The Alternate History portion of the story goes something like this: [list] [*]The United States's Neutrality Acts of the 1930s were more strictly followed than in actual history: [list] [*]The US denied [i]all[/i] assistance -- military and non-military -- to China and all European nations that were or would be involved in what would become World War II. [*]The Lend-Lease Program would never come to be, denying $1 trillion in assistance (in 2024 value) to Europe, Russia, and China. [*]As a result of these and other things (to be spoken of in future posts), the US would not go to war with either the German Reigh or the Empire of Japan. [/list] [*]After Franklin Delano Roosevelt's death in mid-1941 (not 1945) during his third term as President, [i]now[/i]-President Henry A Wallace met with Adolf Hitler to: [list] [*]Negotiate and sign the secret "Treaty of Non-Aggression between the United States of America and the German Reich" pact. [*]Divide Europe, Africa, and the Middle East into "spheres of influence": [list] [*]Germany gets: [list] [*]All of Europe with the exception of the British Isles and Iceland. [*]The countries of Africa that border the Mediterranean Sea. [*]The Soviet Union and any territories the USSR controls. [/list] [*]The United States (and any allies they chose to let in on the deal) either get or get to supply/control: [list] [*]The British Isles and Iceland. [*]The rest of Africa and the Middle East with the exception of those Mediterranean coast countries that go to Germany. [*]South America. [/list] [/list] [*]Germany will keep their submarines and warships out of the Atlantic with the exception of a zone within 100 miles of their European/African possessions. [*]The US and her allies will keep their submarines and warships out of that 100-miles German zone and the Mediterranean. [*]The Arctic Ocean is closed to military vessels, both under and on the water aa well as in the air. [/list] [*]And more that I will write later when I have more time. [/list]
