What if World War II never took place between 1939-1945, and instead took place sometime between the late 1940s to early 1950s? Wasn't Mussolini's hold fragile, and close to collapsing? Who would become President of the United States after Harry Truman? Probably not Dwight D. Eisenhower. With later Japanese Invasions of Manchuria and China, would the KMT have defeated the CCP by now?
