I'd add significantly more euro populations to the rhodesias, south africa, kenya, Tunisia, Angola(if only because of intermarriage), mozambique(intermarriage), portuguese guinea(see Angola+Mozambique), Beuchanaland

A more likely POD could be FDR dying of polio then Long getting the nomination.

If long is able to get in instead of FDR expect a farther reaching new deal and a more militarized US.

why not put this in a TL or use it as a POD?

Well with more of an eastern focus forget about Turkey wanting to get into the EU.

I'd imagine that Canada is more regionalized than in OTL.

Somehow avoid the rise of islam and I'd imagine the entire medditeranean basin would be considered part of "europe"
