I really like the core idea. I don't think you get a viable civil rights movement without TV though. Televised images of Bull Connor and the like were what roused the North to understand and care about segregation.

How did India's independence go, and who has it picked for friends? The occupation of Japan? And, well, I don't think the death of Mao is remotely sufficient to stop Communism in China. It may be a different and better Communism though. I'm also skeptical that devastating all of Europe by plague leads to the global triumph of liberal American values - if anything, it gives Nazis and Stalinists both an out to say their ideas were not given a full and proper test.
