I mean totally winning. When I was young, I saw a show on TV about an alternate history where the the US suffered a string of total defeats during world war two and only fought the Japanese off on the shores of California and Los Angeles. The Japanese were stopped there. The Show centered around a few people trying to reset the time line. But that show stuck with me and I keep wondering how that would be possible.
What would have to change to give the Japanese that kind of power where they destroy the US naval fleet instead of the other way around.
Then have the capacity to carry a massive number of troops across the pacific to land them in Los Angeles.
What would have to change and where. I know the PODs may have to go way back, maybe even during the Japanese Civil War that disposed the Tokagawa Shogunate and place the Emperor back in power
I hope you all dont think this is a stupid question, maybe it is
