Description

In November 1940, the Soviet Union send a list of demands to join the Axis powers, seeing how Britain was on its own and how Germany had knocked out France rather easily. The demands of the Soviets were rather light, and I will explore them in detail later in the video, but the Germans when they heard of these demands, never sent a reply, and a little under a year later, Operation Barbarossa was launched. So, what if the Soviet Union joined the Axis in late 1940? How would this redraw the world’s borders and what would happen next?
