I disagree, as I said they wouldn't put there own country at risk.
Britain wouldnt be at risk.
An attack on the Dutch East Indies and America would not in itself threaten the British Empire in the East and since we would not be at war with Germany and Italy the full weight of the worlds largest navy the Royal Navy and the RAF could be used to deter any Japanese aggression.
You are missing an important fact here, the Germans and the Japanese are allied as the Axis forces as well as other countries, thus if Britain goes to war with Japan because of the alliance Germany would be forced to declare war on Britain because of the alliance.
Britain isnt at war with Japan in this scenario and even if it was it dosnt mean Germany or Italy would join in.
As Japan and Italy didnt back Germany when they went to war.
The Germans alone would be able to employ atleast 40 more divisions that where used in the occupation of Western Europe for the invasion of the USSR and the Italians could use their entire navy and air force against the USSR not to mention the dozens of divisions that engaged the British in real time.
France would still be under the Vichy government and no threat to Germany.
You never said that france had been conqueroerd by Germany in the original post just an armistce, however the Germans would never shift there entire western army over the eastern front, what about partisans and the threat from britain still being there.
? In real time they signed an armistice with Hitler.
All is the same as in real time except Lord Halifax is Prime Minister instead of Churchill things only change after the surrender of France when Britain all so comes to terms with Germany.
Vichy France will still be created.
Then as I said above Britain would end up in a war wiht japan(axis) thus bringing the British to war with Germany again.
The Axis forces would have hundreds of thousands of extra soldiers, tanks and aircraft.
And you think that the Soviets would just roll over and give there country to the germans, as I have said before they can retreat for a long time back across there country and the germans don't have the man power to cover all the other countries plus the long supply lines to the front and the long front that would be created.
Just where have the Soviets rolled over?
ps. the bold is not me yelling just me showing you where my points seperate you points from mine
