The Germans knew that oil would be crucial to the war and that they would likely need to capture new sources for the war effort.
The main oil-producing regions at the time that might be captured were the Caucasus region of southern Russia and the Middle East.
The Germans committed hundreds of divisions in their attempts to take the Russian oil but mere fractions of this to the African front, which was less well defended. But what if they did?

They would’ve lost since Mexico just had their revolution. Overthrew Porfirio Diaz, then Madero got in power, 6 months into power he got double crossed and assassinated by military leader Huerra, then he got overthrown by revolutionaries (Pancho Villa, Venustiani Carranza & Emiliano Zapata) which then decided to go to war against eachother. And carranza ended up killing the other two to get all power to himself with aid from the United States. So, in what world would Carranza decide to go against USA, if the USA basically funded his movement to get him to power ? We would have to think further back to another president who would’ve been more likely to do so, like Diaz or Villa. Problem then is, mexico would probably go into civil war, so you’d need to find a president who is likely to go against USA desires AND can mantain stability in México. I can’t think if anyone alive during this time to do the job. So when Mexico declares and goes against USA, it would probably have more chances if it’s a surprise declaration and just moves in. Which would see some initial success since USA hadn’t mobilize. But would soon be pushed back to rio grande and into Mexico. Which would make Mexicans revolt and overthrow whoever was in power.

Probably short term territory gains for Mexico at the start and delay US troop arrival into Europe possibly giving the Germans some more time for their major spring offensive and delay US support to Britian and France. Long term I would think the US could stabilize the front and push back Mexican forces from US territory and possibly into a counter-invasion into Mexico proper. This could lead to the US facing decent resistance but capitulating Mexico or Mexico seeing it would be a lost cause and then to negotiate a separate peace with the US and other allies if they joined to help the fight. Then the US would turn attention to Europe and send its main forces over but they might not need to at this point since Germany was starving and on the brink of revolution regardless. So probably was for the best for Mexico to not join but it’s just my opinion. Interesting scenario regardless

To add on that. There would be no realistic way for Germany to send aid(in substantial numbers that would actually make a difference) to Mexico due to British Naval blockade/supremacy, and the major geographical distance between the two nations. As well as the US would most likely do a Naval Blockade of Mexico with their superior navy. On top of that if the war went bad for Mexico(which it most likely would) it could cause widespread unrest and riots in Mexico against the government potentially leading to a coup and/or civil war from anti-government forces. Making the situation for Mexico even worse. Even if we were to be very hypothetical and Generous to Mexico and say by some chance they pushed deep into the US taking back much of the border states and southern states they once had as territory, the vast border they would have to man and stretched supply lines would make it guaranteed that the offensive would halt at some point and be pushed back. As well as they would have taken significant casualties to get to this point.

The Allies strictly didn't want to call a minor ceasefire with the Axis to only help the Finns (Also, it didn't help Sweden also would allow transportation through their country as to stay 100% neutral). Then the British in the interwar period seeing as they wouldn't be able to assist Finland and attack Germany at the same time decided to supply the Soviets.

My one disagreement with this is the Soviets. Stalin knew he would have to go to war with Germany but he didn't think it would come in 41. He was shocked that Germany invaded. I think that in this scenario he would still be shocked to be invaded in 42. Personally, I don't think the nine months Soviets had would have done anything. They would be no more prepared for war in early 42 than they were in mid 41. As to what affects that would do to the war I can't say for certain. I think the war would be extended even if it was the nine months of the later start. Sorry sometimes my history brain just takes over. From an entertainment purpose, I'm absolutely loving these videos.

Hitler would have immediately stopped on any of them. He set in precedent that if they were to deny any of those he would concede. Also the first two were a guarantee that he wouldn't purse any further the Sudetenland might have been different though if the first two went through, but a very slim chance. Also with the Anchluss Mussolini had been very stigent on guaranteeing Austrias independence, but had no real support for it. Even when he requested help from the British and French they told him to pretty much go fuck himself because he invaded Ethiopia, and it wasn't like either of those countries hadn't been slaughtering and taking more control of land from their colonies at that time. They just didn't want Italy fully surroundin the area.

My brother and I imagined a scenario where no one wins World War II. Everything is going exactly the same as in the current timeline, BUT the USSR achieves a surprising victory in Finland, giving Germany fear of war and thus avoiding Barbarossa (or so we think). On the other hand, Japan would not be so brave to attack Pearl Harbor or the Philippines because the US navy would be prepared for any war seeing what happened in Europe, this would mean that Japan would only concentrate on China. Returning to Europe, a kind of "tie" occurs between the United Kingdom and Germany, the bombing campaign goes on and on because neither side plans to give in, there is simply no room to discuss peace since Hitler, seeing his plan of obsolete destroying Stalin would have an even greater thirst for power, perhaps even attacking countries in the Middle East such as Turkey, Iraq and Iran in search of reaching the British Raj (a scenario perhaps similar to the one in this video). This came up when my brother asked me why so many people believe that Germany could have won the war. I answered that, the most Germany could obtain was a tie with the Allies as long as the United States did not join. What do you think?

I don't really agree with the undermining of the loss of egypt of the British, they would have lost Malta, Cyprus and all of the mediterrenian would be on lockdown. Not to mention Iran also having many oil fields and a pro axis government, a lot of the lend lease to the soviets went through Iran, in this timeline it would have to go through Murmansk(very close to german positions) or through the eastern ports(very close to japan) in a way bigger scale. Also I don't think the germans would just let north Africa fall that easily with egypt under control. Egypt also provides with a lot of food which means troops and people don't starve.

It was a very good possibility with Mussolini being very stigent on guaranteeing Austrian independence, but the British and French were passed because Italy took Ethiopia as a colony. Which the reason as to why they got passed off about it removed land passage between their own colonies. Britain was wanting to take Ethiopia through means of papers (there's a long list of colonies at the time that had been set as a precedent for whichever country wants to take them can either do it by warfare or tricking them into signing papers which Italy decided to do the first meanwhile Britain and France were both trying the second). Eventually when mussolini approached them they said nope, and all he could do was find a way to try and not be invaded at the earliest possibility. So he decided to join the Axis, and was presuming to start the war against the French and British in 1943 via the Pact of Steel. Which originally he only planned on invading Yugoslavia and Greece, with trying to convince the British to give up Malta and Cyprus and the French in giving up Tripoli.

They would have probably been better off focusing on submarines almost exclusively with just enough surface ships to prevent a naval landing on their coast. There was just no way for them to put enough resources into the naval game to beat the Royal Navy in a pitched naval battle, not with their plans (>>Barbarossa) - raiding with subs at least caused a good deal of economic damage to the British Empire while being a cheaper option than those overpriced Battleships. Of course, at that time the idea was to 'make one Huge ship that could defeat a large number of the British ships' Which would have been fine if it actually worked - Unlike us, they didn't have the power of hindsight.

TBH, given that AT LEAST since Mein Kampf he saw the USSR as the obvious needed expansion place and "judeo/bolshevism" as the end of wester civilization... and that most of those ideas, including the underlying eugenics and that empires crumble when they get too many barbarians, were not even his own, but passed for mainstream science at the time... and not just in Germany; in fact most were imported from the USA... I find this scenario somewhat improbable. Yeah, sad thing is, it wasn't those ideas that made National Socialism a fringe ideology. It was the other way around. It was actually seeing what the logical conclusion of those ideas is, when someone actually does something about it, instead of just hand wringing and whining about it, that made the world go, "eeeh... maybe that's a bad idea." Well... sorta... one way that this could have played out this way is if Halder actually told Hitler that, yeah, no, there's no way in hell they can get the strategic objectives in 4 months. Possibly with some help from Keitel and others. Then I suppose that Adolf might have looked for other targets. Or not.

I think this timeline would be more realistic if instead of postponing Barbarossa (destroying the bolsheviks was central to natzie ideology), the germans do a much smaller 1942 offensive (fall blau) in order to divert resources to Afrika Korps. You also forgot that the major route of supplies for USSR was through Iran where an anglo-soviet invasion happened in august 1941. In this scenario Turkey doesn't even needs to join on the axis side because the germans can just get to Baku through Iran. The fascist Iraqi government I believe was a good call though.

I think it’s a lil illogical that the soviets could stand this good against Germany who have their biggest problem solved (lack of oil) and captured 80% of the Soviet oil fields + extra manpower from turkey and better equipment and development in war weapon technologies. Including the new super modern submarines of the Germans. Yes you could bring up the argument that the US would supplies them with oil and other scarce goods but with the new submarines they could hardly supply the soviets from the Atlantic site and Japan makes it hard for them to supply from pacific. Of course Soviet Union would have had more time for perpetration. Nevertheless, the advantages of the other side greatly outweigh those of the Russians. Just my opinion Still interesting scenario.

How about this scenario, but Germany does not turn on the Soviet Union. In fact, after getting Turkey in their camp, they actually invite The Soviet Union to join the Axis, but this time seriously, unlike their toying with the idea in our timeline. Such a move, coupled with the lack of a Battle of Britain, leads to the possibility that the U.S. never declares war on Germany (or vice-versa) and there is then zero lend lease to the Soviets. Then, the Germans could focus the majority of their military production towards air power (say ME-262 mass production in 1943) and then turn towards England with everything they had.

Think my only issue with the play through would be Hitler expending units to still get the Caucasus, with Iraq in the fold they wouldn’t have needed the oil, so once they took Stalingrad, they’d make a B line to Moscow.

I do agree to an extent that the axis could've still lost. However, I can't help but note the lack of securing the Mediterranean more fully. In particular, by including Spain and coaxing them into attacking and securing Gibraltar and perhaps, by pressuring Vichy France, into securing the western coastal region of French West Africa. Who knows, perhaps they could put pressure against Allied possessions in Western africa in the Sahel region and west central Africa. Additionally, the Axis wouldn't have been focused on pressuring Turkey and Iraq. There was a third nation. That being Iran, known as Persia at the time. Iran was a major oil producing nation. In fact it was quite literally the prize in the middle east. Around this time Iran was producing more oil than Saudi Arabia, simply because the oil production in Saudi Arabia didn't grow until the 1950s, also because they had just discovered the tip of the iceberg in Saudi Arabia the rest had yet to be discovered and produced. Finally, by militarily supporting Iran, the Axis could've opened up another avenue of attack against the Soviet Union in central Asia, in particular modern Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Additionally if Germany truly wanted to work with Japan to achieve victory. By using Iran as a staging area, they could've attempted to conduct an Oriental strategy with Japan by coordinating offensives into India and the Indian ocean region. This most definitely would have stretched resources significantly, but, it could've seriously weakened the allies had the offensive succeeded. Who's to say. 🤷

Consider how many paths in game allow for an alliance. The Hungarians have its own in the form of the Pact of Rome, Italy has one that immediately invites Bulgaria, the Turkish have a path to ally with Italy, France has the Latin Entente... heck, Vichy France has a chance to, once its final focus is complete, start down the path of the Latin Entente. So... what if Italy, as the shining jewel of the Mediterranean, creates its own faction. This has potential, as Italy's faction could either be dragged into a war with the allies or potentially a war with the Axis if Yugoslavia is in Italy's alliance.
