No
Yes. there would have been no second front and therefore the Axis could have concentrated all of their fighting forces against the Soviet Union. In addition to this, there would have been no Lend Lease. This would have led to Stalin having to divert much needed resources into producing things like uniforms, boots, food, etc. All of these items were mostly supplied by US & UK thru Lend Lease.
The Iraq situation would also have been unresolved. Instead of a joint Anglo-Soviet force occupying Iraq, it would possibly have been an English or Anglo-German force. This would also have opened the possibilty of the Iraqi oil fields supplying the Axis.
And last but not least, Turkey would more than likely have joined in, thereby expanding the area that Stalin had to defend. With the Turks active, there was always the chance that they could inspire revolts and uprisings in the Trans-Caucaus region.
So yes, this would have drastically changed the outcome of WWII

∙ 12y agoGermany actually signed a non-aggression pact with the USSR. This meant that they would not attack each other, and would have allowed the two to focus on other fronts. However, Mr. Hitler was suspicious of Soviet activities and believed them to be preparing for a violation of the pact (possibly in the belief they had betrayed Germany to the Allies). Thus, he pre-emptively invaded Russia.
Had he not done so, he would have been secure on two sides and only fighting on two more; instead, he now had forces and supplies stretching all the way across Europe, and coordination and providing support became increasingly difficult. Indeed, having that pact probably would have been enough to win the war in Europe, given the strength of Germany at the time and assuming they had also not declared war on the USA after that nation's declaration on Japan following pearl Harbour.
Whether Germany could or would have won, given a change to several minor decisions that had major effects, is always a good "what-if" in history. We won't ever know, but it seems likely he might have pulled it off, were it not for those two declaration on the USSR and the USA.
I do not believe so actually, America would have eventually defeated Hitler anyway.

Well i don't know about that. USSR showed some major a** beating to the Germans and i know they made the treaty but hte question is if Hitler made a pact with Russia so she would fight along side with the Germans.

∙ 10y agoSimply speaking it would be no because at any point, the USSR would of invade Germany if they didn't invade the USSR.
However, the only way Hitler could of won WW2 with the numbers of man and machine he had would be to conquer britain before invading the USSR, then Germany wouldn't have to split it forces into 2 major fronts. Also, if this did happen, the US would struggle to fight against the Germans as by the time of the US got involed with the europe in WW2, the USSR would have nearly been broken and it would of been easy picking for Hitler to destroy the US.

What would have happened to Poland if Britain had not gone to war over them?
What happened to Poland was not affected in the least bit by the British declaring war over the German invasion of Poland. Britain was too far away to help the Poles in any way whatsoever. Germany was between Poland and Britain. So what happened to Poland would have happened if the British had not declared war. The Russians invaded Poland from the east two weeks after Germany invaded Poland from the west. Hitler and Stalin were still partners at that point, and had agreed to split Poland down the middle between them. Nobody declared war on Russia over that. I suppose having to deal with Germany first gave Britain and France all they could try to handle. Two years later Hitler obliged by turning on his partner and attacking the Soviet Union, making an "ally" of the Russians in the fight against Germany.
