World War II Question

[Jason Y]

The Axis needed Japan to start a 2nd front to wear the Allies down.  Nonetheless, it didn't work, and Germany, Japan, and Italy still lost.   However, though, what if Japan had never entered?  How much quicker would the Allies have won?  Would it have made a difference?  Could the Allies still have lost despite the fact?

Probably the same it just probably would have been Germany that got an atom bomb dropped on them instead. Seems to be Hiroshima the reason that they lost the war. Not much else I could say except that the atom bomb was what ended it.

In the alternate scenario, I think the war would have been ended quickly with some full American involvement. Germany would have been crushed before the bomb.    They just didn't have superior forces no matter what it seemed like.  I think the Japanese bogging the Allies down in the east slowed the war considerably.

If Hitler had not attacked Russia, if Japan had not attacked America, and if they did not invent Atom bomb, probably history would have been something different.

Hitler attacked Russia because he didn't want to conquer the west anyway. He wanted the east. He only fought the west because they were a block to the "eastern plans".

As for Japan, they didn't want to attack America, but they couldn't get oil from the US, so they wanted America crippled so they could get the oil in Southeast Asia.

There are reasons why that did not happen. But if those things had never happened we would be living in different world. Actually, Americans loved Hitler until he attacked Austria. Hitler was Time Magazine's Person of the year.

Yeah, that's funny. Indeed, he was seen as turning Germany around and standing up against Communism. However, though, there were always strong critics and it's surprising Time would have honored him.
