    In this scenario the full Japanese fleet was deployed at Midway thus the victory which left Hawaii wide open.
    This is before we mention the German and Italian U-Boat threat to American shipping.

    Britain doesn’t need convoys, as it isn’t at war.
    Japan and Italy both wont challenge Britain white she is not engaged elsewhere.
    Mussolini had 18 years to take on Britain before he eventually did and that was only after we where fighting the Germans same with the Japanese.

    These theories have both been explored before be Britain’s top historian AJP Taylor who agrees Britain gained nothing but last a lot from the war and John Charmley and Alan Clarke said much the same.
    John Charmley has all so written several very interesting counter factuals on British neutrality that go up to about 1942.
    Im trying to take it a bit further here based on what each country and its leaders are likely to do next.

    Myself, Lord Halifax and Britains top historians must all be wrong then cos a few people in an internet forum said so.

    Ya THINK?? lol. And I thought some of the other "What Ifs" were not close to being in the realm of being realistic.

    Perhaps you would be kind enough to provide some sources or names of these "Britains top historians", as to better educate little old us on the matter?

    C'mon guys. This is getting old. We're getting new folks here and we don't need to look like bickering old sods. I think it is time to close out this thread.
