An alternative outcome of WW2:
It starts with the end of WW1, the russian empire is defeated, and the the
communists with their leader Lenin take over Russia and establish the soviet union. Russia loses Finland, the baltic nations, Poland, the caucasian nations and parts of central asia, which get under british influence. Germany loses the war and France annexes all territories up to the Rhine. Austria-Hungary falls apart and several new nations are born, the czech republic, and the state of slovenes croats and serbs is established. Romania annexes Transsylvania and the Slovaks remain a part of Hungary.
As time passes, the Nazis come to power in Germany and plan to take over all of Europe. Germany starts the war on March, 12 1938, by annexing Austria and attacking the czech republic. After the incorporation of the two central european countries, Germany attacks poland and the baltic states. After the invasion of Norway and the Benelux countries, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, the ottoman empire and Japan sign the axis treaty. Serbia, the SCS State and Greece are invited to join
them, but after they refuse to do so they are attacked and occupied by the axis powers. The war continues and germany, together with italy attack France and secure the the "atlantic wall". in 1942 the 3rd Reich and it's eastern allies attack the USSR and millions of slavonic and jewish people are slaughtered in the death camps of eastern europe. Japan attacks the USSR from the east and captures much of the russian pacific coast. Due to social unrests caused by the communist misgovernment
and the war sufferings, a civil war breaks out on the free territories of the soviet empire. the communists are defeated by 1944 and the only remaining slavic royal family, the Obrenovic dynasty of Serbia is set on the russian throne by the victorius monarchists. In 1946 The Russian empire defeated Japan in the east and is pushig the Germans back to the west. There are huge national uprisings in Hungary and Serbia. Both nations can liberate themselves from the occupators. Russia unslaves
Poland, Finland the baltic states, Bohemia and finally, by April 1947 they
conquer Berlin. Hitler fled to Aachen and started peace negotiations with the Russians. The Germans are successfull and sign a peace treaty with the Russians and their allies. Germany loses it's eastern territories but manages it to hold up the western frontline. by july 1948 the Germans surprisingly win the war in western Europe. The USA isolate themselve again, so there is no cold war. The UK's Influence in Europe and central asia (which is controlled by Russia again) is pushed back, Frace loses all its colonies to Germany and the ottoman empire.
