About
President Franklin D. Roosevelt was assassinated in 1933. He was succeeded by Vice President John Nance Garner, who was subsequently replaced by John W. Bricker. Neither man was able to revive the nation from the Great Depression, and both clung to an isolationist policy concerning the oncoming war.
Without U.S. assistance, Britain and then the rest of Europe fell to the Axis Powers. The Japanese completely destroyed the U.S.'s Pacific fleet in a much more expansive attack on Pearl Harbor. The U.S., ailing from years of economic distress, fell to the Axis and many important cities, such as New York and San Francisco, were destroyed.
By 1947, all Allies had surrendered to Axis control. The Eastern United States were placed under German control and the Western States under Japanese control. The Mountain States and much of the Midwest remained somewhat autonomous.
After Adolf Hitler was incapacitated by syphilis, the head of the Nazi Party Chancellery, Martin Bormann, assumed the leadership of Germany. The Nazis created a colonial empire and continued their mass murder of races they considered inferior, murdering Jews in areas they controlled and mounting a massive genocide in Africa. They also pursued space exploration and experienced the spread of new technology, such as television, through Germany.
Meanwhile Japan continued a more peaceful, but certainly not democratic rule, in much of Asia and territories in the Pacific Ocean. Like the United States and the Soviet Union after the actual World War II, the Japanese and the Germans are distrustful of one another.
Martin Bormann dies and other Nazis such as Joseph Goebbels and Reinhard Heydrich challenge to become Reichskanzler. Various factions of the Nazi party are described as either seeking war with Japan or being more interested in colonising the solar system.
