I was just contemplating something similar, I posed a question about who you'd like to reincarnate and why and someone answered by saying Hitler but to Jewish parents, history would have been so different I think.

Germany waffles through one political and economic crisis after another before splintering into several independant states in the late 30', early 40's. These quickly become puppets of the western powers. The Soviet Union invades Finland in 1939 and Poland in 1941 and with no one to stop them quickly conquers these countries.
Japan, without a European Ally decides not to take on the power of the United States, and eventually settleds into a war of attrition with the Chinese. The Nationalist Chinese eventually break the truce with the communist Chinese and betry them to Japan. This prompts a declaration of war by the Soviet Union on Japan (And essentially China as well). Marshall Zhukov and Soviet armor quickly overrun Manchuria.
Meanwhile without the rise of Nationalist Germany America's economic problems cannot be glossed over with Government programs and Roosevelt loses reelection in 1940. The new goverment is decidedly more right wing and moves to counteract the growing Soviet threat through diplomacy.
Spain never fights a civil war, but Italy, suffering under the dictatorship of Mussolini falls into civil war in 1943 and pits nationalist forces against socialists.
After the invasion of Romania in 1944 America finally decides it has had enough and with Britain and France forms an alliance with the remaining European states against the Soviet Union. Bulgaria, Austria, Hungrary, Yugoslavia, Greece, etc.
The allies demand a withdrawal of Soviet troops from Poland, Romania, and Manchuria. The Soviet Union was a border of Communist states to counter "Capitalist Imperialism". American and British Troops Face Soviet troops across the border. (The French are nowhere to be found oddly). The situation only requires a spark.
In 1945, Mussolini is captured and executed and Socialist forces march into rome, declaring a communist state. The French promptly surrender to it. There is talk in intelligence circles of a new type of bomb being developed by the Americans. The British and American forces move to invade Italy. The powder keg has just been ignited.

Jewish people wouldn't be so powerful in America so maybe Israel wouldn't be so messed up.
