Most of Prominent Leaderships during 1935 died in Freak Accidents, what next?

Okay, this may be close to ASB, but not really ASB, you know...

Throughout the year of 1935, some of world's leaderships died in a series of freak accidents, either by terrorist/conspiracist/anarchist attacks, plane crashes, natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, or maybe even small and localized asteroid impacts), or whatever, I don't care.

The killed people are as follows:

-Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Goering, and most of other prominent members of German Nazi party
-Stalin, Molotov, Beria, Khrushchev, and most of other prominent members of Soviet Communist party
-Mussolini and most of other prominent members of Italian Fascist party
-Tojo and most of other prominent Japanese military leaderships and generals
-Churchill and most of other prominent members of British Conservative party
-Chiang and most of other prominent members of Kuomintang
-Mao and most of other prominent members of Chinese Communist party
-Franco and most of other prominent members of Spanish Nationalist faction
-Nehru, Jinnah, and most of other prominent members of Indian National Congress and Muslim League
-Roosevelt, Truman, and most of other prominent members of US Democratic party


So, what will happen next?
Will other figures simply replace them all, and then doing somewhat parallel actions with OTL?
Or will we see an entirely different world?

Yes... a world dominated by France, the only major power not to be affected by that "perfect storm" of dead leaders.

Rule Le Front Populaire and Leon Blum !!!

In 1935 Truman was not that prominent. The VP was John Nance Gardner. Truman only became VP in Roosevelt's fourth term.

And of course Churchill was not prominent in 1935, he had been out of government for years. Honestly I think you need to be a bit more specific about who has been killed off to make a guess at an ATL.

I was planning to include Petain and De Gaulle, but in 1935...who really cares about them?

I'll happily do that...only if someone can give me the detailed lists of who were the members of German Nazi, Soviet Communist, Italian Fascist, British Conservative, US Democratic, etc, parties in 1935.

Anyway, if this can really get rid of the "some of them weren't prominent yet" complains, just erase the words "prominent" in the OP.
