• What if Henry Wallace remained VP after 1944? It probably wouldn’t have changed all that much, but I’d still be curious to find out what would’ve happened

      The US would probably haved become a lot less agressive on the cold war and would have respected communist countries more. Roosevelt was probably one of the less worse american presidents, if he was some years younger at the time a lot of things could have changed for better.

      • I’m wondering how much power Wallace would’ve really had. While he, personally, was originally in favour of coexistence with socialist states, I think it’s likely that other parts of the US state apparatus would’ve pushed for aggressive anti-communism.
