What if....


September 1944:

For Stalin, Soviet lives did not matter at all. What all that mattered was the map, Soviet strength tables and geo politics. Stalin's analysis was uhmm...."finished": Inform the Finns of these additional conditions....

-Finland must accept at least token Soviet military garissons
-Approved Finnish and/or ethnic Karelian Communists must be appointed to key positions immediatly
-Finnish industrial policies must be coordinated with Soviet policies.

What happens next?
-Will the allies invade Norway to prevent another People's Republic?
-Will the Americans later sponsor a right wing government in Czech Republic, or maybe even liberate Croatia as a seperate nation?
Or maybe just accept that Finland has gone under the Soviet Sphere?
