Again drawing on hypotheticals I recall while writing my uni thesis on the UN and humanitarian intervention: during the deliberations on the UN towards the end of WWII, there was initially some disagreement re where to situate the HQ of this new international organisation. Establishing the UN on US soil was IIRC unquestioned by most delegates, given that America was the 1 major power whose home soil was totally unscathed by the effects of war, and which had undamaged major economic resources, etc, but initially the exact site was argued over NY and San Francisco. IIRC, the Soviets wanted NY in order to frustrate the Chinese, since the latter would've been more advantaged having Frisco as a much closer location to their own geographical proximity and influence. However, WI there'd been other factors involved and say Frisco was actually decided as the site of UN HQ instead of OTL NY ? How would the course of international relations since 1945 have been affected by such a POD ?
