RULES
You must post a list of at least 5 PODs, but no more than 10.
The poster below you must conceive a way to link these PODs in the form of a coherent TL that covers from the initial PODs until present day.
This TL doesn't have to be more than a few paragraphs. The point of this game isn't to write a large, grueling affair--it's to have a bit of fun in seeing how things might have changed if x and x happened instead of x happening.
Try to keep it reasonable.
With that said and done, then, I'll post my list of PODs.
Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin switch death dates. Thus, Franklin Roosevelt does not die until March 5, 1953, while Joseph Stalin dies on April 12, 1945.

The Morgenthau Plan is adopted at the end of World War II.
The United States adopts a system of national service following World War II's end.
