What if Churchill & FDR were not in the politics during WW2, will Britain continue to stand up against Germany

Answer 1

History is half a second and half an inch. If these two men did not entery politics then the world now would have been very much different. You see it was Churchill who roused the British people to endurance after Dunkirk. If he had not have done so then chances would have been that Britain would have been knocked out of the war either by invasion or terms. Having his western front free Hitler could have concentrated his whole force on Russia. It was resistance and defeat in Yugoslavia that delayed for those vital few weeks operation Barbarossa , the invasion of Russia. Those few weeks that got the Germans bogged down before Moscow. Chances were that Hitler would have won in Russia as Russia was headed for collapse. Also had not Rooservolt been president then chances are that America would not have entered world war II. Because the only reason why she was regared as an ally of Britain was that Rooservolt supplies Britain with ships and material. Also even after Pearl Harbour(remember that the aircraft carriers were out and they had prior warnings) America might not have entered world war II. As there was a strong isolationist movement in the United States then.
Hopefully this would not have been so. But at the very least the Axis would have gained great advantage. They came so close to winning that war. The absence of those two men might and probalbily would have swung the balance their way. The axis would most likely have won world war II. America would still be a great power. More than likely we would have the world of 1984 where 3 superpowers existed. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE GREATER GERMAN REICH and THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE EMPIRE. Not a good world to look forward to. In ancient Rome when Phyrrus was defeating Roman armies and he proposed peace, most of the senators were inclined to do so. Howeve the blind old original APPIUS CLAUDIUS gave such a rousing and steadfast speech that the Romans rejected his proposals. After that Rome became the great power it became. Can you image how history would have turned out if Rome had not been such a great power. History is indeed half a second and half an inch. Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

This needs to be broken down into two parts. Firstly, FDR was a hawk, and he was itching for the chance to get involved in WW 2. However, there was a major, and I mean MAJOR neutrality and peace movement going on in the US at the time, and realistically, if FDR was not the president, the chances are good that the US may have remained neutral, since many of the embargoes levied against Japan were penned by FDR himself. That doesn't mean we would not have stayed neutral, it is almost a given that sooner or later Japan would have attacked an American holding in the Pacific, and that alone would have drawn us in regardless of who was the president. But with FDR and well before Dec. 7th, realistically, we were involved in the European war.~~~~~~~~~~Now then, PM Chamberlain, the Prime minister before Churchill, and his policy of appeasement was wearing thin in Britain no matter what. It is probably safe to say that regardless of who the next PM was, the Brits would have stiffened against Germany. What can't be known for sure is to what effect a different PM would have had on the war effort, since Churchill had a military background, and he saw things in that context. A PM with no military experience may have caved in to Hitlers demands and stayed out of the rest of the war. Afterall, Germany was a super power of the 1st degree, they steamrolled Poland and France, had the best airforce in the world, the best tanks, the best tactics, and their men were superbly trained. Hitler made it clear that he did not want to change anything Britain, he just wanted them to break the Allied treaty, and forget about the conflict, so he would not have to fight a 2 front war. And this all comes back to FDR. If there had been a president other than FDR who wanted neutrality, military supplies for the Brits never would have happened. Without that aid, and no matter how much the English wanted to resist, they would have been doomed for certain. It was Americas entry into WW2 that ultimately turned the tide and won the war on both fronts. our supplies before we entered the war gave the Brits a fighting chance, and without FDR, that may not have happened.

Answer 3

As according to earlier solutions, Pearl Harbour strike through the Japenese. However it was once no longer till per week later the Germans declared War at the US. There have been that wait even as they watched what the Jap's adopted up with, Italy follwed the Germans lead and the leisure of the German Allies, Hungry, Rumania, Slovakia all adopted swimsuit, the Bulgarians, Croats and Fins certainly not declared struggle in opposition to the Americans although they in which combating with the Germans. The American President would no longer claim struggle on Germany, so as soon as once more the struggle could have long past very another way and Nimitz, Marshall and MacArthur could have received there method and the Pacific could had been the most important battleground for them. However earlier to this the Americans in which very energetic within the Atlantic and a quantity of incidents with a few Destroyers being torpedoed even as getting into the German Declared War Zone didn't support issues. If the Germans have been in a position to ship a few freighters to America, I do surprise what the Americans could have performed, due to the fact underneath the Lend Lease agreements, any country with the cash to shop for struggle items from them would. But like the entire states who went to struggle, the Americans in which very unready.

Answer 4

The British had had enough of the failed policies of Neville Chamberland by the time Winston Churchill had taken office. If it had not been Churchill, it woudl have been some other equally stubborn Brit who woudl have lead them through WW2. The same holds for FDR and the USA. The situations and conditions of world affairs were such that anyone weaker than either of the above named two men woudl have been quickly outed from office and replaced with someone with the backbone to stand up to Hitler and the German War Machine.

Answer 5

You are asking a question that is impossible to answer. If it wasn't for the industrial might of the United States during that time, Great Britain and Russia probably would not have survived without our free aid. If Germany had waited another year for their scientists to develop the atomic bomb and jet aircraft, we in the United States might be speaking German right now. So, to answer that question would be nothing but speculation.

Answer 6

Britain is historically not known for backing down. As they were closer to the problem than U.S. geographically they probably would have. Churchill did make some inspiring speeches though.
