Here is the most worst case scenario the world could of gotten into.
Most WWII Historians agree that if Japan did not attack the US at Pearl Harbor, and instead helped the Germans with the war against the Soviet Empire (attacking the through the East), we would be living in a very different world! The Japanese forces combined with German forces would have eventually overpowered the Soviet Empire and would to taken it over. My guess is that Japan and Germany would have divided Russia in two, East Russia for Japan and West Russia for Germany.
Now there would only the US and Britain left. Most agree Germany would easily destroy Britain after the war against Russia and take Britain over. Finally, although the US has atomic bombs most would still think the combined forces of Germany and Japan would have overpowered the US.
And if this happened, again we would be living in a very different world today. A world ruled by Germany and Japan. VERY SCARY THOUGHT! If Japan attacked Russia instead of the US, this would have happened!
How would you predict the world would have been if under this rule? How do you think long do you think it would have taken for Germany and Japan to fight for whatever (obviously there will always be a rival war in years to come over control of land)? There are a lot of negatives if the axis won, but can you think of any positives? Do you think the world would have modernized faster or slower if under Germany and Japan?
