Challenge: Latest POD for A world Government by 2017

Zhukov becomes Soviet leader in the 50s. USA and USSR become "World Policeman" and push the former European empires to decolonization. They bring these under influence and eventually turn their sights on Mao's China. By the modern day America, Russia, and China are the World Policeman, and at the head of a more powerful UN lead much of the world.
 
You know, IIRC, the Metal Slug games had the "Government" that's implied to be a world spanning one of sorts; how it came to be and how does it function we never know but I like to think it might have something to do with a WWIII breaking out sometime before it's creation, which then replaced the UN.
 
A larger more devastating WWII that results in a stronger UN with its own millitary force which then becomes the basis of this government.

So something like the Anglo/American-Nazi war with
a lot of chaos afterwards, unstable states and nuclear weapons being proliferated. The US can't help the world all by itself resulting in the Uber UN.
 
Soviet government collapses in 1941. A decade later as the last facist holdouts are mopped up the US/Brit coalition has by default become a world government.
