Based of a what-if question that popped into my mind. What if the US never finished the atomic bomb, and ended up fighting on the Japanese Home Islands? What if the Soviets invaded Hokkaido? What would the world be like?

After the Allies defeated the Nazis in 1946, the map of Europe was redrawn, mainly in Soviet occupied Eastern Europe. The eastern border of Poland was pushed back along with its western border.The boundaries of nations were moved based on their role in WWII. Romania managed to keep some of Bessarabia, but lost territory to Hungary and Bulgaria. Czechoslovakia managed to hold onto its pre-1938 borders. Albania was increased in sized, and Yugoslavia gained territory from Romania and Hungary. Germany was divided into Communist East, and Democrat West. Austria was divided the same. During the redrawing of the map, the Western Allies left Alsace-Lorraine to West Germany, a sore-point in Franco-West German relations, though it was returned in 1957. The Karelo-Finnish SSR narrowly avoided being merged into the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in 1956. During the height of the Sino-Soviet Dispute, Mongolia voted to join the Soviet Union in 1963. The Tuvan People's Republic was annexed into the Soviet Union in 1944, becoming the Tuvan Soviet People's Socialist Republic. In 1983, the Soviets created the Karakalpak People's Soviet Socialist Republic, the Ossetian Soviet Socialist Republic, and the Abkhaz Soviet Socialist Republic. The Soviet Union annexed parts of Finland due to its alliance with the Nazis in the war. The Tito-Stalin Split never happened, with Yugoslavia joining the Warsaw Pact in 1957. The liberalization that occurred in the late-80's never happened. After WWII ended, Greece and Turkey were engulfed in civil war against communism. In Turkey, the communist forces were defeated in 1949 with the help of US aid, but in Greece, the communist took control of the mainland and most of the islands in the Aegean Sea in 1949. The newly formed UN prevented the communist from invading Crete, now the last bastion of the former Greek state. The UN eventually chose to accept both the Hellenic People's Republic (commonly called Greece) and the Hellenic Republic (commonly called the Cretan State, or just Crete) to the UN in 1972. In 1997, due to the liberalization in the Eastern Block, a mass protest griped Greece as millions wanted a democratic government. After weeks the communist government resigned and allowed for free elections. The new government voted to be rejoined with Crete that same year, and Greece was the first of the Three Divided States to be reunited.
