An alternate history where the A-Bomb wasn't dropped and we had to go through with Operation Downfall. It could either take a stance where the Allied forces were successful or were horribly defeated and we accepted a conditional surrender by the Japanese. History would be completely changed. I remember a short story that does something like that, set in 195_. The invasion did not occur, the country was bombed into rubble by conventional means. Eventually there are no more targets. American parents of dead soldiers pay to ride in a bomber and drop their own commemorative bombs.
