The literary tone of alternative history fiction presents the military victory of the Axis Powers as a melancholy background, against which the reader sees the unfolding of political plots in a socially strained atmosphere of foreign occupation and socio-economic domination. In the essay вЂњWhy are We Attracted to Nightmares of Nazi Victory? WasnвЂ™t the Actual Nazi History Bad Enough?вЂќ, Helen White stated that a hypothetical world in which Nazi Germany won the Second World War is a harsher and grimmer place to live than the real world in which Nazi Germany and the Axis Powers lost the War in 1945. The term Pax Germanica was applied to the hypothetical Imperial German victory in the First World War (1914вЂ“1918), which usage derives from the term Peace of Westphalia used in the Latin-language documents that formally ended the Thirty Years' War (1618вЂ“1648). The literature uses the Latin term Pax Germanica (German Peace) to describe such fictional postвЂ“War outcomes. The novels present stories of how ordinary citizens, men and women, cope with the daily humiliations of fascist military occupation and with the resentments of being a people under colonial domination. The stories deal with the politics, culture, and personalities who allowed the Fascist victories against democracy, and with the psychology of quotidian life in totalitarian societies.

The post-war world created by the victories of the Axis Powers in the novel The Man in the High Castle (1962), by Philip K.
