@Born in the USSA
Idea
- a timeline that reverses some of the themes of LTTW
- even more of the world being colonised (a la
Separated at Birth) with the remainder divided between fewer western Empires (no Belgium for instance)
- the
Four Great Empires: Britain, a *US [1] Russia and mainland Europe with
19th century puppet states in Europe, parts of Asia etc., a few independent states in South America, Anatolia, Arabia etc.
- only one (nuclear, global in scope)
world war that results in the formation of a true world government with nuclear monopoly that views surviving separate national identities as something to be stamped out or at least subordinated to human identity
- lots of post apocalyptic interventions to crush warlords, reconstruct the world etc.
[1] The loss of the US drove British expansion in India (and eventually the Indian ocean Rim), and for other powers to compete with Britain
