    Oh look a video about World War II. So what if the Soviet Union wasn't invaded during the war? How would this have changed everything?

    Big point of correction: Hitler wanted to invade the USSR ever since he thought up that the true destiny of Germany lay in the East.
    The war he fought against the Western Allies was just to settle the score from World War I and the humiliating Versailles peace treaty that followed it.
    Also, he probably wanted to neutralize the Western Allies so he wouldn't have to fight a two front war.
    In the west, apart from neutralizing France and Great Britain, there wasn't much to get while in the East were the riches and resources of the Soviet Union: oil, coal, grain, space for German colonies, etc. etc.
    In Hitler's grand vision, he would dominate the European mainland with a Greater Germany or Third German Empire stretching all the way to Moscow.
    Britain would not be able to interfere on the continent, even if he had allowed them their independence by not invading (even though he never could invade because Britain was an island nation and the British fleet still ruled the waves.

      Correction : He didn't fight the Western war to settle the score from the first war, in fact he didn't want a war with the west at all. Germany pushed east into poland as planned in generalplan öst, but then France & Britain declared war.
      Had France & Britain NOT declared war, Hitler would have been elated, and he would not invade France to settle some old score. It would be status quo antibellum in the west.
      His vision was always eastward (it's been the Germanic mindset for 1000 years at least), but France and Britain interrupted that. Maybe Hitler should have taken an eastward first policy, and just set up passive defenses on the Rhine, since France was unwilling to invade Germany. Germany could have focused 99% of their resources east, unimpeded, while the British drop leaflets and France sits in the Maginot line camping.

      Kali, (Im not trying to defend either one first of all but this is my opinión) 1. Even though the right wing is gainning popularity, marxism and other socialist ideologies still have a greater grip, probably CZcams just wants to avoid unnecesary arguments and problems relating to leftist angerment. Also, I just think that there are some big problems with blaming those millions of deaths to communism. Millions of innocent people died at the hands of communist leaders purges, tortures, lynches, etc. around the world. Millions more died from starvation at communist countries around the world. You blame all these deaths to the ideology of communism, now, following that logic, I could say that even more had died at the hands of capitalism. None of us can have an idea of just how many millions of innocents have died due to political reasons, to capitalist governments And, If we take in count how many have died due to starvation around the world in capitalist nations, we would have pretty much a billion deaths or so, and still increasing every day because of places like Latin America or Africa. None blame those deaths to the ideology of capitalism so why do we blame those other deaths to communism? Sorry I have such a bad english.

Also the Japanese army is pretty primitive compared to the Soviets, a T-34 was superior to any Japanese tanks, the Japanese had few tanks, and the few they had were inferior. Plus Japan was already stuck in a stalemate with China.
      As for the Soviets invading Germany, its possible, it depends if the Soviets have time to restore their officer ranks. They failed vs Finland because all their good officers had been purged.

      The army and party were purged because there was a legitimate threat of a nazi coup, the Marshal of the Red Army Mikhail Tukhachevsky was a literal nazi sympathizer. The reason the purges caused so much chaos was because Nikolai Yezhov, the NKVD chief (who was not supervised by an government official) used the situation to cause internal trouble within the party and make the people angry with the Soviet government, that is why he was later executed.

      Essence of Order The Kantokuen plan to invade Siberia AFTER Barbarossa happened suggests otherwise. Notably it was cancelled a week before launch in July; not long after the USA started the embargo agaisnt Japan. It's a thousand times more likely that American led sanctions that depleted Japans oil reserves made any quests into the USSR a doomed plan anyway. No oil means no fuel which, means no aircraft, tanks and trucks -- a total collapse basically.
      Again, more armchair generals suffering from hindsight delusions completely ignore economic factors and how it alters grand strategy. Siberia seriously had no infrastructure or known resources (in 1941) that would benefit Japan at all; The only purpose was to drive Soviet influence away from Manchuria, but if you can't even maintain logistics in theory it's easy to see why they quickly pivoted south to capture more resources.

    The problem with the British Prime Minister scenario is this: if the Soviet Union wasn't invaded, the Nazis were still going to attack Western Europe, and Chamberlain's position would've become untenable. Any scenario envisioning his non-resignation in such circumstances is totally unrealistic, since Chamberlain, as the video itself points out, did indeed stake his political career on "peace in our time." Therefore, he would've had no choice but to resign or he would've been forced out, period.

    If they didnt invade the soviet union they would have simply run out of oil and lost to the western allies. Throughout the war germany was using more oil than it was producing this is why they relied on horses often and even went through the enormously inefficient and expensive process of producing synthetic oil from coal. Germany's goal was to capture the oil field in southern russia. He did not "cause his days to be numbered" by russia as you said as they would have been doomed either way.

    Cody, I think this video was pretty good, but it was too basic for me tbh. I kinda want a video with an actual scenario.
    If Britain we’re going to surrender in 1940, it would be under the leadership of Lord Halifax. Halifax was initially the first pick by Chamberlain, but Chamberlain picked Churchill instead. Halifax supported to have a peace deal after the fall of France.
    If Britain did surrender, Western Europe (Low Countries and France) would have been autonomous but under German Influence. Poland wouldn’t exist, and Italy would’ve gotten barely anything from the war.
    In fact, what happens to Italy, do they continues to war against Britain and lose, or invade Greece and lose. That would be interesting.
    The Soviets were actually preparing to strike the Germans in ‘42, but Germany beat them to the punch. If Germany was fighting a defensive war, I think the former Allied powers (France and Britain) would prefer to support the Germans over the Soviets. Hell, I’d think they wouldn’t even support any side.
    USA and Japan would still go to war, and I think Germany would not even declare war, as they couldn’t attack the US and the US couldn’t attack the Germans. The war with Japan would end the same way most likely, with Japan unconditional surrendering to the US. There would be no division of the Korean Peninsula and China would be under mostly Nationalist Control, as the Soviets would most likely not intervene by invading Manchuria.
    I think Germany would have a better chance of winning, as they have access to oil from the Middle East, so they would be better equipped and armed to fight a long term war. I think the war would end with a mild victory for the Germans (Only gaining control of the Baltic States, Belarus, and Ukraine) as Germany doesn’t have the men it recourses to take all of Russia.

      The Mann Italy would have gotten the part of France they claimed, probably some parts of the African coast too considering Hitler's previous generosity and would definitely have been able to take out Greece on their own after the fall of Britain since they could focus their forces on just one target.

    • @thefirstprimariscatosicari6870
      @thefirstprimariscatosicari6870 Před 5 lety +11

      The Mann Regarding Italy Mussolini also expected Britain to call for peace after the fall of France, and Italy would probably take all English-controlled land facing the Mediterranean, since Mussolini wanted to realize Mare Nostrum.
      Also in this timeline we could probably see another Balkan war between the neutral countries (basically Yugoslavia and Greece) and the fascist ones (Italy, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria).
      Since the UK just exited a war and both of the neutral nations were still authoritarian they would not help them and without the African front Italy will not use only 5 division against over 20 to invade Greece.
      So we would see almost all of Europe under Axis control except for Portugal and Turkey, with the Axis powers also controlling most of North and West Africa, most of the Middle East, Indocina and Indonesia.

      The Mann look at the army numbers. USSR being prepared in the great patriotic war? Germans would be even worse off. Cody didnt said this but the german doctrine was offensive not defensive. German tanks were harded and took longer to produce then soviet t34s/kv1s. German equipment was all in all good but heavy on industry. Again speculations and what not but i dont think Stalin would have not stop even at over 10 million of his army killed in the offensive.

      No, we'd still have it...it just wouldn't be as popular due to how relatively recent WWII is.
      Napoleon made that mistake back in 1812, and the Russians did the same thing then that they did in WWII: Scorched Earth policy. Constant retreat, fighting all the time, and leaving zero resources behind in your wake, eating/killing/burning anything that can be used by the enemy. This forced enemy supply lines to stretch to their breaking point, making further invasion become nearly impossible as Russian land was so large and vast, getting deeper into it without properly established supply routes became suicide. Then winter hit and...well, you know the rest.
      The Swedes used to have an empire (shocking, I know), and they tried something similar earlier on in 1708. Same tactics, same result, same crippling depression.
      We should be less looking at how "impressive" the Russians are at resisting invasion, and looking more at how retarded the enemy commanders were for conducting this shit in winter, without any winter gear, or winter preparations, and then expecting everything to go fine without it.
      It's like walking into a fire with the expectation that you won't be burned. Just because you believe hard enough does not mean that logic is just suddenly going to fall by the wayside. You still get burned alive, and the Swedes have now been reduced to IKEA salesmen.

Add that to increase anticipation for German aggression and soviet superiority in heavy tanks and artillery already during Barbarossa and you get a semi ROFL stomped Germany and a larger iron curtain. I can only see Germany at most advance up to Odessa-Kiev-Smolensk-Riga line along the Dvina while the Soviets perfect their deep operation tactics.

      if you ban the swastika, you have to ban the red star along with it. here in eastern-central europe that's a somewhat different issue compared to west, and by the looks of it there isn't much censorship over that, and i am 100% sure antifa supporters use youtube. for example google "moscow death brigade", that's a very political antifa-supporting rap/hardcore band. Or if we're at it, we can make an argument for banning islam symbology - which would probably had very strong grounds, but the open borders pc and tolerance crowd would probably would show me anything but tolerance and would try their best to eviscerate me and hang me by my small intestines - if the wahabbists wouldn't find me first. But if we're at it, christianity also had their fair share of killings, anti-christians love to bring up the crusades, heck, we might as well ban the cross too if we're at it. I know i had quite a few logical leaps in here, but I hope you get my issue with this. Let them use the site. Let them speak, learn their arguments, and try to shut them down with logic. It is a lot harder to suppress a movement you don't even know anything about. Also widespread censoring of something will only trigger an interest for that among people.

      Yes the allies would have declared war on the USSR if Hitler agreed to fight with them.
      If they did not nuke japan and saved it for the USSR then Russia would have been forced to surrender although this would look bad on the USA after an entire war of portraying the USSR as close allies.

    Two things play into this. First, It is false to assume that two systems are ever opposite. They are not. They only pose as opposites. In fact, rivals are usually similar; for that is what makes rivalry possible :similarity. Second, old patterns tend to repeat themselves. Somebody who believes that he is able to think outside of the box may do so only one direction, but not the other. So that somebody wins here and loses there. Someone truly thinking outside of the box should not blindly follow local prejudices, no matter how smart he think he is or how strong and centuries long the prejudices are. This is a total and adequate summary of all that in fact happened.

Germany in our timeline invaded the USSR and Japan still didnt join or anything to help the Germans and to gain land. The reason for this is the border skirmishers were the Japanese got completely annihilated in the most known battles of Khalkin Gol and Lake Khasan. Japan got traumatized and thats why they rather attacked the USA than the USSR because of fear of being annihilated again. No way that Japan is going to help a ally at the otherside of the world, fight the feared giant Bear that annihilated their forces and which they have a non-agression pact.

    I normally tend to agree with your scenarios but this one is way off. Churchill was PM in May 1940 - Chamberlain is out of the picture already and France still hasn't yet fallen. You're right that Hitler expected Britain to come to terms after the Battle of France and is perplexed at Churchill's intransigence. But Churchill knows that any attempt to invade Britain would be a massive risk and logistically doubtful, so Britain can sit tight and try and get the US interested in joining in. Hitler can't knock Britain out of the war, but on the other hand Britain can't do a lot to impact German forces on the continent. All Hitler has to do is sit tight and keep the Italians from falling apart in North Africa and the Med. The logical outcome of this is stalemate. The British are not strong enough to invade the continent (but can cause trouble via support for Resistance units) and the Germans are not strong enough to invade the UK. Without US or Soviet involvement this will settle into a bombing/blockade war with some armies deployed to North Africa to fight a proxy war. In some ways it begins to mirror the Napoleonic War where France controls the continent but Britain controls the seas and has to pick away at the French army in the Iberian peninsula. So Hitler has to weigh up the following questions: 1) how much does he fear a pre-emptive strike by Stalin? 2) how much does he need oil & is it better to try & prise it from the British in the Middle East or from the Russians? 3) can he afford to treat Britain as a non-imminent threat and concentrate on Stalin? In reality he gambles that he can take Russia in 1941 - the air raids over Britain begin to decline early in the year as squadrons are moved east. In your scenario he should have focused on pushing the British out of the Mediterranean (why didn't the Axis powers ever invade Malta for god's sake, it was a massive thorn in their side when trying to re-supply the Afrika Korps). Basically, steal the bulldog's bone and don't hit the bear. Perhaps Stalin would have come for Hitler after 1942 anyway, but whatever way it pans out Britain is still in the fight - and now have an alliance with the US because the Japanese attacked British Malaya at almost exactly the same time it attacked Pearl Harbor. So the other key question is: why the hell did Hitler declare war on the US, thereby automatically bringing them into the European theatre? He really was a twat.

      @A M A Z O The USA's supply and lend lease whilst still neutral certainly helped, but don't forget that in 1940 Britain still had a massive empire & the biggest navy in the world, and was ramping up home food production in a way the Germans never did. Plus, the rapid evolution of convoy tactics & Intel decrypts meant Britain could have stayed in the war even without direct US aid. Would have been grim, though.

    You lost me at "Chamberlain never resigns." That is completely out of the context of the question here. Germany and the USSR agreed to partition Poland and hold their respective lines for 10 years. Poland's independence had been guaranteed by Great Britain after Munich, it was Hitler's disregard of that guarantee that led to the declaration of war by Britain, the stand-by-and-watch attitude of the Sitzkrieg months that undermined Chamberlain,and the fall of Norway and the invasion of France that finally forced him to resign and Churchill to take office. Hitler had yet to conquer France and had yet to even contemplate the Battle of Britain. Whether or not he later (over a year later) invaded the USSR is immaterial to the vents that brought Churchill to power.
    Some of these alt-hist pieces are interesting and well thought out. This is on the other end of the spectrum.

      Yeah, that really came out of nowhere. Granted, it's hard to speculate on these things when there are so many variables in play, but that one should probably stay consistent because, as you say, it doesn't hinge on the assumption of this hypothetical scenario. Beyond that, the "Germany occupies Middle East" thing is also dubious; as far as I know, the proposed ceasefire (the one put forward by Mussolini and considered by more pacifist/pessimist British politicians) didn't involve such large territorial concessions. Hitler actually didn't want a protracted war with Britain at all, and it came as a surprise to him when they didn't negotiate. And that was seriously bad news in the long run because Germany was in no position to threaten an actual invasion. If the Blitz failed to break their will to fight and they lost the Battle of Britain (which is what happened), Germany simply didn't have the naval or air power to stop Britain from continuing to trade and maintain a large colonial empire it could draw resources and manpower from. Honestly, that and open lines of communication and trade with the US were probably reason enough on their own for Britain to hold on regardless of whether or not the USSR and Germany fought. It was of course a relief when Germany ultimately did decide to split their attention, but I think the video places too much emphasis on the idea that Britain would "surrender" if Germany hadn't invaded the USSR, which in any case happened almost a year after Britain had successfully defended themselves in the Battle of Britain.

      @@TheZombifiedGuy If the Luftwaffe had not been re-tasked from it's strategic airwar, to the eastern front, and had a whole year (or two) of nothing but blitz, along with a full german invasion of the middle east, there is no realistic chance that Churchill isn't forced to make peace, or is forced out.

    But Chamberlain resigned before the fall of France and died LONG before Operation Barbarossa, if Germany never invaded the USSR, Britain would still have Churchill at the helm and the policy of no surrender as Churchill came to power over a YEAR before the invasion. How did you even come to a conclusion like this?

      Churchill entered office on the day that Germany begun their invasions of the Benelux, so still more than a month beforehand.

      If Germany won against Britain then it would be MORE likely that they would invade Russia, as Hitler and his generals were all in agreement that the USSR must be brought down, and they wouldn't be fighting a 2 front war.

      Honestly, yeah the scenario is really unlikely and heavily flawed. The only time i see the USSR being an aggressor is if the UK had not surrendered and a operation sealion had taken place in 1942/43, so not likely at all

    I actually think that Chamberlain _would_ resign, and that Churchill would rise to power, just like in our timeline. The British were more than willing to fight on their own for a long time
    Edit: Japan would still get its ass beat in by the US

      If I wasn't wrong it was because of the Norway thing (Narvik Question or sth) that Chamberlain resigned.

      Seize the means of production - Let's hope so - but what if all four carriers were at Pearl that fateful day? And sunk? The Japanese would have ruled the Pacific for a decade.

    • @silverbro13
      @silverbro13 Před 5 lety +4

      4 Carriers wouldn't be the deciding factor in the war, nothing Japan could have done would have stopped their eventual RAPING that was the Pacific War. And let's not even get into the nukes.

    • @neilgriffiths6427
      @neilgriffiths6427 Před 5 lety

      Monster of Analysis - good luck with delivering those nukes when Japan has total control of the pacific - and YES it would have taken nearly a decade for the USA to rebuild her carrier fleet - they don't grow on trees.

    • @silverbro13
      @silverbro13 Před 5 lety +3

      But that's the problem, they couldn't just take control over the entire pacific ocean by bringing down a few carriers. The US Navy would take a severe hit, sure, but they wouldn't just hand over power.
      Your entire premise hinges on the incompetence of America.
