Cold war ww2 prompt
Would this be a good prompt for a world in which ww2 is a cold war?
In February 1939, Adolf Hitler unexpectedly dies from a brain hemorrhage. His sudden death throws the Nazi leadership into chaos. Instead of immediate war, a power struggle erupts between Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, and the German military leadership. The new German government becomes more cautious and avoids launching the invasion of Poland. However, Germany keeps Austria and the Sudetenland, and maintains strong territorial ambitions in Eastern Europe. Germany, United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union enter a tense geopolitical standoff instead of open war. Europe becomes divided into rival ideological blocs: Germany leads an authoritarian continental bloc with Italy and several nationalist states. The UK and France lead a democratic alliance trying to contain German influence. The Soviet Union expands influence in Eastern Europe and competes with both sides. Proxy conflicts, espionage, political coups, and arms races replace direct war. Nuclear research accelerates as every bloc fears the others gaining a decisive weapon. By the early 1940s, the world enters a three-way Cold War between the German Bloc, the Western Democracies, and the Soviet sphere. Global politics revolve around influence, proxy wars, and technological competition instead of a second world war. During the following chaos Turkey took over Syria and Cyprus without anyone being able to do anything about it because of this they keep the territories without anyone doing anything about it. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse because of a lack of resources and political instability. Fascism is rising in latin American countries. Spain, portugal and poland are under fascist regimes. In the allies are the nations of United kingdom, France, the USA, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Greece. In the comintern are the Soviet Union, Mongolia, Tannu Tuva, Xinjang clique and Finland. In the axis are Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Poland, Portugal, nationalist China, Manchukou, Mongol Domain, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Thailand and Turkey. Currently the allies is the strongest faction but the geopolitical scene is changing fast and the axis is doing everything they can to become the dominant faction.
