Japanese win the Battle of Midway destroying the US carriers and taking the Midway atoll.
No British or French ships where involved at Midway AFAIK. Please tell me how this battle ends up in Japanese victory.

Japanese attack and capture Hawaii.
Japanese ask the Americans for peace terms but they are refused.
Midway was at the extreme edge of Japanese supply lines. How are they getting to Hawaii? After Pearl Harbor I guarantee no Japanese convoy was ever going to get close again.

VichyFrance given Waloonia (Southern Belgium) by Germany.
Flanders merged with Holland to create the Greater Netherlands.
Germans reach the Caspian Sea cutting off the Caucasus region.

Why would Iraq Join the Axis? IIRC wern't they part of the commonwealth? Or at least a puppet. With no France early in the war there is no Vichy government.

They sure can try, but it wouldn't work. The sea's are just to rough


Seems to me that you are a little weak in the Pacific war. while I GREATLY appreciate what the British, Australians, and Kiwi's(and others) did in the Pacific(and Europe, N. Africa, Crete etc.) the US could have held it's own. It would have lengthened the war, but thats it.
