Point of Divergence
Mexican President Carranza to consolidate his power, went on to co-operation with Germany, invited into the country by the German military advisers to help against his adversaries. This caused in U.S. anti-German hysteria. In such a situation, Carranza began negotiations with Germany on a joint war against the United States, fearing for his power. By 1914 the U.S. army was mobilized and was located on the Mexican border and the U.S. government began to support socialist Villa and Zapata. After the Germans flooded of ship "Lusitania", which was carrying weapons for the Entente in Europe, 10 May President Woodrow Wilson declared war on German Empire and Mexico

US invasion in Mexico; Socialist Mexico
In May 1915 supporters of Pancho Villa, with the support of Americans revolted throughout Mexico, at the same time, U.S. troops took the capital of Mexico, the same city. Villa in the summer is already controlled most of the country, and in September, the commander of the Mexican army, Alvaro Obregon, issued Americans Carranza with German representatives and acknowledged government of Villa and Zapata. By 1916 Mexican Civil War ended- Villa won and announced of Mexican Socialist States

U.S. didn't like the socialist government of Villa, but the Americans didn't want to return to power of Carranza or his predecessor Worth, leader of the right-wing reactionaries. In addition, the U.S. was convinced that socialism is not viable and the new Mexican regime will collapse easily. Therefore, the U.S. recognized the Mexican government in return for that Mexico has declared war on German Empire (nominal). The new government established the ruling Revolutionary Socialist Party of Mexico, whose head, Villa, was concurrently the head of state and dictator, established single-party state

In 1920, after the death of Villa, Mexican new leader, Emiliano Zapata, continued the policy of socialism, although legalized opposition. Mexico became a multiparty state, which remained before the coup of Alvaro Obregon in 1928

The cours of military operations (1915)
In September 1915 the Anglo-American forces landed at Gallipoli, taken to Istanbul. The Ottoman Empire capitulated and withdrew from the war, betraying the Central Powers. Britain annexed the Ottoman Mesopotamia, France- Syria and Lebanon, Russian- Ottoman Armenia, on the territories of the Ottoman Arabia was created Kingdom of Hejaz under ruling of Hashemite dynasty, which was soon expelled Saudis from Najd and annexed Najd to the Hijaz

Bulgaria didn't dare to enter the war on the side of the Central Powers, in exchange for which the Entente handed over Bulgarians Ottoman Thrace. As a result, the forces of the Entente with the Serbs and Italians launched an offensive against the Austro-Hungarian Empire and freeing Trieste, Trentino, Dalmatia and part of Bosnia. However, so far the Central Powers were very strong. In French, Italian and Balkan front they went on the defensive, but on the Eastern Front the Germans were defeated Russians and captured Russian Poland, Lithuania and Galicia (as in OTL).

In addition, because of its dire situation, the Germans are much more active than in the real history, used in fighting the Polish nationalists ("Polish Legions" of Pilsudski), promising them the establishment of an independent Polish state in Russian Poland after the war. Also, Romania hasn't acted on the side of the Entente against Austria-Hungary, fearing that the Bulgarians would try to annex of Romanian Dobrudja

The fall of monarchy in Germany and Austria-Hungary (1916)
In 1916 he began a general offensive of the Entente against the Central Powers on all fronts. In the Balkans it went well, the Serbs liberated Croatia and Slovenia. In the countries of the Central Powers began the revolution-Hungary declared itself an independent socialist state, and then sent troops into Slovakia, where creating a puppet state. Soon socialists revolted and in Austria. Kaiser Franz Joseph died of a heart attack caused by shock

Offensive of the Entente against Germany, especially on the Eastern Front, failed- Allies couldn't break through the German positions. But huge losses on both sides, weariness of the war and the blockade of Germany, the Allies led to the May Revolution in 1916, which coincided with the revolution in Austria-Hungary. Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated and the second fled the country

Came to power the Social Democrats, led by Friedrich Ebert, who wanted to continue the war, they were sure that Germany still has this power. But in June, the Allies resumed the offensive. After the July Revolution of radical socialists took over domain- Independent Social-Democratic Party and the Spartacus League. Became president Theodore Liebknecht, Chancellor- Hugo Eberlein. Germany has formed with other socialist countries, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia, a new coalition, replacing the Central Powers- International. In August, International began peace negotiations with the Entente through the mediation of Mexico. In September began negotiations between the Entente and the International in Belgrade, ended with the signing in February 1917 Belgrade peace treaty

Belgrade Peace Treaty (1917)
Belgrade peace treaty was drafted by the British Prime Minister Lloyd George, who did not wish to excessive weakening of Germany, and the Commission of Keynes, who convinced the Entente countries of the need to maintain an economically strong Germany as a state with no thirst for revenge

Since Germany was much stronger than in OTL and by supporting the European leftists, the conditions of peace for her and other countries of International were heavy, but not degrading. Germany ceded Alsace and Lorraine to France, Russia- Memel, the future Polish state- Poznan, but kept the Northern Schleswig, West Prussia and Upper Silesia (lost in OTL). Austria and Hungary recognized collapse of Austria-Hungary and the fact that Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Vojvodina depart Serbia, Galicia- Russia, and Trieste and Trentino- Italy. Also states of International reduced army and navy. Only one point of the Belgrade treaty did not suit International, a ban on the unification of Germany and Austria. Also, Germany has been imposed on the major repair, which, however, was later reduced

The treaty did not suit France and Russia, because they do not give them to eliminate the "red alert" and finish off Germany. First of all, it did not suit Russia, as it was declared independent of Poland (in Polish and Russian borders of Poznan). Although Russia has agreements with Entente was going to give Poland autonomy (as Finland in OTL), the idea of independent' Poland, she didn't like. Moreover, the power in Poland took an anti-Russian and nationalist Jozef Pilsudski. In addition, in Galicia, nominally ceded Russia, actually took power Ukrainian nationalists, who regarded Galicia only as a springboard to capture the rest of Ukraine and the establishment there of independent state. Also, Russia didn't like the fact that Istanbul is not moved to it entirely, as agreed at the beginning of the Entente countries, and came under the joint management

In such a situation, the countries of the Entente began to consider the option of removal from the throne of Emperor Nicholas II uncompromising and the enthronement of his brother Michael with the help of the liberal opposition (Cadets). Belgrade peace treaty was not satisfied and the United States, received from him only a few German colonies in the Pacific Ocean and part of the German indemnity

December revolution in Russia; Russian Republic and Russian State
In 1917, all over Russia were riots among the peasants, especially the landless, and the soldiers, especially those located on the border with Germany. There were the Soviets of Peasants 'and Soldiers' Deputies, calling for the establishment of socialism in Russia, following the example of Mexico and Germany. By December 1917 rebelled most rural areas. In December, leaders of the socialist parties called a general strike to begin working. The unrest among the workers and peasants have paralyzed the Russian Empire. Finland and Baltic states declared independence from Russia

In such a situation, the leaders of the Cadets persuaded Nicholas II to abdicate in favor of Michael. However, soon abdicated, and Michael. Russia was proclaimed a republic, and the government formed the Cadets and the moderate socialists (Mensheviks and Right SRs). Meanwhile, in Russia from exile returned to the leaders of radical socialists, the Bolsheviks called for a revolution following the example of Germany and the uprising in Petrograd. To suppress it, the prime minister, Prince Lvov, went to an agreement with the chief of the army Alekseev ("Pact of Lvov-Alekseev"). The Army has received a free hand in exchange for the government. The leaders of the Bolsheviks, Lenin and Kollontai, were killed and suppressed a rebellion in Petrograd, like the rural revolt. The capital was moved from Petrograd in Moscow

Meanwhile, using the fact that the Russian army occupied the suppression of the Bolsheviks, Poland invaded in Belarus (in summer of 1918) and fully captures it. At the same time, the Russian Ukraine declares independence and merged with Galicia in the Ukrainian National Republic, headed by Simon Petlyura. The Russian republic signed a Riga peace treaty, conceding the disputed territory of Poland and Ukraine. The right-wing nationalists, and declare it a "national disgrace", after which in 1919 overthrew the Russian government and prohibit left and liberal parties. President of Russia is Guchkov. But already in 1921 started a terrible famine in the Volga region. In such a situation, the military headed by Brusilov declare that "the government can not cope with the management," and establish a military dictatorship. Brusilov declared himself the Supreme Ruler of Russia (or regent). In place of the Russian Republic came to the Russian State

U.S. after WWI
Woodrow Wilson lost the presidential election in 1916 to his opponent- Charles Hughes (Republican Party). Wilson's drop in popularity was due to the fact that he, despite his promises, drew the U.S. into the war, from which the Americans have almost nothing (the European countries didn't manage to climb up to them in debt). In addition, the U.S. came to a large number of Mexican migrants who do not want to live in a socialist Mexico, many of which were criminal lifestyle. Began to emerge of movement, which advocating the establishment of a fascist dictatorship in the United States. At the same time, due to the Government's nationalization of Mexico's economy deteriorated Mexican-American relations. In addition, Americans have aroused fears of Japanese expansion in China, torn by wars of warlords

The period from 1916 to 1929, when the country was ruled by Republicans, went down in history of U.S. as the "Roaring Twenties". U.S. authorities at the time tried to market and isolationist policies minimaliziruya government intervention in the economy, which was seen as socialism. Fascist movements were gaining momentum, while, with the weakening of the Democratic Party that has lost popular support after retracting the U.S., increased yearning to power the Socialists, occasionally lifting the uprising against the government. The country is covered by the collision of racial and social basis

Amid all this chaos prevailed Imperial Party of America, a group of Fascists, technocrats, organized by the American entrepreneur Henry Ford. The basis of their ideology was the idea of the need to create a Pan-American state on the basis of U.S., which need to power over Earth, anti-Jewish racism, Jim-Crow, state-controlled capitalism and workers' participation in the profits of entrepreneurs through the creation of joint stock companies

Germany after WWI
After the First World War, Germany was proclaimed the German republic. All sectors of the economy were nationalized or transferred to the workers / peasants' cooperatives. The State Planning Commission was created to manage the economy, headed by Robert Michels and Rosa Luxemburg, after WWI returning to the socialist views (unlike the OTL). Reforms in the same direction going in the other socialist countries, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria. The ruling party of the German republic was the Socialist Workers Party (Sozialistische Arbeitpartei or SAP). At the same time, Germany has remained democratic state remained in the form of opposition Social Democrats and the liberal parties represented in Parliament, although all presidential elections (1916, 1920, 1924, 1928) were won by SAP. President of Germany from 1916 to 1924 was Theodore Liebknecht, from 1924 to 1932- Heinrich Brandler, leader of right-wing in the SAP. During the presidency of Liebknecht was Chancellor Hugo Eberlein, during the presidency of the Brandler- August Thalheimer. The main problem of Germany was the emigration of many German liberal and nationalist views, including well-known scholars such as Max Weber, from country

In Germany was created the Communist International- union of the far-left parties around the world. Were found a strong alliance with Hungary, Slovakia, and especially with Austria. In 1920 the Czech Republic, surrounded on all sides of the socialist countries, also Communists came to power. In 1922, the Italian Fascists, inspired by a military coup in Russia, attempted to seize power in Italy, but were stopped by the Italian Socialists, formed armed squads. In 1923 the Socialists rose in revolt against the monarchy and proclaimed the Socialist Republic of Italy. While in the south of the Royal Government with the help of British troops maintained their power in the north and center of the country found a friendly socialist government of Germany. Northern Italy was included in the International

But Germany hasn't only cooperated with the socialist countries. There was an alliance with the Baltic countries and Ukraine, which has been guaranteed protection from Poland and Russia. There has been economic co-operation with the Scandinavian social-democratic countries, as well as oil-rich Mexico and Romania (the latter was set up anti-Communist, but was interested in industrial technology in exchange for their oil). Have been established close ties with Bulgaria (in contrast to OTL Bulgaria has kept the Bulgarian Thrace and even annexed the Ottoman Thrace, and managed moderate socialist, not Fascists). In general, due to government regulation of the economy and cooperation with the majority of countries in Eastern Europe, the German economy in the twenties of the XX century has become the fastest growing economies in Europe (before the Great Depression)
