proposed that Bulgaria join the Union, but Union leaders refused. If a more expansionist government took control, that could change. Would likely strain relations with Yugoslavia even more due to Tito's dream of a "greater Yugoslavia."
 * Mongolian People's Republic - Same story as above. Would include modern day Mongolia, Buryatia, and Inner Mongolia.
 * Ainu-Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic - Under the assumption that an expansioninst government takes control, such a republic could be established under irredentist pretenses, like the Karelo-Finnish SSR.
 * Manchu Soviet Socialist Republic - Possible republic established if a war with Communist China were to occur. Would likely occupy both Inner and Outer Manchuria, but not part of Inner Mongolia.
 * Prussian Soviet Socialist Republic - Probably the least likely to emerge, but possible should there be a "Human Culture and History Movement" that occurs after First Contact. Would likely occupy Kaliningrad Oblast and maybe Polish Prussia.

Effects of the Soviet Military Coup

 * The military would likely put a prominent member into power after removing Brezhnev, maybe Zhukov.
 * The military might be more expansionist, even if Zhukov is not.
 * The internal dynamics of the Eastern block might collapse. If the Prague Spring succeeds as I plan, then it might ripple through the Warsaw Pact. If the Soviet Union improved its Human rights, the Pact might collapse all together.
 * Soviet Union holds together for many years, but with each new freedom, the Union becomes weaker, perhaps splitting like in OTL.
 * A looser defense pact might be formed, perhaps including Yugoslavia (doubtful) and other former Warsaw Pact nations.
 * While other states in Eastern Europe would follow the Soviets in economic and political freedom, Romania might remain oppressed, perhaps even breaking with the Soviet Union.

Unto the Defender General (Imperial Roman National Anthem) 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_N5nyecs24

Unto the Defender General the dues of victory,

and for the deliverance from woes, the thanksgiving

I, Thy city, ascribe Thee, O Theotokos.

And having your might unassailable, deliver me from all danger

so that I may cry unto Thee:

Rejoice, O Bride unwedded.
