Is Hitler and the Nazis in charge of Germany ITTL? Let's see if uncle Joe keeps his word on that agreement.
Germany is right leaning as reaction to left wing Socialists trying to take over the country after WWI. Not as far right as the Nazis.
Since this is a planet Earth-wank, the Nazis are not in power, so the Jews are way better off. If the Jews are loyal German citizens, then they will aid the cause.
Germans blame loosing WWI on weak allies and having to fight two fronts. They gave appeared to solve the one front at a time as they have won the western front, rolled over Yugo, now are rolling over Russia.
They are a little weary pf the Italians though as allies.
Russia is a constitutional monarchy. It is right leaning as well, not as far right as Germany. Russians wanted to regain a little more prominence, with reconquering the empire, but now they are in dire straits. Uncle Joe is not in power. Russia respects USA as USA helped them before and now when Russia needed it. Russia is a lot less xenophobic towards the West, especially towards USA.
Session 44 - 1942 in the Pacific
1942 – Pacific War
Winter and Spring – Guam and Wake hold after determined Japanese efforts to invade. Japan captures Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Burma, DEI. (See good ATL written by Kent for details; Guam https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=194419)
USA turns Guam and Wake into unbreakable fortresses. USA captures Rota Island isolates Saipan.
1942 – April, Doolittle raid, Japanese response is to try to outflank USA by capturing Midway. They are unsuccessful. Lose two carriers to US one in battle.
Rest of 1942 into 1943, Japan reinforces Iwo Jima and Okinawa as Allies (mainly US and Anzacs) race to fortify Bismarck islands and capture/fortify island bases in the Carolines. This is an all Navy, marine, and army infantry units already in the Pacific as all new army units are scheduled for Europe. The army does supply a number of fighters and bombers as new bases are set up in the central Pacific. No significant new army units are designated for Pacific. All new Army units will be going to Europe. The Pacific will be for the Marines to conquer.
The USA avoids trying to capture already established Japanese bases. A three prong strategy is developed from Guam, Wake, and Australia. A book end approach is taken, as Rabaul and the Kiniet Islands (Aus. Posessions) are fortified and turned into fighter/bomber bases from the South while Lamotrek is taken/fortified from Guam in the North. Other bases are set up on the Islands of Satawal, Houk (Pulusuk) and Mussau. This effectively connects Australia to Guam for land based fighter cover.
The army fighter of choice is the P-38 for longer ranges of the Pacific and is better against the Japanese Zero. B-24 bomber bases are also established.
Five carrier battles are waged with the Japanese in the capture/defense of these islands.
Two carrier battles are fought over Guam, each side losing two carriers, USA defends Guam
June - Battle of Midway, Japan loses two carriers for one of the USA, USA defends Midway
September – Lamotrek invasion, one carrier a piece, USA successful in capturing/defending island
March, 1943 – Satawal invasion, one carrier a piece, USA successful in capturing/defending island
The net result is that at the end of the Caroline campaign in March 1943, after Satawal is taken and reinforced, only the USS Enterprise is left. The USS Yorktown (Midway), USS Saratoga (Guam), USS Lexington (Guam), USS Hornet (Satawal), USS Wasp (Lamotrek) are all lost. All six of the Japanese carriers are lost that participated in the Pearl attack. Until the USS Essex class carriers come online it is Enterprise versus Japan in the Pacific.
The other move that the US makes in the fall of 1942 is the capture and buildup of forces on Bikini Island in the Gilberts. The Japanese fell for a US fake, a raid on Makin Island when the main objective was Bikini Island from Wake.
The net result is that Japan is strong in the east Pacific and Allies are strong in Central Pacific. Japanese main bases on Truk, the Marshals, and the Gilberts are some what now isolated and vulnerable to US land based bomber raids, B-24's with P-38's covering. Yap is also in range.

Session 45 - Europe 1942
Europe 1942 – USA invades North Africa and links up with British in Tunisia for operation Torch.
Britain is site where war planners for the major allies of Britain, USA, and Russia have a permanent base of operations to strategise, plan, and coordinate war efforts. USA and Britain are fully committed to keeping Russia in the game.
Russia 1942 – Germans stopped at Stalingrad. US units are rushed to Russia through Persia to keep Russia in the fight. Americans engage Germans in the Caucus Mtns as Russia pours troops into Stalingard. The Germans are trapped as they over run supplies and Russians attack and encircle exposed flanks.
Russian and American designers work together for joint designs of planes. British, Russian, and American scientists start top secret work on atomic bomb.
1942 – John Garner re-elected president

Session 46 - 1943 Pacific
1943 – Pacific – USA consolidates, strengthens the islands taken/defended in 1942 and Spring 43. The string of islands taken/defended are:
Guam, Wake and Midway islands - US islands defended
Rota in the Marianas
Lamotrek , Satawal, and Houk (Pulusuk) in the Carolines
Rabaul and Kiniet Islands in the Bismarck’s
Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands
Fighter/bomber bases are established on these islands. The Japanese bases in Truk, the Gilberts, and the Marshals are isolated. The USA lets them wither on the vine, not wanting to invade. Bases on Yap and Saipan are continually bombed and left virtually under siege as supplies going into these bases dwindle.
Operation Starvation - US reverts to an all-out submarine and strategic bomber war to isolate Japan, cut it off from supplies and resources. This also has the effect of stemming the flow of supplies to the Pacific islands and China. The USA steps up its submarine interdiction upon the Japanese merchant marine and uses long range, heavy bombers to all mine harbors within reach. They cannot threaten mainland Japan yet, but the harbors of resource islands are within reach. It will be another year before the powerful B-29’s come into action. Until then, submarines are the key. With this, submarine production is picked up a little. Through the Truman committee, the Mark IV torpedo is improved in the first part of 1943 to be more effective and trustworthy to submarine skippers.
New fighter planes (F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair) are introduced and new carriers, Essex class come online in the fall and winter of 1943. P-38 squadrons are still used for bomber escort and long range fighters for the Army Air Force, Marines fighter squadrons and Navy fighter squadrons revert to the F4U Corsair and the F6F Hellcat, better planes against the Zero.
The Japanese strategy is to rebuild their naval aviation arm and strengthen where needed in 1943. The Japanese Imperial Army goes for an all-out attempt to remove China from the war. China survives, it is still holding on, but barley as the supply chain is broken with the loss of the Burma Road. Japan still rules the waves in the waters from China to Yap, from Japan to Sumatra. The northern Australian coast is raided some as Allied planes place a focus on strengthening the Central Pacific. There are just not enough planes to go around.

Session - 47, 1943 in Europe
1943 – Europe, Allies capture Sicily and invade Italy. With American forces on the eastern front, it is decided to use the Mediterranean as main focus for troops. Use cross channel invasion from Britain as a feint. Troops remain in the Med theatre, and more troops are fed into Italy instead of being based in England for a cross channel invasion of northern France. Americans capture most of Italy, run out of steam at the Po River in northern Italy. Americans also land in Sardinia, Corsica and the British capture the Greek Aegean islands off of Turkish coast.
Germany builds a strong defensive line on the Po in Italy. Italy is knocked out when Rome is captured, a rump state held up by the Germans remains in the North.
Allies step up the strategic bomber campaign. Start to target entire cities bomb out completely.
U-boat scare in the Atlantic finally is reduced starting in second half of 1943.
1943 – Russia, slow push begins to take back mother Russia. As more Russian material and experienced troops come online, American troops in the few divisions in the Caucus Mtns are available for Mediterranean operations. They are given a hero’s thank you from Russian citizens as they exit Russia for the Med. After the war, Russia will construct monuments to commemorate the American involvement in both WWI and WWII in the defense of mother Russia. The Germans build strong defensive lines in central and southern Russia. It is a blood bath, slow steady advance for the Russians. The Germans are also anchored in the North when St. Petersburg finally succumbs after being in a siege for two years. Stalingrad was a turning point for Russia to go from strictly defensive to offensive in nature on the Eastern front for Russia, but it is a slow and bloody march to kick the Germans out.

Session 48 - First half of '44 in Europe
Summary
1944 – Europe – British land in Greece and Yugoslavia, Americans break out in northern Italy, land in southern France and then in cross the British channel in the summer.
Venice and Trieste are major ports captured that American troops based in the Med pour into (These are the army divisions that OTL served in the Pacific). The target for these American armies are to drive north to Viena, Munich, Budapest, Bratislava, and Prague.
Agreements between the Allies and Turkey are for Turkey to enter the war when mainland Greece is invaded by the British. Another guarantee from Russia is to support both an independent Georgia and Armenia from Russia as a buffer between Turkey and Russia. Turkey enters war, knocks out Bulgaria, and advances on west bank of Danube.
The Italian front meets up with Southern France, drive to Paris. Meets up with cross channel forces and drive to the Rhine. Spain enters war on Allies side as USA drives from southern to northern France.
Russians concentrate in the South, drive west, meet up with Turks on Danube. Germans still strong in center and North.

Session 50 - Pacific, 1944
1944 – Pacific
USA has six full marine divisions plus some army resources in Pacific Theatre. Marines are used to capture islands, Army units to hold bases. First and second, fifth and sixth are based in Guam while third and fourth are based in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Jan – First and Second US Marine divs easily takes Saipan after it has been isolated for two years.
Jan through Mar – USA forces IJN to retreat from open sea as USA combined fleets overwhelm Japan in the Marianas, Okinawa, and off of Philippines. Essex carriers and trained flight crews overwhelm IJN carrier aviation around Philippines and Marianas. After March, US Navy owns Pacific.
Apr – Third and Fourth US marine divs and Australian forces land on Mindanao
May – First and Second US marine divs take Iwo Jima in a much harder fight than Saipan.
With new B-29’s, the strategic bombing initiative, and more importantly the mining of mainland Japan starts in earnest in the spring of 1944. Submarines continue their relentless attack of Japanese merchant shipping. The result is that Japan is severely losing the supply war. P-51 Mustangs replace P-38’s for fighter escorts, fighter sweeps.
Aug – Fifth ans Sixth US marine divs land on Okinawa
Oct – First and Second US marine divs lands on Taiwan
Dec – Third and Fourth US marine divs land on Leyte

Session 51: 1945 - Pacific
Feb and March - US Navy raids Japan Home Islands ports
and harbors
1945 – Apr, Russia declares war on Japan. US and Russian forces capture Manchuria and Korea. Fresher allied troops were transported via rail to Russian Far East. All six marine Divs land in Korea. The two main landing points are around Puson (3 divs) and Inchon near Seoul (3 divs). American Army divs roll down from the North of the Korean Penin while Russian troops storm Manchuria.
May-June, B-17/B-24 Bomber bases are set up in Korea. Fresher American and British bomber units from European theater arrive in Korea. The fresher US units from the 8th and 9th air forces are combined into one air force. These European bombers along with the B-29’s from the Marianas ensure that no Japanese city with a population over 50k is left un-bombed. P-51 fighter sweeps from Korea and Iwo Jima add further damage as the allies rule the sky.
June - Allied forces drive to Beijing.
1945 - July – Japan surrenders to allies in July after cities are firebombed and Japan is totally decimated and starving. No city is left untouched.
No atomic bomb is used against Japan. Tests in the American desert in July were successful and two bombs were in transit to Tinian but not ultimately used against Japan, the war ended before use. They were to be used in August with the invasion of Japan to be in September.
All three contributing nations, Britain, Russia, and USA agree that nuclear technology will not be used in weapons, will be used for energy purposes. All three maintain alliance after the war with the other minor allies. London is the site of the joint allied command for mutual defense.

May-June, B-17/B-24 Bomber bases are set up in Korea. Fresher American and British bomber units from European theater arrive in Korea. The fresher US units from the 8th and 9th air forces are combined into one air force. These European bombers along with the B-29’s from the Marianas ensure that no Japanese city with a population over 50k is left un-bombed. P-51 fighter sweeps from Korea and Iwo Jima add further damage as the allies rule the sky.
June - Allied forces drive to Beijing.
1945 - July – Japan surrenders to allies in July after cities are firebombed and Japan is totally decimated and starving. No city is left untouched.
No atomic bomb is used against Japan. Tests in the American desert in July were successful and two bombs were in transit to Tinian but not ultimately used against Japan, the war ended before use. They were to be used in August with the invasion of Japan to be in September.
All three contributing nations, Britain, Russia, and USA agree that nuclear technology will not be used in weapons, will be used for energy purposes. All three maintain alliance after the war with the other minor allies. London is the site of the joint allied command for mutual defense.

Fidel Castro as POTUS, wow I didn't see that coming... Only a one termer huh... so what was the great liberator's presidency like?
Only a one termer huh... so what was the great liberator's presidency like?A PoD in 1775 and Bob Dole, Jean Chretien and Gerald Ford even EXIST, let alone are president? WTF? Butterfly genocide?

ITTL as well as OTL, the entire nation was anti-government, anti-establishment needing a breath of fresh air after Watergate. Fidel was that for the Democrats. OTL, My home state which is normally very conservative elected a very liberal Democrat senator after Watergate and Ford's pardon. He did not even run six years later because he knew he could not win.
Also, with a large portion of the population being Hispanic, would have to have a Hispanic POTUS sooner or later.
This Fidel would probably not have a scraggly beard or wear the same army fatigues every day though. He would have a cigar though.

You are correct, who knows ho the POTUS would be in the 1980's and 1990's.
Somewhere in this timeline, a French Canadian would probably be POTUS.
I was thinking where a politician from Ontario would be POTUS, could not name one. If the TL would go on, Rob Ford POTUS would be awesome to be elected in 2014.
One question that I do have for a butterfly is since secession from the Union was never even threatened by Calhoun against the Tariffs or in 1860 against the Republicans, would Canada (OTL Quebec) try to secede after WWII? I do not think that they would, but who knows.
