Just came across Operation Downfall, and was pondering. What might be the political situation that would warrant the plan coming to fruition? What projects would be pursued and put into production, and what wouldn't? Who would win the war?Perhaps the 3rd world war would be caused by a breakdown of relation with the East over the Berlin Airlift? Stalin sees it as the West undermining his stake in Berlin, and so mobilises troops to put a halt to the operation? Perhaps in a "checkpoint Charlie" scenario?Would communist sponsored revolutions in imperial countries become more common? A USSR sponsored Malayan Emergency would be disastrous for the British Empire, and it is likely that Britain would have to call for US support?
