Easy, have him die in WW1A) get rid of Hitler
Have Germany become communist….if I remember correctly, there were many commie groups running around during the hard times….B) Somehow convince Stalin to cooperate with Germany, something he never intended to do. USSR has nothing to gain from this alliance.
If the soviets expand into Manchuria…the Japanese WILL fightC) I can see Italy, er... going insane because German cooperate with USSR and declaring war against Germany, but Japan? Most likely they remain neutral.
Easy, have them funding communist groups in America, maybe a sub attack on a British flagged American shipD) Why would US get involved in this war? Unless said alliance of Germany and USSR somehow provokes them which I do not see happening
I can….heheheI am unable to device any POD resulting in this outcome. Seems ASB to me.
If Germany is under the control of a commie party that takes orders from stalin…..well, that could get interesting….I thought you wanted Nazi Germany + Soviet Union fight the world. Serves me right for seeing words that are not there. Well, still, are strong Germany and strong Soviet Union mutually compatible is the real question.
Or worse: Nominally under Stalin's control, but still going its own way reguarding technology development. That might annoy him, but if the Germans kept comming up with such interesting toys he might tollerate it.If Germany is under the control of a commie party that takes orders from stalin….
Germany would have to go Communist. The result of this would be Poland getting carved up by the Soviets and German Communists, so Germany's borders are restored to pre-Versailles conditions in the East.
Mussolini's fascists actively support the Fatherland Front in Austria as a buffer against Communist Germany and Russia. What was once the Austro-Hungarian Empire falls into the Italian sphere of influence, along with Yugoslavia. France and Britain, fearful of Communist expansionism, support the Italian effort to contain it in the Balkans before it can reach the Mediterranean. France and the Low Countries are ruled by militaristic governments ideologically similar to Mussolini's.
Fear of the Communists keeps a good relationship between Britain and France and Japan. They are more fearful the Soviets from sweeping across all of China into the European empires of southern Asia than they are of Japan carving up Northern China for itself. Socialist thought influences Arab independence movements in the Middle East, further strengthening British fears of the Soviets. The United States, though sinking into isolationism, supports the Europeans and Japanese in the interest of keeping the markets of China open.
World War II breaks out over Austria or another "Damn fool thing in the Balkans." Italian troops pour into Austria to maintain that nation's independence from the German-Soviet Alliance. France and Britain invade northern Germany in support of this initiative. The Soviet Union sends troops in in support. Japan goes to war against the Soviet Union alongside British and French forces in China, having not invaded China any further than Manchukuo. The United States enters the war after one too many American freighters in the Atlantic or Pacific are sunk by Soviet or German submarines.
but a "pearl harbor" style attack would be impossible.....and Stalin probably isn't that stupid enough to provoke the giant....let it sleep until it is too lateVery good timeline, Polish Eagle! I have just two comments:
- The war might still break out over Poland, if the western powers guarantee it's independence like in OTL.
- If Roosevelt is still president of the US he will try as much as possible to keep the US out of the anti-communist alliance. In fact I think at first he is probably going to trade with the communists too, so it's the other side who will have to be carefull not to sink any US freighters. But if the communists win some victories and start to become more and more dangerous, the situation might change.
