[QUOTE="Aaron2, post: 1804423, member: 1436"] In my Alt Hist, German launches a semi-successful Sea Lion and, although the Brits would have beaten them back eventually, the Parliment panics, boots Churchill and makes Lord Halifax PM. He proceeds to negotiate a peace between England and Germany. So England is out of the war but relatively intact. Much of the RAF and RN was lost in the battle over the straits. As a guarantee of peace, the Germans "lease" a large area of land near Hastings to base the 3rd panzer. The war in North Africa doesn't really happen. Hitler refuse to offer his support and the Italians are afraid to fight the British by themselves. Large number of british soldiers emmigrate to South Africa or Canada to stay in the fight. I'm not sure what to do about Japan. Option A: With a safe backyard and Rommel leading the 1rst Panzer Army into Russian, Germany does a little better in Barbarrossa. Plus, Russia is without Zukov who died at Nomanhan (which almost happened IRL). Japan decides to attack Russia from behind and leaves SE Asia alone. The pacific war become more of a cold war with America supporting the Chinese to a much greater extent. Option B: Without the successful carrier attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto as an example, Yamamoto is not convinced a aircraft-only attack on Pearl Harbor will be effective. Thus the Japanese instead use a large fleet of carrier and battleships to pound Pearl for hours. The US carriers who avoided the initial strike rush back to fight the IJN and are destroyed in the worlds first carrier v. carrier duel. The pacific fleet is no more and the US begins its island hopping campaign starting with the islands of Hawaii. Aaron [/QUOTE]
