Alaskocolumbia (Alaskan Independence)

History
In this universe, the United States won the war of 1812, annexing Canada in the process, leaving only a few western British colonies left, As these were annexed and bought over time, only Russian Alaska and the British Oregon Country remained. The Russians quickly bought the northern British part of the territory for 28 million rubles, and expanded it’s influence in it by building cities and forts. And the colony was named Alaskocolumbia, in coronation with British Columbia.

Over time, the colony’s population grew with russian citizens moving there due to the inevitable war in Europe. In this timeline oil was found much sooner, which attracted trading nations like the USA.

The Great War and The Russian Revolution
During the Great War, Russia extracted resources from the nation to fuel it’s war effort, which somewhat helped but still lead to a defeat, and eventually the revolution.

After the Bolsheviks had secured most of Russia, Tsar Nicholas and his family fled to the colony, declaring independence as the Tsardom Of Alaskocolumbia. It then made an alliance with the Americans to avoid Soviet aggression.

The Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression
The 1920s were great for the nation, which was enjoying tourists, trade with the USA, and a booming economy.

Eventually, The Great Depression hit, and the country was having to deal large amounts of oil, which slowed it‘s economy and severed ties with the United States.

And in 1933, Tsar Nicholas II died of a heart attack, and the population grieved his death.

The next day, Prince Alexei Nikolaevich was made Tsar at the age of 29, and began his attempt at pulling out of the depression by following some paths made by Franklin Roosevelt in the New Deal.

World War II
After the Depression had ended and Europe was drawn into conflict, the country saw itself at risk of invasion by either the Soviets or Japanese.

Due to the Soviets hating the fact they had lost a territory to the Tsardom, they leaned more towards the Axis Powers, and strengthened their alliance with Germany.

Shortly after the fall of France on June 28, 1940, the Soviets attacked with Skirmishes in the Bering Sea.

The nation begged the USA to help, but it was staying neutral, so the country was forced to defend itself with limited aid from the country. For a while, it was able to keep the Soviet war effort back by using full military force.

Resources were running low by November 1941, and the country was on it’s last defense before the Soviets pushed in and invaded their land.

However good luck arrived in December 1941 when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, bringing the US into the war.

The Americans sent reinforcements and volunteers, which pushed the Soviets back to their original defenses.

The Alaskocolumbians helped in the war against Japan, and eventually the Pacific Theater and Alaskan Campaign ended, And the Americans went to focus on Europe.

However, since the Soviets had sided with the Axis, a land invasion of occupied France or Germany was impossible, and both sides were stuck in a standstill in Africa and Asia with no end in sight.

On February 5th, 1945, the war ended in a stalemate.

Three-Sided Cold War
Soon after the war, The Chinese Civil War resumed, bringing the country under communist rule.

Tensions slowly grew between the USSR and Germany and Italy, and the Soviets form an alliance with China and their puppet of East Poland, The Leningrad Pact. While the western powers form the Global Treaty Organization, and alliance between the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Alaskocolumbia, and Iceland.

In 1953, a revolution began on the Carribean island of Cuba, between Axis-backed Batista, LP-backed Castro, and non-sided citizen partisans supported by the GTO.

This Triple-Cold War lasted from 1947 to 1971, when Germany collapsed due to political and economic instability after Hitler’s death, Italy began democratic reforms soon after, and former Fascist Nations turned to western ideals, leaving the GTO and LP in another Cold War that lasts to this day.
