Counterfactual history idea: The USA & Russia allied · 14 June 08

I really enjoy the occasional counterfactual history (aka: alternate history) story. It’s a blending of history and conjecture that really gets my creative wheels spinning. Lots of counterfactual histories focus on the obvious topics: Germany winning WWII, the South winning the American Civil War, etc… They’re often pretty war-focused and negative. I suppose that’s because that’s where the conflict and action is, right?

Well, I just thought of a neat counterfactual history premise that I haven’t seen done yet, and I think it’d be neat. What if the USA and Russia remained close allies after WWI instead of starting the Cold War? They could collaborate on global stability, space exploration, moon landings, and more. I think it would have been a really nice alternate reality to live in.
