If the Soviet Union joined the Axis powers, what would be the outcome of World War II?

The hypothesis of

is actually not alarmist, but almost became a fact. The whole event process is as if there is an invisible hand dominating the world, and the ending of World War II seems to be controlled by some power.

We know that the Second World War that occurred from 1939 to 1945, although it is known as a world war, it is nothing more than a few major powers that are really fighting and playing a major role: axis countries are Germany and Italy. , Japan; the allies are the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and China (Because France had already surrendered and withdrew from the frontal battlefield at the beginning of the war, its contribution was ignored).

The Soviet Red Army occupied Berlin.

Judging from the comparison of the strengths of the participating countries in the above war, although the allies and have the upper hand, if one of the allies joins the camp of the Axis powers, the balance of the war will be towards the Axis powers. Tilt, and this situation almost happened in 1940.

In 1940, as the German army became invincible in the European battlefields, it almost conquered European countries including France. Only the United Kingdom, which was isolated outside the Atlantic Ocean, and the Soviet Union with half of its territory in Asia, were left on the European map. . So at that time, most countries in the world believed that Germany would win the war. This also included Japan, which was in full swing in the ‘cause’ of Asian aggression.

In order to realize its own "great cause", but also want to hold "Germany" self-respect, hoping to use the influence of Germany to check the interference of the United States and Britain and other countries on its aggression in Asia, Japan soon put its own hot face 'Fucked hot ass in Germany.

's initiative to surrender to Japan, Germany is of course happy to see it, and Germany also wants to use Japan in Asia to contain the United States and the United Kingdom, so Germany and Japan quickly hit it off, and the Japanese surname Gao Cailiedi joined Germany and Italy. The alliance signed the "Germany, Italy and Japan Treaty of the Three Nations Alliance" in Berlin on September 27, 1940. Z1z is called the "Axis Power" because the three countries are located on the same geographic axis.

In 1940, the Axis of Germany, Italy and Japan formally formed

Although Japan is a very fanatical militarist country, there are still many visionaries in its country. While forming alliances with Germany and Italy, they have already extended their tentacles to the Soviet Union. . Immediately after the end of the ‘friendly visit’ to Germany, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoro Matsuoka rushed to Moscow non-stop, and once he arrived in Moscow, he exchanged cups with Stalin and other high-ranking Soviet officials in the Kremlin and spoke with joy.

In fact, Japan also knows that Germany and the Soviet Union have never dealt with each other. Although the two have signed the "Soviet-German Non-aggression Treaty" , even ghosts would not believe this treaty. The facts later proved this again. The hypocrisy of a treaty that even ghosts can't fool. After any great power in Europe rises, it will launch an offensive against Russia. This was the case in France under Napoleon, and so was Hitler.

Of course, part of the reason for Japan's "show good" to the Soviet Union was that it was beaten by the Soviet Union in Zhang Gufeng and Nomonkan, but the bigger reason was that Japan saw the Soviet Union's pivotal position in the world situation at the time.

The Soviet Union, as the world's second most powerful country at the time, had a comprehensive national strength, especially its industrial strength, and its strength was obvious to all. Even after the Great Purge, its terrifying military strength still made Japan fear three points.

In 1940, the Axis Alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan was formed. On the other hand, on the side of the Allies, only China and the United Kingdom were struggling to support at the time. After losing its homeland and colony, was basically a soy saucer. At this time, the United States was still suffering from domestic neutralism. 'The trouble, although it supports China and Britain to a certain extent, it is also doing business with Germany and Japan. It can be said that the Allied Powers at the time were a mess. In fact, there was no such thing as the "Allied Powers".

In view of the international situation at the time, the Soviet Union, which was busy with domestic political turmoil at the time, naturally did not want to take a trip to the muddy waters, and even had the idea of ​​joining the Axis powers to protect themselves or fish in muddy waters. Therefore, knowing that Germany was deliberately unpredictable, he still tried his best to promote the signing of the "Soviet-German Non-aggression Treaty." Stalin's idea at the time was that'can drag on a day is a day'. So at the beginning of World War II, the Soviet Union was the German war machineThe equipment kept ‘blood replenishment’, and even on the night of Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union, Soviet trains full of various military materials continued to depart for Germany.

​​From 1939 to 1940, it was the'honeymoon period' between the Soviet Union and Germany. "So far, Japan has ended its strategic debate on'southern advancement' or'northern advancement', and has begun its "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle" business with no distraction.

In 1940, in the years when the whole world was enveloped by the ‘halo’ of the German, Italian and Japanese axis countries, there seemed to be no power in the world to stop them from moving forward. Compromise or join should be a very natural choice, and the Soviet Union could use the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Treaty" and the "Soviet-Japan Neutrality Treaty" to make peace with Germany and Italy and become one of the Axis powers.

, as one of the Axis powers, Japan is obviously willing to join the Soviet Union. In that year, Japan had already put forward the concept of , a four-nation alliance of ‘Germany, Italy, Japan and Soviet’, and was actively promoting this alliance.

The scene where the Soviet Union and Japan signed the "Soviet-Japan Neutrality Treaty"

However, this beautiful wish was completely shattered on June 22 of the following year. Germany launched an operation codenamed'Barbarossa' on June 22, 1941. The Soviet Union began to invade the Soviet Union in an all-round way. The Soviet Union also declared war on Germany that day, and announced that it would join China, Britain, and France, and officially raised the anti-fascist banner. At this point, the world began to appear forces that can fight fascism. Later, with the entry of the United States, the scale of war was completely biased to the side of the Allies.

The inaugural meeting of the World Anti-Fascist League

Germany’s aggressive actions against the Soviet Union are extremely confidential, and even the ally, Japan, has no knowledge. So that on June 22nd, the Japanese were all dumbfounded, because Japan was still busy with the Soviet Union joining the Axis powers. It is no wonder that the Japanese who had always respected Germany at that time also scolded Germany for the first time. People are not kind. all say that Japan ‘pitted’ Germany in World War II because Japan provokes the United States in the Pacific. But in fact, Germany first ‘pitted’ Japan and brought Japan a super strong opponent, and this opponent has the potential to become an ally. The last blow to Japan was this enemy who could have become an ally.

On June 22, 1941, Germany launched the ‘Barbarossa’ operation against the Soviet Union. The Second World War has entered a new stage

So, teammates are used to pit!

From 1940 to 1941, people all over the world experienced a historical turn, and the Soviet Union’s choice became the node of that turn. At that time, the Soviet Union was at a historical node. As long as oscillated slightly, or even hesitated slightly, then the direction of the entire world might become another scene.

​​On September 2, 1945, the Japanese representative signed an unconditional surrender agreement on the Missouri, and the Second World War was declared over. That day was a big problem. Before the United States could react, Germany, Italy, Japan and the Soviet Union had already divided the world, and the United States could only follow the trend of history and choose to compromise or join!
