World War 1 and 2 at the same time!

The Great war Began on September 1 1939 when the Austo-Hungarian Empire invaded Serbia. This triggered the Alliance system of Europe. The Central powers seemed to be off to a good start, as the Blitzkreig tactics of the Germans lead to France and Belgum falling quickly. However the Germans where not able to win the "Battle of Britian" and the war dragged on. The American entry into the war on the British side in December 7 1941 was the result of an attack on american ships by German U-boats. The war in Europe turned agianst Germany with the Battle of Tsaritsyn (Stalingrad's name before the revolution in OTL.) In 1944 the Anglo-American invassion of Normandy resulted in a war on two fronts. The War ended in 1945 with droping of the atomic bombs by the Americans.

How could this happen?

What would the post war be like?
 
wow, did a truck load of ASB's just crash into your house or what?

I don't even know where to begin with this, since the scenario you just put forward is so close to OTL and so far at the same time as to require some really crazy POD or just a total ASB fest.


In order for anything like this to happen you would need to have a germany with a massive military might by now, no major global war ahead of time or a hugely successful German victory in it. The Czars to somehow avoid being overthrown since even without WWI the Russian people were still pretty unhappy with the Russian autocracy. In fact if such a thing did manage to happen chances are the Russian army would have been grossly outdated(probably still at WWI standards) since Russia under the Czars was an agrarian nation not an industrial one(and a great leap forward under the Czars would most definetly done the same thing WWI did for them) The same tensions between the AH empire and serbia to still be in existence some 20 years later without them erupting into war(highly unlikely). Keep in mind that what I listed here is only a fraction of the changes required.

In other words you would have a tremendous amount of work ahead of yourself if you want to make a plausible timeline in which this scenario plays out without ASB's. I'm not saying that such a scenario is impossible without ASB's, but you will need a lot of research into the Geopolitical and socioeconomic setting of the world in the first half of the 20th century, such as that required for a PHD dissertation in history. You will probably also need multible POD's, since I doubt that one is gonna do it.

Also you left out asia, what the heck is going on with Japan in this TL?
