How do you think life will be today if the Axis won?

Say the WW2 outcome was different. Instead of the allies winning the Axis won. Japan, Italy, and hitler's germany wins. I think pretty much all of europe, Africa would be controlled by italy and germany. The only languages there would be italian and german. Hitler would have killed many more people cause of genecide. All of Asia, north america, and south america would be under Japanese rule. Japanese would be the main language, toyota would've never had the recalls jk, So what would it be like today if the axis won WW2?

Well we would

heil (pffft) heil (pffft) right in Der Fuehrer's Face

The Japanese would continuemurdering and torturing us i guess.

Pretty much like that but world wide.

*Hi fives*

Hope you're enjoying your stay. :)

I'm sure an underground rebellion will overthrow the regime sooner or later...they can't possibly dominate the entire globe.

I doubt the Axis powers would successfully invade the US, number one.

I think it would have eventually collapsed.

I think they would stop...eventually. They don't want to kill everybody - who would they have to dominate?

Can't say the same for the Germans and the Jews, though.

Dont even know why they started massacring in the first place.

Well, for one thing, it's war, so you're going to get a lot of massacres/killings.

It also helps to create fear in the local population.

I would understand killing armed troops, its a war after all,but unarmed children and woman? No man.

Most rebellions are probably formed because of the cruel treatment anyway.

Sorry but i didnt get the post. :P

I have a hard time seeing America surrendering to tyranny an ocean away so it would probably be anarchy here if our govt surrendered to Germany.

Germany and Japan would be the two superpowers instead of US and Russia.

Germany will eventually invade the Middle East.

Have you ever seen V for Vendetta?

Pretty much like that but world wide.

CosmicZombie

no more Jews! :cry:

I doubt it would be as bad as everyone is making out.

that is human history, countries being taken over and ruled by foreign powers.

eventually everyone would have gotten use to it and lived how they normally would have lived. People who were born after the war would grow up not knowing any different.

just look at vietnam, even though it was taken over by the communists it's basically like any other country.

A cold war between a german lead european union and the United states and the commonwealth(with the USA)would have replaced the cold war. The EU would have become a mirror image of the warsaw pact-serf nations with the watchful eye of the third reich looming over.

the USSR would cede territory for Germany during the war and eventually come to an uneasy truce that would become easier as time went by-Making it a neutral power in the American-germany standoff. This means no glasnost-since it wouldn't be a monolith of the free world Vs. the russian dictatorship-but two despotic unions and a democratic one. That's my thoughts.

I'd probably know Japanese

My grandparents moved from Japan right before the war to Brazil, so I never learned Japanese, even though I look Japanese.. so I guess they wouldn't kill me (?) :P

I wouldn't be wholly bad for me, seeing as I'm white and generally passive towards laws I don't like.

I'unno about others though.

If Japan did wipe out the US forces at Pearl Harbour, it wouldn't be a problem for them to get California. Germany could get Europe, barring Russia. The mistake from Hitler was that he invaded Russia, which he should left out last. Get the whole of Europe first, then only get Russia. But I doubt that could happen. I could only think that Germany would sign a treaty with Russia to come to terms and divide their fair share of spoils. As for South Asia, Japan would definitely get it, except for Thailand. The rest of SEA would be invaded. If that really happened, we wouldn't have the current Middle East conflict, for sure. As for me, a bit tricky, I may or may not exist. I could be born a Japanese! Napster06

This. The problem that both Japan and germany had was that they attacked two bears, the soviet Union and the U.S. Germany had no chance once they attacked the USSR, but I believe that if Japan had just had better luck and better naval commanders, the U.S. could have been invaded. perhaps not held, but at least threatened. If the carriers at pearle harbour had been there, or the battle of midway had beeenwon, The U,S, would be on very dangerous ground.The main problem with this, from a military standpoint, is that while the Japanese navy was the largest and most advanced of it's time, the army was stuck in the inter-war years. It had barely any submachine guns, and its tanks were terrible. (In the later war, they actually produced small amounts of tanks that could stand up to American armor, but by this time bombing had crippled japanese industry, and these few tanks were allocated to protect the home islands, and thus never saw combat). because of this, an offensive accross the U.S. heartland would have become impossible once we started to mass produce heavier tanks. (unless the Japanese had launched a full on strategic bombong campaign and cripple American industry). So, all in all, an allied victory was assured on all fronts.

If the Axis won? I wouldn't exist. So I wouldn't know what life would be like.

Also, if Japan had kept the Soviets occupied east, The Germans may have been able to take Moscow (and Stalingrad) since most of the forces in the Russian counterattack were from their reserves east.

I doubt the Axis alliance would've held. With Hitler's plans for the "master race" I honestly doubt he'd leave the Japanese alone if the Axis had won the war. He'd probably continue developing nukes and use them on Japan. He wouldn't stop at two either. For him, only total annihilation will do. The rest of the non-whites on Earth would either be slave labor or exterminated one by one.

there'd be no internetssssssssss

Dehumanziation of the enemy (which is often essential to war) is another cause of this.

As is difference in culture. Just compare the American war tradition to that of the Japanese.

It is my personal belief that they racial-supremacy views traditionally associated with nazism had more to do with politics than outright love of the "aryan race". If Hitler truly wanted to exterminate all races but "aryans", then only the population of Western Europe would remain, and i can't see how that would be advantagous for germany. Besides, I think it far more likely that japan and germany would have just become much like the U.S. and the Soviet Union were durring the cold war, and who knows? maybe nukes wouldn't have even been developed (the nuclear capability of Nazi Germany was really questionable, and perhaps they just would have abandoned the project after all their failures). Who says that an axis ruled world would be that much worse? History belongs to the victors-the axis could have just as easily portrayed the "capitalist, money greedyAmericans" and the Brutal Stalinist rule that killed millions more than Hitler ever did (notice the lack of quotations) as a terrible fate that the world avoided. Who knows? If it weren't for the U.S. an the Soviets, much of the world wouldn't be as screwed up as it is now...

I would have been born japanese instead of Korean.

Also, the world would probably be a lot simpler. Economic and political issues would be easier to negotiate. We have no way of knowing, but its entirely possible the world could have been better off

You'd be visited by the Grammar Nazis for the incorrect usage of verb tenses.

Read The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick. It's a great alternate history novel with that exact premise, TC.
