Editing Alternate History (section)

=== For example:===
:''"A struggling, embittered artist and war veteran named Adolf Hitler has a chance encounter which leads him to fall in love with and marry the daughter of an Italian chef. Having found personal contentment, Hitler chooses to remain a private citizen for the rest of his life. Without Hitler, the Nazi Party becomes a minor footnote in history and National Socialism does not rise to power during the Antebellum years. Without the ideology of Nazism, Germany remains at peace with its neighbors, and the Holocaust does not occur."''

Does the USSR start WWII decades later by annexing surrounding countries, without the deterrent of nuclear weapons?  Does the Western world actually become peaceful? Could some other form of fascism rise in Germany, one which (for example) has no beef with Judaism and does not kick out prominent nuclear physicists? (Which is extremely possible since the Italian school of fascism with Italo Balbo was not racist but statist) While Hitler's existence and qualities are a very famous and well-trodden alternate history question, it still has a myriad of possibilities.  The answers that authors give to these kinds of questions, for any scenario, can underpin some very interesting settings.
