I was reading "WI; Germany postpones Operation Barbarossa", and it got me thinking WI Germany what if he decide to wait a year, but before that he end up in war with USA, and drop Operation Barbarossa. USSR made a fortune on selling material to Germany, and could through pure oppetunism decide not to invade. WWII turn into a desert war in North Africa before in 1945 after the defeat of Japan, the Allies and the Axis negotiate a Peace. UK keeps it's colonies, Vichy France get French North and West Africa, while the rest of Frances (and Belgiums) African colonies, Indochina, Syria and Indonesia becomes independent, while Free France keep the rest of Frances colonies. the Allies (including South America). The world is turned into camps a USA-Commowealth camp and a Germany-USSR camp. The relationship between Germany and USSR becomes in many way like a motherland-colony relationship, USSR send raw material to Germany while Germany send processed product* back. We now have a two way Cold War between a democratic bloc and a autoritarian bloc, instead of between a Capitalistic and Communist bloc**. The autoritarian bloc is lot more stable than the East bloc was in OTL at least economical, Germany will only get more stable in its sphere***, while USSR will not suffer the economical collaps with access to capitalistic marked and German investments. So we could see this bloc continue until a popular revolution stops it, or the conflict fizzles out like the Cold did for China, when they turn more reform friendly.
*Much like the trade relationship Between USSR and East Europe.
**Even through the result was in many way the same.
***and need to use fewer and fewer occupation troops.
