"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent"
-Winston Churchill
The year is 1949. The Berlin Blockade, an attempt by the Soviet Union to take complete control of Berlin, has ended. Tensions are now high only four years after the most devastating war the world has ever seen, and with the USSR testing their own nuclear weapon, war is once again on the horizon. With the future of the world uncertain, it is up to you to shape how events turn out. The struggle between Capitalism and Communism has the possibility to result in the end of humanity. Every choice you make will cause ripple effects down the line.
History: The timeline for now is the same as the real world. You can make your own fictional country if you want. POINT OF DIVERSION FOR MAJOR POWERS WILL BE LIMITED TO 1945. I'll place a timeline here in order to give you a brief overview of events, and before the IC starts, we'll have a concrete plan on what changes were made to ensure things work well. This is also a reboot of an earlier cold war rp, which was made by Derika. The timeline shows both real life events and alt history events.

No godmodding

No sudden troop movements or sudden victories
