But then you have the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo....

It's pretty much handing them an easy victory, which could only postpone peace...

France will likely liberate itself by the time the Russians reach Berlin. Interestingly Petain could betray the Germans once they are weak enough, with allied help (weapons essentially - probably even the Free French forces). That Petain was a closet résistant waiting for the right opportunity...

The thing is that they saw it coming. The DGSI announced that they knew attacks like these could happen, and it was granted traditional means after Charlie Hebdo. In every of the last attacks the terrorists where known to intelligence services for islamist tendencies. What was missing was the...

They change their mind once they realize they don't have chemical and bacteriological weapons anymore. What is possible is deployment of ground troops (Légion Etrangère, probably not the regular army) vs ISIS.

A nazi germany that conquered all European russia, probably not. The German officials in the east will need the support of the top, who in turn need them against other party rivals. But for a nazi germany that controls continental Europe but has been stalemated in Russia (thinking of a...

Spain had been wrecked by civil war, in which Portugal supported Franco.

What about businessman Hitler? Is there any way he can become a Henry Ford?

Also a large number of SA were formerly in Stahlhelm and other right-nationalist militias and might side with the army

Might happen if Russians get to conquer Northern Italy before WAllies

A lot like Pinochet's Chile i guess. Probably the only kind of fascism that is economically sustainable on the long term.

The best bet for a fascistic France is on the late stages of the Algerian War. 1961 and the Generals' putsch is probably too late, 1958 is your best bet. Have De Gaulle be shot by an Algerian Nationalist in his "Vive l'Algérie Française" speech in Mostaganem, prompting the Generals to take power...

There's so many possibilities... Here's one: -Hitler retires from politics in 47-49 due to his increasingly incapacitating Parkinson. Goering succeeds him. He was heir apparent: military figure (head of Luftwaffe, Reichsmarshall), strong ties to the economic milieu, globally unifying figure...

Cold war is the most probable scenario in this situation. With Soviet defeat the British wouldn't consider attempting round 2 until they have a large number of nukes, and at that point Germany would have some too. The US probably wouldn't even provide lend lease to the Soviet Union with Britain...

This is improbable because if the Nazis aren't killing the jews, they're using them as slave labor. It makes more sense to have them in concentration camps in Europe, where the workforce can be used in the industry and projects rather than in Africa where they would use the locals. I can only...

Ok point taken, my reasoning was that if they weren't exterminating jews they weren't exterminating anyone (yet), so if they loose the war they wouldn't be the cliché of genociders. In the nazi victory scenario however they would obviously be. But IOTL they were trying to destroy all evidence...

My guess: Hitler's dad, who doesn't want his son to be a painter, sends him to a military school. There, Hitler realizes he is born to lead. He completes secondary education, and starts training to be a junior officer. But, because he is pan-german/anti-establishment, he gets expelled for bad...

It's difficult to have them abandon antisemitism because jews are really the best scapegoat around (some have great political and economic power, others are communist cadres, they are somewhat strangers but well integrated in society unlike gypsies). However it's entirely possible to avoid the...

They simply wouldn't care beyond a certain point. IIRC unless at least one of your great-grandparents (or great-great grandparents, can't remember) was jewish or non-white you were considered aryan.

The colonial administration and the army is likely to surrender to Vichy after the peace. They don't want to loose their place, and it's unlikely the British are going to support an independant state in Africa ruled by non-whites and right next to their colonies in the 40s. They will likely get...
