Margin of Error

I've always been of the mind that a Humans/Citadel cold war, with an arms race on top, would have actually been better for the galaxy, at least compared to canon.
If you balance it carefully, and keep diplomatic channel open, you might get a « Well, we're ennemies, but if something real bad happen let's put it aside for a moment and hold hands » mentality too.

Honestly, up until Shep becomes a Spectre, and even after, depending on choices, that's sort of simmering there under the surface of the games, imo.
Never a major thing, as there's an existential threat (once the Council realise it), but it's there. Humanity looked at the Dreadnought treaty and goes... "Hey look, it's the Washington Naval Treaty but in space. We know how to get around that. Someone go get 'Danger Zone' ready."

Here... well, depending on Marcus' moves, public and private, before and after Shanxi, the Citadel might be wondering if the Alliance is another Rachi/Korgan threat waiting to happen.

Well, not everyone.

Got worlds full of four-eyed bastards to exterminate for thinking the Alliance is weak.
Batarians are in for a nightmare if Mindoir happens in this reality
