As we all know, the late 1930s to the early 1940s were defined by a series of wars which some have called the "Second Weltkrieg" and ended with a three way division of the world into the left-leaning but fairly democratic "Eurasian Alliance" of the Russian Empire, the Japanese Empire, the Republic of China, Korea, Indochina, Imperial/East Germany (the Russians created a puppet German Empire in the areas of Germany they controlled), Mongolia, and Poland as founding members with Austria joining in the 1960s and the US along with the Cairo Pact leaning towards the Eurasian Alliance, the Third International of France, Britain, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Centroamerica, Syndicalist/West Germany and Turkey (the Ottomans were overthrown in a syndicalist coup after being defeated by the Cairo Pact), and the right-wing Entente of Canada, Australasia, India (with left-wing and nationalist elements wanting to jump ship to the Eurasians), South Africa, and France-outre-mer. Today, as we mark the 70th anniversary of the day that many historians view as the end of the Second Weltkrieg, when the Qing Empire formally surrendered to the Russians, Japanese, and Republican Chinese, we ask if there was no Second Weltkrieg? What would a world without a "Second Weltkrieg" look like?
