In the days after WW1 and Germany was in shambles rose one of the World's worst dictators and a regime which would unleash an era darkness never seen in Europe at least in the recent past at that time. His name,yes you all know Adolf Hitler heading the Nazi regime.
Imagine in this timeline,an another semi fascist and semi socialist government rises to power. They are certainly not good for 21st century western standards but they don't indulge in the horrific acts like the Nazis. In this timeline,Jews,Slavs,minorities like Gypsies,etc aren't the focus. Instead reviving Germany is. They still appeal to ancient prides and civilizations. But in this case,some kind of Social engineering which isn't that bad for 20th century is implemented and the economy is rebuilt eventually creating a good position for Germany as well in Europe. They do try expanding their soft power into Baltic states,Southern Europe,Netherlands,Belgium and if possible into Switzerland and Scandinavia,etc. France,Britain,Russia,etc aren't invaded. Poland may be invaded but just some lands on the borders might be taken. Austria is made very close to Germany almost like one country but not fully politically merged.
No concentration camps,no Ensatgruppen,nobody is Untermensch and so on. The Govt is semi Socialist and collectivist and still appeals to ancient glory,etc as I said but it pursues them more gently without killing anyone except in cases of rebellion or invasion and mostly military deaths. They mostly appeal to Science and try to make rapid jumps in Scientific and technological progress. As their soft power sphere increases,they start building their own settlements and colonies in negotiation with people to whom their soft power has spread. So how does this World fare? No horrific mass murders in gas chambers,etc or mass deportations,no labelling any subjects as Untermensch/undesirables because of their religion,sexual identity or ancestry and prohibiting them into the govt is also not done. Yes,some fascist,ethnic and nationalistic values are held strong. But that does not come into the realm of unacceptable as it did in OTL. So how would you think the Whole world be different if this govt came to power instead of the Nazis and what should be the turn of events that led to its coming of power?
How would British Empire,America,East Asia,India,Russia,Middle East fare without a huge rouge regime taking power in Europe? How would UN be formed? How would modern Western values be defined? And most importantly,how would Germany and modern Europe look like?
