In 1940 Halifax decides to run for prime minister instead of giving the post to the much less popular Churchill and he succeeds in that. The invasion of France proceeds on schedule but Halifax decides not to evacuate Dunkirk saying that the Luftwaffe will easily sink the rescue fleet. Hitler sees this as a sign of weakness and directly after the creation of Vichy the Luftwaffe launches an offensive against Britain. With the RAF suffering defeat after defeat and with Italy in the war (nobody expected the huge Italian army and fleet to be so weak) the German-friend Halifax sues for peace. Egypt, Sudan, Cyprus, Malta and the territories at the Horn of Africa will go to Italy. Suez, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar will go to Germany. So will Tanzania and some Namibian ports (SA keeps the rest) and Cameroon. British forces will withdraw from the Mid east and Syria (+Lebanon), Jordania (+Palestine), Iraq (+Kuwait) and Saudi Arabia (entire Arabic peninsula) will all come "under the protection of Germany." 70% of the British fleet will be given to the Germans instead of reparations.
Hitler now starts to build his Grand Alliance composing of all European states except Sweden (Switzerland is annexed), which is allowed to be independence since their-easy-to-destroy mines is vital to the Germans. In 22 may 1941 the Germans invade the Soviet Union; this time the invading force is almost 2.5 million men stronger (Italian troops, Spanish troops, Yugoslavian troops, German troops otherwise used for occupational duties in France and more troops from the other minor axis countries which historically send very few men in 41). With Britain out of the war the surprise element is lost, but the Soviet army still use the same stupid static defence lines making them easy to encircle and the Soviet people in general knows nothing about the threat since Stalin, still believing that he can avoid war by diplomacy, does not want to show any weakness at all to the people.
By the end of 1943 the Axis has reached the Astrakhan-Archangelsk line and what remains of the Soviet Union has collapsed in to Lebanon-style anarchy. The Germans will use now use the Luftwaffe to wipe out all major cities and industrial centres in the lands west of the Urals and in western Siberia.
(After the victory in the east Sweden is finally occupied and annexed)
What happens now?
Note: try to discuss what happens after the German victory, not how plausible this scenario is.
