What if Nazi Germany Survived?

Firstly Germany shores up its borders and moves into a massive reconstruction programme, this fuels its economy for the next 10 years of so called peace.  \n\nThe Brits are doing well as they do not have the massive burden of war debts that were built up and there Empire is still going strong 10 years later as it was not dismantled at the end of the war. \n\nThe war in the pacific decimated the American population, although they one the war, the loss of life on the American side was increased 3 fold as it was held conventionally and the Japanese decided not to surrender as there was not immediate threat to the civilian population.  This loss of life, coupled with the lack of a cold war with the Soviet Union makes the USA go back to its position of isolation and it never takes a major play in world politics.   \n\nThe Soviet Union stumbles along, but as it does not have the land's it gained at the end of the second world war the money to fuel its economy was never present so after 10 years it is already crumbling at the seams. \n\n1955. \n\nEngland\n\nBritain is worried about the growing political power of the Third Reich, it controls large swathes of Europe and it has developed a bomb that is reputed to be so powerful that it can destroy cities.  Britain steals the technology from the Third Reich and develops a bomb of its own as a deterrent.   \n\nGermany.\n\nWith the development of a nuclear bomb Germany looks to expansion once again, it has its eye on the Soviet Union, and is looking for an excuse to invade.   The rest of the world looks on as both Soviet Russia and Fascist Germany - now the Third Reich which encompasses Germany, Italy, France, ect are despised and the thought of them destroying each other is approved by most over nations. \n\nUSA. \n\nThe USA is now a major economic power its integrations of Japan as its 51st state has worked, and it has also integrated Mexico and Korea as its 52nd and 53rd states respectively.  It is worried again about the situation in Europe, but due to its policy it does not have a large spending on military and is more of an economic force than a militaristic one. \n\nSoviet Union.\n\nThis country was on the brink of collapse, but as always the threat to its identity by the fascist forces of the Third Reich have had an up swelling of pride and the army is growing at an exponential rate.  It is worried about the nuclear bomb but can not get its hands on the information of how to create one. \n\n1960.  \n\nGermany attacks the Soviet Union in the summer, the war was going well, but winter is setting in and once again the sever Soviet winter is acting as the saviour for the country, Germany is threaten to use nuclear and biological warfare against the Soviet Union, and the threat of this forces the Soviet Union to act first, and in an unprecedented act, in the absence of nuclear technology, carpet bombs large parts of the Third Reich with chemical and biological agents.  Germany responds and Moscow, Stalingrad, Leningrad are destroyed by nuclear weapons.  The Soviet Union collapse, however the damage inflicted upon the Third Reich is also insurmountable and this regime also collapses.  Both the United Kingdom and the USA step in and take control America's money is funding the British military and an agreement is set up that the remaining inhabitable parts of these two once great powers of the Third Reich and the Soviet Union will be split up between the two remaining powers.  \n\nThe United Kingdom is now in control of Europe and Africa with interests in South America and the Far East but most of the new world is controlled bythe Americans.  Due to the long standing friendship between the two powers, a lasting peace is at long last known to the world.

No.  The Germans weren't responsible for it in the first place.  The Nazis were.  Big difference.

Same as Germany 50 years ago.\n\nFor those that don't have the knowledge:\n50 years ago Germany was a postwar country trying to rebuild. Not only the world in and around them but also self image.

The Nazi government had an aim to try and better Germany and expand its borders for "living space". The policies and trends are completely different, so a direct comparison doesnt really work, but i see your point.\nThe current US gov is not, im my opinion making policies that greatly benefit the country, rather business and making rich people richer. The Nazi's, although very much misguided and twisted, did have grand plans to greatly improve Germany, which in some ways they did achieve (they achieved a lot of infrastructure improvements for instance).\nIt does have a nice ring to it though ;)

Although this answer does not directly relate to the question asked, I do wish to point out that NAZIs were members of the National Socialist party in Germany.  Socialists are as liberal as you get without becoming communists, who are even further to the left.\n\nWhy do liberals try to change history by saying NAZIs were conservative?

The Soviet Union.  They would have allied with the English and French during WWII and they would have eventually been able to pinch Hitler and if not crush him they would have been able to contain him.  The Soviets came up with the nuke about the same time we did, so if we weren't around they would have been the only ones.  I don't believe they would have had a laissez-faire attitude about China either -- I don't think China would have gotten near as far as they have if the USSR was the only superpower.  Of course, both of them being Communist, the USSR might have assimilated China.

WWII, basically the same thing. Germany was blamed the  most for everything.

Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, refers to Germany in the years 1933–1945, when it was under the control of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), or Nazi Party, with the Führer Adolf Hitler as chancellor and head of state. Nazi Germany worked in close proximity with and was allies with Imperial Japan (under Emperor Hirohito) and Fascist Italy (under Benito Mussolini) under the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis, which participated in World War II against the allies, led by the United States, United Kingdom, and Soviet Union.\n\nThird Reich, used as a near-synonym for Nazi Germany, is the English for the German expression Drittes Reich, roughly Third Empire, but the second word is seldom translated. It refers to the government and its agencies rather than the land and its people.\n\nThe Nazi Party deliberately attempted to combine traditional symbols of Germany with Nazi Party symbols in an effort to reinforce the perception of their being one and the same. Thus the Nazi Party used the terms "Drittes Reich" and "Tausendjähriges Reich" ("Thousand-Year Reich") to connect the glorious past to its supposedly glorious future. In speeches, books and articles about the Third Reich post 8 May 1945, the 1000 years is often juxtaposed against the twelve years of the Third Reich's existence. The terms were used only briefly and dropped from propaganda in 1939, officially to avoid persiflage, possibly also to avoid religious connotations.\n\nDuring their twelve year rule, the Nazis sent massive armies throughout most of continental Europe. Ideologically, the Nazis endorsed the idea of a Greater Germany, with Berlin renamed Germania as its capital, and integration of all people of supposed pure Germanic origin. This policy manifested itself in the systematic extermination of an estimated eleven million people of racial minorities within Germany and majority populations in some other European countries (Jews, Gypsies, Slavs), political opponents (liberals, communists), social outcasts (the disabled, homosexuals), and politically neutral groups and religions (such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons), as well as opposing inhabitants and tens of millions of others as a direct or indirect result of combat.\n\nChronology of events\n\n    * Weimar Republic (includes the events leading to Hitler's appointment as Chancellor of Germany in 1933)\n    * Hitler's rise to power\n    * Gleichschaltung (for the legal measures taken by the Nazis to establish their dictatorship)\n    * World War II (with a focus on military events)\n    * Axis Powers\n\n[edit]\n\nPre-War Politics 1933-1939\nBerlin during the Nazi era.\nEnlarge\nBerlin during the Nazi era.\n\nIn the wake of the First World War and subsquent economic depression, many German voters began turning their support towards Adolf Hitler's radical Nazi Party, which made great promises of an economic, cultural, and military renewal for the fledgling country. On January 30, 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg after attempts by General Kurt von Schleicher to form a viable government failed. Hindenberg was put under pressure by Hitler through his son Oskar, as well as intrigue from former Chancellor Franz von Papen following his collection of participating financial interests. Even though the Nazi Party had gained the largest share of the popular vote in the two Reichstag general elections of 1932, they had slim majority in parliament within the Papen-proposed Nationalist DNVP- NSDAP coalition. This coalition ruled through accepted continuance of un-Constitutional Presidential decree issuance under Article 48, prevalent in all Chancellorships since October 1931.\n[edit]\n\nConsolidation of power\n\nThe new government installed a dictatorship in a series of measures in quick succession (see Gleichschaltung for details).

I think it may be possible. Do you know that Hitler put the government building in fire- in Germany- and spread out the idea that it was russians residing in Germany who did it?(Read the history on the subject). Who has got the most benefit through the 9/11 events? Destroying the enemies (Saddam and Taliban) with a great excuse.

don't waste time defending this proposition. the fact is that all wars have survivors, even nuclear war. I'd suggest that your essay should chronicle progression of the mass murder that commenced in 1938 and continued through August 1945, with the extermination of 35 - 50 million (no one knows exact casualty totals) people during WW II. Billions survived this catastrophe, and billions will survive the next one.  Nonsense aphorisms such as the one your essay is to explore seem sensible, but in fact serve no purpose other than to distract rational persons from viewing their world in terms of its history and likely - even if dark - future. good luck!

There would be timeline repercussions.  World War 2 might never have happened, and the world would be a drastically different place.  It might be worse, or it might be better, there could have been some other crazy guy that just didn't get in before Hitler.  \n\nYes, I probably would kill him, but what if there was someone even worse out there just waiting for a chance?

No.It would collapse.The country was so locked down for so long it is going to take some time for them all to figure out how to get along without killing each other.

Even though they live on beans and beer the German blitz couldnt blow them up...Brits are pretty much bombproof even with nukes

If D-Day had failed than it is likely that Hitler and the Nazi Party would have suceeding in at least conquering Europe.  However, with Hitler's attitude and ideals I don't think he would have stopped with just Europe considering the fact that the Appeasement attempt of giving Czechoslavakia, more specifically the Sudaton land, failed.  The failure occurred because Hitler returned for the rest of the country.

Germany was doing poorly after WWI. They were faced with the entire debt of that war. The economy was falling apart and they needed a strong leader to pull it together. Hitler spoke of socialism, which is a great idea! But, it is impossible because of people's nature. He sold it on that, and got power.
