Japanese ships would all be at Midway rather than distracted taking on the Royal Navy in the Indian Ocean and East Indies.

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.

The supply situation would have been quite adaquate for a Japanese invasion of Hawaii once the US fleet was destroyed.

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.

In real time Iraq did try and join the Axis in 1941 under Rashid Ali al-Gaylani government they even attacked British forces supported by German air power.
As for France as I stated earlier the Vichy government does exist.

Alaska would be isolated and would prove easy to take and a good propaganda wepon for the Japanese.


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.
