Success of German and Hungarian revolutions or avoiding the Marshall Plan. Europe was in ruins after WWII and the US said they would only give assistance to countries that voted for right-wing parties. The CIA also infiltrated the elections of France and Italy to stop communists from winning, since they were very popular after leading the resistance in the war. At the same time, the British and US helped monarchists defeat communists in the Greek Civil War.

The GDR started allowing more travel to the west in the 1970s. You could visit if you were aged over 50 or had relatives in the west, and other people could also visit but they had to wait much longer and get an approval from the Stasi (most requests were approved). By 1988, millions of people legally visited West Germany each year and over 99.9% returned to the GDR.

You would probably have to draw clear borders and have different groups compromise on where to draw the line. Since a lot of natives were exiled to Oklahoma, some nations might be split with one section in their homeland and one where their reservations are now, and both sections could be part of the same ASSR or whatever you would call the regions.

Before colonization, they lived in stateless societies without borders and the population density was generally low so sometimes multiple nations would live in the same area. Many groups were also nomadic, especially on the Plains.

There are independence movements in France for Basque Country, Brittany, Corsica, Occitania, and northern Catalonia as well as the overseas colonies.

For the Anglos, Ireland should be reunified and Wales and Scotland should be independent. Cornwall and the Isle of Man might also be independent or joined with Wales/Scotland since they have Celtic languages.

The Basques and Catalans get all of Spain and Brittany gets to split England with Wales.
