A hypothetical Axis victory in World War II is a common concept of alternate history. World War II is one of the two most popular points of divergence for the English language alternative history fiction genre (the other being the American Civil War). Such writings express ideas of what the world would be like had the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan won World War II.〔 ==Historical source material== A large selection of written material from a variety of powerful and influential military and political leaders of the Axis Powers has been published since the end of the Second World War, which offers a detailed if occasionally contradictory overview of what the world would have looked like if the Axis Powers had been ultimately victorious. This material can be broken into individual summaries, detailing the potential fate of each contemporary nation state that found itself (or which might have found itself) embroiled in what became the world's most far-reaching and lethal conflict to date, or its potential aftermath. ;Finland In a conversation held in 1941 with the Finnish Foreign Minister, Hitler proposed that the new Finnish border should run from the Kola peninsula to the Svir, and to the River Neva. ;India Japan's long-term ambitions in India are a source of contention amongst military historians: some see the support given to Subash Chandra Bose's Azad Hind movement as a cynical ploy to replace Great Britain's dominion over India with their own, whereas others contend that Japan's purported Co-Prosperity Sphere was ultimately a genuine effort to expel European influence from Asia generally, and would have involved at least a measure of self-determination for each collaborating belligerent nation following the Axis's successful conclusion of hostilities. ;Netherlands Nazi plans for the Netherlands evolved as the war progressed; some form of local autonomy was originally proposed as Hitler thought very highly of the Dutch people, who he considered to be fellow members of the Aryan "master race", and - more pragmatically - as a means of protecting Dutch overseas possessions. With the conquest of the Netherlands East Indies by Japan in early 1942 however, the long-term aim of the Nazis became focused on the incorporation of the Netherlands directly into the 'Greater Germanic Reich'. ;Switzerland Despite earlier assurances that Nazi Germany intended to honour Switzerland's neutrality, at the zenith of his power in 1942 Hitler made clear to Mussolini his intention to ultimately dispose of that country's independence and partition it between them along its linguistic borders. What would have been the fate of Switzerland's French-speaking population is less clear. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hypothetical Axis victory in World War II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
