Axis Cold War

Charles Lindbergh runs in the election of 1932, defeating Herbert Hoover for the Republican nominee in the Primaries. Lindbergh wins the Presidential election against Franklin D. Roosevelt. Although the economy doesn't improve much, Lindbergh is so popular is fame is to the point of warship- a superstar. Lindbergh goes on to win the Election of 1936. How will this change the future?

==	World War II==

When Germany invades Poland in September, 1939, President Lindbergh pushes for a 22nd amendment making US intervention in foreign conflict illegal unless American soil is attacked. Meanwhile, Lend-Lease and other American support for the Allies never happens. Without American aid, Great Britain falls to German invasion in 1940. A similar scenario occurs in the Soviet Union, and Russia is conquered by 1943. As tensions rise in the Pacific, the United States sells the Philippines to Japan in order to avoid war with the Japanese.

On June 6th, 1944, Hitler launched Operation German Crusade: the invasion of the United States. German and Italian troops landed off the coast of Maine, and attacked American soil. The United States, under Lindbergh's leadership, was not prepared to fight. Three days after the invasion, Japan declared war on the United States and bombs Pearl Harbor. The USA isn't a goner yet- the massive industrial power of the nation slowly kicks into gear. By the 1944-1945 winter, American forces launch a counter-attack near Philadelphia, to keep Nazi armies from reaching Washington DC. Meanwhile, Japan invades California and the West Coast, and the Americans have to fight a war on two fronts.

The Counter-attack bought the Americans some time, but not enough. German forces began a siege of Washington in April, 1945. Meanwhile, the Japanese were advancing extremely rapidly in the West- by May, the reached the Mississippi River and met up with the Germans. In late May, the United States surrendered. Lindbergh committed suicide days before the final surrender. Germany, wanting Europe all for itself, declared war on Italy. Two weeks later, Germany dropped the atomic bomb on Rome and Milan. Italy surrendered, and World War II was over. Japan and Germany- each with huge conquests- where about to embark on a Cold War between each other that would last several decades.
