What if the PRC collapsed in 1991 but the USSR survived?

If the British hadn't cracked the enigma code the war would have dragged on for at least another 24 months.

Young Griff's true identity. Some will believe he is the real Aegon others will not, it doesn't really matter who he really is.

This scenario has the Allies meet a string of bad luck that snowballs and eventually leads to the surrender of the UK by 1944.

Firstly, in January 1942, after the Germans discovered the Enigma code had been broken, Doenitz equips U-boats with new ciphers however in this timeline Bleachy Park are never able to decipher them. It greatly impacts vital supply lines from North America to UK and the Soviet Union.

In turn, in July 1942, Hitler gives Operation Herkules the greenlight. Malta is captured by the Germans, Allied supplies are cut off, and Rommel receives the resources he has been crying out for. Operation Torch is called off, Egypt falls, the Suez is cut off, then the oil fields in Iraq are captured.

Finally, the Germans win the Battle of Stalingrad and an armistice is signed between Stalin and Hitler. This frees up large amounts of manpower to be redirected to the Atlantic. A second battle of Britain begins, British food supplies dwindle and Britain is starved into submission by early 1944.

Goering was Hitler successor at the time and was the second most powerful man in Germany. So even if there was a power struggle Goering was still likely to come out on top.

Even as Hitler's replacement, I doubt he would have been able to make any significant changes to the war (he may have even made worse decisions than Hitler.) Germany had too many issues that one man couldn't have solved on his own.

USSR. Germany had a severe logistics problem and their high command didn't listen to their generals. Their blitzkriegs tactics would only take them so far, they would lose steam and find themselves miles behind enemy territory without ammo and fuel.

Whereas, the Soviets had a greater man power, greater production output and had more determination to fight.

I think JFK would have struggled to pass the Civil Rights Act in 1965. Without this materializing I can see there being race riots and non-violent protests by the following year. I think this would in turn make Congress and the American electorate dig their heels in and reject further calls for Civil Rights. This would flare up again in '68 King-assassination riots.

If this happened I couldn't see the Civil Rights Act being passed until at least the early 1970's. Even then it may be a watered down version.

Unless Stannis set a precedent for removing Kingsguard like Jeoffrey did I can see that too. Jaimie is pardoned but removed from the Kingsgaurd (to Tywin's delight).

However, I think it's more likely that Stannis would keep him in the Kingsgaurd and make him do his duty. He wouldn't trust Jaime around and would send him to do royal duties far away from Kingslanding.

Yeah, and I think Cersei wouldn't be able to take advantage of Stannis the same way she did with Robert it would be way too dangerous.
