But would Halifax cut a deal with the AXis after the defeat of france and Vichy installed (focus on the empire and let the eurpoeans do what they want with the continent?)
So all it would take is Halifax taking the job as British Prime minister and Hitler sending Joachim v. Ribbentrp instead of canaris to negotiate with Franco.
With the Brits at peace with the germans, US would probably not have joined in.
With that context if it is not to far fetched that...
Separate Peace
Do you know what was on the table?
Hitler tried to offer a separate peace with the Brits in 1940 but was denied. What would need to happen for a separate peace to actually be negotiated and what would be the consequences? Could the axis have beaten USSR if they got a peace...
