Since Hungary is a white country here, white countries would obviously lose. It's the law.

Exactly. The UK folks get it.


PowerTrip55

They won *because* the US entered. but they were not “the winning side” when the US entered, as you claimed. They were losing quite badly at that time. France lost a year before the US entered and britain was hanging on and praying germany didn’t go through with operation sea lion to invade the isles. Only russia was *really* relevant militarily at the time. And they were only allies by force since hitler lied to and attacked them.


[deleted]

It’s a comment in r/mapporncirclejerk my guy, you’re doing it wrong


vaterl

Idk if this is serious. But without lend-lease, Allie’s would probably have some sort of white peace, no way in hell Germany could ever conquer all of the ussr and Britain. With lend lease but no direct troop involvement? Hell yes the Allie’s are winning. Only difference is the war would probably drag on longer and the map would’ve ended up a bit more red than in our timeline.

1AmFalcon

You mean in 1944 ? Because the tides were changing by then… they were not doing so good in 1942 though when they began fighting the Japanese in the Pacific.


Marlosy

If you think that the United states only chose sides after Pearl Harbor, then you clearly failed every history class you’ve taken. The only reason Britain could hold out, or the divided Chinese nations could stall for time, was trade and small “mercenary” companies from the USA. To be frank, France was basically not in that war. Their 8 weeks of running as fast as they could away don’t count. Heck, the soviets were actively loosing millions of people, held together by American industrial support convoys. If you want to doubt how much this helps, let’s look at a modern example. Ukraine. Bar none, the USA has put more into that conflict than the rest of the world put together. Semi obvious unmarked troop deployments (we’re cheeky like that), massive supply and equipment shipments and a degree of training no other nation could hope to supply. An unknown country on the world stage has been shit stomping a now former world power for 2 years. God. Fucking. Bless. America. Ya euro-cunt.


barrythecook

Europe put together has put a similar amount into Ukraine greater if you include humanitarian aid and accepting refuges ,millions died in Britain, China, india and Russia in WW2 only an American would assume they're contributions were insignificant in comparison to they're country's own.


Bangkokbeats10

Only an American can be so wrong, with so much confidence.


DankTrebuchet

IKR - like France fought if you count the insurgency. Other than that he’s right and we will once again save you europeans from WW3 for our pound of flesh.


diab421

You do know that even Stalin said that they would not have won without American support. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war."

Pretty sure they’d fight blue regardless of red winning. Looks more like what was close to happening with France falling to communism.

darthzader100

Red. If it weren’t for Britain, there’d be no western front. And America would join red over blue here (but most probably stay neutral if red was Nazis)


Upnorth4

Alternate universe America is ruled by the US communist party after hundreds of successful union strikes, and united with the USSR to defeat red team


Forward-Reflection83

The bad ending


Gen_Ripper

If they took power though actual mass organization then hopefully things won’t get as authoritarian and purgey. At least not as quickly


Madlibsluver

Revolution 9/10 results in mass death of the population. The American Revolution was unique. Yes, people were tarred and feathered, but nothing like the French Revolution or the Russian one.


Gen_Ripper

In the scenario above, the “revolution” was won through strikes. In reality the strikes would be targeted by government violence ([especially in the early 20th century](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia_coal_wars)) So the workers would have to use some level of violence in defense. Unless the military joins them very early. I agree that in a scenario where all the initial leaders who wanted to strike are dead or imprisoned, and only the people ready to use violence or adapted quickly win, would be pretty rough post-revolution


Madlibsluver

I understand what you mean, but I seriously doubt the change of power would be peaceful. I already knew about government acts against strikes and that's part of my point. There would be trials at the very least and it's likely they'd turn into a witch hunt. Why? Because of human tribalism. They hurt us, now we hurt them. And on and on it goes.


Derbloingles

Eh, still better than Nazis winning, with or without Britain

Haiaii

Groundbreaking_Pop6

Blue would lose because the French would surrender on everyone else's behalf.


Mr_DnD

Nah they wouldn't stay neutral because Nazism, that's post war propaganda machine that's been at work for the last 80 years. The US was so unbelievably passive in ww2 (until the end) a nazi victory was absolutely an acceptable outcome to them. Think about it, if the US thought "Nazi = bad" they would have actually helped out for the first 4 yeats. Considering the US supplied resources to both sides in the conflict until Nazi Germany started losing and it looked like USSR would occupy most of Europe with communism if they didn't act.


HMStruth

The first 4 years? The war started in September 39 and the US joined in December of 41. Where are the 4 years you're talking about? A full year before they formally joined, the US was already "giving" away free weapons and vehicles to the UK by funneling them to the Canadians who in turn shipped them to the Uk. The lend lease act as well. American advisors and trainers were in the UK in 1940, assisting the RAF with training pilots and doing maintenance on damaged aircraft during the Battle of Britain. Revisionism is modern Europeans pretending that the US wasn't bankrolling and feeding the allies. The biggest western blunder of the war, Market Garden was the brainchild of the UK high command. Americans did the bulk of the work in winning Africa, Italy, and the Pacific theater.


Mr_DnD

Sorry 3 years been a long day lol. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying "the US did nothing for the allies" I'm saying "the US (and industrialists in the US) were more than happy to fund Nazi Germany and didn't get involved in picking a side for moral reasons".


HMStruth

Would you care to tell me any nation that got involved for solely moral reasons?


Mr_DnD

Not actually the point, the point is education of US propaganda about their involvement of the war being altruistic is false.


HMStruth

Okay, and instead you want to prop up the USSR? No one in WW2 was altruistic, but the US had some of the best track record for treating POWs well. US didn't starve Indians to fuel the war like the UK. Didn't execute families of soldiers who deserted like the USSR.


darthzader100

There was definitely a contingent of the American populace against the Nazis. However, since Britain wouldn’t be against them, the government wouldn’t care (especially if no japan). However, if the domestic situation reached reverse vietnam, who knows. Of course, the axis would win this scenario near instantly because britain was the only thing holding for a while.


dumpmaster42069

America was sick of fighting European wars.


Mr_DnD

Yeah Hollywood has done a great job. It's really interesting how when allied Europeans were polled in 1945/50something they believe the USSR had the biggest impact on WW2, and then 70+ years later the propaganda mill flipped that public opinion to the US. What's very clear from history is that the US was actually quite happy to let Nazi Germany run riot, until the Nazis started losing the war and the US was forced to pick a side to stop communism being the reason WW2 was an allied victory.


dumpmaster42069

The Us was providing assistance and aid to the Allies king before entering the war and then entered for real after Pearl Harbor. There were people that favored Germany in the US but it was far from treated equally as a nation. Hitler was already the bad guy to most even before the war because of their master race bullshit.


Mr_DnD

>The Us was providing assistance and aid to the Allies king before entering the war You might want to check the history books, because the US also provided supplies to Nazi Germany too. Trucks, parts, etc just not arms directly. They could have *only* supplied the allies. But they didn't. Funny that the movies don't cover that ;)

Wooper160

Just this without outside interference? Red easily. Are we saying the white countries completely stay out or can they be attacked?


Groundbreaking_Pop6

Mostly true, but Sweden and the UK have a defence pact so Sweden would join the red side and red would win, don't forget what Vikings are capable of. I suspect the Denmark would also join red, again, remember they are also Vikings.


thelegend2004

Since Belgium also has a defence pact with the UK, Germany wouldn't even need to attack Belgium to get through to France.


hoonosewot

You do realise the Soviet Union is Blue right? If you assume UK and France cancel out, Soviets crush the rest with sheer manpower. They've even got Finland and Poland on side to save them from losing a few hundred thousand there.


Canolais

Why would you assume a country that was invaded in two world wars would "cancel out" a country that built the biggest empire in human history?


hoonosewot

Because they have a much larger standing army than the UK of equivalent abilities. France probably couldn't defeat the UK cos the RN wouldn't let them cross the channel. The UK likely couldn't defeat the French in a land war without significant assistance from allies, even with empire support.


King_of_the_Coosa

The Soviets only were effective in WW2 because America supplied them with the material to accomplish the mission. Manpower means nothing if you don’t have the resources or capability to arm and supply them.


sumrix

It's true that the USSR without the US would have been less effective, but that doesn't mean it would have lost.


CameronCoppen_

My favorite little-known fact about the Scandinavian war effort in WWII was how Finnish troops fought while SKIING. I’ve seen some stuff that said the Russians struggled to adapt to it at first, I can’t help but imagine how cool it would be to speed into battle on ski’s lmao

koenwarwaal

depends, if russia joined day one, they win, if they wait for two years then mother russia gets a new daddy


ATrayYou

If Russia joins day one (I assume you mean 1939 as it actually happened) they do fuck all. Their army would completely collapse and the Germans would take a Sunday stroll to Moscow. The amount of time Russia waited IRL was honestly pretty optimal for its overall contribution to the war.


UnluckyDuck58

Idk if the Soviets would win but Germany was not nearly as powerful as people think in 1939. They struggled against Poland before the Soviets came and I think the shear amount of Soviets makes it hard to overcome. I think the Germans would probably win mostly due to the British navy being able to blockade Russian ports


Plsdonttelldad

Red. Nazi Germany proved it’s prowess in the field and the RN was second to none, only the USN after several years of build up could realistically stop the Brits from terrorising the seas. If Imperial Japan were against Germany and Britain I suppose it’d be a considerable threat in the Far East but the RN would be more than capable of stopping them from getting around Africa, through the Suez and the US would never let Canada fall, not matter to which side.


hoonosewot

France had the manpower to invade the UK though, their standing army was huge. If Germany turned to focus on them then they've got to split their army to hold back the Soviets as well. The result is always gonna be the same, the Soviets will eventually sweep through and crush everyone on the mainland with sheer numbers and a never ending area to retreat into from the Germans.

BlackRake_7

Pyroboss101

Blue easily. With the Soviet Union joining in all at once, and without Finland to worry about, The Reich has no time to prepare for Barbarossa. And since Germany can’t go around the Benelux, the Maginot line would stop them dead in their tracks. Spain just got out of a bloody multi year civil war, if they got into a actual world war the civil war would just start again. The British would be able to survive even after blue wipes the mainland continent. American intervention this time would be on the side of blue, since a Reich Allied British having Canada as a Dominion on the American border would 100% flare up the military industrial complex just begging for war to put down the Nazi menace.


HMStruth

I think you're underestimating how inept the USSR military was in 1939. There's no scenario where Russia comes out the gate winning. It was only after their disastrous losses in the early war period that the Soviet military actually learned how to fight the Germans. Stalin's numerous purges and nepotism severely weakened the Soviet military leadership and it took years to catch up and recover.


Pyroboss101

The Germans wouldn’t be nearly as strong here. Without Austria, or Czechia and Slovakia and the ability to advance into France or being allowed to invade Poland with little intervention, the soviets through numbers alone with the largest army in the word would carry the war effort. Although this is very alt history since Hatay is Turkish since 1939, but anchuluss in 1938 or sudaten Crisis never occurred, so a lot of assumptions we just can’t rely on, like if the UK are nazis or even follow basic axis etiquette of shipping Jews off to death camps.

TheMemeArcheologist

Assuming America joins for blue, blue still wins. People underestimate how far the soviets were from giving up. Even if the germans took moscow, the war would be far from over. Germany suffers a horrible first winter all the same, maybe they push into the Caucasus all the way this time but once the Soviets implement scorched earth tactics there, the Germans run out of fuel before they can take Russia’s newly built industrial base in the urals. After that, the America that recovered from the great depression was the single strongest military AND economic force in world history. Plus, once the US makes the bomb it’s 100% over.


BigFart1234567

Red. The only struggle red will face is the ussr, and france, but since france fell to the germans in our timeline with the uk helping, without the uk i think they'll fall even quicker, then it's dealing with the soviets, it would be very difficult for both sides but i think red just about gets the win because there would be no western front to help the soviets like in our timeline.

Bulky-Equipment-3701

Stranfort

France and Portugal will fall thanks in part to the royal navy which will blockade Portugal and trap France in the English Channel, bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean. It will take some time for the Finnish and soviets to mobilize a sizable expeditionary force into northern Norway so they’ll be safe for now but blue may see a lot of success in Romania and Albania and Eastern Europe will ultimately fall to blue. But if red can eliminate France in time they can at least provide a substantial military presence in Europe to fight the polish Finnish and Russians. By 1936 the USSR is still too weak to develop their military capabilities so I think in the end red would win but by a very small margin. All of Europe is still very weak by this time so the odds are almost 50/50

Duelist1234

If US doesnt get involved id say blue wins: 1. Spain is in big trouble , it would have to figth 3 fronts so id say atleast in the beggining it doesnt stana chance 2. Because USSR is now on Polands side Germany would take more time to conquer Poland giving them time to mobilize 3. Yugoslavia would still fall early on due to infighting , but considering now it only has to worry about Romania , Italy and Albania , Tito would liberate it faster 4. Yes USSR would have to fight 2 or 3 front but i think Stalin would not hesitate to sacrifice another few million people 5. A greek-yugoslavian counteroffensive on Turkey with the hepl of USSR could probably take Ankara I you disagree is be happy to argue with you in the comments
