IMHO even if the Nazi's "won" the war in the west, they would eventually have to win a "spoils" war vs. Japan. Their axis agreement wasn't very stable--after all, the Nazi's would still eventually view the Japanese as "non-Aryan" and thus inferior, which would naturally be unacceptable to Imperialist Japan inevitably. IMHO Japan would still become the first country to taste a nuclear strike, but this time, from a V3 rocket with a nuclear payload (i.e. Von Braun wouldn't have gone to America, thus his rockets will be developed under German supervision, and eventually, the Nazi nuclear physicists would've developed the first atomic bomb). As to that war (Germany vs. Japan) it's very hard for me to picture how that would've turned out--at one point, Japan had a mighty navy (Yamato and Musashi were simply awesome, compared to the Bismark and the Tirpitz) and impressive carrier fleet that made the German Kreigsmarine look like kids on a rowboat. But Germany had greater airpower and they had the first jets fighters and bombers. Interesting alternate reality. The US by that time would've either signed a truce with Fortress Europa and continued to exist as a neutral country, or if the Nazi's solidified their hold on the petroleum reserves in North Africa and middle east, and their factories regularly churned out war machines, they would've most likely invaded the US with only some or little effort, considering that most of the American military troops were moved to Europe (this assumes the Allies were defeated in most of the major European battles).

BTW, why would they ban the swastika (i.e. Der FüHRER's case here in iStorya--I believe he was asked to remove his Swastika avatar/icon), yet allow someone to use the SS emblem, an even more sinister symbol of hatred? Double-standards ba ang iStorya? Hmmm

so, if the Nazis won the war, they would have to go to war with Japan separately? it's a sound theory. ('c',)

Yep, logic dictates it. There will be a significant "peacetime" period, yes...but their differing ideologies will eventually come to a point and they will have to settle it by force, because their cultures at the time only understood one culture and method, the culture of violence, and the method of force.

so they're up for global dominion? yes, it seems likely. so their partnership with japan was a ruse?

It was not a ruse--it was a necessity. It's like living with your in-laws--if it's necessary to do, you certainly as hell can't do a damn thing about it, even if you hate them

hahaha. makes sense.

And re "global dominion", I have a few thoughts on this. Just take a look at all the world's ideologies througout history--do you see any single one that actually, deliberately says that its goal is "global dominion"? This is one way to simplify it. A man approaches you and says, "I want to be your housekeeper. If you give me your house, you will live a good life because I will set everything in order. Everything will be proper and straight, and your life will be proper and straight, and you will be happy, in your house." Similarly, all world ideologies are like the man trying to be a housekeeper--they make it appear as if they simply want to tidy up the house--but take a closer look--once he makes a "proper and straight" house, ask yourself, is the house still yours? Or better yet, is your life really still yours?
