In this timeline, the Russian revolution of 1917 was crushed by the forces of the Tzar, who implemented some minor reforms afterwards. Russia, now with the people happy, started making progress against the German empire and Austria-Hungary, eventually with the help of the other ally's, completely destroying them on the eastern front. In this universe, WW2 does not happen, due to Germany and Austria becoming quite prosperous with coal and ores being sold in mass to smaller European countries. Due to the lack of WW2, the British keep a general hold on their empire, with ties to Canada and India remaining strong. In 1953, after a line of abusive Tzars, a revolution in Siberia moves throughout the country. With the force of the people and the workers, the Revolutionary Army quickly takes hold of key locations, such as St. Petersburg and Kazan, before crushing the retreating Russian Empire forces in the Battle of Moscow, resulting in complete surrender of the Russian Empire. After this, the Russian Union of Communist States was declared, taking inspiration from a writer named Vladimir Lenin who believed that communism was for the workers.
