Japan wining ww2 is like that 1 universe out of 14 million in Infinity War

Ik yall gonna disagree but tbh i very rarely see britain get enough credit for its role in ww2

Edit: holy heck apparently people don't disagree, thanks for 1k likes
Also just to add by britain I was trying to say the whole empire including colonies.

İf Britain had made peace with Germany and accepted the new status in continental Europe, there is no any realistic chance that Soviet Union would be victorious. Because it would not be only Germans that would invade Soviet Union and even so without the need to defend Western Europe, Germany could focus all their resources against Soviets. But, they would be reinforced with whole Europe especially France. German plans was just to annex Alsace Lorraine region from France, not all the French lands that they had occupied during ww2. So there would be a strong German allied French as well, wich would lose some of its colonies in the pacifics but would stay strong in Europe and Africa. Dutch, Belgians, Yugoslavians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Fins, Turks, Spanish, Portugese, Greeks, İtalians etc. With the leadership of Nazi Germany, this force would just crush the Soviet Union to pieces. This is exactly why Churchill didnt negotiated with the Germans at all cost. Because he knew very well that this bloody war would drag US and Soviet Union too at some point so there was no need to accept German dominance and he wasnt wrong.

The soviet's wouldn't have an army of 34 million. They would have most likely maxed out at what they did in our timeline which is around 12.5 million as long as casualties are around the same for them. It would probably be smaller as almost the entire german army could be on the eastern front. It is unclear if the soviet's would actually be able to win against the germans. Most likely they would stalemate out.

Numbers would not win them the war if Germany not fight on two fronts

[EnergyWaverx]

It's nothing about numerical superiority. Germans made mistake while using theşr sources, yeah, but, if Britain makes peace, then their mines and factories will be safe. So, even if they uses their sources the worst way possible, they would win.

[AlexFoster-zy]

They didn’t have that much of a numerical superiority. The Soviets won through weight of artillery and lack of industrial loss. Coupled with German overstretched logistics, the Wehrmacht ultimately suffered large scale setbacks. In this alternate timeline the Wehrmacht would likely be able to hold a more consistent frontline, even if they’re pushed back from Moscow.

[adrianwilmot]

In this scenario, there is no chance in Hell that the Soviets would survive. The Russians nearly lost against the Germans in OTL even though the Germans were still fighting against the Allies. In this scenario, the Russians would face the full might of the Wehrmacht, and the Germans would win.

Can you do how countries reacted to the fall of France? 🇫🇷

[rerton]

Without allies help directly to soviets, they would lose. (I caused a biggest debate ever)

[fukiduki]

I'll be honest, I don't think the Russians could have pulled it off. They had higher numbers sure but that was always the case and Germany still made incredible pushes against them. If they got far enough, they might have surrendered

[johnirvine]

What makes you think the US would have still supported the Soviets.

[andym]

Forgetting that Germany would probably have had nuclear arms quite quickly

[hendrakurniawan]

without sea blockade, german will get all resources they need, soviet would not get support from northen sea, their factories will be save

[VMeder]

The whole reason they invaded the ussr is the oil of the caucasus and the food of ukraine, if they actually got those parts of the ussr they would most probably win since they higher quality tanks. Also if this hypotisys happened the ussr would be the one who had no oil to support their army. The reason germany went to war was oil and them not having been able to get the oil was the reason the lost

Using the rise of nation template is just funny as a professional RON player I could say ur my best trustworthy history channel

[danmiller]

I think the thing to consider is who would get access to nukes first. The British played a crucial role in the manhatan project. So without their involment it would have been significantly delayed at best. Germany was working to get nukes and without the fight on two fronts they may have got there first. This would have given them a significant upper hand over the Soviets and the US.

thank god we had winston. my guy came in clutch.

'Britain leaving the war....'
Northern Ireland: 😐

[GynoGamer]

No battle of britain means no nerfed german airforce and no nerfed airforce means an even deadlier barbarosa (plus battle of africa wouldnt happen)
