Tibet is not China in this,but I'd like to see Japan is tear into two.

Tibet was invaded by China, but the UN managed to convince China to stop its invasion in exchange for Taiwan's seat on the Permanent Security Council.

1d4chan.org/wiki/Deathworld this, is a over the top history of magic nazi,super science soviets and fey british....
and american zombies, we canΒ΄t forget american zombies

I've recently read it. It is one project I found rather interesting due to how unique it was. I liked the part with the "Trinity" of Lenin. Trotsky, and Stalin's heads.

Indeed, the nazi and soviet are good but as some 4chan user have said, they are quite cliche(super scientst soviet vs nazi magicks) on the other hand, the american zombies are unique twist of the setting until the point they kind of forgot about the rest(like japan, they argue a lot)
But the project is let there because 4chan cant focus in something for more than 20 minutes, what a shame

It is a shame. It was awesome too

Oh, I see why Japan is split. Operation Β Downfall instead of two atomic bombs
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, and ended with five atom bombs

The development was delayed due to sabotage and in 1946 the Imperial Japanese Army secretly staged a coup when Emperor Hirohito began proposing peace when the Battle of Tokyo seemed imminent. Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, Sendai, and Maebashi were hit in 1947 after the Manhattan Project succeeded.

At least Tokyo wasn't bombed in this timelineΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
No, but 90% was destroyed during the battle.

Still, a nuke would've killed pretty much everyone, so AT LEAST it WASNT nuked,

Nice timeline! You forgot to list the color Light Green for Antarctica in the description though 
Also, what is the position of the Islamic states? Pro-USA, Pro-USSR or Third Faction?Β
I like this map, I really do.
π: 0 β©: 1
For the Islamic nations that would vary by country. Saudi Arabia and Jordan would be pro-US, while Libya and Syria would be pro-USSR. Most are in the Non-Aligned group.

Just wondering, how's the relations between China and the Soviet union in this world you've got going on? Is China like a third faction of the Cold War?
π: 0 β©: 1
In this timeline the Sino-Soviet split still occurred and was made worse when the USSR annexed Mongolia. Relations were finally rebuilt after Khrushchev was removed from power and the disputed boundaries between the USSR and China were peacefully resolved.

Ah, well I like it! Also Communist North Japan I'm assuming is sort of crazy like North Korea or am I wrong?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's not politically extreme like North Korea, but relations with South Japan are similar to Korean tensions. The government of North Japan is slowly reforming and relation with the south are being repaired. After the fall of the Soviet Union, North Japan is slowly moving to reunite with the south and Russia has signed treaties with South Japan to allow it to keep its bases in the north in the event of reunification.

I like this timelime, it's very well thought out.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks. I put a lot of thought and effort into it

Actually, I think that the Soviet Union would have collapsed sooner. Communism is simply a bad economic system. The Soviet Union itself was economically weak, and the smaller communist states would have collapsed without constant Soviet aid. With more mouths to feed, Soviet coffers would have drained all the faster, leading to an earlier collapse.
π: 0 β©: 1
It survived simply because of Medvev's purges and later reforms. The our TL, the Soviet Union collapsed for more reasons then its government's difficulties in economic planning such as the various nationals wanting independence and the desire for reform.

Wow, with so much support from all around the world, especially Afraca and Latin-America, unlike in our timeline, the USSR will sureyl stand a lot longer.
π: 0 β©: 2
Until 1999, but that was due to mass reforms at the wrong time

So Gorbachov bit of more than he could chew, like in our timeline? Will you maybe draw a map of that too, the brake-up of the communist block in this time? Would love to see Germany and especially Austria reunited. ^^

In this timeline, Gorbachev never gained power, instead Leonid Agapov became the leader. At first he continued Brezhnev's policies, but by the late 80's the Politburo wanted to replace him due his plans to introduce plans such as Glasnost and Perestroika. In 1989, after returning from Afghanistan, Marshal and high-ranking KGB and Party Member, Dmitri Bozhestvovich Medvev, quietly disposed of Agapov and was appointed General Secretary of the CPSU. When Premier Andrei Zubov learned of the assassination of Agapov, he tried to assassinate Medvev. When the attempt failed Zubov was blamed for the death of Agapov and Medvev used it to reintroduce Stalin's policies of the GULAG and the purges. Medvev was later declared Premier as well. At first tensions were high with the US until Medvev presented himself as a man of peace and repaired relations. Those were just a cover for the Soviet-American War (1996-1997). After the UN negotiated peace, the Medvev decided to democratize the Union as an attempt at repairing world relations and internal relations. Medvev's policies of ravnostnost (equality), were introduced to give each republic equal footing with each other and greater autonomy to the republics. In 1999, the Soviet Union finally collapsed as the republics decided to push for full independence. Medvev is still President of Russia.
As for the post-Soviet Union World, i've made one a month ago-[link]
The Austrias and Germanies reunited after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in 1998.

Wow, you are awesome, coming up with so many well done maps, and even providing the people with the info behind it. ^^
Would you say the world is a better one here or is it worse, for example in terms of technology or the problems in the third world?
π: 0 β©: 1
Technology was relatively equal between East and West. It is slightly ahead of our time as the digital revolution sped up in the 70's.

If Argentina and the Soviet Union are on the same side, does that mean that the 1982 Falkland War could be added as another "World War III" close call?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, but the Soviets chose to back down as they were more focused on Afghanistan and funding the communist forces in Brazil.
π: 0 β©: 1
So the British still regained the Falklands?

Does the Soviet Union continue to exist to the present day?
