>>12747298>most plausible Alternative TimelineUK, France and Poland heed Stalin's advice and form a coalition to save Czechoslovakia in 1938. Germany is btfo, Nazism is kicked out after 5 years in power.
USSR tries to hold to eastern Poland (as Polish authorities predicted they would) which creates a frozen conflict in Poland between capitalist West Poland and socialist East Poland. They try to do the same in Czechoslovakia but fail. The Eastern bloc never forms beyond USSR and East Poland as Soviets never enter Finland, Romania or Bulgaria. European monarchies (Yugoslavia, Romania, Greece, Norway...) are forced to decide whether to adopt more democratic, more socialistic or more fascistic aspects, most of them apply Realpolitik.
Fascism stays strong in Italy and Spain for long. Latin American nations tend to incorporate more fascist policies as fascism is considered a valid "Third position" to liberal democracy and real socialism. Some colonised peoples in Asia and Africa turn to fascism in the struggle of national liberation, some to socialism. Decolonisation takes much longer than IRL as a 3-way Cold War between democracies, socialist countries and fascist countries makes all conflicts extremely murky. New wars are characterised by complicated 3-way interventions and changing sides.
The world looks more or less the same as irl but without 80 million deaths attributable to Nazi idiocy.
