A rather scathing comment made by American President Norman Thomas in regards to Prime Minister Winston Churchill's disegard over the people of the Indian subcontininent dealing with famine, especially in light of the growing rebellions against British imperialism. This was considered yet another complicated internaction between the American and British governments, due to the election of President Thomas and Vice President William Edward Burghardt Du Bois as the first socialist government within the United States of America. Many have noted this was led to the Euro-American split that occurred over after World War II and into the Cold War. With the end of World War II and decolonization, there were growing cracks, and one instance was seen over with Anglo-American relatons. While matters improved under Prime Minister Clement Atlee, the subsequent Tory regimes would see the split go through.
One side effect would be the disruption of the fate of India. While there were rumored plans to split the nation between Muslim and Hindu majoities, American invovlement and negotiations would see these plans fail in place of a unified Commonwealth of Bharat. The Euro-American split led to the various First, Second, Third and Fourth World scenarios. The First World consisted of the Americans and their close allies, which included Bharat, the Second World included most of Europe along with most of the Mddle East (except for Iran, which is aligned with the Americans), the Third World consisted of the Soviet Union and their allies such as Zaire, along with Communist China and the Fourth World consisted of non-aligned countries, especially those that wanted to flex their might like Brazil. This system lasted under the fall of the Soviet Union and the growing interconnectivity of the world. Additionally, some countries were considered part of two worlds, such as Canada and Ireland.
"One of America's earliest and closest allies would be none other than the Sikh Empire, both of whom would cooperate to aid the other, especially in dealing with the British."
