Red Star of Yugolavia-Timeline

Interbellum
Start of the Spanish Civil War: Jose Antonio de Rivera manages to not get caught and executed by the Republicans, but still finds himself butting heads with Franco ending up with Jose fleeing to Argentina

June 5th, 1938, Treaty of Rome,The Spanish State/Nationalist Spain receives joint guarantees of Independence by the Triple Alliance, and effectively joins the Axis, confirmed 4 months later in a secret alliance

June-July 1938, Tensions in France between the socialists and conservatives arise as the socialists are outrage that France did nothing while the 2nd Spanish Republic was falling to the fascist armies, or now that it's clear they have ties to the germans and Mussolini; Tensions only increase after the Anchluss and Treaty of Munich

(WW2 starts like OTL)

WW2
1940: The Axis invades Yugoslavia, shortly afterwards, the Tvoj committee is formed, led by communist croatian revolutionary, Josip Broz Tito

1940, La Resistance forms, seeing as many socialists had their grievances with the Government,and with them seeing the Fall of France, and extension of Fascism into France, following the founding of the Vichy Government, many including the PCF did not hesitate in picking up arms far earlier than OTL, as many were already organized, La Resistance still received about as much help from the former International Brigades and many spanish leftists

1944, Battle of Belgrade, Tito and the Red Army liberate Belgrade, this spells doom for the Eastern Front, and allows the Partisans to grow stronger, as the Yugoslav Partisans manage to liberate Zagreb shortly after, even reaching Trieste 2 weeks before the allies(faster than OTL); The liberation of many of these areas, especially on the Adriatic Coast allows many italian communists to join, minimizing the ethnic cleansing of italians in Dalmatia, but not by much

1944-1945, Following a much harsher war in Africa due to spanish aid to the Axis, in both attempting to crush the brittish in Gibraltar and in the attaempt to take Malta as well as on the ground in North Africa, the spainiards fail, Ceuta falls in March, as the allies land in Almeria in July, unlike Italy, however, the spanish don't intend to surrender, by late September the Allies are at the gates of Cordoba behind the Guadalqavir river, by late Obtober a detachment of mostly Brittish bust also Free French, American and Canadian troops go around the Guadalaqvir, crushing trough the defence line put up by the spanish in the mountains and hills of South-Eastern Spain, reaching the Jucar River, 2 weeks later, the line of the Guadalqavir is broken as the allies push up to the Guadiana river, with the Spanish and Vichy French with some German detachments holding back the allies in a desperate effort; At the same time in Barcelona, ex-workers and former leaders from multiple unions, mostly from CNT and UGT, multiple Organizations, including FAI, POUM, variuous Basque autonomists or generally basque leftists and multiple social democratic organization revive the Popular Front,and 3 days later begin a general strike and multiple riots ending in fire exchange that eventually on November the 15th evolves into a revolt, the revolt quickly takes relatively de-militarized Barcelona, by November 30 all of Catalonia was liberated, with the Guadania line being broken by the allies at about the same time, most of the Spanish Army retreating behind the Tago river and fortifying in Toledo by December 12th, with the Jucar line pending to fall, the Brittish Navy takes the Balearics at about that time; The revolt spreads, Navarre, the Basque Country, all fall to the Revolt, now a revolution, the revolutionaries even get to Valencia 3 days before the allies; The push for Madrid was done by both sides,in January, in the end the city was liberated jointly with the allies entering Madrid 2 hours before the Revolutionaries, with them meeting at the Royal Palace, most of the Spanish Government evacuated to Salamanca, where many decided to stand and fight, Slamanca was liberated by February the 2nd by the Revolutionaries, with Franco fleeing to Portugal, and from there to Argentina; On February 12 the Revolutionaries had liberated Andorra, crossing trough the Andorran Roads and Valley and using Andorran Infrastructure to more easily reach the south of France, they reached Tolouse by March 1st; France is liberated and the Soviets enter Berlin followed by German surrender shortly afterwards

1946: Yugoslavia is officially Socialist and Bulgaria and Albania are annexed

Between the War and the Yugo-Soviet Split
On February the 16th, a date chosen symbolically, the 3rd Spanish Republic was declared, with a reformed PCE also joining in, on March the 1st, under the excuse with collaboration with the axis, the 3rd Spanish Republic, in alliance with some leftist resistence groups, invades Portugal, the war lasting only 2 months

The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was declared soon after too, having Worker's Councils as part of the League of Communists lead each of the Republics or autonomous zones:

* Slovenia

* Croatia

* Bosnia

* Serbia

** Vojvodina

* Albania

** Kosovo

* Macedonia

* Bulgaria

Yugoslavia started Rebuilding and soon got stronger

1946-1948: While relations between the USSR and Yugoslavia are becoming more sour, instead of giving up on the Democratic Army of Greece, Tito decides to take over, supplying medics, experts and weapons to the DAG, even small expeditionary forces, eventually allowing them to take Salonika and all of  Greek Macedonia, this People’s Republic of Greece, effectiveley a JNA Proxy, gets absorbed, as soon does Thrace

France 1946: After the La 4eme Republique de France is established, France enjoys for a few months stability and the boosts it needed to begin reconstruction, even so, La Resistance and the remaining fascists that had not been purged openly by the French Army had multiple clashes with De Gaulle, that wanted to purge the communists, and ensure there will be no more fascists, this at about the time of The Left Front’s Creation, a union of leftists of all colours, from Marxist-Leninist to Anarchist, including Basque and Occitan and Catalan Autonomists and Council Communists, as well as incorporating many unions, once DeGaulle started doing crackdowns in 1948-1951, Riots and revolts happened nationwide, while the remaining fascists and their small militias in hiding, together with other brand new fascist organisations like the PNF, started their revolt in the South, due to Soviet support being given(which  the communists reluctantly accepted, but would by 1960 cut all ties with the USSR), and massive fascist uprisings that rivaled the Communist Partisans in the South, the USA decided not to step in the war directly in doing anything but defending West Germany

The Early Cold War
Following the 1952 Trieste uprising, the Italians and Yugoslavians decided to discuss on ending the Free CIty of Trieste and divide it by the Zones, Zona A to Italy and Zona B to SFRJ, but since the CIA had just been forced to crack down on Communism in Italy, the Allies did not trust a communist power, despite the Tito-Stalin split, and the negotiations fell apart, what followed however, was an attempted explusion out of Italy of many communists, while this expulsion affected less than 10% of ialian communists, and most fled to Spain or San Marino, thousands fled into Trieste, causing a crisis that grew into a communist takeover, supported by the PCI, the shortlived communist rule of Trieste was not ended by the Italians or the allies, but by the Yugoslavians who not but 2 weeks later "peacefully integrated" Trieste, allowing them to their own SR however(limited to Zona A), with plans to incorporate them into the Slovenian SR in a similar vein to how Salonika and Skopje operate together, in a hypothetical point after Udine and Carinthia would be liberated

The Cold War stayed largely the same, with a bigger Yugoslavia being more of a pain for the Soviets to deal with

End of the Cold War
The USSR 1989-1994 Following the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the USSR saw a resurgence in reformism, but reformism counter to Glasnov i Perestroika, which from 1988 and the start of the Singing Revolution, as well as the failure of the Soviet Economy following mass privatization A new clique of reformist neo-leninist intellectuals formed, in the USSR and within the Party, in strong contrast to the Nationalists led by Boris Yeltsin and Alexander Lukhashenko, that appeared with the rise of  a new Oligarch class as a result of mass privatization, for a time, it appeared the USSR may, while distebalized, go on China’s path of “Socialism”, untill the 17th of March of 1990, when the KGB found out Vyautas Landsbergis shall declare to the Supreme Soviet in Moskva that Lithuania is officially leaving the Union as a sovereign nation, when he did try to do that, the next day on the 18th, the KGB arrested him in front of a Live “Vremya” coverage, on the basis of High Treason. This did indeed send a message that the Union will not tolerate seccession, and decided that they shall fight the Armed Singing Revolutionaries Only a few weeks later, a west german amateur pilot landed in Moscow, as the diplomatic was solved with the amateur being allowed to return, the population was outraged, the reformists had now being part of many organisations, especially the KGB Following new commercial treaties with the West, but also condemnations, and pressures by the West to “Let the Baltics go”,and the elaboration of a new treaty to be signed in 1991 to fully cement a Soviet transition to the chinese model, and allowance for all the rebellious SSRs to leave if they so choose, the reformists, in collaboration with many disillusioned parts of the army, had started to do a coup against Gorbaciov and the whole Glasnov i Perestroika administration, on the 10th of August, 1990, that this time was a triumphing success, in the following turmoil, Yeltsin tried to grasp a base, even encouraging nationalistic movements in the now many discontent Republics (The Baltics, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaidjan, Turkmenistan) The reformists were forced to remove from their interim administration Pro-Yeltsin and Glasnov i Perestroika key figures and oligarchs, as redo many re-collectivization efforts, in what was portrayed in Western Media as “a 2nd Great Purge” The Interim Soviet Administration inherited a lingering corpse, and their Neo-Leninist Ultra-progressive program went against the Traditionalist values the Soviet Leadership and Populace came to hold, it included the undoing of all Stalinist Deportations, the reestablishemnt of the Volga German ASSR, undonig the atrocities against the Jews in the USSR, establishing a program for the Siberian native to create something similar to american reservations, religalize LGBT activity, and renationalize all Privatized Industry, and fully rethinking the SSR system This in combination with Western Pressures put a lot of stress on the already ravaged USSR, but since it managed to suvrive intact trough the Reform Period, it is clear that the Worst has passed, there is only hope that the Soviet Leadership and populace will have enough strength and brilliance to lead the USSR to the light at the end of the tunnel

What the Yugoslavians did starting with 1987, was take over where the soviets left off, and supporting many socialist nations that looked like they were going too fall, in order to influence them, in 1991 even saving Afganistan by sending an expeditionary forced that manage to keep Kabul from falling and helping the Afgan Democratic Republic keep the Taliban at bay for 3 years now

In 1992, Yugoslavia and many of their allies have formed the "Belgrade Pact" after the Warsaw Pact dissolved, to contrast it and NATO, being a Military and economic alliance that also occasionally funds development; Yugoslavia remained a head of the Non-Aligned Movement

Tensions are rising between ethnic groups in Rwanda and Burundi, as the Liberalization of the USSR and a return to more classical socialism has scared the CCP and inspired a surge of insurgents in China that want to topple the very young but very promising Economic Reform Establishment CCP led by Deng Xiaoping; only time will tell how this new situation the world finds itself will reflect on the world

Scenario Ending
The scenario, for now, ends on January 1st, 1994
