POD
With the Crushing of the Nazis and the massive decolonization effort, many of Britains colonies wanted independance, instead of independance reforms were put into place which gave all British controlled states/Dominions equal say in the politics of the Empire. This led to an unusually stable influence still in the Middle East, the Creation of Israel without issues and their subsequent arming by both the British Empire and the US. The Survival of the British Empire saw the need of the Soviet Union to Create another power on par with their own to be their ally to counteract the Influence of the US and British which were closely tied together following the Second World War. Without the Collapse of the Empire mant Humanitarian and terrorist Issues in the Middle East remained non existant and By 1975 These were some of the most resource productive parts of the Empire.

Union of Germany
The defecting of a solider ended in the deaths of East German border gaurds. Conflict between East and West Germany was seen as inevitable, East German forces crossed the Iron Curtain and were subsequently destroyed as the Western German forces taking advantage of the Soviet's predicament in tackling 2 seperate powers Globally advanced far into East Germany with some units reported reaching Berlin. Soviet forces subsequently pulled out and deployed along bordering nations. East Germany fell and the Union of Germany was complete.



Chinese Expansion
With the loss of Germany and the subsequent unrest caused by the fall of Communism in Germany the USSR looked for other ways to expand its influence, Korea was not an option, but Indo-China especially the US involving in Vietnam winding down, Soviet influence expanded exponentially as US hardliners finally got control of the Vietnamese conflict. North Vietnam was in the crosshairs to be invaded by US forces. Soviet and now even Chinese forces were seen all throughout Indo-China preparing something. The planned US pull out was still scheduled and the North-South cease fire was violated near immediately. When the war looked hopeless for South Vietnam US forces surged foreward exponentially their pull out staged and within 1 month North Vietnam was in full retreat. To Avoid conflict and to keep plans secret the USSR and Chinese dont aid Communist North. By 1977 North Vietnam and South Vietnam are united under the South while the Rest of Indo-China surprisingly falls to Soviet Supported Chinese.

1981 Fall of an Empire


By 1981 the British empire is suffering as infrastructure unrepaired infrastructure from the various environmental and communist Geurilla fights causing damage. The Empire was in clear and present danger of falling apart opening the way for Sino-Soviet forces to take the oil laden Middle East and preassure India into joining their Bloc. With the fall imminent the US organized the takeover of much of the Empire which became widely accepted as the US as of recently was seen as a bastion of peace and stability.

By late 1981 the takeover was complete and much of the British Empire fell under US control while a domestically powerful Britain began the Formation of a singular nation of Europe co-opted and heavily supported by Germany. Talks begin in creating the European Federation.
