I tried to discuss this in the fandom thread in regard to the alternate world of an anime film which takes place in an Alternate History European Nation (likely Germany/France) where both world wars never happened. I was fascinated by the concept of a world like that. Because World War I and II are so completely engrained into the cultures of Europe and America as one of our modern day foundational myths as a society that it's pretty much impossible to think of a 1950's-60''s where either of them never happened.

So without any ASB elements involved at all. What exactly would have had to change in order to keep both World War I and World war II from ever happening? What individual events throughout the eras leading up to the 1900s would have had to change? What would be the best point/date of divergence? Is keeping World War I and II from happening purely in the realm of ASB?

What are your thoughts on what the culture of this alternate worlds Europe and USA would look like?

How would this world have changed? What would culture in the Europe and USA of this alternate world be like? How would cultural attitudes changed? Would the sexual revolution or civil rights movement had happened in any way similarly to OTL?
