Description
This is a map of the world of Timeline-191 at the end of 1944 in the immediate aftermath of the Second Great War. It's designed to be a precursor to Timeline 191: After the End by David bar Elias . The map itself was made by Zoidberg12 on alternatehistory.com. It is his creation and all rights to it go to him.

It is February 1, 1945, the day of Thomas Dewey's inauguration to the presidency, and the face of the world has changed since the end of the Second Great War last year. In North America, the United States bestrides the continent like a colossus. Since the unconditional surrender of the Confederate States in July, the Stars and Stripes fly from the Arctic to the Gulfs of California and Mexico. Utah is currently under martial law and will remain so indefinitely until a solution can be found for the Mormon problem. The Republic of Texas pretends that it is an independent nation, but is really a US satellite, and it is widely believed that the Republic will eventually be (re)incorporated into the US; a goal including all former Confederate states, and possibly the former provinces of occupied Canada.

In the Far East, Japan bestrides Asia just like the US in North America. The Japanese signed a peace treaty with Great Britain, with the latter ceding Hong Kong, Singapore, Sarawak, Burma, and Malaysia to the former. Currently, they hold large parts of territory in eastern China (which he did wrong) and are launching an incursion into Siberia (which he forgot to show).

In Europe, Germany and Austria-Hungary reign supreme. The Treaty of Aachen, signed in July and signifying the surrender of the European Entente to the Central Powers, firmly cemented their dominance. The points of the treaty include:
• The recognition of Germany’s jurisdiction over Belgium.
• The occupation of Northwestern France for a period of no less than twenty years.
• France loses French Equatorial Africa, Madagascar, and all of its West African colonies to Germany. Austria-Hungary gains the Seychelles and Reunion.
• Britain is forced to sever all formal political ties with South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, and loses Botswana, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, the Gambia, and Nyasaland to Germany. Ireland’s independence is recognized. Malta is transferred to Austria-Hungary. In a separate agreement, Britain is also forced to surrender Winston Churchill and Oswald Mosley for a war crimes trial in Germany.
• Russia is forced to recognize the independence of the Baltic states, Finland, Belarus, Azerbaijan, and Chechnya.
• The US’s jurisdiction over all French and British Caribbean colonies is recognized, and the US also gains French Polynesia, the Gilbert Islands, the Cook Islands, and New Caledonia. Guatemala gains British Honduras, while Brazil gains both British Guyana and French Guinea.
• All three nations are forced to admit to war guilt, as well as pay a huge level of restitution for damages caused in the conflict. Britain, France, and Russia are also forbidden from maintaining large armies or navies, or from possessing any weapons of mass destruction.

Right now, the US and Germany have agreed to a doctrine formulated by President Dewey to police the world and prevent the spread of superbombs; a crystal clear message that the final article in the Treaty of Aachen will be very much enforced.
