The Beatles would have had a different sound.

What if my granddad killed Hitler before your attack?

Does the German high command still attack or call for elections and a referendum on war.

France would've gone through another revolution. Probably end up in the Communist sphere.

Would Russia though? How would the revolution go if WWI was just a few months? The Bolsheviks might lose this setup.

Reading more into the history of Operation Sea Lion ( LINK), quite thankful for the pride and hubris of Luftwaffle that stopped focusing on airbases and started bombing cities. Enough time for the RAF to regroup and stay competitive.

There would not be a Muslim problem in England or Germany.

Others were not so determined. If things began looking bleak his government could have fallen. Germany did not have the military capacity to successfully invade and conquer Britain. But they could have won a political victory if British will had faltered.

Here’s one for you, what if the Allies would have lost WWI?

An early loss for the allies would have been the best case scenario. Some territories change and you don’t have that devestating loss of life that took away generations and doomed the world to a second helping of it.


Also no Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.

Longer term it is Germany that develops the atomic bomb first. No telling what direction things go then. The world would be a lot less dominated by the U.S.

gawd, this is a discussion better suited for alternatehistory.com where there is a stickied area for Sea Lion discussions....

a good what if is the last story in C.S. Forester's book, Gold from Crete

short answer, the Germans had nowhere near enough amphibious shipping for a successful invasion

The usual assumption is the Frogs insisted on extreme punishment for Germany which caused Hitler.

But maybe a CP victory would have led to a Hitler type figure in France or England. Or Stalin would have started WW2, complete with an earlier Doctors Plot.


Only problem with your premise is that had the Central Powers won, especially in 1914, it’s doubtful the Russian Empire would have collapsed as it did. Thus, Stalin would never be, well, Stalin.
