Default How do you think it would be if...

...the Axis had won the war?

Im making this thread out of boredom cause i see the same threads getting bumped and bumped again. I've read the whole BALZ series already, if someone asks.

Well, i think it would be the end of communism and Germany (if not European Union as a whole) would probably be as USA is today when the reins would pass from Hitler to the next one.

*Its a giant topic this one, i know, but just xplain it in 2-3 lines.

If Roosevelt had died earlier in office and Japan hadn't attacked Pearl Harbor ?

Who knows. The world WOULD be a very different place.

I think it would be the end of ALL jews and gypsies, the likes of which Hitler hated.
I'm not too sure about Hitler's plans, if he even had them, for the world if/when he won the war. I'm thinking it wouldn't be too bad a place for non-jewish people?

No opposition allowed, say a wrong word to the wrong person and you end up dead. Happened to a lot of people even before the war. No news from outside, take the NS news or don't take any at all. Think their way or don't think at all and don't try to disobey order. It's bad for your health you know.

I don't know, but that doesn't sound like a place where I would like to live.

I agree that at the first years of his reign and during the war there was much oppression. That happens in every dictatorship. But, there werent few dictators who were loved afterwards.
Franco shared ideas with Hitler, for example but he enjoyed long live as a national leader.
Metaxas is named national hero in Greece. The day he said no to the Italians is celebrated as a national holiday. He too shared ideas with Hitler.
I have read Mein Kampf and discussed it with other reader and, man, sometimes he gives you the idea that he has a point.

We would have what we have now, but a european republic. i have a feeling it would be crumbling or would have crumbled by now, like communism did. it seems impossible to keep on sqeezing a population under one tyrany; they all fall in the end, only to be replaced by another one - less openly tyranical, then slowly, the knot begins to tighten.....

If Germany had somehow managed to pull off a victory... things would have never been right both in the country and in command.

In the end I believe a revolution would have been its downfall sooner or later. As you see, no country is going to be around...

It would be extremely hard for Germany to invade the northern Americas. probably might stand a chance in the southern Americas.

That might have solved the illegal immagration problem.

lol, im sure it would... but in the end, I think the USA in america would have been a very hard country to tame... because im sure that alot of americans would have

A joined the military, makeing americas army largely outnumber the Germans, also the US has not got to move its stuff far/accrost a ocean to fight.

B If america was take over the populace would be VERY upset im sure. and would often rebel. and try to overthrow the German forces...

Also, You see what happens when a country trys to take over the world. It never really works.

There have been already similar discussions about this in the past. And the matter does not really belong here, so I'm moving it to the proper forum.

Define 'won'.

If we're talking about Germany, it can range from anything to making separate peace and survivng as a state, to conquering Europe and Russia up to the A-A Line to complete world domination.

Similarly, while Germany could've lost, Japan might've won to some extent and vice-versa.
