Let assume the Nazi's were removed form power in 1938 by Wehrmacht officers and politicians fearing the political fall out from the Sudeten crisis would end in catastrophe for Germany. A short period of internal unrest caused by hard line Nazi elements, Communist who tried to take advantage of the moment and financial crisis caused by the re-armament policy of the Nazi's followed. During 1940, a democratic elected, center left, government is in power comprising a coalition of Social Democrats and Christen Democrats.
Even Germany returned to a democratic government, Europe is still an unstable continent struggling with economic recession where more countries are ruled by a dictator than by democratic elected governments. Spain is recovering from a devastating civil war, and the Soviet Union is a potential thread to all of Europe not only by brute force but also by subversive action and intrigues of the Comintern.
What would be the political, economical and military effects on Europe in general and by country, how will the colonial powers handle the upcoming nationalist movements in their overseas possessions?
