Hi! as the title suggests, try and make world war 2 last until the 1950s! Only requirements that the reason the war started and those involved have to remain the same, and that most of the war has to remain the same!

Overlord and Bagration fail. As does the Manhatten project. Whether that would extend the war to 1950 or only just extend it into 1946, is another matter.

I don't think Axis logistics could hold out for that long, unless the U.S. stays out. The U.S. would probably get dragged in by Japan's antics, and then the Axis would be ground down, I don't think later than 1946, maybe 1947.

Given those parameters Nazi Germany would be lucky to last a few extra months, never mind years. By late 1944 early 1945 the German industrial base was finally being bombed out of existence. Their transport system was collapsing and their oil supplies were running out.

Have an isolationist US president in 40. So until 44, no support to Allies or sanctions on Axis.

Also, have Britain and France launch Operation Pike (and so, war on Soviet Union) in the Spring of 40.

And finally, have the USA eventually join the war in 44 (after an interventionist president gets elected).

Not seeing how Germany and Japan's economies can last another five years. You need changes so massive and so early you would butterfly the war entirely or have something utterly unrecognizable.

If Soviet Union is brought on the Axis side by Operation Pike, and provides oil, coal, food, iron ore and other strategic materials to Germany and Japan (and possibly Italy), could Axis economies stay afloat ?

What's in it for Stalin? He knew this peace was only one of buying time and delaying the inevitable - he's going to need those resources sooner or later.

Of course it wouldn't be for free, it would be in exchange for technology and industrial equipment (and I guess that without an eastern front that massively consumes German resources, the Reich might be able to actually provide the industrial equipment it owed to Soviet Union).

Also, Stalin didn't want to join the Axis (he would likely have preferred to remain neutral and watch the capitalists fight), but if the WAllies attack the USSR, he won't have a choice.
