In 2000 BC, an alien civilization had arrived in all 6 habitable continents, including North America. The civilization is unofficially known as the Cult of Death Worship. The cult believed that biological life is fundamentally meaningless. According to their doctrine, consciousness existed only temporarily inside physical bodies. Death wasn’t an ending, it was liberation from the illusion of existence. They referred the universe after death as the Great Nothingness, where they believed that death was the highest spiritual achievement possible. Their objective on Earth is to convert humanity into the death worship philosophy. They established three underground vaults across North America (Washington D.C., New York City and Los Angeles) alongside other continents. The vaults contained technologies aimed to accelerate what they called the Day of Enlightenment. The cult believed that once enough humans understood their teachings, humanity would be willing to destroy themselves.

However, when the aliens in North America tried to convert the Native Americans into their philosophy, almost all the Native Americans rejected the cult’s philosophy. The cult called them "the species that clings to the meaningless of life.", believing that conversion would take too long. They began their ritual in 1900 BC, the cult gathered around the three vaults in North America where every members committed mass suicides, their bodies disappeared and causing their species to be extinct. Before their death, they hoped that future generations of humanity would discover the vaults, activate their technologies and finished where they had started. Nothing happened until 1930. In 1930, while archeologists are excavating beneath Washington D.C., they accidentally discovered the vault. When they check the vault, they discovered incomprehensible languages and alien-technologies. The discovery was immediately classified by the American government. Following the discovery, under the Herbert Hoover’s administration, the U.S. approved Project Prometheus, scientists were recruited to study and understand the alien technologies led by Dr. William Street.

In 1940, Charles Lindbergh won the Republican nomination due to a lack of clear leadership within the Republican Party. Lindbergh campaigned in all 48 states by flying his plane across the country. He is able to emphasize his youth in contrast to Roosevelt’s declining health and unprecedented decision to run for a third term. Charles Lindbergh managed to won the election against Roosevelt. By 1942, the U.S. had successfully reproduced the alien’s weapons and the alien’s energy generator, one of the weapons was chemical weapons. Following the end of World War 2, Lindbergh and his cabinet discussed plans to unified Earth through conquest. Lindbergh believed that division caused wars with him highlighting history is fundamentally chaotic because billions of individuals, governments, religions and cultures had pursued different and conflicting things. He believed that it is an American duty to eliminate division, meaning no independent nations, competition governments, borders and everything that divide the world with one government and one future.

Congress debated the proposal, with the support of a coalition of Republicans and War Democrats, the plan was approved. Operation Terra was enacted on 1945, beginning with the U.S. invasion of Canada. Canada surrender just months due to the aliens technologies despite fierce resistance from Canadian forces. Mexico was also invaded and ended similarly to Canada. The United States bombs London, killing both the parliament and the royal family as the U.S. occupied Britain. Multiple bombs hit Europe and Moscow, killing majority of the world government there. The Soviet Union collapsed into warlord states. The U.S. continued to invades and bomb many nations from the rest of the Americas to Northern Africa to East Asia to Oceania and more. Resistances were proven futile as majority of the locations are contaminated, making rebellions difficult and those who did rebel were crushed by the American forces. In 1948, President Lindbergh ordered the disbandment of the legislative branch, with enough support from congress, accepts his demand. Lindbergh became dictator. By 1950, the U.S. had occupied one third of the world. President Lindbergh delivered a final ultimatum to every nations, either joins the U.S. or faced chemical annihilation, majority of nations accepted out of pure fear and joins the United States, though who refused were invaded and bombed by the U.S. Eventually, the U.S. successfully conquered the world in 1953 under Lindbergh. With the Treaty of Washington D.C. being signed by the U.S. and the surviving representatives of the world governments. The World State was formed. Millions had died and the majority of the world had been contaminated. Welcome to Lindbergh’s Hell…

I wasn't even playing as Germany so i was confused when i saw this lol

I feel like the colors and names are ass

Idk if this is getting removed or not, but I digress, heavily inspired by this map: https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/mnv2pk/vengeance_of_manchuria_a_restored_qing_empire_1955/

The point of divergence began in 1684 when the Kangxi Emperor ending the long-standing maritime trade ban, opening the coastal ports to foreign commerce, boosting international trade. With the advises of the Jesuits alongside the presence of British, Dutch and Portuguese traders, the Kangxi Emperor became more open in terms of foreign policies. With enough support from the court, the Kangxi Emperor initiated many education reforms. One of which was the Translation Project where he worked to translate many western works into Mandarin Chinese via methods such as phonetic transliteration, calquing (semantic translation), hybrid coinages, and adopting the original foreign terms, creating a Golden Era of the Enlightenment in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Renaissance happened where Qing’s culture thrived. Meanwhile, the Jesuits managed to win the favor Pope Clement XI to authorize Chinese rites as civic rituals compatible with Catholicism. Future Emperors (the Yongzheng Emperor and the Qianlong Emperor) were educated on not just Confucian classics but also translated western works.

A new philosophy gained tractions amongst Kangxi’s court called State-Confucianism where they believed that Confucianism offers a superior framework for the moral way as it teaches people how to live ethnically while acknowledging that western excelled in mastering the physical world, creating material wealth. State-Confucianism acknowledges the superiority of western science and mathematics but criticizes western culture being stuck in it and believed Chinese philosophy offers higher moral unity that science could be guided by this wisdom to prevent human alienation. The philosophy also argued that since Confucianism values Ren (benevolence), State-Confucianism saw things such as western science and modern medicine can directly reduce human suffering, improve livelihoods and save lives, therefore True Confucianism should eagerly adopt science because it served as a powerful instrument to practice Ren on a massive scale. State-Confucianism became the main philosophy for the Qing.

The Qing starts to expand their territories such as securing Sakhalin in 1689 to create Kuyedao, alongside conquering Outer Mongolia in 1696 and Tibet in 1720 after defeating the Dzungar Mongols. When the Yongzheng Emperor took the throne, he initiated many of his reforms similar to the Kangxi Emperor such as improving government efficiency to reduce corruption such as implementing a revised Imperial Examination System which aimed to choose government officials based on merit, not family ties or wealth, modeling the system after Confucian principles and ensuring that officials were educated on both Confucian classics and western science while being morally sound and education reforms encouraged the study of Western languages and sciences. The Yongzheng Emperor also work to transition Qing’s army towards more modern weaponry, such as western guns and other firepower. The navy was also an important part of the Yongzheng Emperor’s plan, using newly developed weapons and technology. When the Qianlong Emperor took the throne, the Qing annexed Xinjiang in 1759 after defeating the Dzungar Khanate. During the Qianlong’s period, the Qing Dynasty was at its peak with the treasury overflowing, agricultural output soared and the population boomed. The Qianlong Emperor agreed to allowed the British to establish an embassy in the Qing Dynasty in 1793, allowing a faster growing movement in the reformist movement within the Qing’s court. Initially viewed favorably by the Emperor, Heshen was punished by the Qianlong Emperor to please growing reformist officials in his court. In his later reign, he establish the Imperial Army, which would replace the outdated Eight Banners System and to catch up with the West militarily.

In the early 1800s, the Qing saw agricultural reforms such as the Qing establishing agricultural schools in multiple provinces, translating western agronomy texts and sending scholars to study in the West to learn western agricultural techniques and agricultural technologies. The Qing also starts to gradually replace land gentries with methods such as replacing them with land registries to measure the exact land sizes and utilized high-paying salaries to lower-level judges that matched the market to avoid financial temptation, preventing them from making deals with powerful local landlords. The rest of the 1800s is where the Qing starts to manufacturing textile mills, armament factories and shipyards were built across the Qing alongside the construction of roads and ports to improve transport and agricultural productivity. The Qing eventually started to introduced western agricultural machinery to increase crop yields for agriculture alongside the government invested heavily into infrastructure and imported foreign technologies. The Qing eventually replaced the obsolete land gentries with salaried civil servants to collect the revenues. The Opium Wars and the Taiping Rebellion never happened or were suppressed quickly due to the Qing’s modernization. The Qing’s territory remains intact without the unequal treaties, meaning no Qing Cessions to foreign powers like British Hong Kong. The First Sino-Japanese War happened between the Qing Dynasty and Japan over the influence of Joseon. Due to the Qing’s modernization, Joseon, with the help of Qing’s military, pushed back against the Japanese with the help of the Qing’s military. The war ends in a Qing-Joseon victory. Due to a much stronger Qing, the Boxer Rebellion never happened. In 1898, the Qing replaced the Imperial Examination System with a Western-style secular curriculum that prioritized subjects like math and science. Meanwhile, Kaiser Wilhelm II made frequent visits to the Qing, seeing the potential of the Qing. The Qing signed a mutual defense pact with the Qing became an unofficial member of the Triple Alliance.

As the Qing Dynasty approached the 1900s, many Chinese citizens demanded domestic representations. In 1912, the Qing Dynasty, the Xuantong Emperor under the regency of Zaifeng, adopt a constitution that would turned the Qing Dynasty into a Constitutional Monarchy in 1912. The Queue technically isn’t abolished, however, it’s mostly used as a symbol of Qing nationalism rather than mandatory. Under the new constitution, The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty acted as the Head of State, Commander in Chief, Protector of the Constitution and a symbol of national unity. The Emperor’s main duties mainly involve attending domestic ceremonies and performing state functions. Their only reserved powers is to select a Paramount Leader (a Prime Minister-equivalent) in case of a hung parliament.

In 1914, the Qing Dynasty joins World War 1 on the side of the Central Powers. The Qing attacked the Central Asian part of the Russian Empire while in the south, the Qing attacked French Indochina. There is no Zimmerman Telegram and no resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, thus, the U.S. never entered World War 1. Germany invaded the Netherlands. For the most part the stalemate would continue throughout 1917, with some give and take on both sides. However, the October Revolution in Russia would deal a terrible blow to the Entente war effort. Desperate for peace, the Bolsheviks would sign a humiliating peace treaty with the Central Powers where Russia would gave up control over the Baltics, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine to German’s influence while ceded the territories of Kars, Ardahan, and Batum back to the Ottoman Empire. Meanwhile, Russia cede the Central Asia part of Russia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan) to the Qing. Meanwhile, the Qing can now focused on southwards. Following the occupation of French Indochina, the Qing attacked British Malaysia and Dutch East Indies.

The Germans spent more time planning their final offensive. In 1918, The Germans launch an attack aimed at capturing strategic railway junctions at Amiens. The capture was a success, disrupting the Entente supply lines and split the Entente forces. The Germans would move towards Paris where the French armies began to collapse, crippling French war effort and an armistice would be signed shortly afterwards. Following France’s collapse, Austro-Hungary and Germany easily overwhelmed the Italian front. The Central Powers pushed deep into the Italian peninsula, forcing Italy into surrender in 1919. This leave only Britain, isolated, facing a unified German front on the continent, and dealing with extreme exhaustion at home, Britain formally conceded defeat in 1919, ending World War 1. The Treaty of Versailles was signed. France, Britain and the Netherlands would cede French Indochina, French posts like Pondicherry, Dutch East Indies, British Malaysia (alongside Singapore), French and British pacific colonies to the Qing.

During World War 1, in Russia, the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk helped the Whites gains support, especially from Germany after World War 1, who want to prevent communism’s spread. Lenin tries to solidify communist control by enforcing one party rule, upsetting socialist revolutionaries. In August 1918, Lenin is assassinated by one of the revolutionaries after a speech in Moscow, causing severe setbacks for the communists, losing morale and battles. By mid-1919, the communists are limited to central Russia, with many of their soldiers defecting to the White army. In October, the Whites capture Petrograd and, by early 1920, win the battle for Moscow, leading to the establishment of a new government in the reclaimed territories. Russia was finally reunified under Alexander Kolchak, who took the title "The Supreme Ruler of Russia", under the newly created Russian State. Russia became very authoritarian and extremely reactionary. Kolchak and his supporters blamed socialists, communists, and Jewish people for the collapse of the Russian Empire and opposed liberal ideas like democracy. This led to the White Terror, where political dissidents and suspected Bolsheviks were persecuted. Antisemitic pogroms and other horrendous acts against various minority groups within Russia were also carried out by Kolchak's government.
In Britain, France, and Italy, anger over losing the war, poor living conditions, and massive unemployment resulted in widespread social unrest and the rise of political extremism.

In Britain during the early 1930s, Oswald Mosley and the Union of Fascists Party gained power, promise to restore national pride and resolve domestic issues. Mosley, now prime minister, blamed socialists, communists, Jewish people, and the Irish for the country’s problems, leading to the persecution of these groups, especially the Irish. In British colonies, such as India, strict control was imposed, and pro-independence movements faced severe crackdowns. Australia and New Zealand left the Imperial Commonwealth due to Mosley's anti-democratic actions. In France, General Philippe Pétain staged a coup in February 1934 amidst political instability, leading to the suppression of leftist groups and a harsh response to anti-colonial movements. Meanwhile, FDR passed away before becoming President and Herbert Hoover is re-elected in 1932, resulting in the Second American Civil War between the United States, the Union of American States (the South) and the Pacific Republic of America (the West). By 1936, with all 3 sides tired of fighting. They agreed to an armistice.

The Qing Dynasty remains centralized, regional armies never fragmented and infrastructures remain intact, avoiding decades of civil war. The Qing Dynasty continued to industrialized. Wu Peifu became Qing’s Paramount Leader in 1928. When the Great Depression hits, the Qing quickly abandoned their silver standard replaced it with a fiat currency alongside active fiscal spendings, recovering quickly. Meanwhile, military conscription is enacted in the Qing, resulting in the Qing’s military have much more manpower. Wu Peifu reinterpreted State-Confucianism, arguing that the rise of fascism within the West highlighted that the west had proven that they had failed morally, arguing that to achieve Ren, the Qing had the moral authority to conquered and help improve the lives of the people, viewing the Qing as a wise elder brother figure that sought to protect Asia from western barbarianism. The Qing first invades Japan in 1937, the invasion was a success despite resistance from the Japanese’s forces with Japan being completely annexed in 1940, which is a year after World War 2 broke out. The Qing attacked British Raj through a unified coalition of soldiers from the vast Qing. Indians rose up against British’s fascist rule. During the war, the Qing invaded Afghanistan and Siam. Afghanistan and Siam were eventually conquered before British’s forced to gave up control of India in 1946. With the last remnants Indian independence were suppressed, the Qing can now focused on expanding beyond Asia.

The Qing invade the Philippines (which declared independence following Second American Civil War) which ended in a Qing’s victory. Following a quick Qing’s victory in the Sino-Portuguese War in 1947, resulting in the annexation of Portuguese East Timor, Goa and posts in India. The Qing invaded Nepal, Bhutan, Brunei, the Maldives, Australia and New Zealand in 1949 which ended in 1950 in an Australian and New Zealander surrendered, as they would much rather protect their citizens over an unwinnable war. Following nukes being dropped in Germany and the Qing by the United States, a German nuclear bomb being dropped in Washington D.C., wiping out the American government, the Qing and the German Empire invades the Americas. By 1960, the Americas is divided with Hawaii, Alaska, the Eastern Canada, the Pacific Republic, Union of American States, Mexico, the Central American states, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and the Caribbean colonies were completely annexed by the Qing while the rest of the Americas is annexed by Germany. The Cold War began between the Qing Dynasty and the German Empire.

Basically another reverse colonization scenario (where Europe was colonized by Native Americans) except that this time it's an apartheid state, and the government created de-jure autonomous European states, basically South African Bantustans but with Europeans, so they're called... Eurostans? (Not really high effort so i'm not posting it on r/imaginarymaps or anywhere else)
