Starting to watch Episode 3 and I'm pondering if there is a way to make the overall plot plausible ?
I think the background is reasonable (FDR death in 33, isolationist US, etc)
Also fairly reasonable is the idea that absent US aid the UK and USSR can't hold out against Germany.
Absent oil embargo and US aid I think Japan could probably beat China.
Though in both cases it might take until middle/late 40's for final victory.
So US conquest in 47 (per book IIRC) is out of the window.
But give Germany the rest of the 40's early 50's to build up, add in German atomic weapons (and potentially the US scrambling to catch up) then perhaps some time in the 50's we could see this playing out.
So 1962 could be the early years of the US conquest.
Admittedly it requires a running of the table for the Axis but it could happen on a more drawn out timeline.
Thoughts ?
