Supposing that the US becomes fascist during the Great Depression, and decides to side with the Rome-Berlin Axis (implicitly alienating Tokyo over the Pacific), what would the battle plan be? The US would have a network of tributaries in Central America and the Caribbean to draw tribute from, and it would aim to in theory, replace Britain as #1.
This would involve defeating Canada in a “parallel invasion” with the German invasion of France (likely delayed) in order to force Britain to the negotiating table in exchange for confirmation of rights over Canada for the US, and to hand over the Congo and certain British colonies for Germany.
In the Pacific, the US would take advantage of this and Fall Gelb to push from the Philippines into Indonesia in order to a) access more resources b) cut off Australia and force it into surrendering. What the US would do with occupied Indonesia is unclear, due to the absence of a desire even among the most fanatical American fascists to acquire a greater overseas empire and the lack of Pan Asianism that would justify independence.
