Miscellaneous, Non-Frivolous ASB Ideas

  Much of the world, especially the west, breathes a deep, deep sigh of relief and N Korea won't be attacking the south, or if it already has its probably going to be hammered more than OTL.  There will be problems with Soviet forces outside the borders but their now isolated and cut off from supplies and can't expect any help from the 1910 empire - both because it will be diametrically opposed to them and because it wouldn't have the capacity if it wanted to.  Germany gets reunited but the situation with Poland will cause some questions, as your got about halve of 1950 Poland - most of which is former German territory but its historical heartland - including Warsaw and Krakow are now part of 1910 imperial Russia.  Expect a conflict there, although how it ends up I wouldn't know.  Plus you would have the Kaliningrad enclave and areas such as S Sakhalin and the Kurils as remnants of Soviet territory.

  Otherwise much as your earlier scenario in terms of the world has to adjust to the dramatic change in the Russian empire.  One advantage for the west would be its not currently so dependent on Russia oil and gas so there wouldn't be the same economic shock.  Still issues with what to do about an autocratic state centred on Russia including issues of disease and the like.  However because there's only 40 years separation the technological and social gulf is less and since its replaced the far, far more threatening Soviet empire the west is going to be a lot more relaxed about the issue.

  Since you included the empire its going to also include the Pale so there are a lot of Jews suffering persecution here which is likely to cause more tension in the ME as many possibly take the opportunity to escape to Israel.  Since the latter is absorbing large numbers of Jews being expelled from Muslim lands its going to come under a lot of pressure while at least some Arab states might seek to attack before Israel integrates this new supply of manpower and hence becomes potentially more threatening militarily.  There are also a lot more Poles still in what's now Belarus and also Ukrainians generally without Stalin's forced collectivisation and mass murder the accompanied it.

  How 1910 Russia reacts to the new world it finds itself in and the challenges, including a super power USA and considerably different social changes I don't know.  Likely to be some difficult times ahead.

  One possible wild card here would be if Mao invaded Russia to 'restore' communism'.  He would be mad to try but given his egomania and how threatened he might feel with the primary communist power suddenly disappearing plus the weakness of the 'new' Russia he now faces he might try it.

  If there is no new war in E Asia, either Korean or Chinese based it would be good for Britain.  After a very hard 5 years of seeking to rebuild while paying off foreign debts the country was just about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when the Korean war and resultant military costs put new strains on the economy.  Avoiding that and ideally also seeing a build-down in Europe with NATO reducing forces as the threat has gone you could see a better upswing in the British economy compared to OTL. 

  One issue here is how people feel about a reunited Germany in 1950, especially with a very weak Russia to its east and Poland with very compromised borders.  There would still be great fear of a new wave of German revanchism especially considering many Germans might seek to reverse the 1945 changes to the eastern border.

  Anyway the initial ideas that come to mind.

  Its going to be a fair chunk and there are probably others in western Poland and Czechoslovakia as well as Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, plus likely units at sea.  Along with satellite forces in those countries.  However their now in a very vulnerable position with no support and a less than friendly population in many cases.  Its going to be an awkward question what happens to them as they won't be welcome back in 1910 Russia and I doubt they would all fit into Kaliningrad which is the only substantial part of 1950 USSR left I think.  [S Sakhalin island is larger but barren and sub arctic so that isn't really an alternative option for them.  It might be that some of the local communist party establishments seek to keep them on to help the rulers stay in power but how long that could last even assuming that the west does nothing would be a question.

  Serious possibly fatal problems with pollution incoming.

  Also if those products are available worldwide in infinite amounts then some areas such as the ME are going to see their domination of key production, such as oil and gas being drastically undercut.
