What would have happened if the U.S. did not go to world war 2?

Answer 1

America would probley not be affected that much, Germany would have taken most of Europe, but it would have taken a couple of years to take Russia completely, even if the Germans had won, they would have to spend millions, if not billions to rebuild and recover from so many losses, their empire would collapse and the resistance of the ussr, Britain, and France would prove too much for the Germans to handle, they would pull back to Germany and the long war would end in a stalemate.

We would most likely be taken over by Nazis!

Great comment #1. Absolute hit. Dear Jaded, please be informed that by June '44 Russia had recaptured most of the territory occupied by the Nazies and was building up its military potential rapidly. Less that 1 year later, Berlin was taken by the Soviet troops (ever seen this picture:http://English.pravda.ru/main/18/87/347/9934_victory.HTML). A 'D-Day' was no more important than a mosquito's bite in elefant's skin, pardon the allegory. The Red Army could have occupied the whole of Europe by, say, Autumn '45. I'm not saying this would have been good, but this was definitely possible.

The USSR could have easily beat the Axis powere on their on. We would have seen the USSR invade Europe from the East, and the British and its Empire would land in Sicily on their own, only later on, perhaps 1945-1946. The USSR would have been free to dominate Europe, with Britain and France over-shadowed. Britain beat the Japenese in Burma hands down in 1944-45, but I expect the USSR,as it did in real life, would have declared war on Japan and taken the place of the USA in laying down Japans post-war sanctions. Instead of a Nazi dominated Eurasia, we would be living in a Soviet dominated Eurasia, and probably Africa by the sixties-seventies, too. The USA would be in the second place that the USSR held in real life in the cold war.

Firstly remember this ...Japan would have attacked the USA regardless of the state of play in Europe in 1941. And the USA would have responded,and Gemany and Italy would have declared war on the USA in support of Japan ( Treaties)War for the USA was unavoidable. Secondly to those amongst you who belive that the USSR would have still beaten Nazi Germany, if the USA had not entered consider this.. The UK was, in late 1941, still very much in the war. It had stood firm against the threat of invasion (again), its commonwealth allies where fighting with her in Africa, the Middle East and Greece,and it was buliding its strength. Hitlers biggest single mistake throughout WWII was to turn on the USSR while leaving a Trouble-some and increasingly belligerent Britain behind him, He(Hitler) could not ignore the UK, and significant forces had to be commited to keep the pressure on the island nation. Had Germany been able to crush the UK in 1940, then Hitler would quite easily have found himself reviewing his troops in Red Square, instead he was thrown back when only 100miles short of the Russian capital. There are many Nations today who owe their continuance to a 26 mile wide stretch of water called THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.

probably the usa would under pressure to race for the atomic weapons. since we were the firt to bomb Hiroshima and nagasaki. well Germany probably would have gained atomic weapons. we wouldn't because we have no reason to since we never entered ww2

Germany would of took control of every country in Europe. British troops would of been smashed with no mercy, absolute power over Europe would be in Adolf Hitler's hands. USSR is another question that should be asked, with it's great numbers of troops, tanks, rockets etc. Germany and the USSR would of fought for decades.

it probably wouldn't have affected America that much actually. They may have remained isolanist instead of getting very involved in other countrieS like they have since WWII and countinue to do today. However it would've affected the rest of the world although i agree with people the Nazis would've eventually been defeated by the Soviets even without American help but it would've taken much longer. It also depends if America aided the allies or completely stayed neutral, if America was totally neutral then Germany may just have conquered all of Europe and most of the rest of the world, if they didn't fight but gave aid to Britain and the soviets than the Nazis probly eventually woulda been defeated by say 1950 at the latest. The soviets probly woulda taken over all of Europe and made an agreement with England after defeating Germany meaning the Soviets likely woulda controlled all of Europe leaving England very vunerable as the only non communist country in Europe. The US and England probly eventually woulda launched an operation similar to D-Day to try to free Europe from the Soviets later on

I believe that without the united states industrial contributions russia would have not been able to defeat the Germans on there own. Americas lend lease policy helped russias troops have the best air and land equipment available surprising the Germans and boosting the red armys morale tremendously.

Answer 2

If the US had not gone to war; the Japanese Empire would have consolidated its Asian co-prosperity sphere. The war in Europe would have taken much longer. The US would have made billions of dollars in profit from selling arms, like it did in WWI.
