There is no doubt that the us's involvement in the war in Europe was very useful and needed, but to continually propose that if they hadn't come we would all be talking German, or that they gained the war single handedly, is preposterous. The Germans, even earlier than the Yanks came along, were fighting a war on two fronts. The bloodier of those by way of a ways being the Russian entrance. The Russians fought extra battles, contributed extra squaddies and killed extra Germans than the entire different Allies did put together. In addition they had little or no to do with defeating Rommel in Africa. Eventually it is beautiful certain Russia and the joint Commonwealth forces would have beaten Germany. Russia would have made it to Berlin whilst it did, Africa and Italy would have still been taken by using the British and Commonwealth, which was achieved without much American involvement at all anyway, and i'm certain ultimately France would were taken again too. Only hindrance is it could have been a for much longer, more difficult and deadlier fight that would good have crippled the international locations concerned, and Soviet affect would have stretched so much further West after the struggle. It is also valued at mentioning that before the United States entered the struggle, we had already halted the German war computing device's westward march, and successfully repelled the German assaults on our nation and survived the Blitz. I don't think the Germans would have ever taken Britain over, given the other motives such as time and Russia and Italy. I'm now not saying they had nothing to do with the conflict, but they really do over-exaggerate about their role in it. Additionally they became up late for each wars, when there used to be no longer any risk of you shedding, and handiest while you have been dragged in by using American lack of life, rather than feeling the need to defend Europe. As for Japan, i'm not certain. There's no saying that the United States's nukes weren't the identifying component in the pacific entrance, and with out those nukes any battle would have dragged on for years longer. Without the American forces the struggle would have dragged on longer too, however I think the might of China and the British&Commonwealth forces would have received finally. Both dedicated some distance extra guys to the Pacific theatre than the american citizens (China committed several times more guys than even the Russians). In response to the earlier solutions: sure the Germans had been doing Jet study, they even had the sector's first flying Jet aeroplane, however Britain used to be doing unbiased Jet study and had it's own Jet quickly afterwards, even earlier than the U.S. Joined the battle. Unluckily each side Jet planes have been ineffective in the beginning and not utilized in fight until nearing the top of the war. The U.S. Had nothing to do with the Jet aeroplane (no longer, now not 'plane'). And as for the americans bombing Germany, the British bombers flew many extra sorties, dropped extra bombs and did extra harm to Germany than the Flying Fortresses, even aside from the instances before the united states joined. The Lancaster bombers also had a so much extra variety than their American equivalents did. For illustration, who was it who bombed the German dams? That victory was once owed to the British Lancasters.

Victory for Germany would have meant that they had defeated the Soviet Union and were able to occupy everything west of the Volga. German immigrants move into the area to settle and supervise the farms and factories. Unorganized Russian resistance continues, however. from the East requiring a full time German Army presence. With their hands full in Russia, Germany tries to make peace with the UK and USA.

Victory for Japan would mean they had achieved their goal of taking possession of East Asia and the raw materials they so desperately needed for their factories. Indonesian oil was especially important since the US had cut off their supply just before the war. Japan realized that it could never defeat America but hoped to negotiate from a position of strength once it had destroyed our fleet.

If America and the UK made peace with both these Axis nations, we could have existed and probably traded with them, although their abuse of human rights could possibly cause us to go to war with them again eventually.

What If Japan Won Ww2

Europe would have no Jews or non-whites unless they were slaves.



I do not think many of us born after the war would be here.



Japan and German would have split the USA and the Japanese would have banned all nonasians from their half. Unless they were slaves working on farms for them.



In many ways it would suck unless you are white, blonde, blue eyes and can trace to a germanic ancestor. Then maybe not so bad.

It kind of depends on one's perspective. Some nihonjin(Japanese) might consider the world would have been suteki na(nice) or even subarashii(awesome)!! The same goes for certain doitsujin(Germans). From an American perspective, it would have been totemo warui desu(very bad)!

Japan and Germany "winning" is essentially impossible. I'll try to construct the most plausible scenario that retains as much of real history as possible:



Japan manages to contain the Kwantung Army and prevents it from launching its full-scale invasion of China in 1937. Japan remains a highly militarized state and continues to occupy Manchuria and Korea, while also occupying French Indochina in 1940 following the German victory in France. Tensions remain strong between Japan on one hand and the United States, United Kingdom, Dutch East Indies, and China on the other. (This turn of events is highly implausible, but is the only way for Japan to "win" World War II - they simply have to avoid it, because Japan cannot defeat the United States - that is utterly impossible).



A collapse of the Soviet government in September 1941, in the face of the German invasion, destroys the USSR's ability to coordinate resistance to the German occupiers and leads to the fall of both Leningrad and Moscow in November. German troops spend most of the winter consolidating their gains and preparing for a potential Soviet counterattack - however, Soviet attacks are piecemeal and uncoordinated, and accomplish nothing. Germany prepares another offensive for summer 1942, aimed at pushing the remaining organized Soviet forces beyond the Urals and eliminating the pockets of Soviet resistance in the occupied USSR. This offensive is successful, and the Germans have effectively defeated the Soviet Union. However, a medium-intensity war continues off and on, requiring three million German troops to occupy European Russia and causing thousands of casualties to the Germans every year, while over the next decade, a third of the Russian population is killed and another third is sent into slavery in Germany as an expendable labor force.



With "victory" in the Soviet Union, Germany consolidates its control over the continent, putting more resources into air defense and building a strong garrison in France and in Italy. The UK and USA (having declared war on Germany in April 1942) defeat Italy and the Afrika Korps in Northern Africa, and successfully land in Italy, but German troops hold the Allies in a line around Monte Cassino. Casualties on both sides are heavy.



An abortive Anglo-American attack on France while the USSR collapses fails in 1942, with heavy losses - this was a move of desperation, rather than a well-planned invasion, and significant American troops have not yet arrived in theater. A second invasion is planned, but is postponed until 1945. With the stalemate in Italy, the strong German garrison in France, and the lack of air supremacy over France, the Allies once again postpone the invasion until 1946, but with little change, the Allies postpone "indefinately."



A stalemate ensues, with Britain heavily militarized but free and supported by the United States, while a "free" southern Italy is defended along the most heavily-militarized border in the world. The United States and United Kingdom maintain a very large military presence in the Pacific, to deter Japan. Both countries supply the rump USSR through Vladivostok, but they can only provide so much aid. Germany is free to devastate the continent.



This state of affairs can only last so long, though, before Germany decides to escalate matters. This will eventually end in the nuclear devastation of Germany, with perhaps 100 million more dead across Europe to German extermination squads and the eventual Allied invasion before the last bombs fall. The world is significantly poorer as a result of Europe's devastation. War between Japan and the US is still probably unavoidable in the long term, and Japan will lose. The US will also be poorer and unhappier, with a permanent draft and greater militarization, as well as a willingness to use nuclear weapons as a standard part of war (having done so in the final defeat of Germany, alongside the British). European cultural treasures are effectively destroyed - there will not be an Eiffel Tower or Mona Lisa or Brandenberg Gate or possibly even the Colosseum of Rome in 1970.



Fortunately, this scenario is highly implausible. Germany was outclassed during World War II, particular from 1942, when they were at war with the three most powerful countries in the world at once. Japan was always outclassed as well - they never had a chance against the United States.
