As this history develops, open revolt among the satellite nations and within the Soviet Union splits the country into republics, but not before an ICBM destroys Birmingham, England, and a counter-strike obliterates Minsk. The realignment after the war leaves Moscow's former do main Balkanized and at peace, but Africa remains tumultuous.
