What If?

World War II began with the Axis Bloc, including Russia, believing it could control the world. Germany would defeat the unprepared British, Russia swallow the Middle-East and its oil and Japan, with China already whipped, swamp the Pacific leaving USA alone to face the Axis.· Had Russia not been forced to change sides, the outcome could have seen all that happen.· Deliberately splitting Germany's forces between an eastern as well as western front was Hitler's monumental error. Retaining Russia's might against the west, both then aiding Japan in the Pacific, could have changed the face of the world.
