long story short, i've hit a road block in a timeline i'm working on, post WW2 the US goes back in to isolationism, but i'm sitting around 1960 in my timeline and short of full scale war what could theoretically wake the US up and bring it in to the the Cold War currently being waged between the the British Commonwealth-Japanese Empire and the Soviet Union.
POD is two pronged, Japan is more cautious in China, and finds oil in Manchuria thus reducing the friction points between the US and Japan. Japan does not attack Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th 1941, US waits on the sidelines of WW2 acting as the arsenal of freedom, without providing troops. the British and their Commonwealth are the main body of the allies, with the US supplying them. ANZAC and Indian troops serve alongside Brits and Canadians liberating Europe... post war years are similar, minus east asian conflicts such as korea, etc. however, its now 1960 and i'm struggling to find a reason to bring the US out of the mindset of "see, we sat on the sidelines and they did fine for themselves." perhaps communist revolutions succeed in latin america to a greater degree than just in cuba, thus making the US sit up and take notice.
can anyone give me a heads up on mexican politics of the 1950s a 60s, is it at all plausible to bring about some kind of marxist revolution in mexico, even a failed one with US intervention since its right on the doorstep that would wake the US up and get it involved in the Cold War, not necessarily aligned with the stronger ATL British Commonwealth-Japanese Empire?
