First off it should be noted that the United States probably was the only superpower for a few years following the Second World War as the Soviet Union was bled dry, however they ascended quite quickly following the war. So my question is what POD could result in the Soviet Union being weakened sufficiently that recovery is far from the extent of OTL? Additionally what would such a unipolar world look like throughout the rest of the 20th Century?
