During the revolutions back in 1991, the National Socialists were overthrown and the Greater German Reich collapsed, and the nations of Eastern Europe which had been enslaved and exloited for so many decades became suddenly independent. A lot of people blame this on the fact that Germany was losing the arms race with the US, and that they were unable to develop a functioning, stable economy.
However, despite the initial enthusiasm and hope, the 1990s were a bitter decade: Eastern Europe saw a series of bloody conflicts, in particular on the Balkans. Germany itself was now run by a nominally democratic but de facto corrupt government that cared more about filling it's own pockets than caring for it's people. Germany faced declining birth rates (as a result of the end of the collapse of the Nazi's ludicrous welfare programs), mass unemployment and mess emigration, widespread poverty, and the rapid spread of HIV. The situation has become better in the 2000s, and Germany has been seeing an economic upturn, but the situation for the average man on the street is barely changed, and many people are worried about a slip back into authoritarianism...
So, I wonder, would it have been possible for the NS government to avoid this collapse? What would the world of 2008 look like with the Greater German Reich and the USA still being locked in a Cold War? What about relations with the Republic of China?
