It's quite simple, what is the fate of Europe and ultimately the world if the United States didn't foot the bill for the reconstruction of Europe after world war two.
No money to burn on starting a rampant nationalisation program or welfare state.![]()
Communists overwhelmingly sweep to power, soviets instead back the reconstruction in order to expand their hegemony, US effectively loses the cold war.
Well, yeah. Then there's just a Soviet Europe. The only regime on the Continent I could see surviving from the start of WWII to the end would be maybe Salazar's Portugal and of course the USSR.How about a scenario where the US doesn't join the war against Germany at all? It's certainly doable.
What about the Swiss and Swedish regimes?Well, yeah. Then there's just a Soviet Europe. The only regime on the Continent I could see surviving from the start of WWII to the end would be maybe Salazar's Portugal and of course the USSR.
