the counterfactual thing is only interesting in a space like this, really. but hey...we're in a space like this. so clear up willravel's question and maybe i'll play too. are there also assumptions about the soviets? i would assume that you would have to start at some arbitrary point during, world war 2, say right before the consolidation of the post-war system and pose a different set of choices from there, yes? if you figure that the postwar thing involved stuff like bretton woods (summer 1944)...so... yes. interesting.
