Pax Americana

Pax Americana is an alternative history project which will span from 2020 until 2036. It focuses on the collapse of the global world order as an international fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Story
The COVID-19 Pandemic has had several effects on the politics and foreign policy of nations around the world. In Pax Americana, the continuation of the pandemic causes a rise in reactionary politics around the world and several once thought to be unthinkable events to occur such as major nations fracturing, wars between developed nations, and the collapse of international alliances and institutions.

Firstly, a closer 2020 election compared to OTL results in a more unstable political climate once Joe Biden is elected. During his first term, Joe Biden falls ill and is unable to continue his duties as President. Meanwhile, Russia successfully invades Ukraine and establishes a puppet government. This action sparks a New Cold War with Russia, drawing China closer to the rogue nation.
