The complete 1910 territory of the Kingdom of Prussia to 1982. Let's make it 12:01AM on January 1st 1910/1982. This presents NATO with opportunity and clear danger. a. The US VII Corps now has tripled the frontage it has to cover and USAFEUR in Germany has disappeared. b. GSFG has disappeared. The 1910 Prussian Army is in its place. Russia has lost 2/3 of its CAT I ground forces and HALF of its TACAIR c. Leonid Brezhnev is CPGS of the Soviet Union. He is insane. His own apparatchiks are trying to stop him from starting WWIII in 1982. d. North Warsaw Pact is GONE. The road to Moscow is now held by low grade and low morale CAT III Russian forces. e. Reagan is president, not Carter. f. "The Congress has passed a law declaring the Soviet Union is illegal. We begin bombing in 5 minutes." g. ABLE ARCHER goes hot.

The 1980s Britain from the "Yes Minister" universe pilot episode (so the Rt Hon. Jim Hacker (played by Paul Eddington) has just become a minister) replaces OTL Britain on 9/11/2001 at 9:50AM NYC time?

I've been depressed recently. Slow replies coming in the next few days.

Depending on how broad the technology is and how well the receivers are set up to handle and support it but you could have established the 1st world empire with its capital at Persepolis.

Probably not as its simply too massive a task to both integrate the social changes this technology brings and the sheer size and complexity of their new conquests. Actually I may have been rather optimistic as its probable the empire will fall into internal conflict before the Americas are discovered and probably also some of the outlying areas of the old world. However
On the other hand it was a very flexible and tolerant system for much of this period so assuming hubris doesn't poison that it might pull through. Or simply set up the idea, as with China of a renewable empire - however here centred on Persepolis and much larger because of the technology - so that a future civil war could see the winner aim to reunite the empire.
Plus if the initial upgrade is for the Achaemenid empire at this stage and the Greek city states those areas will have a big edge on anywhere outside until facilities are constructed and people educated outside that core area. There are plenty of smart people in places like China or India for instance but knowing that say a railway or breech loading rifle exists or even having examples of them won't make it practical to build their own in the short term.

Well that will screw over both China's but possibly especially the communists. They will have their wartime territory in the Yuan region but just about everything else is lost.
Japan gets stomped down on hard, probably with nukes being used as the quickest way to seek to secure its surrender.
Suspect the Soviets will attack into Manchuria and Korea and may seek to take all the latter.
Large areas in SE Asia and parts of the Pacific are drawn back into the chaos and brutality of Japanese occupation. The US and UK will lose people and military resources that were in the region at the time, as would the French in FIC and the Dutch in the parts of the DEI they were holding at this point.
Going to be interesting seeing India and Pakistan's reaction to the Japanese threat suddenly appearing again.
