In this alternate history scenario the US is adamant at staying neutral in World war two, and doesn’t want to have anything to do with any warring side.

Japan invading New Zealand? Ha. The New Zealand Army consisting of 4 guys and a Bob Semple tank would resist any assault.

Saving Private Ryan would be a doctor movie because he would have a car accident and has to be saved

...and this is the timeline created by Leonard McCoy when he went back in time, preventing the premature death of the peace activist Edith Keeler. For Star Trek: The Original Series hardcore fans.

New Zealand would never fall, they had the bob simple tank. The best tank of the 20th and 21st century. We’re still decoding the alien hardware that was put into it.

European theater: literally has countries on the brink of collapse

Japan in asia: its free real estate

Anybody who has ever played the game "Risk" knows that the Australians are just waiting for us all to be distracted fighting each other. This is when they will start their move.

this doesnt really take into account how degraded the USSR response to Germany would be, given no lend lease. it assumes the USSR would still be able to produce the same amount of tanks... for example they wouldnt produce the same amount of tanks, those resources would have to go into logistics transport ie trains trucks airplanes etc.
not to mention Germany would be able to devote much more of its strength to the Eastern front, not having to fight in the west as well.

Alternate title: What if the Sleeping Giant hit the "snooze" button?

What if dinosaurs were still alive and aided the axis powers in WW2? 😂

@notegrity 5 years ago

The true winner of this scenario? Japan. The Axis member that would be like "yeah boi! that was the time of my life!"

The war would have been dragged on for another 2-3 years with a possible peace treaty if this scenario played out. Also like half of Britain would have just straight up starved and japan would have conquered the pacific with little opposition.

One thing I read that stuck with me was how difficult it would have been for the Nazi's to exploit the Caucasus oil fields even if they captured them. No existing pipe-lines and direct rail lines would mean investing in a vast infrastructure project just shipping the oil back to Germany as well as needing to build new oil refineries for it. It would have taken years, at least.

What if US stayed neutral during WWII?

Japan: "It's free real estate."

@earlwyss520 5 years ago

I'd suggest that without US Lend Lease, the British wouldn't send anything to the Soviet Union choosing instead to keep their military hardware for their own defenses.

Although it's very entertaining to watch these kind of alternate history what if scenarios, they entail such a huge number of variables mixed with a healthy dose of chaos theory inputs, that it's practically impossible to recreate the potential string of events that would constitute a coherent history events.
This particular alternate history presented by Binkov is as possible as thousands of others any one of us could think of and create in our heads. Just imagine that the nuclear weapon wasn't discovered by the US and the impact that single event, (or better to say the lack of event) would have on a history of the 20th century.

Could you do a continuation of the US joining Germany in WWI? That one was really interesting

@Viguier89 5 years ago

I guess Vichy and Free France role would had been different in that scenario.

@ericlanglois9194 5 years ago

Throughout this video only one question kept popping into my head... "Where is the Axis getting all the oil in this scenario since they were running desperately out of it by end of 1941?"
