What if the Great Rapprochement Failed?

During World War 1, America joined the Central Powers in 1917 and extended the war to 1921. Despite the efforts of both American and European Central Powers, they lost and suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Entente.
Shortly after the war, the Kapp Putsch occured and, after a short standoff between Germany and the Entente, Germany kept its military leadership at the cost of a harsher treaty. The German freikorps were never disbanded however and now act as a pan european paramilitary organization promoting a pan germanic state.

America, both bitter and resentful of the entente, made signifigant changes to the country. Because of the war, Americans became more francophobic, anglophobic, and anti-slavic while embracing other ethnic groups such as the Germanic and Irish peoples. America also decided that rather than remove stars from the great american flag, the American flag itself would change. On top of this, the American people have subscribed to this idea that there once was an American Empire that was on its way to greatness but its future was cut short by the Entente and now the Second American Empire rises.

Ameirca also made constitutional changes in which the presidency lasts longer since elections were viewed as a reason for their loss since elections during wartime caused problems. Now before an election, the highest ranking American military official would become the commander in cheif of America to ensure her safety during the tranition stage of american presidents.

The Russian Revolution lasted longer and was bloodier than any civil war in history. In the end, due to many factors including extended entente supplies, an extended world war, and Lavr Kornilov’s survival, the White Army of Russia was able to defeat the communist forces. While this victory would be viewed as a heroic moment, it was only the beginning of the red menace. With the defeat of the communists, many red émigré subscribed to the idea of the global revolution and spreading communism to the whole world. Communists spread throughout the world bringing their ideology with them. This would lead to communists becoming stronger in hungary and china but the next major revolution would happen in the British Empire.

If you ask a canadian where the British Revolution began, they will say it started in Winnipeg. If you ask a Brit, they will say it started on the home islands. regardless of who is right, in 1934 a communist uprising began shortly after the 1933 crash of the london stock market. In only a short while the British Empire began to collapse and the once great superpower left a power vacuum that the former central powers were all to happy to fill.

now with the depression in full swing and the former entente members to weak to properly stop their enimies, the clock drifts one minute closer to midnight.
