Rays of the Rising Sun

Rays of the Rising Sun is a scenario in which the Empire of Japan and it's collaborators are successful in the Second Sino-Japanese War, winning in 1945. Japan also defeats the US and other enemies, though the Germans still lose in Europe.

Points of divergence

 * The Chinese collaborationist forces are used better by the Japanese and are given more freedoms, making them appear better than the communists and nationalists. They play a big role in the Japanese victory.
 * Yamamoto's decisive battle at Midway leaves the US Pacific Fleet crippled, forcing the US to the negotiations table.
