What if the Axis had won the war?

[Martiallaw]

Hi guys,



How the world of today would have been if the Axis had won WW II instead of the Allies. I think along with most of Europ, Germany would also be including all the former Soviet area and Japan all the China along with many other areas of Asia.[:)]

There was a film made that explored this to some extent 'Fatherland' starring Rutger Hauer. It has been a long time since I have seen it though.

The entire world would be "at best" like North Korea or we would all be dead.

I see no middle ground.

Yes it is. The other Robert Harris books I have read are excellent too. Enigma has a background in WW2 codebreaking, Pompei is about the volcano and Archangel is set in 90s Russia but involves the WW2 era too.

I could not understand your point number 9 that there would have been no Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq. How? Although your points that there would have been no Israel, Poland and North Korea are understandable.[:)]

If I remember right, the Ottoman Empire and the Arabian Peninsula had been cut up into what we know as the Middle East by the Allies following WWI.

I see. Yes you are right. But why did you include Iran (Persia)?
