European Jews without the Nazis

Well WWII wouldn't of happened (obviously), but that means that there woul

This depends. I would argue Locarno and other agreements in the late 20s could have laid the groundwork for the EU. Obviously in OTL they didn't, but...

as the Commonwealth only really broke down and stopped internal trade once Britain joined the EEA and practically stopped the flow of goods coming from the Commonwealth into the UK (which screwed up alot of economies ie New Zealand, of which about 70% of its exports went to Britain beforehand). This would also mean that there would still be the freedom of movement within the Commonwealth, and member countries would probably be richer thanks to internal trade.

Hrmm. Let's think about this. The EEA merely made it more favorable to trade with Europe, no? So this suggests that Britain benefitted from trading with Europe instead of just the Commonwealth. Maybe the Commonwealth is richer, but Britain, IMO, is not.
 
No WWII, and German/Yiddish would be the trade language of Central Europe, the Soviet Union would have twice as many people (most of the increase would be Ukranian and Belorussian and Russian).

Nitpick: the USSR only lost about 12% of it's population to the Nazis, and in any event the Soviet Union before WWII did not include territories that OTL contain over 20 million people. (Admittedly, the Soviets might pick up some Polish territory without sparking a wider war - and if there's a major USSR vs Europe war, anything goes.)

Indeed.
Quite a bit of buisness was made actually from being in both organisations- commonwealth nations were effectively in the EEA as they could export to Britain with favourable conditions and then onto the other members.


And zionism long predates WW2, Israel would have happened one way or the other though perhaps it wouldn't be the rather militaristic, badly regarded land it is today.
