DBAHC the USA wins World War 2

... not much

If you mean the US having an advantage in the Cold War and winning out the most due to a different outcome of ww2? A much more successful D-day might have worked, as it’s failure allowed for further Soviet advance into Germany, the Low Countries and Italy to the point where Germany is united under the communists, the Low Countries are all red and Italy is divided between both and south

... not much

OOC: This is a dbwi
 
Something that cannot be emphasized enough is the war weariness that the American people had after the Second American Civil War from 1935-37. The US was no “sleeping giant,” as it might have been without it and to some degree was in WWI. No, it was a bloodied and demoralized nation with a lot of hostile Latin American nations that also required focus and energy.

The country was willing to go to war to stop Germany and Japan after the Month of Provocation, but only for limited goals such as open sea lanes and the Pacific possessions. (The Philippines gained independence in 1936 here, and swiftly moved into the Japanese orbit).
 
Maybe if the United States had a multilateralist position significant elements of its culture could have been enshrined as universal or at least universalising principles inside the kind of rights discourse that grounds US ideological framing. The frankly insane mono lateral demands being made solely on the US’s behalf alienated the ROC, Soviet, Commonwealth and French negotiators from the major combatants and drove minor combatants and defeated fascists into the hands of the “four malign powers of the old war.”

Some may say that the Soviet and British Germanies are impoverished, but I doubt this would have been the case had the policy papers advocating a United Nations become policy.


Ooc: won?
 
1. Have better presidents. Garner and Bricker were just awful. Their reforms did more harm than good and they completely failed to mobilise the US industry and military.
2. Start helping the British and Soviets even before the Pearl Harbour attack. Maybe this way these two dont collapse in 1944, the Germans dont capture most of the Royal Navy and the US wont be invaded in 1945.

It is a very far stretch but these two changes just might get the "Allies" or at least the US a stalemate or negotiated peace.

Very true. Hence the ‘Peace with Honour’ with Japan that recognised Japanese gains in Asia but saw Guam etc. returned to American control.

Though the Pacific War ended up forgotten when the US and Japan began intelligence cooperation against the Soviets.
