Simple question, likely leading to complicated answers.

After the war, Japan's far right government was removed, the gap filled by left-leaners. In Germany, the plan was for the destruction of heavy industries and the reduction of the country to a second-rate state.

But the spectre of communism was just too scary. The far right was re-emplaced in Japan, and Germany was built up again.

But what if...

Say something happens in 1945 or 46 that makes the Soviet Union less scary. Stalin dies or something.

Whither Germany and Japan?
