Bring 'em on![/QUOTE]
One of the problems about plans for the "Post War" period was that many of them they were never fully implemented. Sharing the world with another alliance creates restrictions on what or would not ever happen, let alone a three power world. I'll use a little abbreivation system (3A for Three alliances, 2A for two, and 1A for just one.) If something would be done with all three alliances left in the world, it would also be done with two or one, etc.
The Axis Powers:
--National Socialism of the Church-- A big plan of the Nazis was the Nazification of the Christian Church. I'm unsure of the ramifications of this (I'm an Atheist myself), but should at least be a Flavor. 1A
--Germanisurung. The Long Term aim (at least according to Hitler), of the war in the East was to create a "living space" for the German People. Of course, the stresses of war prevented this from really happening during the lifetime of the German Reich, but when those stresses are over, Poland could well become "Germany II". THis would mean that Germany starts making national provinces out of Polish and Russian Territory, with the Crimea as a very likely new national territory. 2A
--Showdown with Japan. Germany planned all along to destroy the Japanese after wasting the Allies and the Commintern. This would be the "Afterwar" to the second world war, and by this time, the German Navy would be ready to challenge the Japanese. 1A.
--Collapse of Free French. If the Allies and the Germans really came to peace, one factor would the recognition of the Vichy Government. This, in turn, would defeat the Free French (and any other Exile governments). Free French goes to Vichy French. 3A
--Romania and Finland get a very favorable border at the expense of the Soviets. 3A.
--Eventually, Africa and South America are going to wind up as German "Colonies" of sorts. Whateve form they take is unknown to me. 3A
--Victory events for defeating enemies. 3A
--Germany could also ruthlessly demand territory from its "allies", like Bolzano from Italy and all of Switzerland. 3A
Commintern Events
--Destabization and Overthrow of France, Czechloslovkia, Austria and Italy. Czechloslovkia was overthrown by the Soviets and the others could well have had the same fate. 2A
--Intervene in the Chinese Civil War 3A. Obvious reasons with obvious gains involved.
--The Fate of the Germans. If Stalin got to call the shots, there would never be another Germany. At a minimum, it would be divided into smaller countries. Historically, however, the Red Army and the abused peoples of Eastern Europe actually drove back the German people into a smaller area. There might be no reason to stop at the Oder--Berlin could well become occupied by Poles if the Soviets decide that's in their best interests. This would dramatically change the National and Occupied territories of Eastern Europe. 3A, but the magnitude would depend on who else was around to mitigate these actions.
--"Indoctrination" of military personnel. In Poland, 1940, the Soviets attempted to indoctrinate the Poles and force them to serve in the Soviet Ranks. In RL, the Soviets got some of the Balkan Countries to switch sides into the Commintern. Couldn't this be extended to Germany and anywhere else the Red Army has triumphed? 3A
--More Member States to the USSR. While Eastern Europe was puppeted by the Soviets, this was mostly as a sop to the West, which wanted free nations in Eastern Europe. Shouldn't the Soviets have the ability to ignore those concerns and create things like a Romanian SSR, Poland SSR, etc, and gain national territories in Eastern Europe? 3A
--Removal of the Commisar system. After the Red Army won a war against the Wehrmacht, Stalin removed the commisar system from the Red Army, this would increase the fighting quality of the Red Army (at least negate the penalty, if any, they have from political control over army)3A
--Dealing with Traitors. Many Soviet soldiers defected to the Germans in the early years of the Great Patriotic War. There should a choice for mercy or vengance for the Russians.
--Soviets grab German weapon designs (Like the V2 Rocket, and more). 3A.
--Miscellanous Victory Events. 3A.
Allies Events
--Create democracies all over the world after the war(s) are over. 3A
--Marshall Plan in Europe (+ICs for money) 3A, if Western Europe is democratic.
--Create a single, unifed puppet Germany.3A
--Build the United Nations. 3A
--Guns to Butter Drive. If the Allies are the Only alliance left standing, they should go immediately drop back into dove lobby and peacetime IC penalties.1A
--Postwar Economic Boom. This is historical, the postwar years had some of the strongest, most prolonged economic growth in recent history. The Allies should be gaining ICs at a rate of 5% a year (Show some serious economic growth). I don't know how much HOI2 Factors in the Depression in their game, but the emergence from the depression into the long economic boom should provide, at a minimum, a considerable IC boost.3A
--Kennan's Containment doctrine. 3A--the USA will aggressively oppose Red expansion. There would be a similar idea against the Axis powers if they somehow survived as well.
--Collaborators Fired--Many collaborators would be sacked for good, among them Leopold III of Belgium and Petain and Darlan of Vichy. 3A
--UK decides to dismantle the empire.2A
--Three-power (Or Two-Power) Agreement at the end of the wars, creating a sphere of influence for the allies, much like the others have.
--Eastern Europe/Germany Chooses the Allies--If the Allies have done better than the Soviets in the War, nations like Poland would easily side with the Allies over the Soviets.2A
--Help the Nationalists in China?-2A.
I have much more to talk about, but you knew that already,
