Let us assume that during the Great depression the US suffers it's own red revolution. what effects would that have for WW2 and beyond?
Britian and France become really desperate about contianing communism.
And rush to court Germany and italy, throwing Versailles away. The big question is, will that be enough to butterfly Nazism away ? Anyway, they will ally with Hitler and Mussolini nonetheless, it's their only hope.
Vary true but if Germany and Italy attack them then they would turn to America but would this Communist America respond and even if they did it might be too late.
If they give Hitler a completely free hand in Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, and Mussolini a free hand in Jugoslavia and Greece (and they likely will, what's an handful of minors in comparison to contain two Commie giants), they will never attack on the West (well, Mussolini might wish to, but without Germany, he never will). Once Hitler has his Central Europe booty, he will go right for Moscow. War in the West was a wholly unwelcome development to him.
Questions : a) Will Poland fight over Danzig and the Corridor, without any hope of Western help ? Will they welcome the Red Army in, and sacrifice Eastern Poland ? b) Will UK/France follow, if Germany goes Barbarossa (if USSR makes any moves of its own on Finland or Romania, they will). c) Will ComUSA go into alliance with USSR, or chart its own course ?
I bet Germany would eventully attack France and Britian to get back at them in world war one.
maybe, there would be civil war; maybe USSR+USA+China fight with England+France+German+japanLet us assume that during the Great depression the US suffers it's own red revolution. what effects would that have for WW2 and beyond?
Then England, France, Germany, and Japan are all fucked.maybe, there would be civil war; maybe USSR+USA+China fight with England+France+German+japan
Then England, France, Germany, and Japan are all fucked.
Would a red revolution in the US even be plausible, I mean it is not Russia we are talking about here the US have a strong democratic tradition, I have a hard time picturing gulags in the Arizona desert or red guards killing mid western farmers.![]()
