3 way Cold War: Capitalism vs Communism vs Facsism

An interesting scenario I once read included a Fascist France Vs. a Democratic-Republican and Constitutional Monarchist Germany. In this scenario, France forms a Fascist 'Roman' bloc with Salazar's Portugal, Franco's Spain, Mussolini's Italy, and Romania. The Anglo-Japanese Alliance continues, but on the condition that Japan leave China and the United States alone. Japan's Fascist military dictatorship is killed in its crib and Taisho Liberal Democracy continues. So the end result is a monarchical-capitalist Anglo-German-Japanese bloc (the Anglo-German royal kinship makes it all the more intriguing) Vs. the USSR Vs. the Fascist Roman bloc. How the Anglo-German Alliance and Fascist bloc respond to Soviet aggression in Eastern Europe is interesting. During the Chinese Civil War, both the Fascist bloc and monarchical-capitalists side with the KMT, while the USSR sides with the CCP.

Depending on how powerful the Soviets are then yes. They did otl for the same reason.

It's a bit different allying with liberal-democratic France and Germany with US occupying Europe than with a Fascist France and Germany. If anything, having the Fascists and Soviets fight it out amongst themselves on the continent is exactly in line with the British Balance of Power strategy which you referred to earlier.

a Soviet Union strong enough be bring together France and Germany will also bring in Britain.

Why not just let them wear each other out and take on the winner. And the Soviets are much further to the East than in OTL, being much less of a threat to the British. And in any case French fascists could be attracted to Germany for ideological reasons, too. Germany on the other hand would probably forego Alsace-Lorraine in exchange for French support in taking tons more land in the East.

If the Soviets are too powerfully Britain would be the first one to make an alliance with the Germany not France.

They would more likely be hostile to Germany as Germany has been France's enemy for the longest time and a threat.

What does France gain from this and what is to stop Germany from turning on France once the Soviets are deal with.
 
Seems like you're just making assertions without any justification in order to support your arguments (which are just the opposite of whatever I say) so I'm just gonna quit this discussion for lack of good faith.

In the last I made short justifications for the latter two statements about France. I didn't for Britain my apologies, My reasoning was due to Britain being an island it would be less threatened by a resurgent Germany.
