What if Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, South Africa, and the entirety of Latin America all joined the axis while simultaneously Central Asia, India, and all other allied colonies rebelled?
>>18286198Wouldnt have changed a thingOnly made the war last a few more years
What if Germany wasn’t isolated or got surrounded?https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/central-european-history/article/abs/germany-and-the-fashoda-crisis-189899/https://wittprojects.net/ojs/index.php/whj/article/download/386/305/345

Would have just stalled it further, more nukes everywhere
>>18286198This is a totally random list of countries.Let's break it down...>SpainJust coming off a civil war, too weak to contribute anything meaningful, Hitler would have had to spend more troops defending a longer Atlantic coast for no benefit, just another worthless 'ally'.>PortugalSame as above except Portugal was strongly pro-Allied (despite Salazar being fascist). Even more unlikely than Spain to join in.>SwedenAlready was kind of an Axis-leaning neutral. They contributed to the German effort by trading with them extensively in rare minerals, more important than whatever military contribution they could do.>TurkeyToo weak to contribute anything, would have opened (and lost) a front in the Caucasus. Only interesting because they control the Bosphorus Strait.>EgyptBritish were still running shit here.>IranAlready got invaded by Britain and Soviets. No difference.>South AfricaNo reason for them to switch sides, their economy was linked to Britain. Could have tried to be neutral at best.>the entirety of Latin America Depended on the Atlantic for trade, and the Atlantic was controlled by the US and the Royal Navy. Joining the Axis would have been suicide. Also their economies were linked to America or Britain, not Germany.>Central AsiaUnder firm Stalinist control>India rebelledThey already did that IRL. There was even a pro-Japanese Indian Army.Your list outs you as a midwit.Turkey is the only interesting proposal, because opening the Bosphorus Strait would have allowed the Italian navy to attack the Soviets in the Black Sea. Still, a weaksauce idea and not a gamechanger.
