As we all know, nutjob Giuseppe Zangara killed FDR on February 15th 1933 and we got stuck with President John N. Garner for lack of better options until John W. Bricker became prez after winning the 1940 presidential election.
FDR was said to be much more in favour of a strong foreign policy than either Garner or Bricker. Would he have done anything serious to support Britain and, I dare say, Stalin's Soviet Union against Nazi agression? Would Roosevelt have listened more to the pro-China lobby?
If so, how would the world look today? Nazi defeat, Japan defeated sooner by China and no three way cold war? The many millions that suffered under the terrible atrocities of Imperial Japan and the Third Reich would have lived and neither Asia nor Europe would have suffered under stagnant, corrupt and inefficient economic systems...
