Here's a concept map that I did which postulates an Axis victory in the Second World War. It's rather rough looking right now, but feedback would be greatly appreciated.
BACKGROUND:
The Wehrmacht has triumphed at Stalingrad; the Greater German Reich has expanded all across the former Soviet Union and rules everything directly west of the Urals. The eastern Siberian portions of the USSR have fallen to Japan. The Soviet state is no more.
Italy, with the assistance of the brilliant Field Marshal Erich Von Manstein, has succeeding in capturing the Suez Canal and advancing into the Middle East up through Palestine. Cut off from her empire, the United Kingdom swiftly loses her southeast Asian colonies to Japan. Germany's U-boats have starved the British Empire into submission; the cost of defeat is an embarrassing peace treaty which awards parts of Africa to the Third Reich.
Italy rules the Mediterranean from Cyprus to Malta and Libya, effectively recreating a new Roman Empire.
Japan has triumphed at Midway, forcing the United States to agree to a stalemate. No longer distracted by the United States, Japan goes onto complete the conquest of China, with Siberia and India joining the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.
The United States has retreated into isolationism one again, with successive presidents seeking to maintain the equilibrium between the Axis and the remaining Allied states of Britain and free France.
The year is now 1960. The upcoming U.S. presidential elections will either end in the public choosing another isolationist Republican president or a Democratic president committed to pursuing a more internationalist stance in opposition to Axis encroachments in the Atlantic as in the Pacific. The fate of Europe, and the world, hinges on the U.S.'s ultimate decision.
Now, what side will you take?
