Wasteland Europe depicts what Europe would look like if the United States had not initiated the Marshall Plan for European Recovery. In OTL, former Secretary of State George Marshall created the European Recovery Plan, also known as the Marshall Plan. This plan would be used to turn Europe into an industrialized and rebuilt continent. However, what if America had other problems? What would happen? Instead, most of Europe, with a few exceptions, turns into a third-world slum where crime, depopulation, and poverty reign supreme. The creator,

  • Wasteland Europe depicts what Europe would look like if the United States had not initiated the Marshall Plan for European Recovery. In OTL, former Secretary of State George Marshall created the European Recovery Plan, also known as the Marshall Plan. This plan would be used to turn Europe into an industrialized and rebuilt continent. However, what if America had other problems? What would happen? Instead, most of Europe, with a few exceptions, turns into a third-world slum where crime, depopulation, and poverty reign supreme. The United States, without the burden of reconstructing Western Europe, prospers to higher levels in domestic trade. While not completely abandoning ties with Europe, the nation turns its interests inward. One of its prime objectives becomes establishing and securing its Pacific territories. Beginning with the occupation and rebuilding of Japan, the US extends its western border across the Pacific from Alaska to the Philippines (which with other south Pacific territories becomes the 49th state). Hawaii and Alaska are added as the 50th and 51st states soon after the Pacific Ocean Treaty Organization (POTO) assures that Communism remains in Europe and the USSR. The Soviet Union, after collapsing twice due to corruption and over-expansion, reorganizes and becomes the strongest nation in the "Old World". Keeping a tight grip over its satellite states, while slowly adding them to its empire, its proximity to the last stronghold of Western Democracy remains a problem for Ireland and Portugal, two of the last stable nations in West Europe. The rest of Europe slowly recovers, but is quite literally "burnt to the ground" some years after World War II, after multiple wars and secession attempts. This is an open timeline, feel free to expand the articles and create your own nations. Just remember to play nice and have fun! The creator,
