In a timeline in which II world war had never occurred (Hitler is shot in WW-I,Weimar Republic passes the point of crisis and survives,Stalin is busy to kill his comrades,Mussolini is satisfied with his little empire,Japan alone not challenge the western powers) which would the more likely and
highest-rated candidates to United States Presidency in 1940-1960 period?
Maybe Truman would not have been vice President and then President,and
Eisenhower without the war would be a unknown retired General,but without their veteran past Nixon and Johnson would be elected?
What about peoples as Thomas Dewey,Averell Harriman,Joseph Kennedy Jr,Henry Cabot Lodge?
