re: What would’ve happened if Britain had surrendered in WWII?

Believe Churchill said after they should not have stopped until they reached Moscow after taking Berlin.

Even if Britain had surrendered I think America still is able to invade Europe either through Italy or much a much more difficult route through Spain. Its an interesting topic . Once we got a strong foothold in the Pacific back and basically destroyed the Japs fleet/aircraft carriers their ability to wage any kind of offensive war was gone.

Was it Patton that said we fought the wrong enemy? Without the western front the Germans could have possibly toppled the soviets before they had a chance to come to full strength. It’s an interesting discussion

yep, instead of ww2 it becomes a war between russia and germany for europe and then the US against japan for the pacific islands.

i think if that came to pass then germany would be spent and not have the resources or will to challenge us, and equally we would have no want or will to argue about a settled war in europe after we beat japan in a very costly pacific war

an even more interesting question is without us, does germany get the A-bomb first? and i think the answer to that is yes.

if we arent in the war, we dont get to steal the rocket and A-bomb technology and the scientist who created it from germany as we did.

and im of the opinion hitler wouldnt give that tech to japan so i dont think we win without invading japan itself.

Ah, the political right's not so secret wet dream rears it's head again on a message board - Nazi Germany defeating the Soviets during WWII.
