For the end, I would have the Russkies get their A-bomb a year and so earlier (with help of captured Nazi scientists), publicly test one, and a negotiated peace results, and everyone goes home to fight their historical proxy wars.
It seems that the A-bomb historically changed warfare by making large wars with those armed with nuclear arms obsolete...ie. there was no war between the US and USSR (two major warring powers and they never went to war against one another (only proxy wars). If my history is right (and it may not be) this was the first time in history that two huge competing, opposite ideology enemy powers never went to war with eachother. The Soviets detonated their real A-bomb in August of 1949
