Well for starters for the about 2 million (by my rough calculations) more Jews that survived compared to OTL. Then all those Slavs who weren't murdered by the Nazi Occipiers. China had much less of it occupied by the Japanse and despite the post-war famine looks like it'll avoid Mao's Great Leap Of The Cliff.How?
Even the comments on this TL make me laughWell for starters for the about 2 million (by my rough calculations) more Jews that survived compared to OTL.

As long as the 1st amendment holds, Civil Rights will come about in the US sooner or later. Tens of millions of lives in exchange for a later than OTL sounds not exactly dystopic to me.
Also USA still has colonies or dependencies Puerto Rico and the Philippines. Wonder what the Chinese anti colonialist think of that.
Would the Philippines remain closer to the US with no Japanese occupation and puppet government interrupting their path to independence? Or perhaps more distant because the US never liberated them so memories of the Philippine-American war are more fresh?If it's like OTL, the Filipinos had autonomy in the 30s and independence in 1946, though.
So the Japanese get their own Vietnam War, eh? I can dig that.Dutch east indies becomes a resource sink for the Japanese, Japanese are forced to spend a lot of money to try to pacify the place and maintain naval patrols in teh Celebes sea which becomes a hot spot. as the IJN tries to halt gun and guerilla supply line from the PH to the Dutch east Indies. The Japanese will problby fight an expensive guerilla war in the Dutch east indies which impact the already poor japanese economy which is helped by trade with the pro Colohnial axis esp. the british.
To make things more interesting can we get the Empire of Japan having nukes down the line as well (as well as surviving past the 1950s)?

Agreed. Though missiles with biochemical warheads is absolutely terrifying.I think theyll probably get nukes and missle tech, however in the meantime, I think they got chemicals and bio weapons to tip their missles. but a nuke program costs a lot of money and the Japanese economy is depressed due to the war. and probably the upcoming pacification of the Dutch East Indies. Not surprsied the British and Germans later help the Japanese acquire nukes.
Yep, I wonder if an anti-war movement starts up in Japan as a result?Yep. however expect the Japanese to react to the guerillas with bio and chemical weapons and nanjing scale massacres on the local population. Expect massive worldwide condemnation and blowback .

Interesting.I think there is already an anti war movement starting, with millions of disgruntled japanese soldiers coming back to a depressed japan , high unemployment. chaotic government. etc.
