If America would not have joined the war effort, would the Third Reich have won?

Answer 1

Have you forgotten D-Day? The most massive assembly of men and material in history and it was an amphibian landing. Most of those troops and ships were American or made with American money. American General Eisenhower was in command of the Allied Army.

Russia would not have been able to hold out that long without supplies from the Allies. And by the end, Russia had lost so many people (7.5 million soldiers) it is debatable they could have done more than defend their homeland. They could not have fielded an army by thenselves to help Europe.

England was also in no position to launch an invasion of Europe by itself. With the Nazis controlling the rich iron and coal fields of France (Alsace-Lorraine), all Hitler had to do was bide his time and regroup. The French resistance while noble was not in a position to overthrow the Germans either.

Without America, even if Britain and Russia could have kept Hitler out of their countries, they could not have removed the Nazis from Europe. If Hitler had had the time to develop the rockets his scientists were working on, he would have had a new and formidable weapon.

Without America there would have been no D-Day, no offensive, no stopping the Third Reich. Germany was not in danger of losing any part of Europe. If Hitler couldn't conquer Russia the first time, what was to prevent him from waiting, regrouping and trying again.

But thanks to America, the Allies were able to invade Europe and eventually destroy Hitler and the Third Reich.

Answer 2

With all due respect to the fighting men of the USA, and of Britain, and her Empire, It was the armies of the Soviet Union that defeated the Nazis.

From a year (from May 1940 - June 1941) Britain and her Empire stood alone against the Germans. And Until mid 1942 the British and the Soviets were the only people actively fighting Germany. When American troops began to show up in numbers, in spring of 1942, the war had already been going on for 2.5 years, and the turning point battles of Stalingrad and El Alamein neither involved the USA.

What the US supplied was the productive capacity that helped the Soviets and Britain to defeat the Nazis.

Answer 3

The Axis would have ultimately won.

First, without the American navy intervening in the Battle of The Atlantic, Great Britain would have been eventually choked off by the U-Boat campaign. The resulting collapse of the British Empire would have meant that the Germans and Italians would have occupied the Middle East.

While the Soviets fought the bulk of German forces, they could not have held out without the immense logistical support of the United States. With both the US and Britain out of the conflict, the entirety of German military might would have turned against the Soviet Union, and the Soviets would have lacked the capacity to feed and equip its armies. What's more, with a neutral US, the Japanese would have probably launched attacks themselves at the Far Eastern Soviet provinces.

Ultimately, the Soviets would have been worn down. The Germans and the Japanese would have linked up in India, and the US would have been left alone in the world to cope with the Axis.

Answer 4

Depends on what you mean by joining the war effort. The US was part of the war effort before Dec. 7 1941. (reference the lend-lease agreements with UK)

If you mean "If US forces did not fight in the war effort...", the other allies would have definitely still prevailed.

If on the other hand you were to ask, "If the US had not sided with the Allies, would the Axis powers have prevailed?" That is a somewhat dicier proposition. Without the US materials, England would not have survived, Russia would have been able to put up one hell of a fight, and partisan forces would have chipped away, but all in all the Axis powers would likely have defeated the Allies.

Answer 5

The very harsh words of the Treaty of Versailles both bankrupted and humiliated the Germans and many products of land and their African colonies were taken from them. This left a foul flavor and residual anger contained in the Germans. The Munich contract of 1938 gave Germany some territory in Czechoslovakia (the Sudetenland) and they were allowed to annexe Austria. Hitler became no longer chuffed and, in August 1939, Germany signed the Ribbentrop-Molotov %. with Russia; this became a non-aggression %. and regarded like a bypass for peace. regardless of the indisputable fact that, there became a secret clause in which Germany and Russia agreed to take and percentage Poland. On 1st September 1939 Hitler released Blitzkrieg on Poland - an unprovoked attack which hit complicated and quick and without even a announcement of conflict. This became one step too a procedures for Britain and France and a pair of days later they declared conflict on Germany.

Answer 6

lol the soviets were losing the war then. come on it was us that opened up a second front. on them that what freed up the Russians Germany couldn't handle a a two front war like the US could.oh and BTW we were supporting the war effort way before we were actually in the war sending Britain food bombs and even planes even tho the spit fire gets all the Glory most Brits were flying the p-41-A mustang SO ALL THOSE POINT TO YES THEY WOULD HAVE WON WITH OUT US

Answer 7

Too big an "if", but Germany's effort was stalled due to a lack of a Navy (same problem Napoleon had) and petroleum not to mention having a politician instead of a general running the Wehrmacht.

War is the rapid consumption of assets and Germany just didn't have them.

Answer 8

Actually....without U.S. intervention, most of Europe would be under Russian control. The Russians would have taken more time to do it, but they would have swept across Germany and smashed the Wehrmacht to pieces, and brutalized anyone in their path. Just look at the numbers, the casualties of Germans in action against the Soviet Union are greater than against all other Allied nations combined.

Answer 9

Yes, We got directly involved in WWII when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, that drew us into the war. If we had not become involved then Germany, Japan and Italy would have more than likely took over. Scary thought, but true. So we should daily thank all WWII veterans and veterans of all wars for their duty.

Answer 10

They would have had an excellent chance: the US furnished tons of material to Britain before officially joining in the all out effort. Had they done neither, Hitler was definitely on his way to overall supremacy.
