It is all Mr. Churchill’s fault the War in Europe lasted so long and that so many more people died and so much destroyed if he hadn’t been so intransigent. There is no argument that Mr. Churchill was nearly alone, when Britain’s entire land army was trapped on the beaches at Dunkirk, in his desire to pursue total war against Hitler. Almost everyone in England wanted to avoid war at all costs. That being said, IF Mr. Churchill had signed a peace treaty with Mr. Hitler in 1940, isolationist America would not have involved itself in what Hitler was doing in European as intervention into European affairs was never popular with Americans, anyway. Had Mr. Churchill made peace with Mr. Hitler, then Mr. Hitler could have focused all his military resources to defeat Mr. Stalin’s weakened army and Communism. Without US Lend/Lease and convoys from England, the Communist would surely have lost the Soviet Union to Mr. Hitler. The Third Reich would then have access to more natural resources and industrial capacity than the US had at the time and the Third Reich would stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With no more enemies to fight, Mr. Hitler could have used those resources and industry to build the Third Reich into the world’s first superpower that, most likely, would be the dominant power in the world today. Germany would be the undisputed leader in rocketry since neither the US nor the Soviet Union would be stealing its scientists. Germany would have likely developed nuclear weapons by that time. The isolationist US would have confined itself to their Japan war and even though they had the ‘Bomb’ in 1945, were very unlikely to challenge a superpower like the Third Reich. There would be no United Nations. Germany was in an expansionist mood and had experience with colonialization already so there’s no reason to think Germany wouldn’t want to colonize all of Africa and the Middle East too. I could go on but I made my point that the world would be much more ‘neat and tidy’ if the Third Reich was the only super power in the world today but it’s all Mr. Churchill’s fault because he didn’t capitulate.

I agree. Stalin’s Army was in no way ready to fight after his purges of their leadership. Stalin was raking in big bucks selling the Germans raw materials so he wouldn’t want to jeopardize that trade.
