Red Flood Timeline

The timeline diverges from our own when the Russian Empire achieves a more favorable outcome from the Russo-Japanese War, resulting in a longer and deadlier World War I where Germany eventually defeated France, but was then themselves defeated by Russia. The war ended in a messy state of affairs as both the UK and Russia were weakened by the length of the conflict, meaning that nobody technically won World War One.

In the aftermath of the war without victors was great political turmoil across the globe. Political chaos and extreme ideologies rose on all corners of the Earth. A successful Spartacist Revolution turned Germany into a Communist state, France was overtaken by the radical ideology of Futurism led by avant-garde art movements, and Russia became a right-wing dictatorship under Alexander Kolchak.
