    Epic back-and-forth timelapse! Favorite part 6:40 - Axis at brink of defeat is joined by Spain, which probably faced against extremely low-strength divisions proceeds to clear western europe before running out of steam.
    I wish there could be a counter on-screen of numbers over time per faction/major: fielded manpower, reserve manpower, and casualties. The total losses in these type of timelapses must be stupendous

    Quite an expected outcome. With no US to fight the Japanese, they roflstomp Asia. The Allies take longer, a lot longer, to execute Operation Overlord successfully. But Italy being so successful in the Middle East and Africa was a bit of a surprise. And the UK being overpowered in this patch shows, no US means no lend-lease, so they should be hurting for planes and materials. Funny how Japan's AI always seems to go for Australia and New Zealand. Sure, it is only a few divisions but still.

Which means that after ww1 government would try to make their armies stronger by making new faster firing guns, huge armoured vehicles, etcetera
      Which means that there wouldn't be a second great war since people would already move on from it.

    Interesting question. In my opinion, while it would have been harder, the USSR would have still won in the end and might have been more dominant. It would have depended on what Britian (for example they tried and apparently failed to invade Greece in 1944 in part to stop the Soviet advancing into East Europe), Germany, and Japan might have done.
