There have been many of these, this is just my thoughts for one. WW1 ends just as it did in our timeline. This world war puts a Soviet Union lead by Leon Trotsky, a Communist China lead by Mao, and a Socialist Italy lead by Mussolini against Britain, a Fascist France, the Weimar Republic, and eventually, the United Statesl.

I don't know all of the details of how it is to end up here, but here is my point of Divergence. In late 1918, after the surrender of Germany in the Great War, Adolf Hitler commits suicide while in the hospital being treated from a gas attack. So this butterflies away Hitler.

I want France to go Fascist sometime between 1928 and 1933. In 1924, after the death of Lenin, I want Leon Trotsky to become leader of the soviet union. With Trotsky's idea of spreading the revolution around the world, he would support the Chinese communists lead by Mao against the Nationalists.
For this I was wondering, would Trotsky give direct aid to the Chinese communists through weapons, munitions and soviet troops, or would he simply give arms and mabey some military advisors?I want the Chinese Communists to win the civil war by 1936, so they are just in time to deal with the Japanese.

For Italy, I want the Italian fascists to focus more on the Socialism aspect of National Socialism.

So this creates an "Axis" of Marxism.

I would suspect that a Trotskyist Soviet Union to be alot more active in foreign affairs then the Stalinist one of OTL. So the USSR would send aid to communist movements all around the world. This might lead to a conflict with the west, there by causing a ww2.

I don't know how to make this all occur yet, so any help would be appreciated.
