126 - The World after the World War

Well, here we are, finally.  The Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan have been defeated.   Hitler has committed suicide, at least that’s the official story, Mussolini was captured and hanged, and the Japanese emperor had to go on a nationwide broadcast and admit that he was not a deity.  The Allies were firmly in control of all the Axis lands, and the countries that they had conquered.  If you look at a map of the high-tide mark of the Axis control, which was probably mid-1942, they controlled all of Europe, except the UK and the remnant of the European part of the USSR.  They controlled much of North Africa.  The Axis controlled all of the western Pacific Ocean, and in mid-1942, they had inflicted huge damage on the existing militaries of the Allies.  Website:  shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail:  [email protected]
